two miles hired a livery outfit and drove sight eight miles milea to hauns mill called by the people around here hauna mill battle battleground ground upon calling on one man to inquire the way he became very much and desired us ua to stopover stop over to dinner he said be bad learned from some of the old settlers bottlers that the warfare was wai all on one tilde bide I 1 have taken his address and will send him some useful reading there to la scarcely arcely ac any one to in all the country around but knows know something about the shoal crook creek tragedy As we approached the fatal spot a bend in shoal creek we felt that lonely solemn feeling easier experienced than told we drove into a farm house yard close by the grounds to learn that the he old road near the shop had been and a great gnat cornfield covered the whole bend bead worse woree than all the millstone which marked the old well into which the 17 bodies were thrown had bad been pulled away by a team all the ground plowed up and a very heavy crop of corn was wai light fight now raging every finzen should hould commend these gentlemen for the stand they take their attitude brings forcibly to mind the fact that our annual city school election to is to behold be bold early in december and aad for one I 1 say bay let the citizens of salt lake determine to take the same stand for WIS this election that dr park and prof masser baeier nave have taken tor for the otner nothing is ie more vital to the continued continue a success of our splendid school system than that they should be kept clear of political influences influenced suit bait lake to is now molt fortunately situated to carry out this idea all AH authorities agree that the nearest perfect way to secure a non hon partisan part iBan administration by any board or governing body la Is to have it made up of both political parties in exactly equal parts our otty city board today is made up of five republicans publio ans and five democrats democrat why should bould it not be so BO continued the city or precinct committees of both parilea could very easily arrange abe ratter matter by mutually agreeing that where the abe time of a republican or of 1 a democrat expires this year one of the abe same me political faith should be elected to succeed him this arrangement could he be continued indefinitely and the schools kept out of the mire of politics politico as aa they are today onoe once lot let the parties begin to plot plan and sweat for the control of the schools as ag they now do for the public icea ices and we may bid a long farewell to their efflo efficacy acy if it la understood 1 that either party to is striving to gain the be control of the board of at education it can only mean one thing that the board Is in to be used fo for party advantage A republican or a democratic board means next a republican or a democratic corps ol of teachers next the in the school room for one I 1 would rather send end my children to a private or denominational school than to have them attend where I 1 thought they would be taught republican I 1 know republicans who tool feel the same in regard to their children being taught democratic doc trina trine tf hence I 1 say it to is for the benefit of 0 the whole community to keep the board constituted as it is which to my mind to Is the only guarantee that politics will be kept out of the schools L F SALT BAIT LAKE CITY sept A very serious painful nate asto accident occurred to joseph M Lapal Impal eythe plumber Wednesday afternoon mr lappley was engaged in placing

in pursuance of this order that the trouble arose for a number of years a road has run along one side bide of farm last fall the county wanted to fix it ut up and in doing so regarded as necessary a change in the location of a dineh in the roadway they moved thle this on to land covered by the deed and which he says bays he be had not nok dedicated for a public highway and had nut been so ao used under the claim that the roadway should be three rods wide bud aud halt bait ot of this should be off the plain tiflis land the county constructed the ditch and also moved a fence which mr whitesides

the amount of land involved to davis county however the settlement of this litigation on the 1 lines be was of great mome t it if the court should bold that the public highway should be only the amount actually covered by aairon tracks track then the question would be a very serious one for davis davia instead of having a four rod highway on evary road used by the public then in many places there would be only one rod and the abe county would have to condemn and buy for road purposes purpose a vast baet remount hamount of land which now was public property by proscription he wanted the
