"I am glad that the Department of Interior abandoned its unreasonable hike in grazing lees. It has acknowledged that the proposed level would not have meant more revenue for the government as they had originally claimed, and would instead, have created economic havoc by putting countless ranchers out of business.

There will be sign actors interpreting the opera in sign language. It is about a young boy who lakes pleasure in his naughty behavior, until he is scolded and shown the error of his ways by objects in his room and the animal garden. In Utah Opera's shadow interpreted version of the opera, two sign actors "shadow" the singer portraying the boy. The sign actors represent the Boy's positive and negative sides, and with the beautiful visual expression of American Sign Language, lead hint through the eternal struggle of good versus evil. Christiansen It's hard to believe, but Patrick Coughlin, who spent a good part of his childhood in Eureka, then moved to Park City, paid with his life for a crime that started with stealing strawberries. Coughlin, 23, came to Salt Lake City from his home in Park City, about 30 miles to the east, on July 24, 1895. Coughlin was there to celebrate with his friends, the 48lh anniversary of the Mormons entering Salt Lake Valley. Before it was over, Coughlin faced a firing squad because as the Deseret News of Sail Lake City said on December 15, 1896, "evil companions and questionable resorts suited his fancy far belter than good ones. He liked sowing to the wind and lived to reap the whirlwind." The gala festivities marking the 48th Mormon anniversary, included a parade down Main Street. Along the route, were sidewalk vendors selling goods. It was from one of these that Patrick and his friends, Frank Kenney and Fred George, stole strawberries. Frank went home and was met by Deputy Williams who arrested him. He was fined $20 and released. Coughlin and George, learning of Kenney's arrest, laid low for a few days and then stole some horses and headed out of town. Sheriff Harrington of Park City, was notified and he headed for Emigration Canyon hoping to cut off the two culprits. Meanwhile, the two had entered the canyon and there met a third friend, A.D. Bruce. Coughlin and George told A.D. they were headed for Wyoming to become shcephcrders. Fifteen or twenty miles further toward the Wyoming border, Coughlin told A.D. they were really going to steal horses and herd them into Wyoming to sell. A.D. said he didn't want anything to do with that. Before he could finish talking, Coughlin drew a gun on him and told him to "throw up your hands and be quick about it." The two "friends" relieved A.D. of his horse, money and riilc and sent him on his way. Sheriff Harrington and his deputy, Earl Williamson, met Coughlin and George near the Morgan County line at the top of Emigration Canyon. Rifles were drawn. Sheriff Harrington yelled. "Now Palsy, put away the gun." Coughlin responded by shooting at the sheriff. The bullet shattered the sheriff's saddle horn, sending a piece into his face. Coughlin and George rushed on over the mountain. They rode into the small town of Wanship where they purchased more than 3(H) rounds of ammunition. They camped that night at the Palmer cabin in the mountains a few miles west of Evanston, Wyoming. Sheriff Harrington returned to Park City and telegraphed law officers in Evanston. A posse was formed at Evanston, consisting of special Deputy N.E. Dawes, Constable Perry Stagg of Echo, and Calverlv and William Talor The posse surrounded the Palmer cabin at 5 a.m. The lawmen planned to capture the two as they came out of the cabin. The plan was disrupted y when Fred George spotted Taylor. Fred shot at but missed. Coughlin and George then opened fire on the lawmen. After a half hour exchange of gunfire. N.E. Dawes was killed. A few shots later. Perry Stagg was also killed. The remaining two lawmen who had used up their shells, went for help. The two outlaws were unhurt except for a slight flesh wound on George's thigh. After Coughlin and George saw the lawmen leave, they made good their eseape. Angry citizens of Evanston hurried to the cabin after hearing the Taylors report. They assumed the outlaws were still in the structure when they arrived, and they riddled it with over 500 rounds. Salt Lake City Sheriff Hardy and fourteen deputies headed for Ogden hoping to surprise the two culprits by using a different route. It just happened that Coughlin and George were returning to the city on the same route. When the outlaws and lawmen saw each other across a canyon. Coughlin led George to City Creek Canyon. Patrick knew this area well because he had once spent a summer shcephcrding in the area as a teenager, Two Cal-vcrl- Cal-verl- berries (continued on page 2) y, |
