Show 4 - ' : SALT LAKE 4- 4 CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. The building of the Moffat ' road, ; , which means so .much for Salt Lake, ; despite the conflicting, rumors that are : prevalent at stated intervals, seems to be practically assured. Following the story that D. H. Moffat has been un- able to place his bonds on the market 1 comes the word that $22,.r00,000 is now I forthcoming for the building of the 1 cut-off between Denver and this city. Landlord Fred Wey of the Windsor ( will dispose of his lease of that hotel - and confine his attention to the man-' man-' Bgement of the new Wi'.son house. Par-j Par-j lies from Fut-blo and olher centers 1 have been looking at the Windsor wilh j a view to taking it. 1 The two children operated upon by i-roiessor iorenz ior congenital nip flis- location are doing well. The little girl ' Muriel Rausche is as lively as can be, 1 and her mother has to watch the child ! to keep her from getting around at too ; . lively a gait with her bandaged kg. ... j The only real inconvenience she experi- j 1 ' enced was in recovering- from the ef-I ef-I fects of the chloroform, which required ' four days. I ! In accordance with- the recent de rision of the president to reduce the army to a peace footing, thirty soldiers will be discharged from the Fort Douglas garrison this week. The hab-' hab-' Hues of the guard house will go first. ' and these gentry will be "bobtailed": 1 ' that is. discharged without honor. This will reduce materially the convivial I contingent at the post, and the local ' saloons will be out the monthly pay of i these men. The infantry company commands will be reduced to sixty-five ' i men. I i Thomas Roach of Morgan. Utah, who ' has been at the Holy Cross hospital for ' I treatment for spinal meningitis, was j yesterday removed to the county jail, . ! as his reason has been dethroned by 1 the disease. Roach's mania is of a re-' re-' ligious turn, and he is under the belief that Dr. Mayo, county physician, is : the Deity, and derives great comfort 1 from the doctor's presence. It may be i necessary to take Roach to the asyium I , 1 at Provo. ' I Coal men are responsible for the i statement that the assertions recently ; I made to the effect that the price of I coal would be advanced are unfounded. f Local coal men say that they have a I good supply on hand and that they do I not anticipate any rise. |
