Show 40 YEARS AGO ... " . From the Files THE DOINGS AT DELTA On Friday next (June 30, 1911), we will all mourn the death of poor old Burtner, with all of her sorrows and troubles, but on the morning of July 1st you will see us all celebrating the name of our new town, Delta. NUMBER FIFTY-TWO This is the last number of the first year of the Chronicle. If you have not paid your past year's subscription send in the money, as we need it badly. It takes some money to run a paper the size and quality of the Chronicle. (Norman B. Dresser, editor.) Boat Capsizes at Swan Lake Hanging to the side of a boat out in Swan Lake, W. H. Weever spent 13 hours in the water in a storm which raged over the lake and which made the man's rescue impossible from 11 a. m. Friday until 2 a. m. Saturday morning. The storm-lashed lake held back the rescuers who attempted to reach the man with rafts. Weever, with Emory John, was in a boat on the lake trying to locate some guns that fell into the water some weeks previous, when a sudden storm overturned the boat. Weever, being unable to swim, clung to the side of the boat, while John swam to shore and gave the alarm. It was not until three different rafts had been built that the man was rescued. The first two were blown astray and had to be abandoned, but the third one got in reach of him. HINCKLEY William C. Curtis has just completed com-pleted his new frame house in Hinckley, and that is not all - -there are four houses in course of construction - - George A. Webb, frame; William H. Bishop and Edwin Ed-win Anderson, brick residence and home; Richard Parker, of Abraham is erecting a nice brick home here also. We are glad to publish that the brick used in erection of the above named constructions were manufactured by Messrs. Stount and Cushman at the Hickman Yard. They have plenty more and can supply you if you anticipate building this summer, and you should make arrangements for the bricks early. The liquor election is going off very quiet and everyone seems to be dry. (The incorporated towns of Millard went dry, as was expected. ex-pected. Fillmore gave 225 majority, major-ity, Scipio 133 and Hinckley 180.) OAK CITY Ex-Governor Heber M. Wells and party were visitors at the home o' John E. Lovell Sunday. They were down on mining business. E. L. Lyman has been working his farm in Burtner the past week. B. L. Robins has been in Oak City the past week engineering a road up Dry Creek Canyon. Speakers at the temperance meet ing held Sunday were Jos. L. Anderson And-erson and Edgar Nielson. Among the many sporting events on the Fourth of July the most interesting will be a big ball game between those with brown arms and those with white arms. For a number of years some of the boys have worn their sleeves rolled up and now they have enough en-ough following the English fashion fash-ion to support a baseball nine.
