Show MANTI FLOOD ITEMS. Meeting w as dismissed on Sunday July 13th because of a slight flood, and on July aoth for the same reason, before the services were closed. The mill owners say if that canyon can-yon road and bridges are re-built the sheep men will have to do it this time, as there is nothing in there that they want. It will be a nice little job, tor it is about three miles long. Mr, Bleak, whose place was so badly damaged by the flood, received re-ceived one courtesy from his assailant as-sailant worthy of mention. It brought him a long flume, stolen from above, that he put in place and used to carry car-ry off the mud and water from the lower part of his domicile. Mr. Fred Abler of Manti hung a . valuable watch on a nail w here he was working in the mill in Manti canyon. He forgot it in the excit- mrnt and it went down to a watery grave. Perhaps some enterprising antiqi arian a thousand years hence, will find it, and classify the civil- ization of our clay by the perfection of its mechanism. Although a valuable val-uable watch with another maker's name on it, its termination makes it a water bury. (Waterberry) There w as some talk in Manti on Sunday last of the prospect of a suit for damages being planted agairst Felt, Olson cc Co., by Geo. A. Lowe's representative. A machine depot had been rented, and rents paid, in the row of lumber rooms being pm up by them in Manti, nine weeks before the Hood, which they agreed to have completed in three weeks time. Their failing to keep their agreement was the cause of over 150. worth of machinery, being lost in the flood. |
