It was not very difficult to locate the place ol disaster as the red flames shooting high into the frosty air served as a target tar-get to aim for. The burning structure was found to be a large barn belonging to Eggerisnn. It cuntained several tons of hay, some machinery, two buggi s, and two harnesses har-nesses all of which, together with one cow, four head of horses, and several Chickens were totally destroyed. The loss is estimated to be several thousand dollars The building of a railroad from Park City, through Jleaber, Charleston, and down Provo Canyon to Provo City; thence to the rich mines of Tiulic, is now said to be a sure thing.

RESOLUTIONS Whereas in the wi-e dispensation of Providence death has removed from our midst our fellow student Elias A. Olson. Therefore be it resolved; That although al-though his life was short, being less tlu-n twenty three years, it w;.s such as to show that he possessed in his charact er the elements ot true mauhood that he was ambitious to make himself of use to the world, that he was a true Latter Lat-ter Day Saint, and that if he had lived his life would have been a ciedit to himself and a comlort to his parents. Resolved that during his stay among us lie made fi lends ol all with whom he came in contact, that he leaves no enemies and none whose feelings were ever hurt by his woid or deed. Resulved that we deeply sympathize with the bereaved parents and Iriends, trusting that the feelings which death has awakened may tend to make us more charitable and lendar in our intercourse in-tercourse with the living. Resolved that these resoutions be nuhlishrri and rummicated to the family of the deceased. I |
