CRUSHED TO DEATH
IN CAVING TUNNEL.
W. L. Riley, who has been employed
by Tom Hogan at the railroad camp
at Cotter as a baker, was here Friday
on his return to St. Louis.
According to Riley, an Irish laborer
was crushed to death by the caving in
of the tunnel across the river from
Cotter about noon Tuesday. This
tunnel on the White River branch is
to be about 12000 feet long and as there
are clay streaks running up and down,
the work is made both difficult and
dangerous. Only last week a party
of 14 laborers were cut off from es
cape by a caving in of the walls, but a
rescuing party s ucceeded in digging
through and saving their lives. Riley
says that the Austrians cannot be in
duced to work in the tunnels and the
only ones foolhardy enough to do so,
are the Irish imported labor.

QUAINT, QUEER AND CURIOUS.
The late Col. John Cockerell in The
Cosmopolitan said, “There are three
unique cities in America, and one of
these is Salt Lake City.” It is not on
ly unique in its temple, tabernacle and
other Mormon church institutions,
but quaint in appearance, with its
wide streets, immense blocks and
martial rows of shade trees. It has,
perhaps, more attractions to the
square yard than any city in the
country, and its climate, while tem
perate all the year round, is particu
larly delightful in summer. The
Great Salt Lake, with its magnificent
Saltair resort, where the water is
“deader and denser” than that in the
Dead Sea in Palestine, is an attraction
in itself that people come miles to see.
There are many cool mountain and
lake resorts uear by, also numerous
very pretty canon and park drives,
and hot sulphur springs. Fishing and
hunting can be had in every direction.
xutJ tup iruiu ueuvcr iu c*au—
City and Ogden, via the Denver & Rio
Grande and the Rio Grande Western,
is one of unsurpassed pleasure.
Here nature is found in her sternest
mood and the whole line is a succes
sion of rugged canons, waterfalls and
picturesque valleys. No European
trip can compare with it in grandeur
of scenery. During the entire sum
mer tnere will be low excursion rates
to Salt Lake City and conti ruous
country. It is on the road to the Pa
cific coast, if that be your destination.
