FINED FIVE FOR FIGHTING.
W. L. Riley and Louis Burley were
each fined $5 and costs Saturday noon
before Acting Mayor J. R. Mayhan

guilty, but the latter was given a hear
ing.
QUAINT, QUEER AND CURIOUS.
The late Col. John Cockerell in The
Cosmopolitan said, “There are three
unique cities iu 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 iu 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 near by, also numerous
very pretty canon and park drives,
and hot sulphur springs. Fishing and
hunting can be had in every direction.
The trip from Denver to Salt Lake
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- j
sion of rugged canons, waterfalls and ]
picturesque valleys. No European I
trip can compare with it iu grandeur j
of scenery. During the entire sum- j
mer tnere will be low excursion rates !
to Salt Lake City and conti ruous'
country. It is on the road to the Pa- j
ciflc coast, if that be your destination.!
