A Horse Thief Caught–Death of Mrs. Barton–Columbian Club Exercises—Notes on the side.
- The unpropitious weather of yesterday detracted considerably from the attendance at the stake conference. In the morning Joseph H. Grant, Apostle Abram H.

Smith addressed the congregation upon the general duties of the Saints, both temporal and spiritual.

- On Saturday morning William Wallace rode into town and tied his horse near one of our public buildings while he attended to some business. During his absence an Intoxicated individual took possession of the horse and rode out of town without attracting attention, Wallace discovered his loss about noon and started In pursuit, but the man eluded him and started for Salt Lake by a circuituous route. He was taken in by Chief of Police Gailey before reaching Farmington.
He spent Sunday in the city bastille and his morning was given a hearing before Justice J. W. Gailey, who held him to await the action of the grand jury.
