Scofield.A few evenings ago our quiet little burg was suddenly disturbed by sweet strains of music coming from somewhere we knew not where. Says a burly looking fellow,standing:hard by,’‘that's the Provo concert fellows coming, 1*11 bet a dorg.” Sure enough It was, and they were landed In front of the jolly little butcher’s/anjl I can tell you they were a hungry looking lot* .1 also thought they looked rather dry, for they seemed to look wishful toward Mr.David W. Holdaway^ place. Wellthat ere concert crowd began to-rustle; I knew what they were rast ling for, because I know what I do when I am hungry. There was one little slim man among the crowd who F-e-l-t rather sprier than the balance; he seemed to be flying around rather promiscuously* I thought he was on springs, for I had to look twice to get a chance to see him. Well, after the crowd scattered around and found places to hang up for the night they partook of some of the necessaries of life* After the gentlemen tooted their horns and the +lt;gals” took a fresh chew of gum (they seemed to kno^y enough to do that—the I way they chewed),*they then retired to . the Assembly Hail and the grand concert soon commenced. v?hich‘WOUnd up with a general hop. The'next morning that ere crowd began to prepare for their homeward bound trip. They took in sqthe of the sights of Scofield while waiting for the train* BIr. Jepperson called in to Interview the jolly butcher, and told him a fishy yarn about some swimmers that inhabit Utah Lake. .We saw the crowd safely huddled on the cars about 11:20, and away they went on their homeward journey.By standee.Scofield, Sept. 2, 1889.
