ii'S Orson F. Whitney Relates
II j Story Of Crickets And Gulls
' ' Salt Ixiko City, Oct. 1. Elder Or
B' !;'. I ' son V. Wh',tnoy of tlio Council of
I i ' v tho Twelve, author of Whitney's Ills
B j tory of Utah, thus describes the In
B cldcnt of tho gulls nnd tho crickets:
B ( ' ' "No ovent In westorn history nwak
B, f , cna more interest than tho episode
B of tho crickets and tho gulls. It
B occurred In 1848 when Salt Lake City
B , tho earliest settlement In tho Rocky
B 1 mountahi region was less than one
B year old. Tho so called city was not
B even a vlllngo at Hint tlmo; It was
B little moro than a camp, consisting
B of n log and mud fort, enclosing huts,
B tents and wagons, with about 1S00
B I Inhabitants. Most of theso had fol
B ' ' lowed Immediately nfter tho pioneers
j who. with llrlfihnm Young their lead
Bf j CTt arrived on the shores of tho Great
H ' Salt Lako In July, 1847. President
H- j Young and the others had returned
H " fj jo tho Missouri river to bring moro
Bj ' of their migrating people to their
Bj j ' now homo among tho mountains, nnd
Bj L' those who remained woro anxiously
B (j awn'(tlng tho results of their first la
B (j tors to redeem tho desert and mako
B ' & tho wilderness to blossom.
B ,! j "Somo plowing and planting had
B ! !' been done by tho pioneers upon their
B If nrrtval, but tho seeds then put in,
B 1 I' such as potatoes, corn, wheat, oats,
B I ' peas and beans, though well Irrlgat-
B i ed did not maturo owing to tho late-
B I ness of tho season. Tho nearest np-
B f proach to a harvest that year were
H j y n fow small potatoes, which served
B ' I as seed for another planting. It was
B therefore their first real harvest In
Bl '. thru leulon that tho settlers of these
Hl solitudes were looking forward to at
H'l tho time of the episode mentioned.
Hj ".Much depended upon that harvest,
H not only for the people already hero,
H , lmt for 2."00 additional Immigrants,
Bi who were ulfnut to Join them from
Hl, tho far nwny fr ntler. The supplies
H(i brought by those who came tho first
Hj j season had been designed to last on'.v
Hi about 12 months. They woro giadual-
Bl j ly getting low and theso settlers, bo
B' ' It homo '11 mind were well nigh Iso-
Hjj lated from the rest of humnnlty. "A
B J thousand miles from anywhere," was ,
Bj a lilirco used by them to describe
BK1 their location. They had lltt'e com-
B I munlcattou with the outside world and
B' l,lnt Uttlo was by means of the ox
i team and tho pack mulo. If their
H ( harvest failed, what would become
m them?
BM "In the spring of 1S4S, 5000 acres
Hi I of land were under cultivation In
Bt Salt Lako vn'lov. Nino hundred
H acres had been sown with winter
B wheat, which was just beginning to
H sprout.
Bj "Then came an event as unlooV.cd
H "for as It was tcrrlb'e tho cricket
B plague! In May nnd Juno these do-
B" j utructho pests rolled In black legions
1 down tho mountain sides, and attack-
H i ed the Holds of growing gran. T'io
H tender crops fell nn e3y prey to
H their llerco voracity. Tho ground ov-
H cr which they had passed looked ns
H If Fcorrhed by flro
H "Thoioughly alarmed, tho commun-
H, Ity men, women nnd children mar-
H I shullcd theselvcs to fight tho raven-
H ous foo. Somo went through tho
H fields, killing tho crickets, but crush-
H Ing much of tho tender grain. Somo
B dug ditches around tho fnrms, turn-
H cd wntcr Into tho trenches and
H drovo ana drowned therein tho black
H devourcra. Others beat them back
H wi,th clubs and brooms or burned
H them In fires. Still the crickets pre-
B j vailed. Despite nil that could bo
B I dono by tho sottlcrs, their hopo of a
B harvest was fast vanishing a liar-
BB j vest upon which llfo Itself seemed to
BB depend. ij $
BB I "They woro rescued, ns they bo-
B 1 Heved, by a miracle a greater mlra-
Iclo than U sa'd to hnvo saved Itome
when tho cackling of KCcso roused
tho slumhorlng city In tlmo to boat
back tho Itnadlng Cauls. In tho midst
BB jj of tho work of ruin, when It seemed
BW I s 'f nothing could stay tho .destruc-
BBB. Hon, great llockH of gulls appeared,
BBj !' "Xing tho n'r with their while wings
BBJ" nnd plalntlvo cries. They sottled
BBJ own upon tho half ruined fields. At
Mi "rBt " looKeu as if they camo hut to
BHj j no'P tho crickets destroy. Hut their
B j rcn' Purposo was soon apparent. Thoy
1 canm'tn prey upon tho destroyers. All
Bj 1 dh' long they gorged themselves, dts-
BBji I gorged, and roasted again, tho white
BBj- I culls upon tho black crlckots, llko
BH' oits of hoavou'and hell contending
BBJ nntll tho pests woro vanished and
BBJ. ,1 tllu Peoplo savod. Tho birds then ro-
BBJ, ' turned to tho Lako Islands, leaving
itho grateful settlors to shed tears of
Joy over tholr timely dollvorarico.
"A season of scarcity followed, but
00 fatal fhmlno; nnd boforo the worst
m tame, tho glad people celebrated
iV1 Wl"' a publI fcu8t- their first hurv-
bVBiI "Tb eu" ls 8tl" t0 '" seen In tho
bvbubvbV4
vicl,nity of tho Great Salt Lako. Tho
wanton killing of these birds was
mado punishable by law. Rome had
her sacred geeso; Utah would havo
her sacred gulls, forever to ho held
in honor ns tho heaven sent messen
gers that saved tho pioneers."

The wholo country was shocked by tho solution of the horrlblo Hudson river murder mystery. It seemed In
credlblo thnt tho Rev. Hans Schmidt, assistant rector of St Joseph's Catholic church, New York city, could bo tho
slayer of tho butchered victim. Hut lib nrrwtt ufter u clever pleeo of detectlvo work nnd lib confession seemed to
prove conclusively thnt tho priest had cut unfortunate Anna Aumullef's thront whllo she slept In tho flat ho rent
ed for her nnd then hnd dlsnioinborod her body with n carpenter's bbw nnd butcher'B knife. Ho tied tho soveral
pieces of her ltody up In butldles nnd dropped them Into the Hudson river, according to lib confession. Ho said he
hnd dono tho crime "for lovu'' and that "God nnd Abraham" would tnko caro of him. This plcturo of tho priest
was taken only n few days beforo tho crime. A plcturo of tho victim found in the flat Is also shown, with n view
of the church whoro Schmidt served. Tho nrrest of Dr. Ernest A. Muret, n dentist, on n chnrge of counterfeiting
wan mndo as u sensational development of the strango case, It being nlleged by tho pollco thnt tho priest was in
i tnro-itet' In the plant Schmidt's dnuhb life was fully revealed.

"THE WOLF" AT
1 THE NEW LYRIC
Lugeno Walter's play "Tho Wolf"
which comes to tho Now Lyric on
October 14th might bo called a poem
play of pictures. It ls very seldom
that ono sees a play that grips tho In
terest and piques tho curoslty with
Its first lino. "Tho Wolf does that.
Tho curtain rises upon a beautiful
sccuo , it ls Indian summer In tho
Northorn woods. Pines and golden
follago mingle their light and shade
A Btream winds down tho avenuos
of cottonwoods In back ground aro
tho bluo foot hills. To tho right Is tho
log houso of MacTavIsh, with a great
treo in front of It. Under tho tree sits
Ua'tlso, tho Canuck, puffing at his
rtfpo. In tho porchwny Is tho gaun
form of MacTavIsh, ho, too Is amok-'
Ing. Tho two men puff in silence for
a moment, whllo tho auditor takes In
tho porfect coloring perspoctlvo nnd
grouping of tho sceno. Then MacTav
Ish says "you say sho died mon."
This Is ono of Kugono Walter's
strong points begins his story with
tho opening llifes. Ho wastes no tlmo
In unnecessary conservation, and he
sticks to tho point from curtain to
1 curtain
