WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO SHORTY? An odd character known as Shorty has been ranching above Clifton on the Blue. Shorty has some dogs who are his inseperable companions. He is never seen without the dogs nor are the dogs seen without Shorty, up to last Wednesday morning when the dogs appeared in Clifton alone. It was immediately conjectured that something serious had happened to Shorty and a party was made up to go out and investi- gate, and has not returned yet. On the same day the men at Hudson & Desseret’s camp saw six or seven Indians and came to Clifton so as to give the Indians plenty of time to get to the reservation. — Liberal.
