Cash reward offered for single copy of historic newspaper

Today we are going to launch the Wasatch Rambler Scavenger Hunt with $50 of my own personal money for the lucky individual who finds one special item.

No kidding. Cash. Green stuff.

To collect, you must deliver into my hand a genuine copy of the "Utah Danske Amerikaner," a fine publication that sputtered into existence in Huntsville in 1885, dragged along a year or so, then sputtered out again.

The reason I am offering so much money is that this is one of several lost items of Top of Utah's history that I know are out there somewhere, filed away, buried in an album or lining some ancient parakeet cage.

A blue 2000 Ford Focus was northbound on Interstate 15 just north of 700 South in Clearfield when it went across the median and hit this tractor-trailer Tuesday night. The car's occupants, father and son, Jorge Revilla, 63, and his son Christopher, 29, both from Ogden, were killed. (Photo courtesy of the Utah Highway Patrol)

The driver of the Ford, Jorge, lost control on the snow packed roads and went into the median. The car submarined under the cable barrier and went into southbound traffic lanes. A red 2009 Volvo tractor/trailer, was southbound and the Ford slid into the Volvo. It was a t-bone collision on the passenger side of the Ford. Both occupants were killed instantly. The driver of the Volvo, Tomasz Czech (age 53 from Milton,Ontario) was not injured. Seat belts were worn by all occupants. (Photo courtesy of UHP)
