LATER FROM SALT LAKE. The Los Angeles Star
announces the arrival in that city of w. I. B. San
ford. from Salt Lake. He has made a very success
full trip 1t will be recollected SAYS the Star that
Mr. Sanford, in connection with Messrs Alexander
& Banning about the first of May started fifteen
ten mule teams heavily freghted with merchandise
for the Salt Lake market. The enterprise we learn
has been eminenly successful, although we are in
formed that many obstacles thrown in the
way, by leading Nlormons on the route, and some
even went 80 Tar to preach from the pulpit eau
tioning the people against trading with the compa-
ny. Why this bitter enmty should exist against
any of our citizens and especially against these
gentlemen, who have the confidence of our entire
community, we cannot conceive as the Mormons
have ever been treated by our citizens with the
greatest respect.

Hayes face, who Immediately resented the insult
by welldrected blow in the chops Of Nlcilenry,
and went in full tilt but the police soon stepped
