SENTENCED Hawkins, convicted of
adultery in Salt Lake Court, for marry
ing more wives than he was justly entitled
to, has been sentenced to three years
Imprisonment and to pay fine of $500

given by Judge Lake in the Jack Stratman

1t is reported that Horace Greeley has
got into muss with a Texas editor. 1t
appears that in an agricultural essay on to-

ripen well unless the tin foil is stripped
from the growing buds early in the Spring,
and that plug tobacco ought to be knocked
off the trees with clubs Instead of being
picked by hand. This the exas editor
said was nonsense, and Greeley challenged
him.
