The Daily state register. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1870-1872, 1872-09-08

had an item in regard to an affair &C.
curing in Utah, headed "a Polygam-
ist Outwitted." We have since seen
Mr.. Smith in person, the gentleman
who rescued the young lady from the
Mormons. and he a Y we were in
error in regard to the facts of the case.
Our informant was not altogether cor
rect. Mr.. Smith did not take the
wives of the man to the Conference
in Salt Lake City, as was stated, nor
did he leave horses and buggy at Og-
den when taking the cars for this
State. After a stay of nearly three
months ut Fort Ephraim, San Pete
county, the residence Of his sisters
husband, he went south, where he re
manned some time, and on his return
to Ephraim represented to the poIyg
amist that he had taken up some land
ia that section and would go to Salt
Lake City to obtain the pre- emption
right, desiring that his sister might
accompany him. Her husband gave
his consent, and the brother and sister
started for the city by stage, and Kept
on until they reached this place, which
they reached the day that their arrival
was looked for in San Pete. MIR.
Smith does not wish TO have the affair
misreprescnied, and we therefore
make the correction.
GALA DAY.-Yesterday was a sort OF
a gala day in the REGISTER office.
During the day we were visited by a
number of ladies', of all age and poll
teal proclivities. Printers are always
pleased to see the smiling counter
ances OF the fair sex. to witness the
modus operandi of the business, and
gladly explain The mystic working OF
The art. But on yesterday. especially,
we were favored with visits from a
number of the sex indicated, and we
finally began to suspect tina there
might be a conspiracy of some sort on
foot. bu. after ~canvassing their poll
teal leanings, and. ascertaining they
were equally divided between Greeley
and Grant. abandoned all fears on that
score. We shall be pleased to receive
calls from our lady friends at any
~time-either Democratic or Repub-
llran.

the V. & T. r. R, running from the

almost finished, and the new depot

THE BELLs.-The Curry boys were
engaged yesterday in taking down
their bell and delivering the same to
the State Prison authorities in ex-
change for the one belonging to the
