THERE are rumors on the street that
the divorce case has been settled and
compromised, aud that the bill has been
or would be dismissed. Upon inquiry
We find that there is no truth in these
reports. The suit is pending and will
be prosecuted with all the vigor aud abil-
lily which plaintiffs counsel can urge in
the maintenance of the position they
have assumed. The suit will never be
compromised by their advise or procure
ment, and certainly ii Il settlement is
effected they will not agree to any terms
which are not honorable and advanta-
/ geous to their client. 1t is true that
propositions looking to a settlement have
| been made to the lady plaintiff, and that
outside parties, acting ON her behalf,
without the knowledge or consent of her
solicitors, have endeavored TO induce her
to accept some paltry sum and forego
her suit. Ii it can be brought into
Court and tried on its merits We antici-
pate decision which will do more
toward destroying polygamy than all
other causes or agencits that have been
at work in this Territory The lady
plaintiff has our entire and sincere SYM
pathies: if she will be true to herself
and to her own rights she will unl must
succeed Salt Lake Jurnal, 6.
REGULAR ToRNADo.-Just after going
to press yesterday afternoon a most vio-
lent wind-storm occurred We have
seen many high winds in Utah, but that
of last evening, although it lasted for II
few minutes only, eclipsed all the previ-
Gus ones. Large trees were blown to the
ground in many of the wards, and
i branches innumerable Were broken of
and sent whiz2ing through the air like so
many comets. In the Seventh ward the
! roof of two-story house was neatly
taken off and deposited in the rear OF tn,
g lot. Many awnings and signs bid ader
to their old abodes, and to-day new one
are being erected. Small rocks were nc
tnnlly lifted from the ground. and il
