The EDWARDS SHOOTING CAsE.-We
publish by request the following letter,
furnished the Salt Lake Endowment in
regard to the killing of Edwards. former
" miner OF Phoebe
SALT LAKE CITY,
May 90, 1873.
EDIroR NEW ENDOWMENT: Sir-In the
Herald of this date read what purports
to be the testimony in the Edwards
shooting case. which occurred at Sandy
Station on the 18th ofthe present month,
wherein the editor says. there was EVIL
dence TO the effect that James Livingston,
one of the parties implicated in the kill
ing of Edwards, went up to where he (E)
was sitting on log, to arrest him, and
did lay his hand on Els shoulder and
call him his prisoner This is false in
fact and detail. rs the notes of the re-
porter will show. He further wantonly
misrepresents the testimony by saying
there was evidence which went to show
that Edwards fired the first shot On
the contrary, there were three disinrerest-
ed witnesses. John Diamond, Robert
Hoffman and J. Dexter, who swore posi-
lively that they saw David Huffaker fire
TIN first shot, and that his second shot
killed Edwards. Now, / appeal to the
written testimony in the case, as taken
down by the reporter.
There is nothing strange, however, in
the Herald's statement of the case, as
the editor has bottleful OF tears to
pour out every time any Of his parish
toner's are charged with crime.
Respectfully.
W. r. KEITHLY.

This afternoon man named Patrick
Conroy was found lying in front of No.
II Waverly Place, house of ill-fame.
He was unconscious and bleeding pro-
fusely from three scalp wounds inflicted
with knife or some sharp instrument.
He was taken to the hospital. Augusta
Williams, landlady of No. II, says she
was in her room dressing when Conroy
opened the door and went in. She told
him to go away, but he insisted upon her
accompanying him to another room. She
refused, and he went up to her, and seiz-
ing her by her hair, which was flowing,
tried to make her yield to him. She got
him to the front door and pushed him
out. She says he fell headlong down the
steps in front of the house, and must
have got his wounds that way. The
wounds will probably prove fatal

FAIL TO APPREcATE.--The members of

regular meeting ordered, by resolution,
that the money contributed by Brigham
Young, and other leading Mormons, to-
wards defraying the expenses of Decora-
ton Day, be refunded to them, as "the
acceptance of said contributions would
be an insult to the memory of our fallen
comrades" That don't detract from the

LEPRosY. The Post is doing good
service in expressing the fact that lep-
rosy exists in san Francisco. In one
year from to-day San Francisco will
be at the expense of Leper Hospital for
this city, and the most exhaustive pre-
cautionary measures will not free this
coast from it in this generation. This
terrible disease is not contagious in the
common acceptation OF the term, but it
is transmitted by sexual intercourse. It
is hereditary; it is communicated by the
contact of handling; it is given'by inoc-
ulation. Yet there are people in San
Francisco who keep male Chinese for the
care of children, to wash and dress and
care for their little ones. Chinese are
employed to wash clothes; Chinese serv-
ants are hired to cook our victuals, and
are even employed in some hotels and
restaurants. They pick fruit, peddle
vegetables, roll the cigars that some peo-
pie put to their lips and smoke. The
ordinary domestic servant must have
his holidays and evenings to spend with
his people in their filthy dens and vile
opium holes. II this fearful scourge of
leprosy does not extend to them, and
from them to us, we may thank the prov
icence of God, and not our own precau-

THE YELLOWSTONE INDIAN WAR.
The campaign against the confederated

The campaign against the eonfederated
tribes of the Yellowstone valley-princi-
pally composed Of Sioux-may be con-
sidered as fairly opened. Prince Lieut..
Colonel Fred. Grant, who, by virtue OF his
birthright rs the son Of His Majesty Ulys-
ses |, jumped from West Point over the
honored heads Of gray-hairtd veterans to
Il high position in the army, and who is
now figuring c6nspicuously in the Yellow
stone campaign. will probably have a
chance during the summer to receive
his baptism of fire. A dispatch from
Bismarck, the western terminus of the
eastern division of the n. 7. Il.
r., says the first gun was fired
by tue Indians about three weeks ago,
when they attacked Fort Lincoln. few
miles west of and on the opposite side of
tine river from Bismarck. They came
within six hundred yards of the fort and
fired into it, drove in the heriers, and
ran of several head of Government stock.
Enboliened by their success last summer
in turning blek the troops OF General
Stanley on the Lower and Colonel Baker
on the Upper Yellowstone, they will fight
with much spirit and determination, and
long and bloody war may be expected
before they will consent to the North Pa
ciic passing through their hunting
grounds. The Modoc affair will
be II mere hagatelle in comparison.
The Yellowstone tribes are well
supplied with breech loading arms
and ammunition, and roam over vast
stretch of country which viii afford them
subsistence wherever they may camp
as it comprises the great buffalo ranges of
the continent and is melted with streams
Astounding with fish, on the banks of
which esculent wild roots-the savage's
bread-grow in profusion. We expect the
Yellowstone campaign to be the opening
of what will be chronicled rs one of the
greatest Indian wars of American history

A Tucson (Arlzonl) correspondent
under dataof May 18th, writes as follows
to the San Diego Union: The removal
Of the FIRST Cavalry from Arizona, and
the rumOrs that General Crook may be
taken from US have caused a deep feeling
OF anxiety. There are at least five hun
bred unconquered Apaches yet rowing
in the mountains; the Pimas, Maricopas
and Colorado Indians have to be looked
after; Cochise and his band have never
given any allegiance to the Government,
further than to agree to stop numbering
AMI robbing in Arizona, and they dis
tinctly declare that any attempt to muster
them for count, to see whether they
are all on the reservation, would cause
them to at oncs 90 to the mountains
again. Aud in addition to all this, we
border on the territory of Mexico for a
distance of four hundred miles, and COM
plications ARE constantly arising making
the presence OF troops necessary. A
number of our citizens are now in the
State of Sonora, to purchase horses,
cattle and sheep. The country is all be-
ing prospected, new farming settlements
are springing into life, and two years of
peace will add more to the substantial
wealth OF the Territory than fifty years of
war;
NEVADA GRAND LODGE / o. O. F.
The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows which
will meet here on the Sd of June will
hold their meetings in the Assembly
Chamber which is now preparing to re-
ceive them. As conveying an idea of the
probable number that will be present we
will state that there are no less than
twenty-five lodges of Odd Fellows in this
State and as many as 1900 members OF
the Order. We reckon upon an average
representation of at least tour delegates to
each Lodge-upon which estimate the
Grand Lodge would have as m my as one
hundred members. This is quite a
numerous body; and as their delibera-
tons are likely to extend over term of
at least four or five days, and as these
gentlemen will mostly come from dis
lance, 1t would be an appropriate and
courteous thing for such of our towns
people Ms have the accommodations to
offer, to invite these delegates to their
houses. We hear that some preparations
are on foot looking to ball for the en-
tertainment of these visitors. - Carson

Curious Story About n 1InMk.

A curious incident occurred n few
days since short distance from Balti-
more, local paper says: Ono Of our
well-lnown merchants had gone ont on
visit TO friend, at whose house there
was bright little boy, and one day, to
please the child, lie manufactured n
very large kite, and MS the wind was
strong enough, the kite was raised Mt
once. After il had gone up nearly half
amilO, large crowd of country people
collected TO admire it, as such a mag.
nifcont toy Ind never been seen in that
section before. While tho spectators
were admiring it, very large hawk
was seen to fly slowly out Of neighbour
ing grove aud go directly toward the
kite. The hawk approached within
few feet of the strange looking object,
and then circled about under Il for per.
haps five minutes, when he flew Just
above it and again ledaroundsevGrnl
times. Suddenly lie lowered directly
over the kite, and after looking at it in
tontly for short time, dGrtGd down
ward, aud striking the paper, passed
directly through the kite, coming ont
on the other side. After this strange
experience, which no doubt puzzled tho
hawk vastly, he flow of a short distance
for reflection, but still keeping the kite
in view. Not being disposed TO give IL
up so, he quickly returned To the charge,
and this time fastened on tho long string
Of rags that were used as n tail to the
kite, which lie tore mud scattered in the
mir In savage manner. Finding, how
ever, no resistance on the part Of the
kite, he became Disguised or scared,
and flew away toward the woods whence
he came. Tho gentleman says that
whenever the hawk made an attack he
would retreat little, as II he expected
tho strange bird was going to return the
assault |

Ocean Regulations.

The Cunard line OF steamers has cor.
tain personal" regulations which n
captain can only break in emergencies
Of the most serious kind, and tho result
OF their well.dciined instructions has
been that they have never lost passen.
ger. Somoof their regulations, indeed,
nre so strict as to be somewhat amusing.
For instance, not very long ago the
master of one Of their Liverpool and
New York fleet having n short timo pre-.
viously taken to himself wife, applied
for permission to take his lelpmate
with him for lust one voyage. The re.
quest was granted moro readily than he
had anticipated, but, MS it turned out,
the company took one view OF tho trans
action and the captain another. Pro.
cecding MS usual to superintend the re.
moval OF the steamer from the dock TO
the river, lie was astoundcd to find a
brother captain in the act Of giving or.
doris. Explanations were given, and il
transpired TINT though the company
were not unwilling that Captain -
should take his wife to America, they
were not disposed to trust him with the
ship also. One charge was sufficient
where tho lives Of nearly thousand
passengers and the safetyOf n very large
amount Of property were concerned.
The story illustrates very forcibly the
manner in which the Cunard proprietors
have obtained n reputation both for
speed and safety.

Unalrcd Chambers.

The following sensible advice is given
MS by correspondent in the Country
Gentleman:
~ pass some houses in every town
whose windows might rs well be sealed
in with the walls for my purpose they
have but to let in the light. They are
never opened, summer or winter. In
winter il is too cold in the summer the
flies stray in, or, il they are netted, the
dust sits through the nets. Now, lean
tell person who inhabits such cham.
bers when l pass him in tho street
there is such n SMELL about his clothing.
/ always wish for n sniff Of cologne, or
hnrtshom, or burnt feathers, or some
thing of the sort, to take tibet out.
A house TINT is never aired has every
nook and corner filed with stale odors
of cooked meats, boiled vegetables, es-
peCiAlly cabbage and onions, which, MS
the weeks so by, literally reek in their
hiding places.
"Who has not wished sometimes to
hang new servants clothing out OF
doors some frosty night until il should
be thoroughly aired But have seen
the fine Indies come sweeping into
church with their velvetsa and silks, when
SAID velvcts and silks gave unmistakablc
evidence Of having been housed in Just
such shut.up chambers. Oh, what Il
tale that odor Of pork and cabbage tells
about the lady's style OF housekeeping !!
Tho very garments Of the children tell
the same story of unclcanIiness. II is
bad TO have unyashed clothes, but
there may be MI excuse for it, But whit
excuse can there he for unaired ones,
when mir is so cheap and free? There
is death in such nnaired chambers.
Better q swarm Of flies or cloud of
dust, better frost and snow in n room,
than these intolerable smells. Dear
girls, the lirst thing in the morning,
when you are ready to go down stairs,
throw open your windows, take apart
the clothing of your beds, and let the
air blow through it MS hnrd ms it will.
There is health and wealth in such n
policy. II helps TO keep away tho doc.
tors with long bills. It helps to make
your eyes sparkle and to make your
checks glow, and to make others love
your presence. Girls who live in those
close, shut-up rooms, can only be toler-
nted ut the best in my circle"
