SALT LAKE, June 11.-There was great
excitement here to-day. A soldier came
down TO the city last night from Camp
Douglas, and getting drunk, committed
breach of the peace, for which he was
arrested by the police and locked up in
the City Prison. Early this morning
Lieutenant Dinwoody, from Camp Doug
las, made a!demand for the surrender of
the soldier, which was refused. This re-
fusal being made known to General Nor
row. Major Gordon, with full company
of cavalry, was dispatched to take the
soldier at all hazards. The troops came
galloping into town, armed with earbines
and pistols, and halted in front Of the
City Hall, dismounted, and having
formed in line, proceeded to load their
weapons. Meantime news of the affair
spread like wild-fre, and crowds of peo-
pie fastened to the scene from all quar-
tiers. The Major then entered the City
Hall, accompanied by Governor Woods,
but could find no one in authority, e1-
cept some police officers. He demanded
that the imprisoned soldier should be de-
livered to him for trial by the military
authorities, but the demand was again
refused. Major Gordon then led his
command to the rear of the city build
ings, and breaking and entrance to the
Jail, took the soldier out amid deaferine
shouts and cheers. The troops then re-
mounted, and with their accused com.
rade, started back to camp, the
welkin ringing with cheers, to which the
troopers responded with enthusiasm.
Hundreds of ladies and the pupils of st.
Mark s School opposite, who were just at
recess, joined in the demonstration with
a will. Thousands of citizens were pres
ent, and in some instances, Mormons
cheered the boys in blue. There was no
resistance on the part of the Mormon
officials, or even protest. The Gentiles
are filled with joy that at last the au.
thority of the United States Governm emf
is feared, if not respected, in Utah.
