THE communication on our third
page, on Polygamy," has been de-
layed several days, on account of the
absence of the editor. 1t is from the
pen of an estimable lady, who has
doubtless studied her subject, and is
familiar with the history of the in
famous institutions about which she
writes. Polygamy is crime, and it is
no credit to our government that it
has been pracIiced so long by the Nor

suit against the Sheriff for gathering

a telephone wire, as they strongly sus-
pected it was stretched across the
street for the purpose OF tripping those
who happened along.

engaged to give the supper, which is a
sufficient guarantee that it will be all
that an. epicure could desire. They

Mrs. Torrey having kindly agreed to
give them the use of her dining-room
and tables for the occasion. Mrs.
Richard Robinson, who is known to be
the best cook in the State, is preparing
the turkeys for the festive board, and
the ladies will spare no pains or ex
pense to make the supper one of the
best ever given in the town. Supper
will be served from ) o'clock to in

ready at Ii o'clock, and will be furn-
ished at the low. price of standard

The stolen Goods Traced 90 China
Town.

1t is customary for teamsters to- load
their wagons with merchandise and
leave them at the depot over night.
The contents of the wagons have not
heretofore been disturbed, and. nothing
was ever stolen from any of them.
Now change has taken place, and the
Heather Chinee F" is supposed to be
the cause OF it. Saturday night some
packages we're stolen from a. loaded
wagon belonging to George Baker, and
Sunday night several packages were
stolen from one Of Elias Jones wagon,
The thieves were tracked by trail of
saw dust, whicht dropped out Of one of
the boxes, to Chinatown, below the
Courthouse, yesterday. The saw dust
could be sesn on the steps leading down
into one of the Chinese subterranean
dens, but no trace. of the goods could
be found in the den. As the goods,
which consisted OF tobacco, butter and
other articles of that kind, could not be
found In the China house, nothing can
be done with the owner, although the
circnmstantal evidence against him is
strong. The Chinese burrow in the
ground like gophers, and it is thought.
that they have secret caves. in. which
they hide stolen articles, Two years
ago the Indians discovered where they
had hid stolen -four in the sandhill
back of Chinatown, and a close search
unearthed nine or ten sacks of -four
which had been stolen from X emler's
mill by Chinaman who was employed
there. 1t is likely that the articles
stolen from the teamsters have been
buried in the sand, and will be kept
there until the excitement caused by
the theft subsidies and the teamsters are
less watchful than at present.

Frank Pierce young man about 81 years OF
age, son of Arson Pierce, hardware dealer of
this city, attempted suicide on Sunday eve
ming, about o'clock, by shooting himself
with revolver. The facts as near as we are
able to learn, are as follows: Young Pierce
| in company with some of his associates, had
been Inducing somewhat in liquor during the
day and had returned from saloon near the
railroad depot, where it is said they procured
liquor while on their way down town. Pierce
said to his companions that he was going tC
the store and shoot himself, which remarl
they had no idea he intended to carry out, but
it seems they did not know their man, for
arriving at the store, he entered, locking thu
door behind him, procured q revolver. an(

A few moments after committing the deed en-
trance was effected to the store by means o

very critical condition with the, chance
of recovery very doubtful.
