SALT LAKE CRY, July 2, 1881
The first tidings of the at
tempted assassination of President
Garfield reached this city shortly be-
fore nine o'clock this morning. The
earliertelegrams were vague and some
what ambiguous. When the news be-
came generally known the excitement
was intense. Two performances were
to have taken place at the theatre
during the day, but the management
immediately postponed these enter
talnments, as well as those advertised
for Monday and Tuesday nights. The
promoters and committees in charge
of the two celebrations that had been
arranged for the approaching ami
versary of independence day promptly
took action The Mormon committee
decided at once to abandon the in
tended festivities at Liberty Park,
whilst the presidency of that church
telegraphed to the leading men all
over the territory the following mes
sage:
The lamentable news having
reached the city this morning, that an
attempt has been made upon the life
of President Garfield by an assassin,
and that he is lying dangerously
wounded; e%xecrating as we do the
horrible GRIM of assassination, we
suggest to the Latter-day Saints hat
out of respect to the nations chief
magistrate, and in accordance with
our heartfelt sympathy in his behalf,
all preparations by them for celebrat-
ing the national birthday, July. 4th,
throughout the territory of Utah, be
suspended and the demonstrations
usually had on that day be dispensed
with.

More Bear Talk.

The Gold Hill Neics of last night says:
We have from good authority that the
whole of the SO called secret movement
consists of this--nOthing more. Cap
tain John Kelly and three brokers Of
San Francisco, some little time since,
formed 4 pool and bought 1000 shares
of Sierra Nevada at about 80 per share.
The recent activity and manipulation
in Sierra Nevada are simply the result
of the efforts Of the gentlemen of the
pool to work off their stock at from $i5
to SIT per share. It is presumed that
the pool gentlemen had. an understand
ing with the Bonanza firm to the effect
that if the latter, who had but little
Sierra Nevada, would not short the
stock the former would let Union Con-
solidated alone, and thereby give the
bonanza firm, who held a great deal of
it, a fine opportu nifty to sell some Of
their surplus at from So to Sl4 per
share.

An Important Decision.

In the District Court yesterday morn
ing JudgeKing dissolved the attachment
suit in favor of F.. Mendelbaum Of San
Francisco, against NJ. Gregovich Of this
city. The attachment was upon certain
liquors sold the defendant by plaintiff.
Mendelbaum was asked by the Court to
show his license which he was unable
to do. The Court decided that the
plaintiff being resident of another
State, had sold goods in Nevada without
a license as required by law. 1t was
held therefore that as he had failed to
comply with the law the law could not
uphold him in Illicit business transact
ions. This is the first decision of the
kind ever made in the State.

Game and Pine Nuts.

Capt Sam, the Piute Chief, adver-
tises his schedule of prices for wild
game i'm the Chronicle as follows:
"GOOsa one dollah.
Big goosa, one dollah quatah.
Dam big goosa, one dollah hap"
Notwithstanding the increased rates
of transportation, the Piute does not
increase his last years tariff. Each
year the Indians are obliged to go fur
Their for their game, but a tramp of
twenty miles or so seems to make no
difference. A goose purchased from an
Indian has no rocks inside of it to aug
ment the avoirdupoise nor do the I'M
educated saVages ever resort to the
Christian practice of blowing up the
bird with a quill to give it an obese APP
pearance. "Ducks, Liability and pish"
can be purchased at fair rates. But if
the ''pish' calls to mind the memories
oflimberger cheese, postpone the buying
until some other day. Capt. Jim, of
this city, has been out in the hills pros
pecting the pine nut crop. He an
nounces that there will be more pine
nuts gathered this year than ever be-
fore. The squaws think it fine fun to
tramp forty miles for four bits worth
of pine nuts which they trade off for
few wards of calico to keen no the
fashions. The pine nuts are gathered
by placing the cones in heap and
beating the nuts out with poles or

icler forgetS which. The Indians ais, |

in sequestered spot without noticing
a horse and buggy tied in the willows
near by. The owner of the horse had
just hitched him and was going toward
the mansion when ne noticed the couple
and heard series of startling smacks
which caused the horse to prance about
at lively rate, as the kisses to his ear
seemed like the signal to 60 faster so
often made 10y drivers. He hastenad to
quiet his horse, but the animal hearing

A New Way OF Sending Money by Mail.

A New Way OF Sending Money by Mail.
Postmaster General James has, it is
said, devised plan for sending small
sums of money through the mail at
cheap rate. The device consists Of a
card having three columns, representing
dollars, tens and cents, and the amount
to be drawn is designated by punching
out the figures. Two denomin ations
will be issued; one for all sums within
50 so, and the other for all sums within
S.. The order will be payable to the
bearer, and the postotiice will not be
responsible for their safe delivery any
more than for fractional currency, for
which they are asubstitute. They will
be finely printed on bank note paper.
The postmaster will sell the s. so card
for two or three cents premium, and the
So card for four or five cents premium,
and will himself punch out the amount
paid, and the buyer will simply enclose
the card in his letter, and the receiver
can cash it at any Office. The post
master will enter the amount of the
order on stub, which will be the only
check the Department will need, rs the
name of the sender and payer are not
entered. In order to prevent the use
of the postal orders as currency, they
are not 10 be redeeuiable only fer three

An Injustice to r. j. Edwards

The Gold Hill News and also legal
organ in this city has done Thomas j.
Edwards a great injustice in charging
him with drawing money from Vir-
ginia bank in order to avoid paying
the taxes on it. The facts Of the case
are that Edwards held the money in
trust as Clerk Of the U. S. Circuit Court.
The money deposited in the bank in
Virginia City was represented in this
county by certificate OF deposit which
was negotiable paper, and according
to law sfolIows the body of the owner"
The money WAS therefore assessed in
Ormsby county by Mr.. Kersey, the
Storey county assessor having no con-
troll over it. 1t was over month after
the assessment that he drew the money
and paid the assessment in due form.
The drawing Of the money made no
difference whatever in the payment of
the taxes, and furthermore, Mr.. Ed
wards only holding the money in trust
would have made nothing if he had
avoided the taxes altogether.
