The Dcadwood Pioneer says: The
Salt Lake Herald predicts that if the
Edmunds bill becomes law the peo
pie against whom its action is directed
will not be its only victims. This is
not at all surprising It could not be
expected that an evil so vast and deer
rooted as polygamy can be extirpated
without causing injury to some who
are not responsible for its existence
This, however, offers no argument il
support of polygamy. Because this
loathsome moral cancer has been per
mitted to burrow So deeply into the
social life of Utah that Its remova
will injure interests associated witt
those of polygamists, it certainl,
should not be urged that the evil shouI(
be permitted to exist.

An Unhappy Family.

There died in Delaware County
Pennsylvania, enc day last week, a
prosperous and generally esteemed
farmer, nearly 100 years of age, who fol
forty years had never spoken word tc
his wife nor had she to him, nor had
any one of their five children, of whom
three, with their mother, are still living
spoken a word to any other member Of
the family. And yet they all lived
peacefully under one roof and we're In
full possession OF their faculties.
Forty years ago, it is said, the wife
was bequeathed small sum of money
bv q relative, which her husband de-
sired to use In purchasing farming i'm
plements and otherwise improving the
property. She said nc. He vowed
that unless he was given the money hi
would never speak another word to her
This vow he steadfastly kept to the
end of his life. The three daughters
then quite young, at first tried to re-
concile their parents, but failed. Ther
one sided with the father, another with
the mother, and the third became dis
heartened at the whtoe job. SO they
quarrellei, the two sons died, and new
or again word was spoken in thu
household, save to visitors. The deatE
of the husband and faSher has made nj
change in the situation, and the survi
vors move about the house as If utterly

and others in the place, and threw the
chairs and other moveables around in
dangerous manner. Capt. Shaw sent
for the police, and Sergeant SoVa and
Officer White went to the place.
When they got there they found one
of the oolored men engaged in fight
with the bartender on the corner OF
Sixth and Market streets, but when ne
saw the officer approaching he started
on a run down Sixth street toward
King.
The officers hurried after him, and
Sergeant Sova endeavored to frighten
him by firing his pistol in the air. 1t
did not have any effect on the fugitive
only to make him run the faster.
The man was finally overtaken In
Walnut street between Eighth and
Ninth, but as soon as the officers came
within reach he struck Officer
White with club which he
had in his hand. The blow was struck
with force sufficient to break the club,
and he then attacked Sergeant Sova
with stick. Before the officers had re-
covered enough from the assault to
seize him, he made his way into. toe

Mr.. Dickson, foreman of the Star

ed long statement to the Associated

formed him that he had been ap-
preached early in the trial by lawyer
named Falls, who represented himself
as authorized to act by the Attorney
General, and who attempted to "fx"
Holmead, but was spurned by the lat

self WAS corruptly approached by Henry

if he would convict one of tha defen-
dants. Bowen exhibited to Dickson a
letter OF appointment of the former as
special agent of the department OF

Judge that jurymen had been ap-
preached. An Associated Press des
