Mention was made in yesterdays
HERALD that rumor was atioat that II
negro men was shot on the San Jacinto
street car line while returning from the
Emancipation celebration held ut
Shady View Park. Nothing deii-
mite could be learned owing TO
the latencss of the hour,
but the report proved correct. AS
Il ear on the line pulled up ut
the downtown terminus, corner Main
and Austin streets, about 2:3O o'clock the
sharp report of pistol broke the still
ness of the night, followed by the cries
of II man. Detective Frisby. who was
sitting in front of the Windsor, rushed
across to the car which was filled with
darkies and standing up" the entire
crowd proceeded to search for the owner
of handsome b improved Colts pistol,
but he failed to find the owner. No one
one would layany claim to it however,
and he turned his sympathy and atten-
ton to the wounded man, who proved to
be Wash Owens, colored, he was shot i'll
the calf of the right leg, just below the
knee, the ball lodging in the calfoft the leg,
He had not the remotest idea who shot
him. Henry Jackson and Oscar White,
both colored, were playing at the time
the the pistol went off, but both denied
being the owner of the deadly weapon.
1t is the supposition that the pistol be-
longed to Givens and that it fell out OF
his pocket and was discharged with the
result as stated. The wound is serious
though not dangerous.

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, June 0.-Tho
Mormon press and prominent Mormons
consider the House bill just passed by
revolutionary and unconstitutional, and
designed to rckinllo the fires of pcrsc-

think, will not stand the test of judi

formed with the design To destroy the
Mormon religion. They assert that cir

cnactmcnts, and that the existing public
opinion, which prompted the Senators Ia
vote for this measure, has been created
hv the persistent circulation of false re-
ports concerning affairs here.
