Yesterday Judge Za-e ordered the case

Wit must necessarily prejudice Gentle jur-

said the Tribune was taken in
all Gentle homes and was
very powerful there. His counsel urged
that whatever Influence the Mormon priests
had over their people, and he admitted that
it was as great as claimed, the paper named
welded as great over the Gentles. The
motion was overruled, also the motion for a
continuance. The court ordered the i'm.
paneling Of new jury. The church organ
