TIE Mormon protest has been presented
and the Mormon delegation has been re

plural-wife people are case-hardcned fools
they must have realized that there is TO
comfort for them to be drawn from the
White House. Mormon polygamy is on
It's last legs, and the protest of its votaries
is but the despairing vail of the criminal

ragged sentiment of decency and the law

THE compliments showered upon Sacra-
mento during last and the present week by
the press of the State; the tones in which
the praises of this city are sung by the
journals of the State, are too general, too
earnest and too thoughtful TO raise even
the shadow of doubt concerning their
sincerity and heartfulness. To reproduce
the press notices is quite out of the ques-
ton; they are numerous, long and exceed
ingly fiattcring. 1t must suffice the reader
to know that Sacramento has won golden
opinions abroad

Breast-Widely Different Statements.

About o'clock yesterday afternoon Thomas
Stanton, white, fourteen years of age, while

colored youth, seventeen years OF
age. Barbour ran out of the house of Mr.. Davis,
the woman whom Henry Patton, colored, mar
ried. and told Stanton to stop and sit down, or
he would shoot the feet off him. Stanton re-
fused, when Barbour raised revolver he had in
his hand and started for Stanton, who
ran around the wheelbarrow several times.
Barbour followed him, shouting: "Stop or /
will shoot" The colored boy finally ran
in front of Stanton, and fred the revolver, send
ing a 32-calibre shot into the boys left breast,
very near the heart Stanton fell, and his father,
working in the tile works near by, hearing the
shot, was among the first to come to the assist
ance of his son. He was carried to his home,
not far away, where DR.. Hodges came in
answer to call for his services.
He says the wound is very dangerous, although
there is chance for the boys life. The shoot
ing, as above described, was Stanton tells it,

he had no difficulty with Stanton, and that the
story told by the latter is not true
