The Mormon postmaster at Brigham City

NJ. h. Murray, one of the defendants in
the suit brought by George @. Staley, states
that the origin of the affair was not his
suing for bar bill of $50, as stated in the
DEMOCRAT some days ago. The money that
Mr.. Murray was trying to recover was S75
which he had loaned Staley and although
the latter owed the former large bill for
drinks, Murray says that he made no at
tempt to collect it, rs he knew il would be
useless.

tenth Infantry, stationed at Fort Russell,

said Colonel Henry to Bee reporter, that
the Department of the Platte would take
higher rank in the matter of firing than any
other department in America, if we could
leave out Fort Du Quesne. This is post
which has been but recently organized, and
the soldiers had no time for practice BY q
recent order the average of this post will
have to be counted and it will probably
lower our record"
The Church papers pretend to be greatly
elated over the conviction of Hawthorne,
Gentle, for the crime, of polygamy, but the
truth is they are greatly disappointed with
the outcome of the case. Had Hawthorne
been acquitted the matter would have
furnished resin for the bows of both the
Mormon tiddles during the whole winter.
Inc Instruments are becoming squeaky and
unless they find something new to grind on

in showing that he cared nothing for a
mans religion in his efforts to carry out the
provisions of the Edmunds law.
