Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1886-09-10

The fight between LANCE and Slattery
takes place at the Walker Opera House to-
morrow night.
There seems to be quite a general rush OF
late for the underground. Several cohabs.
Of more or less prominence have disappeared
suddenly, and the conclusion is that they
have taken the popular route. The fact
that Marshal Dyer is doing his straight
duty, probably has something to do with the
exodus.
Johu Waters cOhab., of Springyille, Utah
county, was brought up from the south last
evening by Deputies Gleason and Smith
and taken, together with all available wit
nesses, INTO the trying presence of Judge
Mckay. After q vigorous all-round exam
nation, the Judge decided TO bind the de-
PENDANT over and he was therefore released
upon a bond of $1,000, signed by Hyrum
Groesbeck and Judge Dusenberry.
George Q. Cannon, in the DeSeret Ne,cS of
last evening. speaking in reference to the
statement of that sheet to the effect that he
himself had paidhis bonds, denies the as
sertion in the following terms: This state
ment is not correct. and leaves false i'm
preston. At the instance of some friends,
this money was advanced and paid to my
sureties, that they might be relieved from
all embarrassment and not suffer for their
generous action in my behalf
The fact that Mr.. Beck has succeeded in
getting his immense bond fixed up and ac-
cepted is being generally commented upon
to-day, and in every quarter the matter is a
subject for qualification. Mr.. Beck has
shown by his past course that he is a public
spirited man, and his efforts have certainly
been appreciated by Mormon, Jew and Gen
tile. The fact that the matter was fixed up
without going out of the Territory for sure

misfortunes, is a high compliment to Mr..
Beck, and is one of the best proofs possible
of the fact that he will soon again stand
among the solid financeers of Utah.
When Evan Stevens, the Mormon night
ingale, was boy his schoolmates used to
call him names, pick quarrels with him and
abuse him in every way. One day when the
smallest boy in school had BACKED Evan s
right eye and skinned his ear for music, he
determined he would bide his time and yet
be avenged. So he went quietly on and
stood their abuse like true martyr. But
at last the pentup anger of years, the
wounded pride and injured honor have burst
forth like thunderbolt and struck the per-
secutors of Evans yOuthtide with a force
terrible to contemplate. Evan has written
song and dedicated it to these same ''old
schoolmates."
A fire occurred in the new Spanish cigar
store in the Kimball Block, First South
street, at about 8 o'clock last evening.
Some boys who were playing in the store
knocked over a coal oil lamp, which exploded
and set fire to the floor. The alarm was
given, and in the meantime the counter was
carried out onto the pavement. In the ex-
element the proprietor forgot to watch the
goods and money in drawers of the counter,
and when the fire was over he found them
missing. The fire department, by some mis-
take, arrived before the flames were extin-
guished, and for once in its history did a
little good work. 1t was a very narrow
escape for the whole of the surrounding
property.
The rush fer seats at the Theatre box
office this morning for the Palmer engage
ment was phenomenal. Hours before the
appointed time for opening men and boys
crowded about the window trying to get q
first chance at the seats, and when 10 o clock
arrived there was double line extending
the full length of the vestibule, with heavy
reinforcements on either side. Sad eyed
youths, thinking over the idea of asking
their girls to sit on the orchestra railing or
on an inverted kettle drum, were hanging
around the steps with an expression which
plainly told that they were tired of life.
The first man at the window took all the
best seats and the next took the greater
part of the remainder. Someone is going to
get left.
