Gong Wing, the Chinaman found murdered

Kate Fold says she is tired of the world

ionable hustle" Then take it off, Kate,
and give it to the editor of the Salt Lake
Trombone.
The preliminary examination of Angus M.
Cannon will be held before Judge Mckay on
Monday morning at 10 o'clock that is, pro-
vided Angus doesn't follow in the foot
steps of Elder Roberts.
In speaking of General Terry's visit to the
cty, the NetUs says: "We are not informed
as to the length of the gentleman's stay"
Well, we'll, what an oversight on the part of
the General. He should keep his friends
better posted.
Salt Lake can produce, according to the
testimony of b. Y, the greatest and smooth
est liars in existence. Judging by the recent
stealing of the plated spoons and ware be-
longing to the Ladies' Relief Corps of the g..
A. r., at their hall in this city, the meanest
and most contemplate thieves in the world
are located here.
The ship Lord Wolseley is discharging
coke at the Oakland, California, wharves
for the smeters of Salt Lake. Portland
should certainly compete with that city in
the reduction of metals when she has the
coke at her own doors and the ore within
easy hauling distance.-POrtldnd NelCS.
Yes, Portland should compete wi tn us, but
she can't, you know.
William Boden was tried in the Police
Court to-day on the charge of vagrancy,
after having entered plea of not guilty.
The evidence against him was too strong
and the Court pronounced him guilty and
sentenced him to sixty days imprisonment
in the County Jail. Such punishment as
this will tend to make tramps steer shy of
Salt Lake. Keep it up,
A couple of Saints were discussing tho
other day the price of provisions. One of
them remarked that he got his potatoes for
twenty-five cents per bushel, while the other
declared that he gave fifty for his. "Where
do you get yours ~ inquired the latter. cat
the tithing house," replied the former. $50
do | said number two, "and am charged fifty
cents per bushel.' $50 am l." responded
number one, "but buy my orders for fifty
cents on the dollar, SO you see my spuds only
cost me twenty-five cents per bushel."
1t is now rumored that Brigham II. Rob-
erts was recently appointed an apostle of
the Church. If this is the case, the reason
for keeping it quiet was, of course, to keep
the law off his track. Being an apostle and
monogamist at the same time is an incon-
sistency which would tend to throw shade
of doubt upon the marital relations of at
least enc other of the ''rwelve.' If Roberts
is not an apostle, it is certain that he would
like to be one, and his latest dishonest freak
will go long way in his campaign for the
position.
The hero of the following squib, taken
from the Pueblo Chicftain, is said to be q
commercial man vel. known in this city:
afternoon from the south Ell route to Den
yer, and owing to the fact that the train was
rot due for two hours, they went around
town to spend their hours of waiting. On
their departure, we presume the young man
was somewhat eXcited-at least he OK
changed his wife's grip for that of a we'll
known st. Joe travelling man. 1t is needless
to say that like all of his class, the travelling
man is very modest, and when he went to
retire and opened up the grip in his posses
sion, he was dumbfounded to see n lot of
female forgery roll out on the floor. His
nerves were so affected that he was unable
to sleep during the night"
