TACKLED THE WRONG MAN.
Mormon Maiden Leaves Her
Home and Won't go Back
The DenOuemcnt,

The denouement Of little domestic
tragedy which has been going on for
some time past occurred on the State
Road last evening at a point between
this city and the Penitentiary cross-road.
From what can be cleaned of the al
lair, it appears that the heroine is the
daughter OF u well-to-do Saint who
lives but few miles south OF
the city. A short time ago the old
man took it into his head
that he must get policy to insure his
salvation in the world to come and so de-
cided to get it in the usual way-by TAX
ing another wife. His daughter, WHO'S a
bright young girl, educated at the Deseret
University, and possessed of more than
an ordinary amount of common sense,
strenuously objected to the new mother
and told the old man that il he married
again she would leave the house. The
old jay went about his business, in the
meantime sending good elder around to
talk to his hayward daughter, and in a
short time he was living in the enjoy
ment OF his second honeymoon. The
girl kept her word and on the night OF the
wedding she left home.
IltT IDbTtllIS WtIG NOlllCu ONCl
her departure, and all their efforts to dis
cover her whereabouts were vain In the
meantime she had been living quietly at
the home OF friendly Gentle about two
miles from her fathers house. Her pa
rents had not seen her from the night
she left until last night and the meeting
resulted bad for the old man.
The girl was in wagon with her
benefactor and his wife on their
way to their home, when they
met, the girls father coming toward the
city in his wagon, accompanied by his
new wife. Both the drivers drew up their
horses, and the old fellow Immediately
began to apply some choice anathemas
to the girls protector, and among other
things he accused him OF running the girl
and stealing her from her home. At last
the old fellows cuss words gave out and
in his rage he grabbed his whip and tried
to lash the other man about the face.
The latter was to quick for him, however
and in an instant he had returned the
compliment with better success.
The two scrambled to the ground and
the Gentle administered a severe casti-
CATION to the polygamous Saint. The
affair will be kept as quiet as possible by
the parties, and as no complaints have
yet been sworn out, it is not likely that
any arrests will be made.

BUSINESS AND MINING NOTES.
Comstocks-Figures Taik-The Mac-
kRy-Bennett Gable - senator
Jones, of Nevada-Wappy
Dan Harrington.

The Evening Chronicle, OF Virginia
City, publishes the financial balances
and cash on hand OF various mining
companies on the Comstock lode on De-
cember list. The Con. Cal. & Va, on
which the present speculative movement
in stocks is based, has cash on hand,
$45,8l2 Unsold bullion, the assay value
OF which is $237, OLA. To this will be
added two shipments made subsequent
to December LIST, valued at nearly $ll5,-
600, swelling the balance OF bullion on
hand to a total of $400,S27. From this
must be deducted portion OF the No
vember operating expenses. The ChrOn-
icle says that the company can make a
dividend of $3.50 per share. These
figures tell rather than the fluctuations
OF the stock board, and show quite
plainly that the holders OF shares in this
company may rely upon continuous divi-
dends.
The opposition line to the Western
Union Telegraph Company, controlled
by Mackay and Bennett is pushing its
wires from the Canadian Pacific through
Oregon and California to San Francisco
and will shortly lay the three miles OF
cable which will connect Oakland with
San Francisco. In the competition to
ensue between the two great rival tele
graphic lines, business and newspaper
men will be benefited
Mr.. Hamilton, formerly OF the Salt
Lake Tribune, but at present managing
editor and principal proprietor OF the
Portland NeivS, will now get even with
the Oregonian, which held the monopoly
OF the Associated News dispatches for
Portland and like the tabled dog
in a manger refused to share it
with the News. Mr.. Hamiltons Salt
Lake friends congratulate him on his
good fortune.
1t is reported that Senator Jones, oil
Nevada, has made fortune by the rise
OF stocks. He bought large block OF
Con-, Cal and Va. at the two and three
dollar rates, and the sudden enormous
rise brings him in connection with other
fortunate investments to his old position
rs a bloated millionaire.
Dan Harrington, an old Comstocker,
but now resident OF HALEY is one OF the
lucky ones by the raise in stocks lie
has for years held big block OF Con.
Cal. 4 Va. stock and also in other claims
around and about Virginia. He has until
recently considered these stocks worth
less, but yesterdays quotations aroused
him, and to-day he departed for San
Francisco for the purpose of unloading.
AT to-day's prices he could clean up Il
cool 800 900 -Iater-IddhO.

FIRST DISTRICT COURT.
Things In General In and About
the Junction city.

In the First District Court on Thursday
there was not much OF general interest
done. The Ferrin case was dismissed
The case OF The People VS.. McDermot
Charged with having cheated James
Horrocks out OF 5000 came up. The
chief prosecuting witness, Horrocks, was
in condition Of what little boy who
goes to school calls non compOS mentis,
and the Judge had him turned over to
the tender mercies OF the Marshal till he
would be in a condition to appear with
out inhicting contempt on the Court.
Recess was taken amid universal hilarity.

IN CRIMINAL CIRCLES.
Four Drunks and Fight Before Judge
Piper for Punishment.
The Cops Try to Cock Up "A Split BE-
tween Damon and Pythias,
But Fail.
The Simple Statements OF the Two
Elbridge Tufts on the Charge of
Allowing Gambling.

To-day was rustler in Judge Pyper's
court and the deserted appearance OF the
favorite loating corners is accounted Tor
by the packed appearance OF the Police
Court auditorium.
The first matters taken up were the
drunks of yesterday and the sprees OF
last night James Sherwood was the
first OF these, and he entered the court
full OF pentence and ready to be re-bap-
tized for the remission Of his sins lie

William Morgan had also been drunk,
and no one was better aware OF the fact
than William Morgan himself. Anyone,
except Morgan, who was too blind
to observe anything, could see at
glance that in his GrmCo-Roman
wrestle with whskey, the latter had
grabbed him below the belt and downed
him on foul. He admitted the fall but
protested against the foul, and was also
asked for $5
Mike Mccarthy and James Johnson,
who had been raked in to complete the
uuartette of DRINKS, left IS each for their
however to appear, and the city increased
its sinking fund by $40.
FRIENDLY FIGHT.
Charles Anderson and John Heberg,
a girlish young Swedishman, and his
stronger partner, were arrested shortly
after o'clock this morning on the charge
offghting; but it appears that the Jealous
cops had arrested the beaten and let the
heaters 90. Their efforts, therefore, to
make out case against the youths was
like trying to drive nail between Damon
and Pythias, and proved to be utterly
vain.
Anderson said that he and his friend
were walking down the street together,
and when they reached the Old Elephant
Corner, a tramp came up to his "pard''
and asked him for a match. AS
Heberg seemed to be stopping
too long, witness told him to
hurry up and finally took hold OF his
shoulder to hurry him away. The tramp
took this as an insult and
Immediately drove his fist against
the face of the witness. a
general scramble ensued and Ander'
son emerged from it with a scratched face
and Heberg came out badly frightened
lleDerg tellS SUBSTANTIALLY lne saine
story, and adds that he was so frightened
that his hat flew off. When asked if he
did any hitting, he replied innocently,
mo, wouldn't hit any one; | cant
fight" His statement like that
OF his partner was so simple that the
Court was obliged to believe it, and the
two were therefore discharged.
THE TUFTS CASE.
The case against Elbridge Tufts, charged
with allowing gambling in his house, was
next taken up. The defendant was ar
raigned and pleaded not guilty, and the
trial was commenced too late for to-day'S
issue. Tufts states that he feels sure OF
getting off, and that they will have {
rich time convicting him.

Shocking Stories Told by One In

Girls Who Have No Idea of Staying
ut HOme-FrOm FrlyOlity to
Sin-The Penalty.

A subject OF much greater importance
to the welfare OF the city than Sunday
liquor selling and all the other Police
Court crimes put together, is the Igreat
question "What shall we do with our
girs?" The stubbornness OF parents in
refusing to regulate the habits OF their
darlings is a subject OF regret and forces
the conclusion, that not only should a
stringent curfew law be enforced, but, if
possible, something shonld be done to
regulate the daylight promenades OF the
city's daughters.
People obliged TO be on the street
great deal become so accustomed to see
ing the faces OF certain females dozen
times day that they become like land
marks, only conspicuous when absent
and as the object of these girls seems to
be to make themselves conspicuous they
ought to adopt the plan OF staying at
home. This daily and nightly parade OF
the fair ones
Is NOT HARMLESS,
As is quite generally supposed for in
seven cases out OF ten it grows from
frivoity to sin and the end is always
more or less tragic. When the full ex-
tent OF this fault is realized, one can al
most agree with the Mormon father who
goes to the extreme OF not allowing his
daughters to dance at any party, no mat
ter how select. But all the harm that
could possibly result from dancing, does
not compare with that which inevitably
comes from the habit Of walking
the streets; and yet the very fathers who
protest so strenuously against round
dancing, give no thought to the fact that
their daughters are seen on the street
half dozen hours during the day and
often after nightfall. Girls OF tender age
get into the habit OF being on the street,
and, strange to say, they never get out
Of out of it with their more mature sense.
A gentleman who is in position to
know, told reporter of the DEMOCRAT
this morning that he knew as an actual
fact that over half the girls who parade
our streets at night have fallen within
the past year. Many of them are OF re-
spectacle parentage, and most OF them
would scarce he suspected even OF impro-
priety.
Our informant states that many cases
have come to his notice OF late and I'M
less something is done to stop it, the
next few months will bring forth revela-
ton which will stand fair show at the
side of the Pal Nal Gazette sensation.

FEARFUL FALL.
GeOrge Foster, of ogden, PIunges
Down Twenty-Five Feet.

While dance was going on, in the
night from Wednesday to Thursday, in
Woodmansee's Hall, east side OF Main
street, two young men stepped out on to
the rear platform, rotten lumber struct-
ure. Leaning against the railing on the
north side, one George Foster missed his
hold and fell down distance OF about
twenty-five feet, into the depths OF u rock
stairway, where he left marks OF blood.
He escaped with his osseous frame I'M
hurt, only his head and left shoulder
being bruised. DR.. O. B. Adams thinks
that there is no fear to be entertained as
to fatal results, the greatest danger rest
ing in the possibility OF mental derange-
ment ensuing from the severe conclusion
of the brain.
