The city editor of the Herald has brother

the family, after all.

day allowed until January LIST, 1887, to file

The Grand Jury found but one indictment

over to the next jury there is little doubt
that John Q. Cannon is the victim.

Thursday, December 9th, at the Walker

still fresh in the minds of our readers and it
will be unnecessary to state that this one
will be up to the usual high standard.
The DEMOCRAT received to-day pleasant
call from Charles Melville, business manager

troupe will appear here on Friday evening of
next week in "Mam'zelle," and on Saturday
afternoon in "Divorcons." Only these two
performances will be given, as the company

"The early bird catches the worm" Well,
30 does the early squaw. We've seen her, at
the hour when the gray of dawn pales the
stars, prowling around the streets picking
up bits of frozen grub for the family, while
her staunch and steadfast buck, neglecting
his morning duties of lighting the fire in the
parlor stove and busting off the piano, re-
poses on his couch of down. Our admira-
tion of the early squaw is more than sincere
its intense.-Pioche Record.
The jury in the case of Reddon vs.. the U.
p. Railway Company, returned into court
yesterday afternoon and reported that they
had found verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $4,000. The amount sued for was
1885, 900, and it is said that many of the
jurors were in favor of giving the full
amount, some wanted to give still more,
and some voted for less than $4,000. If
the matter is allowed to rest here, Reddon
will have enough to live upon comfortably
for the rest of his life.
The water in the new mains won't run
past certain point on D street, and all wise
heads are trying to guess the trouble. The
DEMOCRAT suggests as probable solution,
that while the pipes were being laid some
underground Saint might have crawled into
one of them to spend the night and, forget
ting to get out early enough in the morning
was sealed in by the workmen. The large
ness of George Q. Cannon's form knocks
the stuffing out of what would be very
pleasant thought in this connection,
suit for 50. 400 damages, brought by the
Utah Central Railway Company against the
Central Pacific Company, is on trial in the
Third District Court to-day. 1t seems That
in May, 1888, a car of hides was destroyed
g. people claim that the hides had been
delivered to the G. p, and therefore ask that
that company be made to pay for
them. The O. Il. on the other hand
claims that the mere showing of the car onto
their track did not make them responsible,
and they, therefore, don't want to pay the
damages. Marshal & Royle represent the
@. p, and lie Grand Young appears for the
U.C.
The Trombone reporter thinks that the
yoke of imprisonment gals upon Brig
Hampton's neck because lie heard the one
lunged captive indulging in some select
anathemas against the Government officials
It's just like the innocent scribe to bite at Il
thing CT that kind, when any sober man
could see in a moment that Brig is playing
big bluff game. Hampton always swears
when there is a Gentle around, because he
don't want to give his jailor away, but he
whistles different tune to the brethren.
Those who understand what a really soft
snap Brigham has, and who know that he is
no more a prisoner than is his jailor, can
fully appreciate the yoke of imprison-
ment" gag.
