" Nina" Cannon Arrested.

"Mina" Cannon. the polygamous wife
OF Abram 81. Cannon, and daughter of
the sanity Angus, was arrested yesterday
by Captain Greenman. The deputies for
months have searched in vain for the
lady, whose presence at her husbands
trial next week was very much desired.
Nina" is an amiable and ACCOMPLISHED
young lady, who is said to have fallen
rapturously in love with her cousin
Abram years ago, and it was quite gener-
ally understood that but for the already
existing relationship between them she
would have been taken to Abrams
bosom as his first and youthful bride.
When the young man did marry his pres
ent first wife, society gossip had it that
Mlna's' heart was threatening to break
as result of the decree of her father and
George Q. Cannon that cousins shouldn't
wed.
In the autumn of 1879 Abram left some
what hurriedlv on mission to Europe.
ana escaped arrest by hairs breadth,
as by this time it had leaked out that he
had married 'Mina' celestially. Since
his return he has manifested the utmost
discretion in avoiding public display of
his marital relations, but the deputies
have been on his track and have at last
secured the much-sought-after "Mina."
Both OF these young people were highly
esteemed among their society friends, |
and both lost much of that esteem by
their unqualified denials of their peculiar
marital affairs when asked by their most
associates.

JOS. McMURRIN AND W. H. LEE
Both Acknowledge Unlawful CO.
habitation and Have Their
Cases Quickly Settled.

The cases of Joseph McMurrin, father
of the Herald's pet, and w. III. Lee, a
late Tooele county official, both indicted
for unlawful cohabitation, were disposed
of in court last evening with dispatch.
McMurrin's counsel suggested to the
court that it was wholly unnecessary and
certainly very tedious to go through the
monotonous process of examining those
jurors represented by the even numbers,
as they invariably proved incompetent,
and the time thus consumed was thrown
away. The Court, acting upon this sug
gestion, swore in the jury, which had
just sat in the case of S. III. B. Smith,
and verdict of guilty was immedi-
ately rendered; not, however, until
McMurrin, at his own request,
testified to the court that Janette and
Margaret McMurrin had been living with
him in the relationship of husband and
wives during the period named in the in
dictment. The judge set Tuesday, the
23d inst, for the defendant to appear and
receive sentence. The judge experienced
difficulty in restraining Nc
Murrin from delivering fast meeting
grafton, and when forced to take his seat
he seemed thoroughly aware that the OPP
portunity of his life had passed untaken,
for he had come loaded and magnificently
primed to deliver heroic declaration in
the true spirit of martyr.
The case of VIII. Lee was disposed of
IN similar manner, the defendant adj
hitting to the court that the two women
FAMED in the indictment were his wives. |
The judge deferred sentence till the 23d |
nst., as in the former case, and both
parties with their cortege of families left
ne court room feeling that they had
avsd time and a good deal of embarrass-
nent by adopting wise course.

His Honor, Judge Zane, yesterday dis

action is taken under the rule of the
court that cases SO appealed must be
docketed within thirty days after the

instances parties let the time expire
rather than pay the docketing fees. Such
is the condition of the following cases,
many of which are quite aged, but which

posed to be the property of Fanny Day.

secret in the matter; that the trunks
referred to contained clothing and
other property belonging to the
notorious Fanny. She had asked Mr..
Burt on the day following her arrival
from Denver whether he would be kind
enough to receive them when they should

Burglars in the Seventh Ward.

Mr. Harvey Hardy came very nearly
Kidding the town of one of the numerous
thieves who nightly make their raids on
private dwellings. Early this morning
Mrs. Hardy wakened her husband and
told him she had heard a noise in the
house. Mr.. Hardy at once arose and be-
gan search, coming almost instantly on
the burglar, who beat hasty re-
treat. Mr.. Hardy fired a shot at
the fellow as he disappeared, but is
not aware what effect the firing
had on the burglar, as the latter made
good his escape. Something like $l3 had
been taken from Mr.. Hardy's pockets.
and this appeared to be the extent of the
steal. Two of the neighbors' houses, not
lar from Mr.. Hardy's, were also visited
Ia night or during the early hours of
this morning, and it is rezthan likely
that there was an organized gang of
thieves operating in concert.

SILVER REEF MINING MATTERS.
steady Production and Coca Jul.
look for the Sandstone Camp

The Christy company has done re-
markably well during the past montn,
the mill having run regularly without a
break. turning out $23, 554 worth OF silver
bullion.
Johnse Barbee shipped fifteen tons OF
fair-grade ore from the White Reef Bo-
nanza mine to the River mill last week.
Taylor & Lampson and Siedentopf &
Butler shipped over 100 tons OF ore from
the Old Leeds and Bonanza mines on the
White Reef to the Christy mill this week.
The Stormont mill lost ten days last
month by reason of floods in the Virgin
river, and bad roads between the mines
and mill as consequence, but SIS, 900
worth of ore was crushed. During last
week, however, the fine weather so dried
up the roads that fifty tons of ore per day
have been hauled to the mills. The dumps
of the Buckeye, Savage and Thompson
are yet crowded with ore which is OF very
good grade, so that the output OF bullion
during February will, in all probability,
exceed that of any month during the past
year. The main incline on the Buckeye
and Savage is now down 120 feet below
the 600 level. The mines are producing
between thirty-five and forty tons of ore
per day.-Southern Utah Times.

the jury accordingly. A prompt
IerdIct OF guilty was returned, and Mon
lay, the 18th inst, set for the day of

ng from the court as perfectly
