NOTHING BUT A "NEwsy LIE.
A Little Incident That shows Con.
clusively the Character of
That Sheet.

The Deseret Neus may we'll be calle
granny" There are some things whicl
appear in its sanctified columns, how
ever, that point more Enthusiastically to al
innate desire to misrepresent and maligl
than to condition of imbecile dotage
1t has always been hobby of that organ
to point to every article appearing in the
Gentle papers which reflected in any way
on the Mormon church or people, as ''the
fruits of malicious spirit, bent upon
misrepresentation, etc. but no unbiased
person who watches the shameful and
reckless manner in which the NeaUs has
recently distorted the truth in order to
gain point against "the enemies Of this
people," can fail to acknowledge that the
! toughest stories published by any Salt
Lake paper to the injury of the Mormons
have not surpassed the latest connections
of Elder Penrose's sheet.
One of its most recent efforts in this
direction is daily attempt to brand the
reward offered by Marshal Ireland for

a reward was at the time published. The

the DEMOCRAT Office and published the
next day, the copy bearing the signature
of Marshal Ireland:

MEsSRS. TAYLOR AND MOYLE.
Two Gases of L. G. Disposed of In
Less Than Fifteen Minutes.

Quite number of curious people as
sembled in the Third District Court this
morning in expectation of hearing and
witnessing something interesting, the
proceedings in the Smith case yesterday
having given place to such impressions
They filed out of the court room twenty
minutes afterwards with evident disap-
pointment. The cases against George ID.
! Taylor and James Moyle constituted the
entire work for the consideration OF the
court to-day, and they were both disposed
of in just thirteen minutes, by the
watch. Mr.. Taylor is the senior mem
Der of the old and successful firm
of Taylor, Romney & Armstrong, and
his characteristic good judgment did
what many of his acquaintance expected
it would do-led him to testify himself in
full acknowledgement OF the facts. He
was charged with unlawfully cohabiting
with Elmina Taylor and Louie Taylor,
December l, 1882, and thereafter, and
when placed upon the stand made a
straightforward admission of these state
ments, and the jury found verdict ac-
cordingly.
The same jury acted in the case of
James Moyle, who acted precisely in
the same manner as the former
gentleman and got the same verdict. Mr..
Moyle's Indictment charges him with
having cohabited with Elizabeth Moyle
and Magaret Connell Moyle during a
period dating from January LIST, 1883.
This, together with the fact of both ladies
being his acknowledged wives, the gen.
tleman admitted to the Court as perfectly
true.

and the jurors were all discharged till

THE LEGISLATURE.
The CounciI.

FEBRUARY 12.-2 p. m.-Mr. Grover
from the Committee on Agriculture, re
ported back substitute for H. F. No. SO
to restrain bulls from running at large il
Rich county. One provision OF the
amendments is for other counties to de.
eide by vote if the act shall be applicable
to them.
Mr.. Grover explained that in Wyo-
ming the law provides that bulls shall
not run at large at certain seasons, and
hence Rich county became the pasture
grounds for them during that period, and
if they were driven out of Rich county
they would probably find their way into
Uintah and Wasatch counties, and it was
intended to give these or other counties a
remedy through vote. The bill was
placed on file for second reading, and
ordered printed.
Mr.. Hammond moved that when the
Council adjourn for the day, it be till Up.
m. Monday. Carried.
@. F. No. 20, to provide revenue for
the Territory of Utah and the several
counties thereof, was taken up on its
third reading. The twelfth list OF exemp-
tions named 500 as the amount on
household furniture, wearing apparel,
etc. Mr.. Taylor moved to make the
amount $500.
Mr.. Hammond moved to make the
amount exempt 5000, which was carried.
When about half through the bill, its
further consideration was cut short by a
motion to make it the special order next
Monday.
A message was received from the
House, giving notice of the rejection of
G. F. No. 10, for creating Board of
Mr.. Barton, from the Commit tee on
Conference on G. F. No. Is, to determine
disputed county lines, reported in favor
Of adopting the House amendments. Re-
port adopted. and the bill as amended
was put upon its passage, and unani-
mously passed.
Adjourned till 2 p. M. Monday.

POLICEMAN SMITH GETS THERE.
His own Evidence Sufficient to
Prove Him Guilty of the Charge.


5 The concluding scenes in the trial c
Policeman John Y. Smith yesterda
afternoon afforded as much amusemen
as the earlier proceedings had excite'
disgust and contempt The defense ha,
really presented one unbroken line O
stubborn, impenetrable offsetting or non
convicting testimony, and it was ques
ton with even those who felt certain
that the witnesses had all perjured them
selves as to whether it would be pos
sible for the jury to find a verdict o
guilty, as there certainly appeared to be
little or no evidence justifying such q
conclusion. However, when Mr.. S. III
Lewis was allowed to state what he had
heard IN the Grand Jury room in respect
TO Smiths testimony, the case assumed
a more pronounced complexion.
Mr.. Lewis testified that Smith had re-
quested to be permitted to make state
ment before the Grand Jury last Novem-
Der, and in this statement he had
acknowledged his relations with Annie
Hilton Smith, but avowed that he had
put her away the autumn previous, and
was determined now to observe the Ed
munds law. Mr.. Smith at that time had
evidently intended by his testimony to
create sympathy and obtain leniency, but
since it has been possible to place the
pelygamous wife beyond the reach of the
deputies, he had concluded to make
bold and desperate stand for establishing
ITn WI i,,Ix
mony of the witnesses tended to his
material aid in this.
L. F. Smith, the deputy, testified to
having found the defendant in the house
with Annie Hilton when the subpoena
was served on the latter last fall.
With the intention of rebutting the
testimony Of Mr.. Lewis regarding the
proceedings in the Grand Jury room,
Policeman Smith himself took the wit
ness stand-a thing which his attorneys
would not have permitted on any account
had they suspected the Court would allow
the prosecution to cross-examine the de-
fendant so numerically. Smith denied,
OF course, having made the admission
alleged by Mr.. Lewis, and was turned
over to the prosecuting attorney, whom
the Court sustained in all the points dis
puted respecting the right to 60 beyond
the usual limits in the cross-examination.
The willy prosecutor first got Smith to |
deny that he had lived with Annie Hill
ton during the period mentioned in the |
Indictment, and then by a series OF in
geniously arranged questions succeeded
in worrying from the defendant that he
had within the past month contemplated
pleading guilty to the Indictment. This
placed him SO completely in the power of
Mr.. Dickson that the latter proceeded to
eliminate the wild embarrassment of the
witness by alternately taking him back
% one position and then the other, like
eading disobedient child to his merited
After recalling John Y.

The Lead Market.

Lead has been trifle higher in the
West this week. and the prediction that
the depression would prove to be only a
temporary lull has come true. At the
East the demand is still sluggish, owing
to liberal supplies of Richmond lead ar.
irving by steam and sail and going into
consumption, and the sales there have
been insignificant, at $4.55@$4.62%,
while st. Louis has shown greater anima-
ton and disposed of nearly one thousand
tons at $4.35 for common and $40 for
corroding, and Chicago shows 500 tons
sold at $40. The Spanish leads are
offered at $40, at New York, duty paid,
and there is every outlook for the neces-
slty of importation to fill the seaboard
demand, Or a part of it at least, this year.

Running Successfully.

The Wiswell mill of the Idaho Mining
Company is running day and night,
crushing nine tons OF ore per day. The
vein is looking fine, being from eight to
fourteen feet in width, and three men get
out the ore for the mill. The company
will put in at least two more mills as soon
as they can be taken over the road.
which will be in about two months.
Superintendent Rorem says the company
is making success of its operations, and
hopes before the close of the year to have
machinery for crushing from sixty to
eighty tons of ore per day-Inter-Ida

Face Your Troubles.

III have ploughed around a rock
In one OF my fields for five years."
said a farmer, "and / had broken a
moving machine knife against it,
besides losing the use ofthe ground
in which it lay, all because I Thought
it was such large rock that it
would take too much time and la-
Dor to remove it. But to-day,when
Ibegan t0|plough torc orn,I Thought
that By AND by I might break my
cultivator against that rock; so
took a crow-bar intending to poke
around it and find out its size once
for all. And it was one of the sur.
prlses Of my life to find that it WAS
"a little more than two feet long.
1t was standing on its edge, and SD
light that | could lift it into the
wagon without help"
''Tbe first time you really faced
your trouble you conquered it,"
replied aloud, but continued to Ell.
large upon the subject all to my.
self, for 1 do believe that before we
pray, or, better, while we pray, we
should look our troubles square in
the face.
Imagiue the farmer ploughing
around that rock for five years,
praying all the while, 20 Lord, re.
move that rock!n when he didn't
know whether it was a big rock or
little flat stoneg
We SILVER and shake and shrink,
and sometimes do not dare to pray
about a trouble because it makes
it seem so real, not even knowing
what we wish the Lord to do about
it, when, if We would face the trou-
BILE and call it By its name, one half
of its terror would be gone.
The trouble that lies down with
US at night and confronts US on
first waking in the morning is not
the trouble that we have faced, but
the trouble whose proportion we dc
not know.
