John Waters cohab., of Springyille, Utah
county, was brought up from the south last
evening by Deputies Gleason and Smith,
and taken, together with all available wit
nesses, into the trying presence of Judge
Mckay, After II vigorous all-round exam
nation, the Judge decided to bind the de-
PENDANT over, and he was therefore released
upon bond of $1,000 signed by Hyrum
Groesbeck and Judge Dusenberry.
George O. Cannon, in the Deseret NeUs of
last evening, speaking in reference to the
statement of that sheet to the effect that he
himself had paidhis bonds, denies the as
sertion in the following terms: "This state
ment is not correct, and leaves false inn
preston. At the instance of some friends,
this money was advanced and paid to my
sureties, that they might be relieved from
all embarrassment and not suffer for their
generous action in my behalf"
The fact that Mr. Beck has succeeded in
getting his immense bond fixed up and &C
cepted is being generally commented upon
to-day, and in every quarter the matter is q
subject for qualification. Mr. Beck has
shown by his past course that he is public
spirited man, and his efforts have certainly
been appreciated by Mormon, jew and Gen
tile. Tine fact that the matter was fixed up
without going out of the Territory for sure
ties, and that in the face of the gentleman's
misfortunes, is high compliment to MIR.

When Evan Stevens, the Mormon night
ingale, was boy his Schoolmates used to
call him names, pick quarrels with him and
abuse him in every way. One day when the
smallest boy in school had blacked Evans
right eye and skinned his ear for music he
determined he would bide his time and yet
be avenged. So he went quietly on and
stood their abuse like Il true martyr. But
at last the pentup anger of years, the
wounded pride and injured honor have burst
forth like thunderbolt and struck the per-
secutors of Evans youthtide with Il force
terrible to contemplate. Evan has written
a song and dedicated il TO these same odd
sohoolmates."

and set fire to the floor. The alarm was
given, and in the meantime the counter was
carried out onto the pavement. In the eX-
citement the proprietor forgot to watch the
goods and money in drawers of the counter,
and when the fire was over he round them

take, arrived before the flames were extin-
guished, and for once in its history did

The rush for seats ut the Theatre box
office this morning for the Palmer engage
ment was phenomenal, Hours before the
appointed time for opening men and boys
crowded about the window trying to get
first chance at the seats, and when 10 O'Clock
arrived there was Il double line extending
the full length of the vestihule, with heavy
reinforcements on either side. Sad eyed
youths, thinking over the idea of asking
their girls to sit on the orchestra railing or
ON an inverted kettle drum, were hanging

The first man at the window took all the
