TALL CLASSIFICATION.

The prOdigality in the use Of
falsehOOd and the rigid economy
displayed in the utilization of truth
associated with the Fourth OF July
celebration in this city and the car

probably in unison with the new

He Took Anoth er's Letter.

Today Corporal John Davis, OF
Company b, Fifth Infantry, was
before U. ;. Commissioner Nurrell
on a charge Of taking a letter con-
tanning money from the postofiice,
when he knew the letter did not be-
long to him. He was arrested on
Thursday evening by Deputy Bush,
on a complaint Of Inspector Law
renee, Of Denver. The letter was
addressed 10 John VI. Davis, and vas
sent from Idaho. IL arrived in Salt
Lake about May Ia, and was
taken out by the soldier, who said It
was for him. Some time later il
was discovered that the letter had
gone 70 the wrong person, and n
message was sent 10 Corporal Davis
that if he would avoid trouble ne
had better return the letter and con-
tents. This he did on Thursday,
but not until after papers for his
arrest had been Issued. Today the
testimony against him was taken,
and the case continued till Tues
day, TO allow him 10 put in evidence
for his defense. He was committed
to the yenitentinry IN default Of
500 hail.

He Has Skipped.

The officers are looking for n per-
son named Thomas II. Ollo. but
thus far have only found indications
that lead them to believe he has
left this part Of the country. He is
accused Of having made an attempt
to kill his wife. She has left him
because OF i'll treatment, she says,
and the other night he learned
where she was living. He came to
the place, armed with loaded re-
vOlver, and kicked in the door. She
escaped by n back door. There
were two girls in the room with
her, and these remained after she
had gone. When OllO got into the
room he said he would kill all Of
them and then shoot himself. He
discovered, however, that his wife
was not there, and started out after
her, but was unsuccessful in bis
search.

4 GENTLE REMINDER.

We REMIND the Latter-day Saints
Z Of this city and county that 10.
morrow i the Sabbath, appointed
10y revelation direct to them as a
day Of rest and worship. It is not
designed as 4 time OF amusement
and worldlincss. II is not a day for
excursions, or revelry, or merry
making.
Have the Saints not had enough
amusement for several days without
encroaching upon the Lords day?
They are under special covenant to
keep His commandments and obey
His avs. If they fail in this, they
break their sacred promise. 1t is
dishonorable TO make agreements
and then break them wilfuIly. God
will keep His part Of every cove
nant. Let His people see to it that
they DO not violate theirs.
Sunday should he Observed as a
day Of rest from toll and of divine
worship and devotion. If il is made
4 time OF worldly pleasure 10y Lat
ter-day Saints, 1t is prostituted from
its purpose and this violation Of
divine law Is sure TO bring cOndem-
nation.
We DO not desire to establish any
puritanical Sunday bondage, or re-
strain people from innocent relaxa-
ton. We only wish to remind peo-
pie who are under solemn obligations
to do right that sabbath breaking
is a sin, and 4 violation OF agree
ment, which will render them /
liable to divine displeasure and to |
self-coutempt.
'.Remember the Sabbath day to /
keep it holy is as binding today
Of new revelation and COM
as when it was thun-
iered with swfal voice from the
OF Mount Sinai.

tons by the Sunday school OF

The exercises Of the various
schools and the observations Of
Elder Joseph Jensen and Second
Assistant Stake Superintendent II.

Why the Indians Came Not.

The reason i that the committee
could not induce them 10 come.
Negotiations were made, hut they
amounted TO nothing. The commit
tee knew this, hut made no an
nouncement Of the fact 10 the pub
lie, many Of whom were deceived
by believing the announce
ment on the bills and in
some Of the newspapers, and
assembled b witness the much
advertised parade Of the abOrigines
on July 3. At Washington Square,
too, on Thursday evening, hosts Of
people assembled 10 see the promised
Indians, but were OF course disap-
pointed. big Nose, - 4 well known
red man, was on the Square, and
constituted the entire CavalCade.
Seeing the vast crowds awaiting the
arrival 81 his brethren he addressed
group about as follows: "What
for you wait? You 90 wick-e-up. II.
jun ne Il come. Ar-a-same he no
rike um white man. White man he
talk heap too much. He heap too
much blow. Injun he no come.
Ugh!''
On the subject OF the Indians the

ISIUN No LIKE 'ENI DUDES
Through the efforts OF men like II.
w. Smith and w. y. Shilling. OF
this city, in an extensive cores
pOndenCe with the Interior Depart-
ment at Washington, consent was
obtained for the ShOshOne Indians
20 come 10 Ogden during the Carni-
val and participate in the exhibition.
Scarcely had the contract beeu
closed when Salt Lake sent oil a
delegation Of citizens post haste To
undermine the arrangement and in
duce the Indians to go 10 Salt Lake.
Reckoning without their host, as
usual, some Of the Salt Lake papers
went so far as 10 advertise the In
dians rs Especial boom attraction for
OF July. That the In,iians
in question cut prominent figure
last night ut the Carnival, and are
in Ogden this morning TO appear in I

PLANTATION as TO the success Of the |
salt Lake visitantS. Apropos Of |
this piece Of vain imrertinence, an
anecdote comes 10 US Of Chief Pora- Z
tello which is worth telling. When
asked why he did not 20 TO Salt |
Lake instead Of Ogden, he an
swered, "Ugh, ugh, Salt Lake send |

And 50 the Indians did not go.

matter OF course, have been attended
with uproarious absurdity. rs a

ACQUITTED on A TECNICALITY.

ON the morning Of July End, at
Denver, two convicted murderers,
James J. Medley and James II.
Savage, We're set at liberty on a
technicality. There is no probability
that they will suffer the penalty Of
the law for their crimes.
According TO the Denver Ne,rs
Medley was charged with murder
ing his wife, and was tried and
found guilty Of murder in the first
degree ami sentenced to be hanged.
Savage, who is a colored man, was
accused Of numbering another
colored man, and was also sentenced
10 be hanged. Their counsel,
Robert w. Bonynge, however, ap-
appealed their cases 10 the
United States Supreme Court,
and both their sentences were
reversed on account Of a
flaw in the law. On this decision
they were released from custody,
but were again arrested Immediately
after and committed to Jail to await
trial. Recently Mr.. Bonynge made
a motion tor their discharge on the
ground thst rs they had once been
tried for their crimes they could not
be- tried for them the second time.

who opposed this motion, argued
thatso long As they were not placed
in jeopardy by their first trial, moth
ing could prevent them being tried
again.
He claimed they had not been
rlacnt III jeopardy at their first trial
Is they were tried for murder in the
first degree, whereas they should
have been tried for murder in
lesser degree. Counsel for the pris-
oners held that they had been placed
in jeopardy by their trials, AMI
Judge Rising evidently concurred
with him, for he decided the motion
yesterday in favor of the prisoners.
In discharginc them he also re-
ferred to Judge Aliens decision that
the original sentence u these men
still held good. But whether it
does or not no attempt was made to
arrest them after they left the court
room. Both looked very sober
when they entered the room to hear
the judges decision. When they
found they were free their joy knew
no bounds. They restrained them
selves, however, until they got out
side the courtroom. Then with
tears running down their cheeks
they grasped the lawyers hand and
almost wrung it off his arm. He
them TO the street, and
after handing each a sum Of money
and 4 railroad ticket, told them TO
get out Of the State rs soon as posi-
bic. They lost no time in following
his advice.
