Show TERRITORIAL TALK. Lead is still worth $65 a ton. The junction city is afflicted with sparring matches. An athletic club is to be organized in the capital city. The pigeon shooters of Salt Lake and Ogden are soon to have a test of skill. The Ogden Iron Works, under a new name, are now coming into prominence. Ogden has had a first-class case of counterfeiting. The man accused of shoving the queer is known as Geo. [George] Craighead and now under arrest. Last week a drunken brawl occurred at Stockton between Thomas Cosgrove and John Shean. The latter was stabbed twice, but is likely to recover. There is a perfect newspaper war between some of the journals of this Territory, on the subject of our Governor Emery's re-appointment, and attendant topics. The Utah Rod and Gun Club have conceived the idea which they hope soon to put into practice, of using blackbirds instead of pigeons in their shooting matches. Near Mill Creek, in Salt Lake County, recently an old gentleman named Williams was run over by a wagon, drawn by a span of wild horses, and received injuries which will probably prove fatal. A boy at Salt Lake was recently ruptured by being thrown from a horse. A skillful operation was performed upon him by Dr. J. M. Benedict; but the injury was so very serious that the youth will probably not recover. From the News: Some time ago a statement was published in the News to the effect that a young man named Jed Snyder, had shot a man at Currant Creek, near Ashley's Fork. A letter, dated the 29th ?, which we have been shown, from young Snyder to his aunt in this city, denies that he was [unreadable], or that he was beaten, or that he shot anybody, and concludes, There is just as much truth in that as general reports about me. From the Herald: Mr. W. J. Silver is getting up an iron fence for the grave of the late President B. Young. The castings are of new patterns and of elaborate design, and when completed will be the finest piece of work of the kind yet done in the Territory. |
