Show THE LATE TRAGEDY. "Love," Disappointment, and tlie Until.. A Draco of Dligaitlng KiTutloiii, Tho inquest on the body ofDoIson was held yesterday moraine, tho witnesses wit-nesses examined being SV. T. Richman, Dr. Knodc and W. W. Angel. Their testimony simply pointed to the fact that Obey did the shooting, which he acknowledges. Wo understand his lawyers propose proving that when Oboy left his post-office box, aftor getting get-ting his letters, he aaw Dolson and went up to him, having his hand on his pistol; that be demanded a retrao-tion retrao-tion which was refused; that he drew his pistol and fired while Dolson was attempting to draw his, and that the latter succeeded in getting the pistol drawn though not in time to use it Of Dolson's letters to Mrs. Obey, which will bo introduced in evidence, we presume, the two following will give some idea of the man who was killed. The firBt, which wo give verbatim, ver-batim, runs thus: Salt Lake City, April 23d, 1872. My Dear Mary. Your letter of the 17th instant is Just received in which you express such Hart broken feelings in consequence of remarks in one of my letters. My Dear little Darling I wish Iwas with you a while I would hug you so good and tell you exactly what made mo think as I did, and then I am quite sure you would not blame me for thinking as I did, and Dear if I have wounded your feeling 1 beg your pardon over and over again and I want you to Ibrgive me too. now Dear if I you had of answered my question long 1 ago 1 never would have beleivod anything any-thing but as you held off I thought it was only on account of that man and what other conclusion was I to come to, but hereafter I shall believe you and no one else for it is so hard for mo to think that you would be foolish enough to decline me when it is so un-1 un-1 necessary, and why I don't want to do-olino do-olino you nor want you to decline mo is that if we intend to be companions which I hope we will be then I don't want any scar left lor as you say a wound may heal but thoro is most always al-ways a scar left to remind us of the past, and I do hope and pray that such will not be our lots. Now Dear I will say right hore in Plain filack and White that I am willing to take you for my companion and in return bo your companion com-panion for life provided it is agreeable with you. So there you have my opinion my feeling and my word. And oow to wind up this subject I would like to have your promise perfectly plain and just as you feel. If you want to put in the proviso and iffs as you did in your first answer do so, and if you don't think that I could mako you happy then just tell me plainly, at any rate let us settle it one , way or the other and then we can act , accordingly and here after we can write ' about somethiog else, why I ask this Dear is this, in your first answer you had a lot of it's in it and I dont like that for 1 am so plain with you, and then in your last letter you said that if you had not answered my questions that you would probably not ieel like answering them at all, and Dear I don't know what lam to infer from j that, at any rato it leaves room for & disagreeable feeling, and if you are plain just as I am then it saves all argument ar-gument or chance lor any bad feeling, now I will say more but as you know me I believe it is almost unnecessary, but I will do all in my power to make you bapy if we do start in together, as you said you would try to make me hapy. well Dear I am not hard to plase if I am treated half way right, and all of my time outside of business Hours shall be devoted to your Hapi-ness Hapi-ness and I oincorely think we could live awful hapy together, but perhaps Dear you cant make up your mind to leave your husband and if so you ought to tell me and I will wean myself off the best I can, now I will tell you what I am going to do, I have promised a moneyed man who is well posted in the saloon business as well as myself to go to San Francisco and open a very extra first-class saloon, and I am quite sure wo oan make money for I know so many people all over this western coast and I know them favorable too, and I can command a good trad, then there is another man here that wants me to go in with him to open a fine restaurant restau-rant in the same city but I think a little lit-tle the best of the saloon as I am acquainted ac-quainted with all the hurah or fast pcoplo of the west, at any rate I am deadly Bick and ticrd of sporting and if I am in business and feel like sporting sport-ing I can get into plenty of soft games, so I may havo to stay here 4 or 6 weeks yet as wo arc shaping shap-ing our mines so that we oan get it pattented, and also our furnace fur-nace wan built wrong and in the wrong place, it was too lar Irom our mine, and before we start again we are going to build 3 furnaces instead of one and then we are all right for a sufljojent income in-come to support us in grand style the ballance of our days, so I never intend to sell my interest and neither does Jumps nor Benny they are all here yet, wo have run out 15 or J20 OUOOO worth of Bullion but will stop the furnace fur-nace the last of this month, Mrs church moved yesterday but ber things are all upside down yet, Mrs ljartlett has got her room about fixed up, Mr Bartlett and Jim oonroy have gone to corinno, miss couldook died on the 10th of April, I snt you a paper with account of her death I went to church and heard the funeral services, it ia 4 or 5 days since I havo written because I got no letter from you, so your sister from Orleans is at Home you havo quito a family now if all your sisters are at homo and also your brother, bro-ther, Dear you will not forget to send me that pieture when you have some taken will you, O O Bays ho is going to Chicago beforo long but I expeot he will go to St Louis, about your writing to Sobieska you can do as you please but 1 dont think ho is worth it, he says ho has sent home after 250$ to go to San Francisco on, perhaps if lie gets it ho will go back home, hopeiug to hoar from my Darling often and that hereafter our letter may bo more simplified, I am your loving and devoted Charlie P. S. I will have my Divorco in about 2 weeks I think and thank God for it, and I wrote to her for a settlement settle-ment also It is very evident from the foregoing forego-ing what his intentions were. The woman, it seems, refused his demands and soon after bo penned the following communication to her, some of the language of which we are compelled to omit, it hi so disgustingly filthy: Salt Lake, May 24, 1S72 Mrs Mary Obey No 701, Pino St., St, Lou:j, Mo.
