Show Sensation Rumor. For two or three hours yesterday considerable excitement prevailed on E.ist Temple street, tho same being occasioned by a rumor that another shooting affray had occurred in Bingham Bing-ham canon, and three men were killed. At first the story was very indefinitely told, no one apparently knowing anything about the facts; but soon the time, place and names were given, and a horrible tale of bloody murder was eagerly related and as eagerly listened to.

There was considerable quarreling on the train, and it was thought that upon reachieg the c-aiion the war of words might grow into something more violent.
