Show Fire at the Beardsley Honse. Thero was considerable excitement in the city last evening over freely circulated rumors that the Union depot, Ogden, was on fire, but the ' following telegraphic dispatches re-c re-c ceived last night contradict the b reports. The first came over the 1 VVesiern Union wires, the next by 3 the Deseret line. There is such a f wide difference in the reading of the t dispatches that if the Beardsley Hous 1 were not mentioned in both, one . would think that two fires had 00-1 00-1 curred in the Junction city. The facts will probably be received to-day and in the meantime the reader is at liberty to select which of the dispatches he will believe : Ogden, 24.
