| Show FALSEHOOD contradicted general augur commandant of this department returned from utah yesterday the tho general scouts the statement contained in a recent telegram that he was insulted by the people of salt lake the above we clip from the omaha merald herald Ye raid and we do so with the more pleasure because it shows that general augur is not willing that sensational dispatches based on falsehood in watch wh ch his name is concerned should be circulated cu even if they are sent with the intention of damaging the mormons cormons Mor mons we thank the merald herald for lor or placing the generals statement on record but how must he feel towards the persons who were doubtless introduced to him as respectable who suffered this falsehood to go and especially when he learns that one of them if we have been correctly informed p by the name of odily was the author autho r of the dispatch itself which he has deemed it necessary to contradict we nn deratany dera tand this W P 0 persons personas bumes to be the agent of the associated press in this city we are surprised at this for we have known several agents of the associated press and they were gentlemen judging by his dispatch relative to the occurrence in which general augur and the people of this city figure we expect equally false dispatches in relation to the election recently held in this territory and other occurrences have been sent off we heard beard yesterday that a certain would be prominent man had bad been circulating cu the report that he had been turned out of his boarding house by the influence of the church authorities here because he had thrust himself forward as an opposition candidate it would be strange if this agent suffers such garbage to pass without preserving and transmitting it over the wires for the delectation of those having similar tastes with himself he will never mention of course that it has been a matter of surprise how any decent boarding house keeper beeper could endure for any length of time the presence of such a person as this expelled boarder but we shall probably see in a few days what kind yno of dispatches he has haa sent and it will be a little satisfaction to know who it is that makes it a business to misrepresent and defame the people of this territory |
