LDS political newspaper, the Salt Lake Herald, reports another Mormon's assault on a reporter for the anti-Mormon Salt Lake Tribune with this headline: "THRASHING A REORTER. Don Carlos Young Remodels the Phiz[sic] of C.T. Harte to Suit His Fancy." A Mormon judge fines Young $17.50 for this assault and battery.
