Paul Pry Punished.
SALT LAKE, June 6.-A Chicago gentleman named Marr to-day was visiting the unfinished Mormon temple here in company with his wife and a lady friend. They had to cross a large strip of open space on a rude platform of loose boards. Glancing downward Marr saw crouching in the pit a saint looking eagerly upward -for the second coming of Christ, maybe. Marr cornered the beast and gave him a flogging. The Paul Pry saint threatened to call his brethren, whereupon the Chicago man told him to call the whole band, and to spur him on, he punched him again.
