A contemplate lHUe Mormon lawyer
was lbe defendant Of Hawkins and tried
10 screen Linn by lle claim aat tie FRO
bssc Court had granted ibis man divorce
some time before, aud that .be had no
further claim upon her former husband.
THIS was throwing the fat int7 the Gre,
fas ibe federal court f. determined 10 IT,
more tho existence q tha Probate Court
outside 81 lie legitimate and proper iuris-
dlction, here as elsewhere.
Up to the arrival Of The present judges
tEc Probate Counts here have carried
things wi.ba high baud, aud have ey-
tended their jurisdiction over everything
civil and criminal, aud have, in this city
alone, executed probably a dozen men,
hanging or shooting them, as they might
elcrt Ii was nothing In favor ofThomas
. Hawkins that lhc Probate Court had adj
minlstcred to him. The Chief Justice
was emphatic.
The counsel for Mrs. Hawkins prcsen-
led her affidavit charging Hawkins with
adultery. end he was held to bail in the
sum Of 81 900 to answer to any ndict-
mcut 10 be found by the Grand Jury,
and, falling to give satisfactory bail, he
win he sent for safe keeping TO
ruE cALAEoosE At CAMP DOUGLAS.
This interesting case has shaken the
city ard the mounting Mormons arc
/ furious. as they see themselves caught in
I their own snare, and sending the Mormon
prisoners to Camp Douglas is the bitter
est pill they have to swallow, for all Of
which they have themselves to thank.
Whom the present United States Mar
shal entered upon his du.ies, over year
ago, he applied to the Mormon official in
charge Of the calaboosc here, and he re-
fused to admit the Marshals prisoners
on which the Marshal applied to the com
maudor Of the post for the use of the
soldiers calaboose, and now the prisoners
of tho United States Courts are all sent
there. Had this been the voluntary mo.
ton Of the Marshal it would have been
very unwiso and something like persecu-
ton, but the Mormons bite their lips in
silence.
WHAT IS 10 BE DONE WITH THE EXTRA
WIVES.
The rcformers have finally come to the
conclusion to make a clean breast o.
their troubles, and w. S. Godbe has
come before the world with statement
of their pcrplexitics, He is frank and
tells it out lie has four wives, and three
Of these have over dozen children anC
the fourth one none. They all have los
faith in Brigham's polygamy. lie is {
sample of other brethren; and, in losing
faith, they have reached Brigham's hell
they are tied, want to do and can't.
This was the game Of the polygami'
prophet from the beginning. He urgeC
preached, counscllcd and commanded
the leading men TO take more wives. II,
/ knew that they could not then leave tn

them where he wanted them, and Ii,
