ured OFT single acre of ordinary land, and
planted it with this wheat fiom which ne

yield. So far as quality the wheat speaks

Arm Eliza YOung-An Interview
With the Prophets Son Upon
the Mormon Divorce Suit.

John W. Young, Of Salt Lake City, the
e Oldest son of Brigham Young, is stopping at
the ST Nicholas hotel, and New Y ork
reporter called upon him to ascertain what
course his father intended to take in the d.
vorco suit commenced against him by Mrs.
Ann Eliza Young, formerly Miss Webb.
Mr.. Young said that the Salt Lake and
Utah papers had published number of sem
sational stories in connection with his ia
theirs case for the purpose of causing dis
sention among the Mormon people.
II read" he said, 'sa statement in one of
the papers that compromise had been
agreed on, but you may deny it. My faith
er will not consent to any compromise. He
is the wrong sort Of man to be forced to any
arrangement such as Mrs Young and her
advisers are endeavoring to carry out"

will be seen that our religious enemies are
at the bottom of the whole transaction. uUn
til short time before the suit was br ght
against my father, Ann Eliza had even
complained against him, or said she was
short of funds. My tathr would have
given her all she required, and in fact did,
allowing her about So, 900 year in addi-

report that my father did not allow her suf

this unpleasantness arisen she would have
been the owner Of the house she lately
resided 10. A number Of our religIou ene-
mics have done their utmost to disseminate
trouble among our people, and | suppose
Mrs. Young has been led away by some Of
them.
''The Rev Mr.. Stratton, a Methodist
minister of Salt Lake City, has interested
himself very much in this case, and has been
instrumental in inducing Mrs Young to
leave the Mormon Church. I am quite
convinced that the step taken by Ann Eliza
was taken on the impulse of the moment,
and that she, as much as any one, now re-
grets it, Her father and mother are very
much displeased with her, and, in fact,
