SALT LAKE CITY, April 1.-The Nor
mon population is greatly excited over
the vigorous manner in which the laws
against polygamy are being enforced
by the United States Courts. The Nor
mon press is loud in its denunciations
of what it terms the persecution by
the Gentiles of the chosen people," and
The SALT LAKE HERALD, the particular
organ of the, Church in this city, adj
vises armed resistance to the authori-
ties.
Pelygamists and upholders of polyg-
amy are excluded from serving on juries
and cannot hold any political office.
Orson B. Arnold is one of the most pro-
minent Mormons in Utah. He has for
years enjoyed the confidence of Bishop
Smith and other high church dignitar-
les, and has been regarded as pillar
of Mormonism.
Mr.. Arnold has held several political
offices, and has secured the nomination
for County Judge at the election which
takes place in few days. Mr.. Arnold
was married over twenty years ago, and
resided with his wife and several chill
dren in a handsome residence on
Revelation street. A month ago his TO
tice was attracted to a remarkably
handsome young lady whose family
had moved next door to the Arnold re-
sidenee.
She was Miss Lena Dowd. and she had
Just graduated from a boarding school
at Ogden. Matters quickly came to a
climax, and few days ago Mrs. Arnold
was astounded by the information that
- she must prepare the best room in the
house for the new wife.
Neighbors say that it is wonder that

Arnold got the dinner table off his back
he crawled put from under the piano
and went to see Bishop Smith about it.
Mrs. Arnold Is Mormon, but she be-
lieves in one woman running the house,
and Bishop Smith could not convince
her that she was not that woman. Mr..
Arnold married Miss Dowd all the same
and took her to his home.
She received warm reception. Mrs.
Arnold No. stood III the Kitchen over
a kettle of boiling water. and all the
young Arnolds supported their mother,
armed with tin dippers and soft-boiled
potatoes.
"Oh, you wicked woman!" screamed
the elder wife, as she caught sight of the
frightened bride; ''if you step in here
viii seald you"
me, too" screamed the little Arm
olds in chorus, as they grabbed their
clippers firmly.
Mr.. Arnold reasoned the matter and
concluded to go to hotel. Yesterday
Mrs Arnold No. had him arrested for
bigamy and desertion. Judge Zane i'm

Arnold promised to return to his first
wife and family and TO abandon poly
gamy. His new wife went into hyster-
les when she heard his decision.

come of the case and threaten to tar
and feather Arnold. The GentiLes say
they will see he is not hurt so long as
he remains firm IN his present inten-
tons.
The average reader of the Morwiag
Journal accepted the above as a genuine
telegram, and in his heart thanked the
publisher for his enterprise in having
such a racy bit of news telegraphed all
the way from Salt Lake City for the
delectation of Gothamites. The reader
doesn't know that not a line or word Of
the alleged Especial" was telegraphed to
the Journal. the entire dispatch being
made up in the Journal newsrooms by
some imaginative fellow who found
theground work for his telegram in the
Associated Press announcement that
Orson Arnold had pleaded guilty to I'M
lawful cohabitation and promised to
hereafter live within the law. Such a
bungler at the business was the
fellow that there are between
forty and fifty positive lies
or about as many lies as lines in the
telegram. People in Utah will be forced
to smile through their chagrin as they
read the above, and none will be more
