That Mormon AIudlis.

The Orion Era in referring to the statement made In the CHAMPION that Hildreth, whose case was before the recent grand jury, was a Mormon, and that the two women involved in the difficulty were both Mormohs, says:
 "We repeat our assertion that he is not Mormon, and by this we mean that he Is not a member of the Mor- mon church. "
 It will be observed that the Orion Era speaks in the present tense. Hil- dreth may have been accommodated from the church, if they have such a process, for all we know, but when he lived in Flagstaff he was known as a Mormon. He came from Utah, where he had lived for years, travelling among the Mormon community as an itinerant photographer. The two women were sisters and their maiden name was Allison. They came from Utah where their family connections belonged to the Mormon faith, and while here they were considered to be Mormons, and certainly acted as such.
 Could any two women be found, who were apparently respectable in all other relations of life, that would openly live as the dual wives of one man, unless they were impelled to the practice by some fanatical religious belief2
 Certainly not. American women, who were not Mormons, woild never submit to such degradltion. Mir. Hildreth may not have been member of good standing in the Mormon communion. He may have been "boosted" out. But while he was here in Flagstaff he was very a;siduous in his attention to that obnoxious prac- tice of MormoniSm, known as poly gamy.

Saved by a Conductor.

Jack Brady, one of the co nductors on the A. x P, is a brave man. A few nights ago Jack was at Winslow. It was cold night, the thermometer said 20 degrees below zero, when a Mexican lad came into town and stat ed that there was woman on the road about two miles out, wbo had sue cumbed to the cold and had fallen helpless in the snow by the roadside. While other people were pitying the poor woman and wondering what could be done, Brady started out on his feet, found the woman lying in an unconscious condition, carried her in hls arms back to Winslow and saved her life. In carrying the woman, one of Brady's hands got badly froz- en and he had to go to Albuquerque and lay up for repairs. This little story tells what sort of man Jack Brady is, and there is no need to say anything in his praise.

 It is claimed that the American Beef Company of Philadelphia, has become the owner of what is termed the Holgate process of preserving meat, which, if ramor lies not, is dcs. tined to completely revolutionize the beef industry of the world. By this process it is claimed that for a sum less than one dollar per ton, meat can be preserved in its natural condition for any desired period of time, and that having once been subjected to treatment can be shipped Tn ordinary freight cars regardless of hea, and other exposures. If as it is claimed for it, the process is simple and mex, pensive and one from which no bane- flu! effects can arise to annoy the con, sumer, il needs no prophet to foretelI ihe greatness of the discovery and the benefit it will result in to the beef cat tie producer.

He wore stylish but not gaudy clothing. His companion was small sffeminate fellow, dressed as an ultra dude. Early yesterday morning Dud ley was walking up Chapel street, near Tenn pie street, when one of these two men rushed up to him and extending his hand exclaimed s'How are you, Mr. Dudley l have not seen you before in long time."
 Mr. Dudley failed to remember the man, but his newly made acquaintance talked suringly how he had known him for years.
 Atlength the man said that he had some very elegantly and recently published his
 tories of Connecticut for sale, and he got MT Dudley interested with view of purchasing. He said the books were at his room and MT. Dudley was induced to 90 there, when he found the dudish young man seated at q table handling some cards. The young man wanted MT. Dudley to engage in a game of cards, but the latter refused and the young man said he would play for him, which he did, and soon announced that MT. Dudley had won $1 200 and said the latter must match the amount of his own money to be further successful. NIT. Dudley thought he would do so and started for the Union Trust company's office to draw out his money. but MT. Bartlett, the treasurer of the company, asked MT. Dudley what he wanted it for, and when the latter told him, Mir. Bartlett informed him that he was about to become 8 victim of the bunco men and the two went to police headquarters where MT.

Some of the friends of Miss Adams, the very pretty eighteen-year-old young lady who has lately been having so much fun at the expense of Roger Clough, who was dis charged from the Winchester armory yester- day and who claimed the young lady fol lowed him home too much, thin k that it is only fair to state that the young lady had no serious intentions towards inducing Clough to leave his better half, but only did what she did in mere fun. Miss Adams was obliged to go homo through the same street that Mir. Clough did to get to her house, and the only time she ever spoke to him or said anything in his hearing was one noon when she was going home after work with bevy of lively girls and Clough was walking near them, when Miss Adams, who also felt lively, turned to her companions and said, ''If you want him, I'll steal him for you"
