POLYGAMOUS MORMONISM
WHY YOUNG Mr.. SNOW HAS WITH
DRAWN FROM 1T FOREVER.
A Few OF the Many Experiences While
Living In the Fold OF His Fathers
Numerous Family Explaining How 1t
10 All Done.

Mr.. T. II. Snow, OF Salt Lake City,
Utah, spent last night in the city, and left
this morning for trip through several
Southern States.
Mr.. Snow claims to he a son OF Apostle
Lorenzo Snow, an apostolic gentleman
whose benedctive responsibilities sum up
the snug number OF ten living wives and
ITO children.
Young Mr.. Apostle Snow has withdrawn
from the Mormon Church and IS Just now
camping on the trails of several Mormon
missionaries who are laboring TO secure
converts In the South. The tale this
young gentleman tells reflects but little
credit upon the gentleman who is associa.
ted with him in the capacity OF father.
Apostle Lorenzo is a sort OF Pooh Bah
among the faithful in and around his bill
wick, and rules with an iron hand. His
teachings and practices are disgusting in
the extreme. His domestic inielicties
began by one OF his wives running away
with whole man OF her own. This made
the old gentleman mad, aud no married
two wives in one day TO make even"
When prosecuted under TIE Edmunds
law, he compelled his wives to swear that
they were not his wives, and, when in his
sxtielh year, he took 10 himself brand new
vile only fourteen years OF age. For this
youthful companion he practically dc.
serted all others. lie built her fine man

tons on her. This brought about gem

subdivisions OF his family. The old man
repented and killed herd Of fatted calves.
| lie Invited his family back and they came
In force. They were having reunion, the
one hundred aud twenty, but something
went wrong and ii bursted up In row.
The explosion threw Young Mr.. Snow
clear out OF Utah, and he has been telling
about II ever since. The old gentleman
organized the "Orler Of Enoch," elected
himself treasurer and general manager,
and did q land Office business. When
checking up time came they found that no
had made away with the budget and left
Enoch out IN the cold. At last accounts
the old gentleman was doing as well US
could be expected, aud rcposing quietly in
one Of the many bosoms of his family. Mr..
Snow. Ills, has quit forever his fathers

land exposing the private teachings q

version OF these teachings, Mormonism
