SOME PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Causes Small LIBERAL Sur
prise Party.

Git was Lve,y two hours that was put N be
fozo Judge Amer son Thursday morning. The
anita room was Tiled with applicants for natu-
rslization.
JAMBs j. GILES
was the first one called and he passed without
any serious objection being raised.
JOSEPH j. GILES
vas 30 Owed to nestle close under the wing
Of the A nericsn eagle without any particular
protest from his Liberal friends.
JOHN MOORE.
This gentleman answered the usual questions
by the Judge satisfactorily TO his honor and was
then turned over TO the Liberal representative
who asked him where ne lived, his street and
number. These were answered. He also
knew what the constitution OF the
United STATES was, but could not, just at that
moment, name any one Of the articles. This
caused me Liberal representative to jump to
his feet in virtuouS Indignation and demand that
income be not admitted, because he was not
attached to the constitution.
The judge looked at the young man minute,
and then quietly remarked that the applicant
probably knew as much about the country as
plenty OF people who had been born here, and
ordered that Moore be admitted.
ANDBRs P. LINDHoLM
answered the questions satisfactorily. Did not
believe in poygamy. Thought one wife was all
nght-but no more. Was a Mormon and took
the Bib to be an authority on poygamy and all
other issues. He would not vi-lIte the laws OF
the United States under any circumstances
and to them he owed his highest allegiance. He
could write English to a certain extent, but
could not read very we'll. This caused an objec-
ton to arise from the Liberal in attendance, but
he was again sat down on by the judge.
CHARLES sYMoNs.
Did not believe in polygamy. Was Mormon,
however.
Can you be q Mormon and not believe In po-
EgSmy;I,"
Did you ever believe in pOlygamyr'

'Do you beliepe polygamy to DO wrong or

Suppose you were in a case wherein q Nor
mon was being tried for pOlygamy or unlawful
oOhabitatlon. Would you require more evidence
TO convict thnn If the defendant was charged
with any other -easeT'
'No''
You are not making any mental reserva

No"
Then the Lib. got in his work

The Judge (brealing in, and evidently very
weary Of playing umpire on a fishing excursionl
He may BIO sworn.
JOHN HADLEY.

zoe wife, and that is all want.
suppose the laws OF the land and the laws OF
Eho church :came in conflict, which would you
obey!'
''The laws Of the land"
The Lib tried to make a point that the appli-
cant had paid tithing within year but was
0ace again knocked out
RUDOLPH BLArNRR
showed q certificate of discharge from the regu-
lar army. Said he was not Mormon and did
not believe in polygGmy.
OLE O. HANSEN
experienced NO particular difficulty in sliding
through,
AUGUST A NORDvALL
was member in good standing in the church.
but did not believe in polygamy.
They thought this an astounding proposition |
and made weak argument to the effect that no
man could be considered a good Mormon" who |
did not believe in and practice Of polygamy.
Mr.. r. w. Young replied. The idea that man
must accept the doctrine of and practice polyg |
amy was absurd. There was nothing binding |
upon members OF the church in this regard, as |
was evidenced by the fact that but small per |
centage OF the Mormon people ever had been |
polygamistS |
Judge Anderson thought likewise, and the |
Liberal again took back seat
CHAs. E. IICKSON.
Was not a Mormon: never had been and |
never expected to be. The Liberal was silent |
but Mr.. Young was not. ,, |
that there is a law OF the United States pro |
the practice of poygainy, adultery for |
uicaton, etc.!"
Have you ever been guilty Of fornication?'
The Liberals were scarcely prepared for this |
bombshelL and its explosion caused consider |
able dismay for moment. The applicant, how |
ever, denied that lie had ever been SO guilty, !
and Mr.. Young let go.
CHARLES &. ERICKSON
passed without other than the regulation ques-
CHARLES j. ERICKSON
was not q Mormon and was not questioned any |
further than the law allowed.
Mr. Young-You are aware that there is law /
prohibiting adultery fornication, etc. Suppose |
one of your friends had broken that law ana the |
officers we're on his track, would you shield |
him from the consequences of such cr1me!.
No"
you would give him up TO the onacers:"
YES"
