II asuit recently entered in the SUI
5ppeine Court OF the Territory OF Utah
in chancery the fact was developed
that one Of the infamous practices of a
corporation in existence until March,
1887, under the title of ..The Church Of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day- Saints, =
was to impose upon the credulity OF
unsophisticated foreigners and obtain
from them such money and valuables
as they possessed, ostensibly to be held
in trust, and keep it for the private
use of the so-called saints OF the church.
In the above suit the petitioner, one
Carl P. Carlson, through his attorney,

with this old-time food leads TO its

distribute themselves with amazing
