Letter From Kibby.

1t would be far from our purpose to
publish anything in our columns with a
malicious intent toward rival publica-
ton, much less to accomplish personal
injury. But they are always open to cor
respondence and while we regret the
marked indiscretlon of the Tribune's
special reporter in allowing his imagina-
ton to run away with his judgment, after
visiting the good people Of Kibby, we
still feel it just courtesy to print the
following communication.
Psychologically speaking the culture
of the imagination is praiseworthy en-
ployment, but a good sound matter Of
fact basis sometimes better meets pop
ular favor:
EDITOR GREAT FALLS LEADER:
A few days ago we had visit from the
young ambitious special correspondent
of the Tribune. Being democratic COM
munity we treated him with courteous
hos pitality and in return for our kind
ness he published in his issue of the 21st
inst, false, scurrilous article abusing
Kibby and slandering the people in gen
eral. We claim to be as respectable as
the people of any other community and
if we wish to so down to the saloon and
have chat with our neighbors or play a
game of cards, we do not wish the repor-
ter of any paper to sneak into our midst
and stigmatize us as buns and dead
beats.
When we are not satisfied with our
postoffice we will do our own grumbling
and do not require a fresh young man
from town to do it forus. In speaking of
fights and black eyes he either lies or
has vivid Imagination. If he ever
comes through Kibby in daylight he will
find the black eyes very close to his imag-
inative powers. The decision seems to
be to boycott the whole concern which
he represents and the result of his false
hoods will be the reduction of his dozen
subscribers to one or two of the faithful
ones CITIZEN.

industriously employed in the hearing Of
testimony in support of the complainants.
The first witness called was John Bond,
who testified that he was member of
the Mormon church and went through
the endowment house in 1858; that he
was there required to enter into the most
solemn obligations and oaths to obey
every doctrine of the Mormon church, as
preached and declared by the duly con-
stituted authorities thereof; to avenge
the blood of the prophets Joseph and
Hyrum upon the nation; to do all things
commanded by the proper authorities; to
keep secret and never divulge any of the
teachings, oats or penalties of the zen
dowments."
He further testified that hostility to
the government of the United States was
especially enjoined; also that it was his
duty to support the priessnood of the
of the church in all things, religiously,
socially, politically, domestically and il
nancially. He also testified that the pen
alties for breaking these vows or any of
| them, were to have the throat cut from
ear to ear, to have the heart torn out, or
to be disemboweled. This was in sub
stance the testimony of all the witnesses
for the plaintiffs.
| For the defense Apostle John Henry
Smith and number of lesser lights were
called. Smith testified that he had sew
eral times refused to obey Brigham
Young and John Taylor; that he was
we'll acquainted with the instructions,
obligations and penalties of the endow.
ment house; that no oath or obligation
was taken to avenge the blood Of the
prophets on the nation or any other indi.
vidual. When asked regarding the pen
alties, he refused to answer, The testi
mony of all the witnesses for the defense
was similar to Smiths.
The examination of witnesses for the
defense was continued on Monday anC
Tuesday, 18th and 10Th and will probably
be finished on the Goth, when testimony
in rebuttal will be offered by plaintiffs
after which the arguments of the respec
tive counsel will be made.
Judge Anderson's hearing of these ex
traordinary disclosures has been marked
with patience and forbearance and hi
rulings with justice and jud dgment; it be
ing apparent to all that he fully compre
hends the gravity of the situation ant
that the right to the privileges of Ameri
can citizenship of the entire membership
OF the Mormon church is involved ant
seriously imperiled.

THANKSGIVING.

The little brown house by the road,
With vines running up to the caves,
Where the summer long there were bursts Of
song,
And f1utter Of wings In the leaves;
Obi the little brown house was merry
In the days that used to be.
When the boys and girls, with their sunny
curls,
We're close at the mothers knee.
But the little brown house by the road
Is lonely now and still,
For Robin Is dead, and Alice is wed.
And Louie must bdc at the mill;
Father is gray and silent,
And the mothers foot Is slow,
And you hear the clock with its faint tick
took,
AS you could not long ago
The little brown house by the road,
From the swift train flashing by.
Twatch 1t stand in the quiet land.
Under the quiet sky;
From the time Of the golden daisies
To the hour Of the falling leaves,
From the time Of seed to the waving mead,
And the flush Of the ripened sheaves.
The little brown house by the road,
When passed it yester cen,
Sudden and sweet 1t laughed to greet
My eyes with dazzling sheen;
There were lamps in the twinkling windows
/ knew as ratified past
That the fire was bright on the hearth alight
And the children home at last.
To the little brown house by the road
Had come Thanksgiving day,
And the wintry air. If they felt it there,
Had the tender warmth Of May.
The fathers tongue was loosened,
And the mothers laugh was clear,
For the chrism Of love was poured above
The home In the waning year.
The little brown house by the road
Obi mother, old and gray,
Honest and true they return to you.
The children who went away;
And Rev, who Is off in the army.
And Archie, afar on the sea,
Never forget the tasks they were set
Athome. by the mothers knee.
From little brown homes by the road,
The strength Of our land Is brought,
Paying their way from day to day.
Simple and pure in thought
The chord of grand Thanksgiving
From homes like this ascends,
To the glory Of One beyond the sun.
Whose kingdom never ends.
