THE IDAHO M0RMONS.
Bishop Bulge Arrested for
Conspiracy.
A CRIME OF TWO YEARS AGO
But the Same Tactics Said to Be
on Foot for the Com
ing Election.

Boise CITY, Idaho. Sept. 15.-Word
comes to this city that Bishop Budgc,
OF the Mormon church, was arrested to
day by Deputy United States Marshal
Hobson, on the charge of conspiracy.
The oitcnse was committed two years
ago in connection with the Mormon
registration and voting racket.
The facts in the case are reliably re-
ported to be as follows: Two years ago,
despite the strict registery law and test
oath of Idaho, quite number of Nor.
mons in Bear Lake and Bingham
counties registered and voted. In this
way they elected several well-known
Mormons to the legislature, whom,
when the facts became known, the leg
islature promptly fired. These Mormons
were aiterward indicted for perjury and
illegal voting Bulge, with others, is
reported to have been at the bottom of
this illegal voting scheme, counseling
the Mormons to vote. A shrcwd
scheme Is said to have been organized to
defeat the election laws, to have the
Mormons ostensibly Withdraw from the
Mormon church for voting purposes,
register and vote, swearing they were
not members of any Mormon organiza-
ton and did not believe in polygamy.
Under this dodge it was hoped to poll
enough Mormon votes to elect Hawley
to congress. Many did 80 withdraw,
register and vote, but their little game
was easily seen through, and the parties
so voting were arrested. 1t is charged
that Bulge was privy to all this.
no nd tnr -.
against him for conspiracy, on the basis
of these alleged actions, and he was ar.
rested at Paris and held to answer In
$500 bail.
1t is the settled determination of the
United States officials, thoroughly
backed by the public sentiment of Idaho,
to enforce the election laws at all haZ-
ards. The leading Mormons are highly
indignant at the arrest OF Bulge, and
threaten all manner OF things. United
States Marshal Wilson left the city to-
night for Bear Lake county, accom-
panied by United States Attorney FIRE.
mont Wood.
AS the time of election approaches.
some of our best citizens fear open yio-
lence IN some strongly Mormon coun-
ties, but it Is hoped that better counsel
will prevail. The Mormons, through
their organs, are saying very suucy
things. They feel enraged at the loss of
political influence. The rank and file
are grossly ignorant, and completely
under the control OF the priesthood, and
believe resistance to man-made govern
ments to be obedience to God. They are
taught hostility to the law, and the gov.
ernment of the United States especially
because OF the murder of Prophet Smith.
At word from the church, these
ignorant fanatics would act like a spark
of fire in powder, and would set afoot
much trouble. Governor Shoup is firm,
and says the law must be obeyed ut all
hazards

IN THE SNAKE RIVER.
Discovery of the Body of
Robert Ray Hamilton.
HE WAS ACCIDENTALLY DROWNED
Indications That He Was Trying
to Ford the Stream-His
Horse Found.

HELENA, Mont, Sept. li--Word has
been received that Robert Ray Hamil.
ton, of New York, whose name is widely
known to newspaper readers, in connec-
ton with the trial oil his wife early in
the year for cutting affray with her
maid, was drowned in Yellowstone park
to-day.
The news was brought by J. o. Green,
son of Norvin Green, OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, who has
been in the park. 1t seems that Hamil-
ton bought ranch about two months
ago In the park, and has been there
since. When Green and party arrived
at the rancn August % they found that
Hamilton had been absent on u hunting
trip for several days. The next day they
started out to search for him, and found
his body thirty miles from the ranch, in
Snake river, while his horse and hunt
ing dog were short distance away.
Green says that he positively identified
Hamilton's body, took 1t to the ranch,
and notified the dead mans family.
Green has been in the park ever since,
and was surprised that the news had not
gotten out before.
Green thinks the unfortunate man
was accidentally drowned while trying
to ford the river. His horse was found
grazing on the bank. He had saddle
on, but it was turned under his belly.
nAMILroN's CAREER.
NEW YoRK, sept, 14,-Robert Ray
Hamilton was the great grandson of
Alexander Hamilton, the great Ameri-
can statesman, and WAS lawyer by
profession. He had served several
terms in the assembly with credit, and
had hosts of friends. About
four years ago Hamilton met Evange-
line Brill who was then known as Mrs
Joshua Mann, and 1t was his associa-
tions with her that ruined his lite. The
story of his unfortunate experience with
her ana the elimination OF the trouble
last summer does not need repetition
now.
THE FATHER FRUSTRATED.
No further particulars have been re
ceived to-day concerning the death of
Robert Ray Hamilton. His father,
General Schuyler Hamilton, is pros
trated. He has received no advices
other then the published reports. The
remains will probably be brought east.
The death of Robert Ray Hamilton
terminates his suit against Evangeline
Steele, alias Eva Mann.
His attorney said that tho litigation
was ended unless the father or brother
took hold of the matter, in which case
the suit would be pushed. Otherwise,
Mrs. Hamilton, who is now in Trenton
State prison, would receive one-third of
the estate and the baby the remainder.
General Hamilton had nothing to say
about the litigation.
