SPECIAL AGENTS.
A Real Live One Comes to Tombstone and Is Inter.
 viewed.

Special Agent Hawk arrived in
 town yesterday and left to-day for Tucson. Wishing to see real live one, representative of the PRosPEc- TOR called upon him last night at the
 Palace. ~hey are not as bad looking
 as they have been represented to be by
 he Territorial press. They are buil'
 upon the same general plan as an or
 dinary mortal. They gre about five
 feet high and quite thick like. They
 have no wings and they seem quite
 intelligent. They talk just like peo-
 pie. The one which visited Tomb stone is said to be an improvement on
 'he buzzard variety. and no one who
 saw this one would have supposed it to
 be anything out of the way of con-
 mon every day member of the human
 family. MT. Hawk, for this is the
 gentleman's name. gave much valu- able information concerning the du- ties of an agent, and reproduction
 of his explanations will be of interest
 to climber thieves" and the grabbers of the public domain known as "un- lawful fencers." MT. Hawk stated that at the present time he has sole power of authority over the entire Territory, in place of four who up to November last divided the honors and emoluments of the office. The for mer agent, Bowman, was retired, and MT. Hawk made his first visit here in response to instructions sent to him from United States Attorney Jeffords to go to the Ross mill and investigate the timber cutting there. In answer to request by the PRosPEcToR man as to the charges preferred against Ross and the Copper Queen company, he read from book containing Copp's decisions a point which was so vague that no one but an artist could have grasred it. MT. Hawk condemned the action of Bowman in taking the sev- eral parties from Wilcox to Tucson on a charge of unlawfully fencing land. He further stated that the instructions to agents are to visit the immediate locality when complaint has been made and investigate the charge. Il the parties complained of are in the wrong he gives them sixty days to re- move the obstruction or cease unlaw- full cutting. If at the end of that time it has not been done it is his duty to order his arrest. MT. Hawk states that he has been notified to pre- pare to arrange for a new field, but whether any one is to succeed him in Arizona Or not he does not know. He states that he wes in Yuma when the report was published in the PRosPEc- TOR that 1.-Two Buzzards" were follow Ing in the wake ot the Apaches who killed Smith. He says that he has no deputies and this must have been a mistake. The gentleman gave as a reason for the fact that no convictions were ever secured of the defendants who were taken to Tucson, that every body out in this country looked upon Uncls Sam as person who could be robbed without any qualms of con. science on the part of the robbers. He also stated that it was not the inten- tion of the government to molest the poor man who was struggling for a foothold, but the corporations who were in the wholesale business.

The Mormon Creed.

Presldent WllIfOrd WOOdruh, the head of the Mormon church, pub lished recently in the Illustrated American long and very ably writ ten article, which contained among other things the leading articles of faith professed by adherents of the Mormon religion. They are as fol- lows:
 1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son. Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
 2. We believe that men will be pun ished for their own sins, and not for Adams tranagression.
 3. We believe that, through the atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the Gospel.
 4. We believe that these ordinances are: First. faith in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, repentance; third, hap- tism by immersion for the remission of sins; fourth, laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
 5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by "prophecy, and by the laying on of hands," by those who are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
 6. We believe in the same organiza- ton that existed in the primitive church, viz: apostles, prophets, pas tors, teachers, evangelists, etc. z. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, r velation. visions, healing, interpretation of tongues. etc. 8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God.
 g. We believe all that God has re- vealed, all that he does now reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal many great and important things per taining to the kingdom of God.
 10. We believe in the literal gather ing of Israel and in the restoration of the ten tribes. That Zion will be built upon this continent, that Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisic glory.
 II. We claim the privilege of wor- shipping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and al- low all men the same privilege, let them worship how, where or what they may.
 12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magis- trates. in "beying, honoring and sus- taining the law.
 13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admoni- ton of Paul; "We believe all things, we hope all things" We have endured many things and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is any, thing virtuous, lovely, or of good re- port, or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.
