The Nfnr.nnn Creed.

President WillfOrd Woodruff, 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 sdherents 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 transgression.N
 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 tha; 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 organiEa- tion that existed in the primitive church, viz; apostles, prophets, pas tors, teachers, evangelists, etc. '. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. g. 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 7e- 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 i 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 it's paradisic glory. l 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.
 I2. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers and magis- trstss. in oheying, honoring and sus- tsining the law.
 I3. We believe in being honest, true, ehs-t-, benevolent, yirtuous, and in doing good to ali men; indeed, we may say that we follow the sdmOni- tiCn of Paul; "We believe all things, ~e hope all things;% Wo have endured many things and hope 10 be able 10 endure all things. IT fhere is any thing virtuous. lovely, or of good re- port, or prsiseWorthy, we seek after these thiHgs

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 Tnesoa. Wishing te sec zeal E::e ol.e, A 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 he by
 he Territorial press. They are buill upon the same general plan as an of-
 dinary mortal. They are about five
 feet high and quite thick like. They have no wings and they seem quite
 intelligent. They talk inst like peo- pie. The one which visited Tomb
 stone is said to be an improvement on
 the buzzard vsnety. and no one who
 saw this one would have supposed il to
 be anything out of the way Of a con-
 mon every day member of the human
 family. Mir Hawk, for this is the gentleman's name. gave much yalu- able information concerning the du-
 ties of an agent. and a reproduction
 of his explanations will be of interest to "timber thieves" and the grabbers of the public domain known as "un- lawful feucers" MT. Hawk stated that at the present time he has sole power of authority over the entiTv Territory, in place of four who up to November last divided the honors and emoluments of the office. The fol- 1 mer agent, Bowmsn, was retired, and MT. Hawk made his first visit here in response Co instructions sent to him from United States Attorney JefOrds 10 go to the Ross mill and investigate the timber cutting there. In answer to a request by the PRosPECToR man as to the charges preferred against
 Ross and the Copper Queen company, he read from a book con taining Copp'r decisions a point which was so vague that no one but an artist could have grasped 1t. Mr Hawk condemned the action of Bowman in taking the seV- eral parties from Wilcox to Tucson on
 charge Of uRlawfully fencing land. He further stated tiat the instructions Co agents are to visit the immediate locality when a 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-
 iul 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 Two Buzzsrds" were follow ng in the wake Of the Apaches who
 killed Smith. He says that he has no
 deputies and this must have been a
 mistake. The gentleman gave ss 6
 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 Uncle Sam as a 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 inteR- tiOn of the government to modest the Posr man who was struggling for a
 foothold, but the corporations who
 were in the wholesale business.
