A SENSATIONAL STORY
Affecting the Respectable Vil-
 Iage of Mesa.
Two Mythical Girls Abducted From Mississippi Town and Brought
 to Arizona.

A recent issue of the New Orleans Pickayune, contains startling and sensational story of two young girls abducted from Mississippi town by two Mormon elders, and brought to the village of Mesa in this county. The &C., count details the indignity and ill treatment to which the girls have been subjected and says that they have written to the governor of Mississippi for relief.
 The story is purely imaginative and unreasonable to those who live here ard understand the conditions at Mesa. The natural course of the girls would be to apply to local authorities for help or to the governor of the territory, and no such application has been made. It would also be impossible that the girls could be detained at Mesa against their will and without the knowledge of the entire community.
 If one thing more than another proves the improbability of the story, 1t is the responsibility of the Mormon residents of Mesa, than whom no more law obid- ing and moral element may be found in the territory.
