mering away on Deacon Brown, the
editor and proprietor of the Argus.
From recent dispatch from Utah
the elders" claimed they had the
Deacon about through" but the
Deacon is a tough old sinner and
it may take several days yet. We
understand the Deacen's obstinancy
is caused by the ELDERS" Offering
him two wives and a mule, when he
wanted three wives and two mules
and the Deaconship. We hope he
will get the other mule and the
Deaconship anyhow.
1t would seem from the first line
of the above that Bro. Lipscomb
has already been taken into full
fellowship. AS for us, siAce we
have been elected member of the
Town Council, we have concluded
that we will have trouble enough on
hand without any wives or mules
to look after.
