To part from her no more.

Across the beautiful river
Our parting will be short,
Soon we shall meet her there

President of the Church to Be Ar
rested for Polygamy.
Salt Lake, July S.-The anti-polygamy
law of Utah is to be enforced in one case
at the least. Mormons deny that poly
gamy longer exists, but the leaders each
maintain several wives to bear their
names though the difficulty of proving
marriage saves them from prosecution.
Angus NJ Cannon. president of the Salt
Lake State of the Church of Latter Day
Saints, will be arrested on charge OF
polygamy. The evidence on which the
charge is based is proof of the birth of
child to one of his polygamous wives
Martha p. Hughes-Cannon. who is at
present a member of the State senate.
The following affidavit has been filed
with the prosecuting attorney OF Salt
Lake county:
C. NJ Owen, being duly sworn, deposes and
says: That he is citizen of the United States
and a resident and taxpayer of the city and
county of Salt Lake; that he is informed, and
verify believes, that about the lst day
of May, 1899. one Martha p. Hughes Cannon,
State senator OF the Legislature OF Utah. was de-
livered OF a child.
That the aforesaid Martha p. Hughes Cannon
is. by common habit and repute in the COM
munity, the plural polygauous wife of Angus
VI. Cannon, president OF the salt Lake State OF
the Church of Jesus Christ OF Latter Day Saints,
and that the Aforesaid Angus NJ Cannon is the
father of said child contrary to the provisions
of sections 1909 and 42I0 Of the State OF Utah,

of the dead man. rather than lose the
apparently valuable paper. generally paid
the amount called for and returned it in
the &C. o. D." express package

about through the widow of Representative
