CHEYENE, Wyo., Oct. 1S-Secret
service men arrested VIM. H., Ken.
ningston, United States Commissioner
at Alton, in the Star Valley Mormon
settlement of Western Wyoming, on
the charge of polygamy, and it is said
other arrests will occur shortly. The
disclosures made by the government
detectives has caused sensation IN
Wyoming. Frequent reports from
there have stated that Mormons were
practicing polygamy, and that one
man lived openly with five wives, but
owing to the remoteness of the settle
men, and the fact that all OF the resi-
dents are Mormons, and Gentiles sell
dom visit the district, the facts have
been kept from the public.
