MORMON BISHOP ARRESTED
J. F. jolly, Head of Colony in Big
Horn County, Wyoming. Charged
with POlygamy.

BASIN. Wyo., May 5.-A sensation has
been created here by the arrest yesterday
OF Bishop ]. F. Jolly head of the Mormon
settlements in Big Horn county, numbering
over 800 members, on the charge of sus-
tanning polygamous relations with two
wives.
The arrest OF Bishop jolly will be fol-
lowed by the prosecution of nearly score
OF other prominent members of the Nor
mon church in this county on similar
charges, it is said.
The alleged discovery that the Mormons,
who now almost control Big Horn county,
the largest in the state, had planned to
divide the county and create a new one
which they could control, aroused the Gen.
tiles and influenced them to institute GRIM
inal proceedings on charges of polygamy.

The city council last evening held a spe-

employed TO examine the water works
and electric light system with a view to
the erection of a new plant or the en-
largement of the present one, which after
twenty years of use is in need of gem
eral overhauling. Two propositions were
submitted; first. for the construction Of
a new plant, using, however, the wells
at the present plant, the estimated cost
Of which was $4,000; and second, the
reconstruction of the present plant at a
cost of $4,000. The first plan conteIn-
plates the building of a new plant at
some point on the line of one of the rail-
roads, thus saving the cost of hauling
coal. which is big item, and a large in
crease OF electric power over that of the
present plant. This plan seems to meet
