GIRL VICTIM FOR
"LITTLE UTAH"
Baited With Rosy Promises Girl
Leaves Home

was nothing to show that Mr.. Bach
man had promised TO adopt the girl.
His promise was a verbal one. The
official report of the case received in
Washington was that the girl was
brought to the country under pecul-
lar circumstances, and as she was apt
to become a public charge, the immi-
grafton board unanimously voted to
deport her, much to the satisfaction
of the little one herself.
This opinion was greatly fastened
by Elder Bachman's unsatisfactory
answer to questions. As a matter OF
fact, the girls story differs widely
from that of the Mormon's.
Commissioner Sergeant, when seen
by our correspondent today, said sim
liar cases had reached his Office in
the past and that it was general prac-
tice with the Mormon church to bring
girls and women to this country un-
der similar conditions and promises.
They came in groups, sometimes as
many as so, including men. A sharp
er lookout in the future is promised
by the immigration service, which
has made up its mind to destroy the
practice if possible.

STILL A MYSTERY.
Dead PPospector's Name is
Unknown.

Wallace, Idaho, Aug. 9.-The
death of the unknown prospector or
trapper, whose remains were discov-
cred on the north fork of the Clear
water river last Monday, still remains
a mystery here. No one yet knows
who the man was or what caused his
death. A. L. Berg of Iron Mountain,
Mont. claims to have first discovered
the body in the doorway of the dead
mans cabin, about 40 miles from
Iron Mountain, in the midst OF a
mountain wilderness. BE says he
was prospecting in the hills and came
ubon the cabin, in which he discov-
cred the remains of the dead man,
whittier it had been dragged by the
beasts of the forest. He says the
body was badly decomposed and
showed signs of having been gnawed
to a considerable extent by wild ami
mails. 1t has been learned that
County Coroner DR.. D. Z. Keys him
self did not go to hold an autopsy
over the remains but delegated Justice
of the Peace c. B. Boyden of Mullan
to go and perform the duties in his
stead. Mr.. Boyden had not yet re-
turned.

Chicago, Aug. 9.-Conclusive evil
dence has been unearthed by State
Bank Examiner G. G. Jones that Paul
o. Stensland, the fugitive president
of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank,
has been guilty of highly criminal
acts in conducting the business of
the institution of which he is the
president.
This was officially announced by
Mr.. Jones today. At the same time
culpability for the crimes which have
brought the far reaching disaster on
the northwest side is narrowing more
and more to President Stensland.
H. w. Herring the missing cashier
who was declared to be an embezzler
of large sums of money, is being in
measure exonerated because of the
lack of direct proof against him.
"When swore out the warrent for
Mr.. Stensland yeserday, said Mr..

of the criminal nature of the acts OF

BEATEN on BARE SKIN.

Once with the elder it was as
though even kind words were denie
her. On two occasions the girl was
undressed and beaten on her nude
skin and without cause, according TO
the girl, who had learned to fear the
man. The sacred privilege of writ
ing to her mother, Thousands Of miles
away, was denied the girl by this pro-
fessed latter day saint. The child
was given TO him outright, so Bach

had only met two months previous.
This was true, because be had papers
to show Of a compact, but they were
Of no legal nature. The Laws of

thorities were not recognized.

Washington, D. G. Aug. 9.-Noth-
ing, save, perhaps the testimony of
President Smith of the Mormon
church, before the state senate com
mittee on privileges and election two
years ago, has caused so wide indig-
nation in the east as the case of Sus-
an Henry, the little IL year old
Scotch school girl brought to this
country agaisnt her will by Elder
Bachman of Shelly, Idaho, Mormon
missionary, who subjected the girl to
all sorts Of cruelty and indignities
while crossing the ocean en- route to
Little Utah." as southeastern Ida
no has become known of late.
Fortunately the child was not per-
mitted to accompany the Mormon
churchman to his haunts, but was or
dered deported and sent back to her
home in Leith, Scotland, to her par
ents, who can we'll afford to provide
for her.
The official correspondence in this
case, made public today by Commits
sioner General Sargent of the immi-
grafton bureau, greatly emphasizes
the need of some power to curb the
aggression Of the Mormon hierarchy
and its practice.
In this case, as the evidence shows,
the imagination of the young girl
was baited with promises never in
tended to be kept. Fer instance,
she was told Of 800 piano which
was awaiting her in America, also
how anxious the church was to pro
vide her with a comfortable home
in this country.
