of1er any other name as the chief Of
render than he who testified In
Washington before the senate CON-
mittee on Privileges and Elections,
that he was the most prominent in
Idaho. l refer. of course, to William
Bulge, who divides his conjugal at
tentions impartially and not unsuc-
cessfully among his three wives
Julia, Lizzie and Ann. That his
matrimonial relations have recently
taken on the aspect Of interstate
commerce Is also true but, In spite
OF that, bis impartiality with regards
to the two remaining In Idaho is
susceptible OF proof Even the dis
trict judge Is one OF the best in
formed Of the witnesses, being one OF
the many sons of the most promi. |
nent Mormons In Idaho.
The next case which we will ap.
proach Is that OF J. U. Stuck, also

and Clara Sport; the last of whom he
corrugated In the fall OF 1892. Mr..
Stuck Is at present In Boise, serving
on the Federal grand jury. Follow
Ing the able example of your brother
In the law, Farley p. Christensen,
you might consult with Mr.. Stuck
and learn from him or his attorney
whether he would stand such action
