ANTI MORMON" ROT.

Some time ago we referred, In these
columns. 10 one Hans p. Freeze, an in
dlvidual who seems to have made 1t his
mission 10 spread falsehoods broadcast
about the Church OF Jesus Christ OF
Iatter.day Saints. We notice again
communication which he has sent 10
the Usage News. published at Usage
Mitchell county, Iowa, Of November To-
In this communication he volunteers
the information that he was born a
Mormon but that he had come "un-
der Christian influence and has es-
capped the awfulness which trails In the
wake OF the Mormon system"
In order that our readers may be In a
position TO know what the apostles OF
nti-"Mormonism7 consider Chris
tIan Influence we copy few sem
fences from his communication. He
says In part:
lit is significant fact that In every
state where they 1.-THE MormonsI nave
settled. their doctrine has so shaped
their lives and actuated them TO such
deeds OF violence that the Gentiles
of the community have been forced 10
band themselves together for protec"
ton from the assaults OF the Nor
mons. In two states where the Nor
mons were numerically strong Mtssou-
ri and Illinois. It became necessary for
the Gentiles to call on the state author
tiles to protect them from the assaults
and ravages OF the Mormons. Even
90 ha NnTYnHnu
were driven from Nauvoo by the State
militia, the old settlers Of that region
are ever ready TO pour into tho listen
ing ear narrowing tales Of cruelties
and ildecencies practlsed By the Nor
mons But when we call 10 mind the
fact that the blacklist pages OF Nor
mon history have been written In Utah,
aud that their revolving indecencies
ana numbering OF hundreds Of Ameri-
can citizens, all occurred in Utah. IL
IL any wonder that American citizens ~
the Mormon infested districts appeal to
both church and state for redross?'
This clearly shows what kind of stuff
the nti-"Mormon' agitators rely on
for success In their persecution OF the
Church. II shows clearly what
kind OF men they consider qualified
for that kind OF work. They are
really below the notice Of respectable
men and women.
The allegations quoted need no refu-
tation. The Latter-day Saints are be-
fore the public, Their lives form, as
It were. an open book to any who cares
to read its pages, and the leaders OF
the Mormon" Church, as well as the
members can point with a great deal
Of satisfaction to the fruits OF "Mor-
monism" Morally and Intellectually
they compare fayorably with any re-
ngious community Of the present age
They need not fear a comparison. even
with their traducers, and It IL only
matter Of time when impartial history
will pronounce its verdict aud stamp
the proper brand upon the forehcads
Of all those who have engaged In the.
anti-"Mormon" crusades.

sand and gravel. and right at this point where bedrock was secured the volume of water was far in excess of that for miles up or down the river.
 The proposition is to build a dam 80 feet high. As earth and stone of ex- cellent quality can be secured in abun- dance on both sides of the site, the cost is thus materially reduced, and consequently 50,000 cubics yards ot earthwork would cost 5000 and 35,- 600 cubic yards of rock work would cost $105,000, or total of s130.000.
 The same base of costs can be made for outlet gates and spilway canals. A foot level, is formed by the contour of the hills on the northern side of the proposed reservoir, showing that at each 10-foot level there are two square miles covered by the 70-foot level, or narly 90,000 acre feet of water filled to that level.
 The drainage basin above the pro posed dam covers an area of somewhat over 1900 square miles, subjeca to more rainfall than any other section of Arizona, and all of this water passes down the river and finally into the Pacific ocean, useless for irrigation but damaging to the farms on the river bottom.
 The irrigable land which would be brought under such a reservoir is of an acreage beyond calculation without extensive survey.

camp was aroused and a movement was on foot to lynch him. Getting wind of this movement, the miner se- cured his pay and jumped the town. Superintendent YodnS immediately took charge of the two children and will adopt one himself, and writes to Governor Kibbey to find a home, if possible, for the other one. In order to adopt this girl, however. Governor Kibbey expects the family adopting her to be of honorable standing in the community and to be in a position to treat her kindly and give her an ed ucation. Of course, all the legal tech nicalities must also be complied with.
 The name of the miner who deserted these children was not given in the letter to the Governor. but the miners who are employed at tht Cananea and Globe camp are intensely angry at his vicious conduct and if he returns something will be doing over there that will be of lively, interesting character to him.

Feli Unconscious to Floor and Dies Before Medical Aid
 Gan Reach Him.

PRESCOTT, Dec. 27.-Last night, at s:s0 o'clock, J. o. Schlessinger, gen eral manager of the GazelIe Gold min ing company, died suddenly at his mining camp in the Bradshaw noun tains.
 Little of the particulars could be learned, but it is known that he was suddenly taken i'll in his office at his company's camp, a short distance from Harrington, and after falling to the floor unconscious, expired before relief could reach him.
 The immediate cause of death is thought to have been the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain.
 The deceased was mining engineer of many years experience in the Rocky Mountain region. He came here about three years ago from Denver, Colo. to assume the duties of the po- Isition he was filling at the time of his death. and was man who commanded the respect and confidence of all with whom he had any business dealings. lin addition to his other duties he served for a time as consulting en- gineer for the Tiger Gold company. re signing this position many months ago | to devote his entire attention to the degelopme nt of the properties of the Gazelle Gold company, in the future possibilities Of which he had great con fidence.
 Before coming to this Territory he was for number of years in charge of large mining operations in Colorado where he gained national reputation as mining engineer. He leaves nc immediate relatives in this section. all of his known relatives being residents lof Denver. A message was sent tc them late last night conveying the sad news of his death He was aged about l60 years. Funeral arrangements vii ibc announced lsteer.
