ONE OF MANY.

Below we quote verbatim from a letter re-
ceived from gentleman living at Twin Falls.
: This is one of many letters which The Scimitar
receives constantly, and those which come
from Southern Idaho, where the Mormons
live, universally breathe the same sentiment
We withhold the name of the writer of the
letter:
Twin Falls, Idaho, April 4, 1908.
Idaho Scimitar-Sir: Enclosed please find
personal check for $2.0O, which is due you for
my subscription OF your paper.

for the fight it is making against the "helliSh"
practice taught by the Mormon hierarchy. !

| can truthfully say that the Gentle people of
of this section feel that your paper is the long
wished for medium to convey to the general
public the much hated practices and teachings
of the Mormon church.
With best wishes for the success Of youi

Ever since The Scimitar appeared on the scene as
journal of information it has been giving the public
unquestonable evidence of the existence of poygamy
in the Mormon settlements of the state In this issue
will be found number of new cases. 1t is probable
that the defenders of crime will continue to assert
that polygamy is thing of the past and is not now
practiced or countenanced by the church
The Scimitar cannot prevent these people from
filling the public ear with concocted untruths But
it can keep right proving the falsity of their
position and the unreiabty of their utterances

Henry WatterSon, of the Louisville Courier-Jou
nal calling at the White House week so ago,
told Mr. Roosevelt that he had been personally &C
quainted during their incumbency, with all the Presi-
dents of the United States since John Quincy Adams
and that he knew Adams after he had retired from
the Presidency Andrew Jackson succeeded John
Quincy Adams and served from 1929 to 1887,
firing seventyone years ago. Mr.. Waterson convicts
himself of being an old man.

New Polygamy Cases.

Late in January last, the Salt Lake Tribune pub
lshed an account of the death of child of John
F. and Florence Porter Burton, at Ogden, and
through that afilction it was ascertaned that the
mother of the child was the polygamous wife of John
F. Burton, to whom she married ten years after
the Woodruff manifesto. The Scimitar reproduced
the information the time. 1t is in receipt of
corroberating letter. which will be better understood
by giving portion of The Tribune article of Janu-
airy last, which reads follows:
John F. Burton is a son of w. w. Burton of
Ogden, three-ply polygamist and wel-known. John
is stockman. For several years he was foreman
of the Backfoot Stock Company, near Soda Springs
Idaho, where he kept his two wives. He holds the
priesthood in the church, but being an uneducated
man has not held any important ecclesiastical station.
His first wife Eta Porter, a daughter of
Chauncey Porter, formerly of Star Valley, Wyoming,
a noted refuge for polygamists. Eta has had
children. Florence Fawn Porter is sister of
Eta. Muzetta, the child who died last monh at the
age of five years, daughter of Florence by
John F. Burton. Florence about 10 years of age
when the Woodruff manifesto was issued. She is
therefore about % years of age at this time. Eta
married about 1896 Florence was married III
polygany about 1900, when she about 20 years
of age, possibly two years younger
The marriage, of Florence Porter, to her sisters
husband probably consummated in the Logan
temple at Alton in Star Valley.
SneHcy, lQdnO, Aprll 19UO-lO The 1QdIIO SClIll-
tar In relation to the oft-repeated statement of the
Mormon press that there has been polygany andno
po1ygamous living since the Woodruff manifesto,
call attention to the above extract from the Salt
Lake Tribune of January 27
I will further say that [ have known the Porter
girls for years. They and my wife were girls to-
getfer and I have known Eta since she married
Burton and know several of the statements in the
Tribune to be true.
About year ago near relative took dinner with
us and told us Eta and Florence were both married
to one man and living at Star Valley. l commenced
to question him further to the OF their nus
band what town they lived in, etc. But he positively
refused to be interviewed further and soon as ne
found was not member of the Mormon church,
he tried to retract and said he guessed he had al
ready said too much.
The aunt of the Porter girls is also living in poly
gamy at Iona Idaho she being the first wife OF Ed
ward Crofts and has no children Lizzie Crofts is
the second wife, with nine children, SIX having
been born since the manifesto. Esther Crotts, the
third wife has seven children five having been Dorm
