TRIBUNE FAKE STARTED
That syracuse Letter Now Bobs Up in
Washington, ID. O.. With the
Usual Trimmings.

When a fight is started against
commonwealth and the peace and hap
piness of a large portion of its people,
have they a right to expect that stories
sent ont by fellow members OF the
community, to blacken the character
and integrity OF the rest, shall contain
at least a resemblance to truth?
The-source here which has long been
accustomed TO reckiessly falling to hesi-
tate in making use of the most harm
less facts when ii can twist them into
an appearance of evil and send them
out for the consumption of uniformed
people, Is again at work and this over
its published and repeated denial that 1t
Is so engaged.
The following special dispatch from
Washington, ID. c., reports as breaking
out in another place, the recently eX-
ploded story from Syracuse that let
ter was read there in a Mormon meet
Ing looking to the reestablishnlent of
pogamous living as a Church propa-
ganda,
The Washington special dated today,
reads as follows:
"A local newspaper today prlntes an
interview with n mythical person des-
ignated as Phillip n. Nelson, said to
be registered at the Cochran's hotel,
in which Nelson Is quoted as saying
that an assistant president OF the
Mormon church had recently, through
a communication of a semi-secret ma
ture, promised members OF the Church
that certain revelations and principles,
laid aside for time would shortly be
resumed. "This,' added Mr.. Nelson,
lis construed to mean revival OF po-
lygamy and threat to drive from the
Church nonItithepayers. II bears
the signature of Joseph #. Smith,
president of the Church, and Anthem

counselors Many Mormons declare

He succeeded in drawing $4,000
from his deposit of $1,000, according

for q previous swindle, amounting TO

plice. Smith refused to say word
