on Saturday. Aug 2s. the Mormon
Elders appeared in the square and
spoke to the people Soon Lumby and
Wood. followed by others came upon
the scene Elder Crofts was speaking.
He was rudcly interrupted by Lumby
and this was the signal OF general con
fusion This continued until police
officers dispersed the disorderly crowd.
Mr. Lumby's parting shot at the Elders
was:
''You took 200 women from Eng

Such is the nature of the silly stories
nu-"Mormons" in England tell tho
people IN order TO excite the ignorant
to violence. But they have emanated
from the anti-"Mormon" center in this
city. IL is evident. however. that the
enlightened men and women take no
stock in those stories. The reporter Of
the Keighly Herald certainly laughs
them 20 scorn. and contribution TO
the same paper, under the nom de
plume Of Secularist. engages In a de-
tense OF the Elders. Il is evident that
the controversy is drawing a great deal
OF attention, and that some are investi-
eating and finding the truth.
