A HUMBUG MIRACLE.

If there can be any such thing as a
wonderless miracle, Apostle Heber j.
Grant happened to think it up while
talking to the saints at the Cache stake
conference last week. According to
the Logan Journal S report Mr.. Grant
delivered himself thus:
He related the instance of President
Joseph w. McMurrin being shot and re-
wounds after being blessed by his breth-
rem and promised that he should recover
IL was miracle. he said and he rejoiced
greatly that the power TO perform such
miracles was In the church.
If faith in miracles depended entirely
upon tho "miracle - performed in the
case of Elder McMurrin, there could
be no faith in miracles And for the
simple reason that Elder McMurrln and
miracles are total strangers. The facts
are that Joe was a DANTE defender of
the lawless ones of the church, and that
at one time the United States Marshal
and his deputies here made matters
rather warm for criminals of the polyg
calling enforcement of the law Fperse-
cution for religion IS sake and on that
account constituted himself one of the
avengers There was one certain deputy
United States Marshal named Collin, for
whom Elder McMurrin entertained no
small hatred. Elder McMurrin and
other thugs of his own choosing way
laid Collin on one dark night at Social
Hall alley. Ut is Just north and across
the street east of the Salt Lake theater,
as it was then). The plan Of McMurrin
mlscarred, because instead of giving
Collin the beating nigh unto death that
was intended, Elder McMurrin received
Hrun-around' bullet wound In the
abdomen. Subsequently Elder McMur-
rim was wanted in court to tell how
the thing happened; but he was spirited
away under the certificate of willing
physician to the effect that his procure
ment before the court would entail fatal
consequences. At the same time the
wound was not so sufficiently danger
Gus as to prevent his removal here and
there, at any and all times, to escape
the process of the law.
But the cause for Apostle Grant s
reference to the case as being an eN-
emplification of the miraculous was un-
doubtedly due to the fact that the GRIM
inals whom McMurrin had sought to
"vindicate in personal act of thug
ism promi sed ham life because he had
defended "the Lords anointed. " Joe
McMurrin was merely scratched, so to
speak, but Grant and the other takers
would have it appear that he was fatal"
lv wounded and miraculously' healed.
The wonder is that Apostle Grant dld
not continue along the usual line by
saving that the murderous McMurrih
was one of the prosecuted ones IN the
cause of religion, and that for the same
sake he was near martyr.

MIR. FRAZER DENIES.

The Tribune is in receipt of letter
from Mr.. Henry Frazer, superintendent
of the Beaver Equitable Coop store,
desiring us to make correction in the
matter which we printed concerning the
new polygamous activities of Doctor
McGregor, counselor to the bishop of
the Beaver East ward
This paper takes pleasure in setting
the matter right upon the word Of Mr..
Frazer, feeling that he would in no
way attempt to mislead US. and recog-
nizing his full right to the correction
and explanation which we make. In
our article concerning Doctor McGregor
we stated that the doctor was particu
larly attentive TO a young lady clerk
in the Coop store, and that the super.
intendent of that institution often
found her attention monopolized by the
polygamy loving doctor and counselor.
MI Frazer declares that he has Hnever
even intimated that her reward was
found in the doctor counselor en-
Brace We know that Mr.. Frazer will
realize that IN such cases newspaper
is bound to depend altogether upon
what people of the neigbborhood say;
and we feel that he will attribute what
ever error was made in this matter to
public talk and not to any intent on
our part to misrepresent him in any
manner whatsoever. Such eases are
usually so submerged under secret meth
ods that it is indeed wonderful that The
Tribune has not made greater number
of errors in reporting them than it has
done. We have ordinarily been very
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-08-05

fortunate in that respect, and where
public talk has caused us to commit
error in this case it is misfortune,
and not the result Of deliberate inten-
tion to err.
Mr. F'razcr's letter is confined solely
to the named mistake, and he has not
made any attempt to deny tho report
of Doctor McGregor's s new polygamy
from which we infer that he is of the
honest class who do not view these
activities with any degree OF favor.

THE BUcKHoLDT OMISSION.

There is one name that The Tribune
has heretofore omitted from the new
polygamous roll Of dishonor, although
tho story of the elder misdoings had
been told in this paper over two years
ago. We had simply overlooked the
elder, and feel that he will take it as
a rather distinguished amend to have
his case briefly described all by itself.
Elder William Buckholdt was
formerly a resident of Nephi, Utah, as
the people down there will undoubtedly
recall. Long after the Woodruff mani
festo of 1890 was issued, when Elder
Buckholdt and all the other Melchise-
deks are supposed to have promised
that they would refrain from polyg-
amous marriages, he was called on
a mission to Denmark. In order TO
procure money to pay his mission ex
pcnses he mortgaged the little family
home at Ncphi. subsequently losing il
on account of inability to lift the
mortgage, His wife then went to
Provo to live, and when Buckholdt re-
'ui uNd liolb mo DdHiSu liloSluu out WAS
surprised and shocked to see him ac-
companied by buxom Danish lass,
whom he introduced into the family as
his plural wife.
Buekholdt ism t the first Mormon
missionary who has turned a trick of
that sort, or even worse, and he will
not be the last one so long as Joseph
f. Smith is alive and remains at the
head of the church,

TALKS TAX TO
LINN COUNTY
CHANGERS

On January 1, 1910, the Lynn
county council met in the hall OF
Fairmount Grange in North Albany.
The attendance was good consider
ing the condition of the roads which
were very roNgh. The day was
bright and the air was cold. Six
oranges We're represented by regu-
larly appointed delegates, and a
large number of visitors were per-
mitted to exchange greetings with
each other The morning session
was consumed in the hearing of re-
ports of committees after which the
annual election of officers took place
and resulted as follows;
President M. F. Wood; vice pres
ident, Sol Lindley; lecturer, A. G.
Miller; chaplain, Lyman Markham;
secretary, q. L. Dyer; G. K, t. J..
Risley; agent, H. g. Powell
The election of officers was fol-
lowed by a recess for one hour,
when all present accepted an invita-
tion to gather around three tables
which were we'll laden with every
thing necessary to tempt the appe-
tite OF hungry grangers and the
hour was spent in visiting and So
cial enjoyment.
In the afternoon a business ses-
sion WITS held and a resolution was
passed asking the county to make
more liberal appropriation for
rod purposes.
The remainder or the session was
public and Hon. d. B. Mcknight, as
SCISSOR OF Linn county, gave a very
interesting address on the subject,
Taxation" He explained the way
which had been adopted to increase
the assessed valuation of timber
lnds, railroads, telegraph and tele-
materially assist the farmers and
others in bearing the expenses OF
the state and county. The speaker
occupied near an hour and half,
and closed by reading an excellent
paper bearing on the subject he had
been discussing; and giving the
grange much credit for the part 1t
has taken in the passage of many
laws which has tended to relieve
them of unjust taxation. His re-
marks received the closest atten-
tion, showing that he had his sub
iect we'll outlined, and his ability to
put his thoughts into words and eX-
press them intelligently.

gon, WAS present and expressed HIM
