Astounded by the reported plot to kid

Joseph F. Smith today zealously.
No intimation of the alleged bandit
conspiracy had been received by
church officials until news dispatches
arrived here last midnight. His fam
lily also was without information on
the subject, according to Bishop David
A. Smith, son of the Mormon presi-
dent.
This news is the most startling
and unexpected thing have heard in

had no previous intimation that such
plot existed. I am not prepared to
say that there Is no basis OF truth to
the plot, but am positive that it was
unknown to me until this moment"
According to reports in federal
circles, three or more outlaws had
planned the campaign Of crime from
holding up Yellowstone park stages
and Matchmaking prominent men to
kidnapping wealthy ranchmen and fin
ally President Smith. The same BAN

uted to the same gang.
