Smoot took the stand in bis .own be
half this morning. He stated he was
born In Salt Lake January 10, 1862,
of Abram and Anna K. Smqot.' both
Mormons, aad the latter -a plural
wife. He' was married September 17,
1884, tn the temple at Logan to Alpha
M. Elders, by whom he had six child
ren. Had no other wife, and had co
habited wlia no ether woman. When
18 he took the ndewinent'cerenunyj
at his father's urgent request. Had
never takes it since, and coald not, If
he would, give the details.
He denied ithere is anything in the
endowment obligation about "ven
geance." aud was surprised that such
statements should have been made.
as Joseph Smith formulated the obli
gation and it had never been chang
ed, and Smith would hardly call for
vengeance tm ;aeeoMnst of tits death
when still alive.
In 1872 Smoot moved to Provo,
Utah, where he has lived ever since.
He was coanseHvr t President Smith
for five years, and In 1900 became an
apostle. "I took oath as such,"
he declared, "and when I later took
the oath as TJritted States senator
there waa no mental reservation, and
there has been nothing In my past to
hamper my work here."

and so announced. At a public meet
ing prior to that he bad asked the
president of the church If be had any
objections, and for leave of absence
so that his duties as senator would
not Interfere with bis duties to the
church. The request was -granted.
Then he organized his campaign with
which the church had nothing to do.
In answer to a question the witness
said. "As senator I would vote just
the way I thought best for the country-
It is not the business of the
church how I vote, and I would not
submit to any such decision."
. Smith a Potygamist.
Smoot knew that President Smith
had several wives, but did not know
his relations with them since the man
ifesto. At the . time of the manifesto
there was an indefinite understanding
between the Gentiles and Mormons
that existing cases of polygamy would
not be disturbed, and the practice
would be allowed to die out.

Captains Doydloff and Karhoff, and
Lieutenants Joutalssoff, Perelbonoff

There Is a strong probability that

Scarcity of fat cattle is causing the

spring opens up the murket will go

There are more than 50110 head of

the first carloads will begin to move

A recent shipment of cattle to Seat

The damp weather of the present

this with delight, for It lessens the cost
of fattening, Inasmuch as the stock Is
in better condition when It reaches the

One Year for Struinbaiigb. '
Tears streamed down the cheeks of
Leonard Strumbaugh aa he stood in
the prisoner's dock In the state clr
Hult court this morning and received
a sentence of one year in the peniten
tiary. It was not the' thought of 13
months tha he must spend behind the
prison ..wuJIa. . that . caused young.
Strumbaugh to weep; It was not the
disgrace attached to his crime, nor
was It the fact that .It was his own
brother who caused his arrest; but It
was the lecture of the court In pass
ing sentence.
"I am going to give you the lowest
sentence provided," said the court-.
"You are b young man, and the doors,
of the penitentiary are not a very de
sirable entrance Into life. As one who
has boys of his own. I feel deeply the
sorrow your acts must cause your'
parents, If you have any. To see you
an honorable, upright man Is their de
sire, and I hope that when you walk
forth from prison that It will be with
the firm 'resolve to earn tin honest;
living."
Young Strumbuugh forged nn or

whereby he obtained goods from a lo
cal store.

Dunn Sentenced.
A. R. Dunn, convicted of robbing
William Hrummett, was sentenced to
two years In the state penitentiary.
Dunn admitted on the witness stand
that he followed gambling and horse
racing. He contrasted sharply with
Strumbnugh In appearance, dress and
intellect. 'He told the court In a few
well-chosen words that he was well
aware that he had been tried by a falr
and Impartial Jury and that he must
serve a sentence In the penitentiary,
but asked that the court be as lenient
as possible.
Judge Ellis remarked, In passing
sentence, that he could not commend
an avocation such as Dunn had been
following, and that a man of his ap
parent Intelligence and education, if"
he would turn hla attention to more
honorable pursuits, would be a valua
ble addition to society. "I make the
sentence lighter than I otherwise
would had not the Jury recommended
mercy." f
