Show IS IT POSSIBLE " H That a "Mormon-Eater" . .,- H Is Loose in Logan? Mr. Turner, tho business manager of jH tills Institution, has once or twice met IH tills on his rounds: "Isn't Moore a rab- iH Id "Mormon-eater?" Tho editor will )H reply by asking whether any Latter- iaLI day Saint of this vicinity has mystcr- jH iously disappeared since our advent in- IH to tills territory in December of 10 01? JH Has anyone caught us at the dead of tH hour of midnight or at noon with a IH leg In one hand, an arm in another and lH with blood dripping from our tusks? jH Or Is it felt that wo arc in tho habit ff of eating our "Mormons" roasted or IH stewed and that our cellar, instead of tJ being tilled with water as stated last jH week, Is piled up with the skeletons tf of our victims? Dear readers, Mooro H halls from Indiana and not tho FIJI H Islands. Indiana has produced such jf men as BcnJ. Harrison, Levi 1 Mor- H ton, Senators Fairbanks and Bovcr- H ridgoandour own .1. C. Walters; It, iH has also produced Ilvc-leggcd cows, the H man who beat Ills wlfo to death be- H causo she wouldn't kneel in prayer H with him, and pumpkins and hoop- JJ poles Is a favorite product, but wo H havo yet to hear of tho state prodtic- ing a cannibal. Tho nearest thing in, H that lino that Indiana ever produced H was the "Wild Man of Borneo," Bar- H num's drawing card for years. Tills. H wild man was one Graham, of Greene- fl county, who was led to indulge In tho- IH fake by a story from tho pen of W. M. . H Moss, present editor of tho Linton . Daily Call. Graham let his hair grow H long and mado himself into tho char- actcr and he has been the success tho v, H world knows. As a clincher to the ar- gument, is there anyone who has seen. our ft feet 10 Inches' and waist girth of 181 inches who believes that we man- age to storo away more than two or three of the Saints a week? Docs Mr. H Turner, who Is of the faith, look as H though scared to death for fear of be- H Ing torn limb fromllmbund devoured? By-the-way, Mr. Turner's avordupols. H would make fair picking for most any H carnivorous animal, yet by all that's H holy, we havo not been tempted. Wo . H believe that our landlady will be wll- H ling to sign a written statement that H at each meal we get on tho outside of not less than four pounds of steak, H thirty-nine biscuits, a half-peck of H potatoes and such other sundries as H pic, cake and ice-cream, and that for H ono sho behoves wo have little room H for anything between meals. Of course H we know the question asked of "Bro." Turner is not to be taken llterally.but H It Is hardly worthy of consideration in H any other way. When this paper H shows signs of an outbreak on our jH part; when the paper comes to you H covered with blood, and filled with H muttcrlngs against tho faith, then H cage us promptly, for this ono wolf H amongst the twenty-thousand lambs H in this community might work great |
