Show Tbl'th verscs Fiction. In the Evening Journal of Friday, appeared the following: .The recent i-fLur at Lchi, while worked npon th same system, proved to be a eource of profit to the church as well as " sweet Yciigeccce." The Mormon authoring at Lehi find a, ccnileman oaincd Kank, a superintendent superinten-dent for L)urant it Cutiioe', eick in his room; ihcy send a Mormon "doctor"' who declares that he has emall-pox and proceeds at once to " lay bands on" the pocket of the patient in tbe rjio-l approved manner by compelling him to build a bone away from the town, keeping hiui confined in the cold and forcing hitn to pay all eipcose?. Kortuniuiy fur Mr. Kaok he had Gentile frknls and they saved bis life by sending tor competent medical advice. The disease was measles and the man is entirely well to-day. All this occurred within a week. Again wo a.-k, how loDg ? To sample tho sensational items of the paper which furaishea its readers Bnch pabulum, ad'inrinilum, and with Washington correspondence manufactured manufac-tured in its back closet, a la Chicago Journal, we call attention to the items below given by Mr. Rink, who called at the Heuald office ye&terday, in company with Mr. Cutting. In alluding allud-ing to the siatt-ment of the '"Pee Wee," Mr. Kank said: "The fact are : grossly mi-r p-esc ted. I was not forc-d away from a y hoo.se by the Mormon au.horilics. Dr. Benedict happened to h' at Lchi and was requested re-quested by a fri-rii l of mine to come and sue m?, which he did, and pronounced pro-nounced the diea-i'! to bj sujall-pox. Tho hou?c to which I was then removed re-moved was built by Messrs. Dun nt & Cutting, and 1 wai juoved thereby my friends and wa-i cared fr by them. The Mormon authorities had nothing j to do with the matter and did not : interfere with it in any manner'" Mr. Hunk further stated that, finally, feeling a-ssured that the disease was not small-pox, he telegraphed for Dr. Fowler, who went down and pronounced it measles. To notice and contradict the daily issue of falsehoods aod exaggerated statements of the "Fee Wee," irom stem to etern, from leader to local, would require more time Rnd space than would buy out the concrn. |
