Show THE BUOKHOLDT OMISSION. There is one name that Tho Tribune has heretofore omitted from tho now polygamous roll of dishonor, although tho story of tho cider's misdoings had been told in this paper over two years ago. Wo had simply overlooked the elder, and feel that he will take it as a rathor distinguished amend to have his case briefly described all by itself. Elder x Wiiliam Buckholdt was formerly a resident of Nephi, Utah, as the people down there will undoubtedly recall. Long after the Woodruff manifesto mani-festo of 1890 was issued, when Elder Buckholdt and all tho other Melchisc-deks Melchisc-deks are supposed to havo promised that thoy would refruiu from polygamous polyg-amous marriages, he was called on a mission to Denmark. Iu order to procure money to pay his mission ex peuses he mortgaged the little family home at Nephi, subsequently losing it on account of inability to lift the mortgage. His wifo then went to Provo to live, and when Buckholdt returned re-turned from his Danish mission she was surprised and shocked to see him accompanied ac-companied by a buxom Danish lass, whom ho introduced into tho family as his plural wife. Buckholdt isn't tho first Mormon missionary who has turned a trick of that sort, or oven worso, and ho will not be tho last one so long as Joseph F. Smith is alive and remains at the head of the church. |
