Show ' TWO MORE EXALTATIONS. There aro two other Mormon elders who aro clamoring for recognition in our list of new polygamists. And inasmuch inas-much ns Tho Tribune, contrary to the method of tho Deseret News and tho Mormon church, believes in doing oqual justice to all, the clamorers shall have their just due. Elder John Hardy was the first bishop bish-op of Pachcco, Mexico. He went down there from Utah at the time that tho Mexican colony was established ns a refuge for Mormon Melchisedck criminals. crim-inals. Ho was a polygamiat when he left Utah; but that was not enough to satisfy his yearning to "live his religion." reli-gion." So that in tho year 1S9S ho married as a third wife a Miss Sellers of Pachoco, and followed that-up with marrying a fourth, Miss Lizzie Butler, in tho year 1A04. Brother Hardy is not now bishop of Pachoco; but that is not on nccount of the fact that he is a new polygamist it is probably because he is not a new polygamist often enough. Elder Ezariah Brown is a resident of Hammond, New Mexico, but he was not always a citizen of that commonwealth. common-wealth. He onco lived at Dublan, Old Mexico, and nt t hut place in the year 1809 he took to himself n second wife. Our correspondent failed to send in the name of the young lady, but undoubtedly undoubt-edly it will bo made known upon ro-ccipt ro-ccipt of the next mail. These "few sporadic cases" of new polygamy in the Mormon church are of wondrous magnitude in number; but; they would be largely increased if we could get hold of the ten that remain hidden for every one that we havo exposed. |
