Day in the Life

Mar 21, 1884

Journal Entry

March 21, 1884 ~ Friday

21 The sun shines & the snow is melting I spent the day in the
office [FIGURE] The salt Lake Tribune ^Editors^ Forged a sermon which
they published on Sunday Morning March 16, [18]84 and
published it as a verbatim report of a Discourse delivered
at Juab School House on Sunday March 9, 1884 by Bishop
West. There was no meeting held on that day there at all
and there was no Bishop West in the Church, and No bishop
by any name there. It was the most infamous forgery concocted
Either by Man or Devils all got up by the Editors of the
Tribune to injure the Saints and Govornor Eli H Murray
took a Bundle of them to Washington to circulate a[mo]ng the
Members of Congress to help destroy the Saints. The Deseret
News of March 19 has the whole account in it and comments
upon it and the Tribune of the 20 came out and recalled it
said they were imposed upon, and Men carrying on such
a game as that ought & will be damed.
