Jasper County Democrat, Volume 8, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 September 1905 — Another Scandal Brewing. [ARTICLE]

Another Scandal Brewing.

There is great strife in Utah between the Mormons and the gentiles over the settlement of the Uintah Indian reservation, which will soon be thrown open to the public. Members of the Mormon hierarchy have written letters advising brethren who desire to settle on these lands to do business with the presidency at Heber City, Utah. These communications state that certain Mormons have “land office connections” which will be of value to those of the church who desire to enter upon the Uintah lands. This would indicate that another scandal is brewing and that some Republican politicians are helping the Mormons to retain their hold on Utah. But whether the quid pro quo is to be offices or cash has not yet been developed.
