NEW YORK TIMES, Feb. 28, 1874
* Mormonism - polygamy ? - Mormons
The front page begins with a half-column article: "Execution of The Laws In Utah - A Bill Reported from the Committee on Territories--Severe Provisions Against the 'Peculiar Institution' ".
One bit near the beginning mentions: "...There would seem to be little more needed than this bill to crush out not only polygamy, but Mormon life and property, in Utah. If the bill were directed toward any other than a Mormon Territory it would be considered most extraordinary..." with much more.
Eight pages, four binding holes at the left side one of which affects just two words in this article, otherwise great condition.
