Polygamists Fail To Reclaim Land In Southern Utah
A group led by Alex Joseph attempts to homestead 36,000 acres in southern Utah but land filings are rejected as they were under a repealed act. Joseph and followers filed applications in Kanab for land along Cottonwood Wash and Nipples Beach with sites eyed for a coal burning panel project. Judge Aldo Anderson last month ordered Joseph and about 20 followers to vacate.
