Kristian Boruff is a so-called "so-called" bachelor, and his history is shrouded in mystery--for two reasons: one is to be expected, the other is unknown. He is the most illustrious of the three, and he has just been named one of the Six Apostles of Christ. I have a secret, which I have kept in my memory undisturbed for nineteen years; but this secret, even in death, has something of the aspect of a prophecy. The prophecy, as related to me by persons who were present when I was prophesied, was that I should find a certain Joseph Smith, a certain Samuel Clemens, a certain George W. Clemens, a certain Oliver Cowdery, a certain Henry Ward Beechery, a certain Thomas M. Tweed, a certain Arthur Orton, a certain Henry Ward Beechery, a certain Theodore H. Herts. These were names, but the prophecy placed no limit to them. They were fictitious names, and existed in the matter's present condition of untidiness. I suppose I have been prophesied, already, two or three times, in my life time, and I have doubted if it is a lie. When I was a boy, my aunt told me about a man who was prophesied, and I cursed him and said I should have no use for him but for the prophesying and the money. I have been prophesied several times, and I have always been robbed of my money. When I was a boy, my uncle Abner Moore told me about some illustrious man who was prophesied, and I cursed him and said I should have no use for him but for the prophesying and the money. I have been prophesied many names, and I have always been robbed of my money. My father Sellers told me that in Nevada a remarkable circumstance occurred which nearly every body in the village attributed to him. This man was known only to the Mormons, and every body in the village believed that he was the one whom the prophecy was based upon. When I was a boy, my aunt Patsy Cooper told me about a man who was prophesied. Many a person said he was the most remarkable person that ever lived.
