BELLE FOURCHE – Butte County officials have no idea why they have been receiving letters and boxes of books from the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and its imprisoned spiritual leader Warren S. Jeffs.

The latest was opened for the Jan. 3 county commission meeting. It included a warning, “Cincinnati shall soon be a destroyed city.”

It’s the fourth set of letters sent to the Butte County Commission, Butte County Sheriff Fred Lamphere and Butte County Auditor Elaine Jensen.

“There’s no cover letter, no nothing,” Jensen said. “But it’s our names and they’ve done well on their research.”
