getting into trouble. Recently two boats load

Lake Michigan, to Pine River settlement, on
the michigan shore, with the sheriff of the
county, to summon, as they say. a jury to at
tend the court at Bever Island, which is the
shire town of the new county, in that vicinity,
They did this, they say, that there might be

habitants Of pine river did not regard the visit
as thus harmless in its character, and drove the
Mormons from the settlement, and followed
them down the river into Grand Traverse Bay,
firing upoo them and wounding a number
quite seriously. The fugitives were finally
rescued from destruction by being taken on
board vessel which proviien,ially lay be.
