tory Of divers Mormon deserters, who left
Salt Lake City early in October. They

fur,hesallege that the mountain pass. At which
the Mormons will attempt to cheek the pro-

point Of view. will give them overwhelming
advantage that in their rebellion they will

that their ultimate design is to throw "f all

possible that the story told by these Mormon
