They professcd TO take them for the benefit Of the
Mormon church, and they gave Mr. Bell memoran-

down the quantities of things which they took but
these quantities stated incorrectly. Dir. Bell

Dmipg tie week Marianne, one Of The wive. of
Brigham loungs eldest son, Joseph. came TO call on
Mis- Bell and myself, ! Thick with the intention of
dissuading me from going away. Among other things,
she sad that WAS benz Mormon, who had say ed
my husbands life Oh July % Joseph Young, her
husband is rcpued to be in command with one of the
bands OF Mormons who ore now in arms against the
United States.
On or about Oct %, light carriage, drawn by
mules, was sent to take me away. / did not know
WHO, If On! body, was to accompany me- but ! found
three men with the carriage, John Harvey, Adam
Sharp ai d Joseph Sharp. People came odt to the
doors of all the houses around " see go off On
the route sat On the back seat with my child, and
either Harvey or one of the Sharps usually drove,
while the other two rode on horseback Before we
clear from the outskirts Of the city jesse Jones
and William Hickman caught up with US on horseback
AT some places on the road two men sat in front Of
ME instead of one and on two occasions they took
Mr.. Jones around mountains so as to prevent his OBJ
serving thirgs on tie regular road The mt time was
o. our sec, nd day out, about noon. At the place
wueIe they took him round / saw many MOrmons
armed. 1hey were on foot They had prisoner
there to whom Jones wen, TO speak: There was a
stream there which we crossed; | do not know its
name In size il was about large as Blacks Fork
Of Green River. They took him round again the same
evening, else the next day at stream again: in
valley. think il was the same stream. There saw
whit thought were ruins.
We passed through Echo Canon at night. They
put Jones in the wagon on our drive through it,. The
carriage being covered and my seat being at the back
and nv attention devoted to my child, II was mpossi-
bic for TO note accurately ANYTHING which we
passed on the journey. There was a Mormon camp at
each erd of Echo Canon, where there were mapy men
under arms.
My baby died on Saturday, October 81 On that day
we reached Fort Bridger. There we stopped some
time, but was kept shut up in the carriage all the
while. George Grant came TO the carriage there and
spoke to NE. William Hickman stopped there. His
younger brother, who had joined us in one OF the
Cunons, and the two Sharps, Harvey and Mlr. Jones
came on to Col. Alexanders camp with me, where we
arrived on Sunday, November j.
In Salt Lake, before left heard that all the
from the other Mormon settlements were collected and
c6mped on the Temple Square and that there was
large body Of MornOns in the Council House, ready
to move at moments notice. Iheard, also, that Brig
hum Young had preacheda sermon in the Square TO the
effect that bis people ought first to get rid of the Gen
tiles and then cut all the aposate Mormens hrOats.
All tie Gentiles left in the city about halfadozen in
number intended to depart for California by the mail,
which was to leave for there on November >. Mr.
Bell wantedto come East instead of going to California
but Brigham Young refused him permit. He sold his
stock to Brigham and the Mormon Church for lands in
Iowa. There is very small supply of groceries and
clothing il Salt Lake City but of such provisions as
are native products Of the Territory there is an
abundance.
In NY opinion the proportion Of the Mormons, who
would be glad of an opportunity to escape from the
auth, rity Of the Church, and who are privately OPP
posed t. the course which Brigham Young has adopted
toward the United States Government is about one
quarter of the men, and certainly One-ha'f of the
women. BE side the regular Mormon camp which
we pissed on our journey we met repeatedly small
parties of Mormons horseback, numbering, each
from five to fifteen Twenty NEIL the last of them
within five or Elk miles Of Col. Alexander camp
Mr.. Bell tod me- before left, that Mr.. Jones and
myse were sent out by the Mormons for the purpose
Of getting Dr. HickI released and sent back to Salt
