party Of MOmOns, eight III number, headed by
q man named Groesbeck, entered the camp on the
StA inst. This Groesbeck was the conductor of the
Church train which eyaded the troops last October.
He sold his wagons at Platte Bridge, and packed
The mules with AZ great part of the contents as
they could carry, caching the rest somewhere near
the bridge. Thus equipped he diyerged from the
main road and reached Salt Lake City by the Bitter
Creek route The train is believed 10 have been
loaded with dry goods, groceries and gunpoWder
and the object Of Groesbecks present expedition is
said to be to unearth the cache, and bring in the
remainder of his freight. His men behaved in u
very unseemly manner IN the envlrons Of the camp,
some of them bcasting of their completely IN

named Hogland son OF the Mormon Bishop OF the
Eleventh Ward of Salt Lake City, wore on his belt

Without questioning the prOprety OF Mr.. Carriers
decision in this instance, il may well be questioned
how far the absolution granted by the Presidents
pardon extends Does il cover the murder of
