A WOMAN RESCUED FROM THE MoRMoNs.-A
company of returning Pixies Peakers passed
through here last Sunday, having under their
protection young lady whom they had taken
from a Mormon train, q few miles west OF New
ton, short time previous. 1t appears that on
last Sunday morning, as the Pixies Peak boys
were crossing Skunk Bottom, they passed tram
of Mormons, who were busily eDgaged-men,
women and children-in endeavoring to extri-
cate number of their wagons that were Stuch
fast in the mud. While stopping for g moihenU
to witness the exertions OF the SAINTS, they az
cidentally overheard young girl, OF a9out - :,
exclaim, III wish was drowned IN tnaV sio.e
Their interest was at once awakened "nu 10y
interrogated her as to why she maue suo,i q
foolish wish. She replied that she was tlreo Oh
Iifo that che had started from Iowa City tor
Salt Lake with her father who is Mormon Ell,
dor. that she had been compelled to walk all
the wav fins far. and that when she expressed
=, wish To leave the train and return to the city,
thew invariably stopped her mouth. She was
informed BY the Peakers that if she desired to
return to Iowa City, she could go back with
them, to which she replied that she desired very
much to return. The Mormons, numbering some
fifty men, gathered around, armed with guns,
knives. pistols &C., and declared that she should
not go back.
The Peak boys, nothing daunted, armed them,
selves with guns and revolyers, and announced
their determination TO take the girl at all hazards
and proceeded to carry out their Intentions
For time fight seemed inevitable, but finally
Mormon courage gave way, and the boys sue
ceeded in placing the girl safely under their own
protection She then informed them that the
Saints had q trunk and other baggage belonging
to her, which they at once proceeded to obtain.
The followers of Brigham boldly announced their
intention to fight before they would permit the
things to be taken from their wagons
A show of guns and reyolyers, however, cool
ed their ardor, and Mormon courage oozed out
at their fingers ends, while the boys proceeded
to transfer the baggage to their own wagons
the Saints looking on and uttering terrible i'm
precautions against the perpetrators of the hor-
rid outrage, as they termed it. After obtaining
all they sought, the rescuers drove away with
the young lady in their possession, leaving the
MormOns to console themselves as best they
could in their loss.
The Pixies Peskers who were engaged in the
rescue, who numbered only about % men, were
from Indiana, Illinois and Iowa City.-I01oG
