Our informant states that during his So

ted with a loquacious Irish Mormon, who,
upon one occasion got on spree and became
very communicative. Amongst many other
curious revelations, this talkative Irishman
leaked out the fact, that the Mormons all car
ried a private mark upon their under cloth

from the Gentiles. In proof of this state
ment, the Irishman proceeded to open his
outer garments, and upon his undershirt

that when the Indians attacked a train they
invariably looked out for this talisman, and
fit did not appear, the party were instantly
