SALT LAKE CRY, Oct. 27, 1871.
1t is stated in official circles that Brigham
Young left on Tuesday evening last for the
South. Yesterday he was said to have been
12O miles south of this city, with his course
still onward. 1t is not known to what point
he is bound. Many think that he intends to
leave the country, but think
HE WILL FIND REFUGE
in st. George, village 800 miles from here
and about fifteen days from the Court It is
certainly doubtful whether he will appear for
trial on the indictment on which he was ar
rested, and it is doubtful, too, whether the
Head of the Church will be seen again here
until the trouble is over.
Delegate Hooper has gone to Washington
to see President Grant and to endeavor to
effect some
BASIS FOR COMPROMISE,
by which the United States authorities here,
judicial and executive, shall be restrained or
removed. The Church is in the greatest fer
ment; Hooper in Washington, Cannon in San
Francisco, Brigham Young in the South-all
slipping off secretly and without the knowl-
edge of the people. Hooper hopes to accom-
plish everything with the President.
THE TRIALS ARE TO BE DISCONTINUED
if he succeeds, and some sort of promise of
reformation for the future is to be made.
The officials here are on the alert There is
something mysterious in the wind, and an
ters. Mayor Wells is at his post, and practi-
cally head of the community to-day.
The coming days will be full of interest to
the country.
More Arrests-Mayor Wells and Ex-Attorney
General Stout in the Toils-Orson Hyde. q
Fugitive from Justice.
SALT LAKE CRY, Oct. 20, 1871.
Daniel Fl. Wells, Mayor of tAe City, Hoza
Stout formerly General of the Territory,
and William Belden, of Kimbals' Hotel,
Farley Canyon, were arrested to-day by United
States Marshal Patrick upon the indictment
Of the Grand Jury, charging them with
murder.
Tom Fitch made application to admit them
to bail, which application will be heard on
Monday ming The prisoners were placed
in carriage and taken to Camp Douglass.
Some slight excitement prevailed at the
Marshals Office, while the accused were
there waiting for q conveyance to
the camp, some policemen saying they
should not 60 to prison if they did not wish
to, and one or two women calling out to the
officers to stake them if they dared" and
''they would fight them with vengeance, +"
&c. The officers, however, were firm, and
nothing serious happened. The alleged crime
consists in the killing Of Richard Yates and a
man named Buck several years ago.
A warrant was out for the arrest Of Orson
Hyde, one of the twelve apostles, upon the
same charge, but he eluded the deputies who
were sent to arrest him. He was pursued to
the southern part of the Territory,
A man named Bennett was found murdered
on the stage road, about eight miles from the
city, this morning, with four bullets in his
body.
Warrants Issued for the Arrest Of Brigham
YOUNG and His SON Joseph ON Charge of
NTurder-A DANTE Turns States Evidence.
SALT LAKE CRY, Oct 2s, 1871.
Warrants are out for the arrest of Brigham
Young and his son, Joseph A. Young, on
charge of murder in having ordered the killing
of Richard Yates. The indictments on all these
murder cases are understood TO be founded upon
the testimony Of Bill Hickman, who was once
what is termed by the Gentiles 'Danite," or
secret agent of the Mormon authorities. Yates
visited the Mormon camp during the rebellion
Of 1857, ostensibly to sell powder. The Nor
mons regarded him as a spy and, some weeks
afterwards, arrested him and placed him in
the custody Of Hickman, to be taken to
Salt Lake City. d. Wells then COM
manded the Mormon troops, and Hosea
Stout was Judge Advocate. On the way
to Salt Lake City he killed Yates, az
