some months ago, for fear of arrests for high
crimes, turned up last night and for hours

marking that if gentle was in the place OF
Rockwell he would at once be dragged to prison
was outragcously abused by party of Mormon
policemen, one of whom threatened to cut his
heart out. General excitement ensued, many
gentiles hurredly armed themselves, and for
awhile serious collision was imminent. The
first blow, however, was not struck, and at
late hour quiet was restored. II is thought that
