Brigham Young makes a publication
denying the truth of the confession
made by Lee, the Mountain Meadow
murderer. Lee throws the entire guilt
ON the Mormon church. Young says :
"Any statement duplicating me is ut
terly false. My course of life Is too
well known by thousands OF honorable
men, for them to believe for one mo-
ment such an account. The execution
will probably take place at noon to-
day. 1t ia not known whether the
firing will be done by the soldiers or
the marshals.
Atll a. III, precisely, Lee was brought
out upon the scene of the massacre, at
Mountain Meadows, before the exc
cutting party, and seated ON his coffin,
about twenty feet from the shooters.
After the order Of the court was read
to him and the company present by
Nj arshal Nelson, Lee made " speech
OF about five hundred words, bitterly
denouncing Brigham Young, and call
Ing himself II scapegoat for the sins
of others. He hoped God would be
merciful. He denied he was guilty Of
bloodshed to the last, and maintained
that his mission to Mountain Mead
ows was one of mercy.
After the speech, Parson Stokes,
Methodist, made prayer, committing
the soul OF the condemned men to God
Almighty.
Immediately after this handker-
chief was placed over Lees eyes. He
raised his hands and placed them on
the top of his head, sitting firm.
Marshal Nelson gave the word "Fire p
and five guns fired, the balls pene-
trating the body in the region OF the
heart. Lee fell square back upon his
cotlin-~dead. Death was instanta-
neous. The body was placed In the
coffin, and the crowd dispersed. There
were about seventy-five persons, all
told, on the ground. Not child or u
relative was there, The best of order
prevailed. Lees last words to Mar
shall Nelson were, calm at my heart"
The body is now on its way to be de.

hours, and now only three are faithful

About nine o'clock, a shot was heard
by the inmates Of The HERALp's edi.

on the street, and by inquiry learned,
that 1t took place In the opera-house.
Going up there, he found u rehearsal in
progress, and was also told that the
noise was occasioned by the firing OF a

that statement did not fully cover the

was fired, and 1t had a
bullet In 1t. The affair
occurred In this wise: There Ia scene

Justice in Colorado.

An incident Of an exhilarating and dra-
matte character was reported yesterday in a
despatch from Colorado as having varied the
monotony of the proceedings in court of
justice Of that part ofthe world. Some of the
citizens, it appears, went into Judge Deans
s'so-callcd court" and called upon him to
disperse himself and deliver up his books
and seal. Firing began soon after, and the
Judge held his lines long enough to clock
up the coveted books and seal and
then retreated successfully on George
town. This occurrence indicates, it will be
seen, the deep devotion Of tho people Of
that neighborhood to law and order. The
ground of their objection to Judge Dean is
seen in their designation Of the place where
he deals in justice as "a so-called court !"
and their determination to have justice
supplied to the people without adultera-
ton and at the lowest price naturally ex-
cites their hostility to any judge whose record
is cloudy. In fact, it seems to be the old
dispute between two sections OF society as
to which are the rogues and which are the
Judges, and on each side they are deter
mined to be judges if they can and try the
others rather than have the others be judges
and try them. We hope there will be fair
play and that the best shots may win.
