A PARALLEL OF THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW
MASSACRE. -Thirty-two years have elapsed
since the mysterious disappearance of what
was termed the Montgomery train"-con-
sisting of eighty-seven families, OF wealth
and position, from the States and hundreds
of animals, en- route for California. They
were pursuing the old Mormon road in Utah
to the Pacific coast, guided by a Mormon
who, it is charged, had instructions to mis-
lead them and let them perish. Certain it is
that the immigrants were refused supplies on
the route, and, whether Intentionally or not
were misled and miserably persisted, aud no
definite details respecting their fate were ev-
or known. While the Kansas Pacific engi-
neers were exploring this unknown country
they came to region north of the old Nor
mon road, about thirty miles square, which
they aptly named "the valley of death" It
is surrounded except at two points by mac
cessible mountains. 1t is totally devoid of
water and vegetation and it is said the shad-
ow of bird or wild beast never darkens its
white, glaring sands. Not even the tarantu-
la or rattlesnake finds the means of subsis-
tence in this desolate alkali desert. To this
place the immigrants were led by their Nor
mon guide, who then left them to shift for
themselves mirage promising water, the
immigrants descended into the broad valley.
They reached the centre, but only the white
SAND, bounded Dy bcOTculnB peaks met
their gaze. Around the valley they wander
ed, and one by one stretched themselves in
death under the hot sun. The children, cry
ing for water, died at their mothers breasts,
and with swollen tongues and burning vitals
the mothers followed. Wagon after wagon
was abandoned, and strong men raved and
tottered and died. After a weeks wander
ing dozen of the survivors found some wa
ter in the hollow of mountain. 1t lasted
but short time, when all persisted but two,
who escaped by following the backward trail
When the engineers discovered the spot the
wagons still stood complete, the iron work
shone bright and the skeletons Of men and
beasts lay bleaching in the sun. This train
was the last that over attempted this route
to California though the most passable, its
travel was forbidden by the Mormon author
tiles. The fate of the Montgomery train"
was long involved in mystery. From oil that
| can now be learned there seems no doubt
that its destruction was resolved upon by the
! Mormon leaders because some of the immi-
grants had incurred the displeasure of the
| Inhabitants along tho route. 1t is a terrible
"Reminiscences of tho crimes that have dark
ened tie cutire record of civilization in that
unfortunate territory.

er with most of its contents, barn and other
buildings, and one hog A corn barn in which
was several hundred dollars worth of stating
stock, especially nails, was destroyed. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but it probably
was case of spontaneous combustion arising
in package of wooden stuff in the barn. Mr..
Bonds family lost most of their clothing, as
efforts by the citizens were mainly directed to
the safety of the two other dwellings on either
side of the burning building, and it is Won
derful they were able to save both with so
little damage. Mr.. Bonds loss is estima ted
at $500 above the insurance of $780,
