The War Department recently received
such reports from Utah of the feeling
among the Mormons, growing out of the
enforcement of the laws against polygamy,
that it was determined to send troops to
Salt Lake as precautionary measure. The
recent shooting of Mormon by = Q. S.
Marshal intensified the excitement, and
apprehension was felt at Salt Lake that
there would be an uprising. A battery OF
artillery was recently ordered from Omaha
to Fort Douglass, which is situated few
miles from Salt Lake City. This move
ment, however, was not particularly on
account of any fear of Mormon rebellion,
but had been in contemplation for some
time. The force now at Fort Douglass
consists of full regiment of infantry and
a battery of artillery, and is under COM
mand of General McCook. In the event
of trouble in Utah all the troops in the
Department of the Platte, consisting of
about 5000 men, could be concentrated At
Fort Douglass in very few hours No
serious trouble. however, is apprehended
by army officials A despatch received
from Salt Lake City last Sunday night
says that everything there is quiet, and
there is no probability of trouble.
