TROUBLE IN SALT LAKE CITY
FEARING A MORMON OUTBREAK.
SECRET MEETINGS HELD AND EXTREME MEASURES
RECOMMENDED.


RECOMMENDED.
SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 6 (Spec,ah. The true
cause Of the call for troops at this point Is the
fear or Mormon outbreak. For some time the
Government has been prosecuting the Mormons
for polygamy. and many prominent men have been
sent to the Territorial Pententary Secret meetings
have been held by the Mormons and the report camo
TO the United States authorities that they obliz
ing and contemplating insurrection. 1t fs
definitely known that a number OF secret meetings
have been held here and nc other points in the
Territory and that the most extreme measures have
been recommended. The blind hatred OF the Mormon
leaders is directed against the officers OF the United
States courts and 1t fear Of riot and assassination
that caused the call for troops
The announcement that soldiers on the way here
has caused great excitement and has produced soothing
effect on tho Mormons
eALr LAKE CITY, Dec. (Press).-An is quiet here
and there ia no probability OF trouble arising The pre-
cautions for the preservation OF life and property are
ample The action OF Governor Murray and
Geuera sicCook in reporting the threatening situation
here and getting authority station troops in the city
and the ordering of reinforcement here have removed
oil apprehensons for the present.
MoMurrn who supposed to have been fatally shot
by Deputy Marshal Collin, Is recovering.
