vently wished and prayed for years, and
the bones Of the slaughtered people borne
By the freshet down and strewn along
the wash. About mile and half from
this spot, at the side Of the road, beneath
a cedar bush, are buried the remains Of
a man and woman, and by displacing a
few Of the stoned piled over them, the
skull OF the woman, with bullet.hole in
it, is exposed to view. The bones at the
meadows are, owing to the elements,
being uncovered. and many are exposed.
The Government should have these
bones reburied and the spot where they
rest protected, not alone for the sake Of
humanity, but also for the awe and dread
the Mormons hold it. Many are the
stories told about it, some Of which are
pathetic and interesting, but it is rarely
that the people will talk of them, and
then only after you have gained their
confidence.
