days ago returned, believing the storm to have
blown over. However, the people who warned
them proposed to make the threats good. For
~ men, masked and robed in white, Thursday
night visited the houses of William Barrett,
Thomas Smith and Lee Barrett, where the ell

given them warning and not an elder was to be
found. These men were eau toned against al

KY, has had a beneficial effect. She went to
Utah as a convert, but is back in her old home
