come from Dale county, Ala, that five
Mormon missionaries were severely
whipped and driven from the county
last Monday night. These men had
been holding meetings among the ignor-

formed a colony to go to Utah. This
had been carried on against the judg-
ment of the better class of citizens,
but no action to stop it was taken
Star advised the people to tar
and feather the Mormons and drive
them away This was enough. Mon
day night some forty of the SO-called
pest citizens of the northern part of the
county, without the slightest attempt at
disguise, surrounded the house of Gid
Irons, recent convert, who was enter
tanning the five missionaries. Without
delay they were brought out, stripped
to the waist and tied in row. Then
each of the regulators, with a long
switch, struck each prisoner sounding
blow. By the time the last blow was
given two of the men had tainted,
and the others were wet with blood.
After the whipping the mems legs
were given thick coating of tar and
feathers and they were warned to leave
instantly or suffer death. Irons was
told that if the Mormons were found in
his house again he, too, would he

consisting of 800 wagons, left Hume
well yesterday and is now water-bound
at the Salt Fork of the Arkansas, twenty
miles south of that city. in the territory.
While attempting to ford the swollen
and turbulent stream man named
Freithar and his horses were drowned
in full view of the frightened colo
nists, who were unable to render him
any assistance. The sad accident DEM
onstrated that fording was out of the
question, and the whole colony are now
engaged in the construction of huge
raft, upon which they hone to float over
30 the other side with their teams and
outfits. This afternoon 4S5 vehicles
containing colOnists bound for Okla
hOma from Salt Lake valley, Utah. and
points in Colorado, passed six miles
west Oh the southern journey. 1t is re-
ported that yesterday evening, while
crossing the strip, fight took place be-
tween cattlemen and boomers over some
fence cutting, and that four men were
killed, and that the trouble is not yet
over. The rumOr cannot be confirmed,
as some people who are supposed to
know of the trouble deny it, and are
dumb as oysters when the matter is
brOached
