A striking feature Of many old Mormon
lots, public and private, is the massive
mud and stone wall, sometimes twelve
feet high, surrounding the buildings. IT'S

against the Indians, but when an erring
Gentle sees that these walls (Which could
only be afforded by the rich) enclose each
individual house, ind when he further
learns that in those good old days one man
not infrequently became possessed Of
another mans wife, he can but question,
