HIGH EXCITEMENT.
The Mormons ut Poor Mountain Are
Causing Trouble

NouSluS
Salem, July 3.-(Special) de
velopments of the Mormon trouble on
Poor Mountain, eight miles south of Sa-
lem, tend to still further increase the eX-
citement prevailing here. The case of
the Rev. B. H. Mcpherson, minister of
the Disciples Church, against James y.
Owens and VIM. Neighbors, charged
with assault and battery, was tried Thurs
day before Justice Miller, of Norwich.
The courtroom was packed with the Nor
mons and their sympathiZers, Mcpherson
having only two or three friends present.
The testimony of the aged minister was
that he had quietly taken his seat i'll the
church and was listening to the services,
conducted by the Mormon elder While
the elder was talking he took occasion to
say that Joseph Smith and Brigham
Young were deserving of equal credit
with Jesus Christ-that they were
prophets inbued with divine power and
sent into the world to reveal the will of
God to men. At this declaration Mr..
Mcpherson says that he smiled ut Il lady
FRIEND to show his disbelief in such
doctrines. The Mormon elder noticing
this then turned on him and told him
that he need not deny such statements,
Tor they were true-that Joseph Smith
and Brigham Young were each us much
po' az Jesus CHrlSu, ana lttSt as mucn
deserved to he worshipped. The elder
dared him to deny this, and Mr.. McPhor-
son says that he could not sit still and
allow such II challenge to the Christian
religion to remain unanswered. He
arose to reply, but was interrupted. and
Owens and Neighbors took hold of him
and forcibly put him out of the church.
The accused parties told quite a different
tale, and had witnesses to corroborate
their story. The case was dismissed mt
Mr.. McPherson's cost and then IL warrant
was sworn ont against him for interrupt
ing public worship. On this warrant he
was fined s.. 30 and costs. and the Nor
mons had won Il complete triumph Rev.
Mcpherson passed through Salem this
morning tramping it on foot. He said
that he had nothing with which to pay
his fine and had been told by the Nor
mons that it would be RENTED or paid
II he would leave the community En-
element here is still increasing Some
claim that Justice Miller was intimi-
dated, and on this account rendered the
decision he did. There is also talk of

vlction that the Mormons are allied
