THE AGENTS STORY.
Evident That the Indians Contem-
plated a Massacre.


Walker, Mimi, Oct 6.-Indian Agent
Sutherland, who was in the battle at
Sugar Point, gives the following ac-
count of the conflict up to the time or
his leaving for supplies:
When the arrest of the two fugitives
had been accomplished, the Indians.
with a profession of friendship showed
the soldiers their tepees and called at
tention to their neatness. all the time
stating, Me good Indian"
General Bacon, who has had great
experience with the Sioux and other
savages. did not take much stock in
these professions of friendship. and or
dered part of his company to search
the adjoining timber for any lurking
savages, but none were to be seen.
They must have been hidden in the
thick underbrush, and those unaccus-
toned to searching timber could easily
have been deceived, for it was not ten
minutes after this before the firing had
commenced. Had the Indians not con-
templated a general massacre, they
would have fired on the men who were
searching the timber. 1t was in ac-
cordance with their treacherous nature
to wait until they had our men at a
disadvantage before they opened fire
upon them, perhaps hoping to kill the
whole number at the first Volley.
These Pillagers are we'll armed and
are good marksmen; therefore, it is
easy to see where they had the advan-
tage of the situation at the start If
our men are not all killed. it is surmised
that they have gone some distance into
the woods, where they would be safe
from night attack from another band
of Indians. who could have come upon
them on the lake shore. If it is true
that the Cass lake Indians have gone
10 assist the Bear islanders, the fate of
Bacon can be understood.

difficulties they had to contend with.
The meetings were interfered with, but
they had the support of the authorities
and most of the trouble was found to
emanate from the Christian denomina-
tions, who apparently had but little
idea of what we believed in.
a committee of the authorities visited
the Saints and made inquiry into what
their belief was. After making the ma
tuTe Of their religion clear, they
were troubled but little more. They
thought of protesting against the petty
prosecutions that were kept up against
them. but finally decided not to do so
for fear that they might wake up more
strife. so they quietly forbore, and now
their affairs are in much better con-
dition.
The speaker and others also visited
the Holy Land, Travelled over and
looked for the place where the Saints
are together. The land has been cursed
on account of the sins of the people,
and for hundreds of years it has been
the best testimony that the world Of
fers of the truth of the gospel.
The spirit to gather the Jews to-
gether in their former land is evil
denced by the new colonies of Hebrews
that are springing up all over the Holy
Land, but they are not assembling
from any devotion to God, but rather
from a desire to once more form an
Independent nation.
The sultan is not pleased with the
assembling of the Jews in Palestine,
but they continue to gather, just the
same, and the speaker believed that
the time is not far distant when they
will accomplish their desire and gain
complete possession of the land of their
fathers. The time is not yet ripe for
the Saints to gather in their allotted
place in the Holy Land, but the Qppor-
tune time is drawing near whA the
Saints shall first strengthen the church
and it's branches; and when the time
is ripe, light will be seen in the east,
and then they can take their appointed
place among Gods chosen people.
APOSTLE NJ. w. MERRILL,
in his remarks, urged the Saints to
remember that the Lord had given unto
the Saints the mission to spread the
true gospel unto all the people of the
world. that none should be left who
had not heard the true faith. The
Saints have a beautiful organization
such as no others enjoy, and they
should be thankful for 1t. They are
not left to their own judgment in mat
tiers, but are urged to seek counsel.
He thought at times that they did not
appreciate this privilege that the Lord
has given them. He thought it a good
thing to seek counsel. 1t was a very
good thing for the separate ward or
ganiZations to meet together and talk
over the condition of all the people, to
know the condition of young men and
young women, and If there are any
matters of such weight as to call for
assistance. they should apply to the
president of the stake. and If he can
not solve it, go still higher and apply
to the apostles. He believed faith was
growing stronger, and the Saints must
encourage it, for faith is one of the
fundamental principles of their belief.
1t will have no bad results. and. in
fact. none but good results can come
from counsel and he urged again that
the bishops call their counselors oftener

The time has come for the reform

ton of all in gold upon demand, with

it left a great burden on the bishops
of wards and presidents of stakes, in
the support of their families. Yet this
was the manifest duty of the Latter
day Saints, no matter how much eX-
pense and trouble might be involved.
The speaker prayed that the brethren

debt and take up this, great labor He
also expressed the hope that all forms

ELDER GEORGE REYNOLDS
said it was unexpected by him that he
should stand before the conference at
this time, but he was glad to bear tes-
timony to the truth of the gospel
Though we are weak, though we com
nit follieS, we are not different from
those who have gone before us.
We are told in the Book of Mormon
that God gives weaknesses to his peo-
pie to test them, and that they are bet
ter able to enter the kingdom of heaven
by reason of their having overcome
such weaknesses than if they had been
perfect from the beginning.
The history, Saints, when read in fu-
ture ages, if things continue as they
are now. will be found a marvellous
record of growth and development, and
the speaker did not believe in this

provided for as the Saints.

would not use them for its street light
ing. The numerous poles and wires al
ready in the streets would make any
more an intolerable nuisance 1t
would cause the people TO swOOp

charge Councilman Callister with stu
picity, and for him l repudiate it, The
city's failure to avail itself of the con-
templated poles and crossarms made
it impossible for the company to refuse
to erect them. That act put an end to
the obligation on the part of the Utah
Power company. In contracting with
the Pioneer company for itreet lights,
the city absolutely waived the privi
legeS under the franchise and release
the Utah company from the obligation
to put up poles and crossarms for the
city'S benefit"
LIGHT FROM ATTORNEY M'KAY
Judge Mckay obtained consent to
say that the city's intention. when ne
Soiations were on with the Utah Power
company, was to have only one set of
combination poles in the business dis
trict and through the fire limits for
carrying all wires. but the Pioneer
Power company refused to accept the
franchise granted to it unless it could
have the privilege of erecting and
maintaining an independent pole line.
Ex-COuncilman Mulvey said he had
been convinced by Councilman Calls
ter that the Utah Power company had
forfeited its franchise in not putting up
the poles and crossarms for the city's
use in street lighting.
