the Mormons were at work, toiling steadily

man on certain day should bring his re-

been done. Thompson turned everything
that he could sell into money and absconded

WALLED MORMON CITY.
CorrectiOnviIIe. Ia. the Home of the
Prophet Thompson.

"It was in 1857 that, in company with a
friend ! visited the town of Correctionville.
in Iowa, arriving there after a long days
ride northeasterly from Sioux City" said
General James A. Fairplay to a New York
Sun reporter. "The country had been
surveyed by the government at the time, and
the town had received its queer name be-
cause it was situated at a correction line in
the surveys. 1t was Mormon settlement,
one OF the little communities of Latter Day
Saints who had not followed Brigham Young
and his people across the arid plains ten
years before. but had made their colonies
in the fertile prairie in the region of rainfall.
The town was built in manner unusual in
modern construction, being surrounded by
wall. From ten miles away, over the prairie
billowing green with the high grass of mid
summer we could see the walled city, the
only sign of human occupation in view ris-
ing above the plain like scene translated
from Holy land AS we came nearer the
corn and grain fields laid out in rectangles,
the gardens and orchards without the walls,
could be seen and the people, at the hour
of sunset, driving their live stock within the
gates which were closed at night against
Gentiles and prowling Indians.
THE walls and the houses within were
built OF sundried brick made of clay mixed
with prairie grass or straw--a material not
so good as the New Mexican adobe bricks,
which endure for centuries, but sufficient
for the purpose. The walls were higher than
a man could scale except with a ladder and
thick enough to have stood a considerable
bombardment from artillery, and upon the
top was the beginning of coping OF split
sandstone. As we came near the gate at the
edge OF dusk a sentinel hailed us from the
wall and demanded our errand. We asked
to see the prophet, Thompson, the spiritual
and temporal head of the colony, and, after
some delay. he appeared on the wall.
There was a short parley, and then. oul
| business being with him and satisfactory
the gates were thrown open for us to drive
through. Within the town the houses were
! built in a circle against the wall, all facing
| the common inclosure in the center where
the live stock was gathered at night. The
| fiat roofs of the houses were about four fee
| lower than the wall, making good standing
ground behind the paraphet in case thu
| town had to be defended against an enemy
! With some difficulty we made way for ou
! team among the horses mules, cattle shee
and pigs standing and lying thickly to
| gether to the door OF the prophets house
! Our coming attracted little attention anon
