at this time and the legislature pro-

government Of the Legion. In 1851 there

various engagements had been
fought with the Indians. the most not
able Of which were the two days night
at Provo in February, 1850, and the
Walker war in 1858.
During the civil war the Legion did
splendid service In protecting The Unit

and mountains thus effectually

Previous to that time President Young
had offered the services OF the Legion,
for that purpose. TO President Ahra-

them.

THE LEGloNs BIRTH.
The Nauvoo Legion came into exist
ence simultaneously with the muncip'
al government of the city from which
il derived its name. The Nauvoo char
ter was devised by Joseph Smith as
he declares ION principles so broad the
any honest man might dwell secure I'M
der its protecting influence without dis
tinction Of sect or party"
or course the purpose In organizing
the Legion was to defend the Nor
mons" of that day, against the on
slaughts and mobbings or armed ana
lawless men. While the Legion be-
came very efficient military body It
was never expected by its organizers
that IT would be necessary TO employ
II In any particularly aggressive way. 1t
was thought that the simple knowledge
Of its existence would deter the law
breaking elements who had so FREE
quently and so violently inflicted them
selves upon the Latter-day Saints; and
so II did in a large measure.
The charter Of Nauvoo was an un-
usual one In many respects and was
secured largely through the efforts and
influence OF Or. John C. Bennett, who
came into prominent association with
the Church while acting as quarter
master general OF the State Of Illinois
The twenty-ffth section Of the city
charter read as follows:
THE city council may organize the
inhabitants Of said city, subject to
military duty. into body OF independ-
ent military men. to be called the Nau-
VOC Legion. the court martial Of which
shall be composed Of the commissioned
officers Of saii legion. and constitute

The Fire Yesterday.

The bakery of W. T. Costin, stu
ated in the rear of his home on Lib
erty Street, near the residence of Mr..
George W. Reardon, was burned yester-
day afternoon about $50 o'clock. The
origin of the fire is not known, but
the most plausible theory is that it
was caused by sparks from the CHM
ney falling upon the roof. The build
ing was wrapped in flames when the
alarm was given and all that the fire
department could do was to prevent
the fire spreading to buildings in the
vicinity. None of the nearby build
ings were damaged although they were
in immediate danger of burning when
the fremen arrived.
