THRILLING EXPERIENCE,
Special Correspondence.

NXFORD, Ida, Dec. 26.-0n Sun
| J day IN the Latter-day Saints
Westinghouse, the congregation
enjoyed an unusually interesting talk
by Elder William Grant. who few
months ago returned from q mission to
Tennessee. He left oxford nearly three
years ago on his mission, and this was
the first time he had met with the
saints here since his return.
In relating some OF his missionary ex-
periences he told how his duties on one
occasion called him In the neghborhood
where Elders Gibbs and Berry and 9TH
ers were so cruelty murdered years ago
He went to the railway station, about
three miles from where the tragedy
occurred, and had to wait some two
hours for the train. While waiting a
man came up to him and asked IL he
was not Mormon elder. and told him
he had better get out of there at once,
as there were men there who had sworn
to kill the first Mormon elder who dared
come in that neighborhood. He also In
formed i'm that his father was one who
was killed on the occasion OF the trage-
dy. While Elder Grant was waiting
for the train crowd of men gathered
at the station and commenced throw
ing up an old hat and shooting at IT, at
the same time making threats on the
MAnon elder. Things were getting
decidedly warm and unpleasant wheV
the train pulled In and Elder Grant sue
ceeded in making his escape on the
train.

ford and Swan Lake Joined forces and
