Found AEain in Utah.


After the lapse of more than twenty
years, upon the completion of the first
Pacific railway, some parties crossing the
continent, stopped off at Salt Lake City,
Utah, and while strolling over the premises,
CHANGED to discover an old bell, slowed
away in the private schoolhouse of the
Mormon president which on closer in
spection, was found to have upon its
margin the familiar inscription, First
Presbyterian Church Of Iowa City-lS46 "
Immediate steps were taken to send the
old bell back to its first resting place and
letters to the Iowa City Presbyterians told
of the finding Of the bell. Communication
with the Mormon officials, however,
brought out such a fabulous price for the
bell from those personages that the Iowa
1ty Presbyterians gave up all hope Of Sc
J uring their coveted treasure
The entire history of the old relic was
finally divulged, however. 1t appears that
1t had Travelled from the Iowa river, its
first hiding place, to Nauvoo, Montrose,
Fort Madison and Muscatine, former points
of Mormonism in the early days, It having
been betrayed from its hiding place by
Mormon converts, who were among the
band of Presbyterians that hid II there.

ImmOrtaIized in Verse.
This episode in the early history OF the
Iowa City Presbyterian church. was once
