ward Fort Carney two hundred and
fifty miles distance From Fort Car.
ney we made our way across the
River Plat TO Fort Larney All our
stops we're at forts. We stayed a
week at Fort Larney and then we
struck the trail through the Rocky
Mountains. 10 was terribly cold-of-
ten thirty and forty below zero-but
we stil wore no oyercoata. Our next
stop was at Fort Bridgery and we
had a hard time reaching this fort.
Our mules could root i'm the snow for
food but the horses would not Our
corn got low and many of the horses
starved to death. The last few days
before we reached the fort we left
each morning helpless animals to the
lender mercies of the coyotes and
wolves which were on their helpless
prey before we we're out of sight.
we stayed the rest of the winter
a. Fort Bridgery. From there we
moved on TO Echo Canyon. For NJ
teen miles the Mormons had guarded
he passes OF the canyon They had
erected false bridges. which would
tumble IN when our men had reached
the center We made a detour of iif.
teen miles and reached salt Lake
City on April 10, 1858. Here we
erected Fort Douglass. We met with
little opposition when we reached the
city of the Mormons and they found
that we meant business"

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE hor-
rors of the great war have now
brought suffering and exile to more
than $4,000 offenseless Christian peo-
pie in northwestern Persia, according
to a statement given out by newly
organized Persian War Relief commit
tee. The invasion of Persia and the
capture by Turks and Kurds of the
cities of Urumia, Tabriz and other
towns which had been held By Russian
troops, drove the Assyrian and Ar
menian people, in fear of massacre,
either out of the country in Russia,
or into the American missionary COM
pounds in Umruia and Tabriz. The
flight from Urumia began at midnight
on January I'd, the people having only
a few moments notice of the approach
of the Kurds and the need of flight
Rev. ]. D. Barnard, a missionary of
the Archbishop of Canterbury's Mis-
sion of the Church of England, who
left Urumia with the refugees in view
of the approach of the Turkish troops.
writes: Practically the entire Chris
tian population of the Uru1nia Plain,
and neighboring districts were in
flight as we lett. AS far as the eye
could reach in both directions was a
constant stream of refugees, some
times so dense that the road was
blocked 1t was ad readful sight and
one l never want to see again. Many
old people and children died on tha
way"
Most of the refugees who fed to
Russia made their way to the city OF
Tifiis. The long journey of the thous-
ands of fleeing people was made from
Urumia in the depth of winter, with no
provision for the journey, afoot,
through snow and rain. One of the
refugees, John Mooshie, a naturalizei
American citizen and superintendent
of the day schools in the Urunia piai
writes from Tifiis: During the ter
days journey We have witnessed long
chain of men, women and children
from Urumia to DjoUlfa, most of them
walking in cold and mud, without food
or shelter. We have seen many wo-
men and children dead on the way, as
they could not endure cold and fatigue.
The Christian inhabitants of Tabriz
and Salinas have left, except those in
Tabriz, who are protected by the
American consul"
From Tabriz, Rev Frederick n Jas-
sup writes: Everyone is seeking
shelter with US, French, Belgian.
