fruit stand on Elephant Corner for
old man Reese. Around dinner time
one day heard some shooting down
the street and saw a crowd gather

l ran down to see what the trouble
was. Two policemen were bringing
Negro out of the restaurant. From
what the crowd said l understood
that he had killed one policeman
and the watermaster, and had
wounded another policeman.
The policemen, with the crowd
following, started toward Second
South Street. l wondered why they
did not go the shortest way to the
jail; the route they took was nearly
a block longer. AS they went along
Second South Street, grocer left
his store and joined the crowd, fold
ing up his apron and tucking it into
his belt as he walked along. This
man, whose name 1 did not know,
shouted: sect a rope" thought
to myself, "What do they want with
a rope? The police have got him
fast"
The crowd was increasing and
getting more excited at every step.
The added distance increased the
number of the mob. AS the Jail
was reached, I could see the pris-
oner and the policemen on the steps
that led up to the door. 1t seemed
to me that the policemen, instead
Of pushing the Negro into the
prison, pushed him into the hands
of the mobI 1 did not see him again
until / had crowded in under the
arms of the mob, which was then
standing hushed as though stricken
with awe. Then I saw the Negro
hanging by the neck in the wagon
shed. His face was CHASTITY, and
although he was light colored, it
was turning blue, with the eyes and
tongue sticking out horribly. /

of four prominent Mormons of
Utah, lived in Salt Lake City, the
Younger one in South Cottonwood.
He remarked that he had yet another
wife, a buXom lass who had a fine
baby, but, he added: II don't know

to the tithing office of the church,
where l would deliver them. Once
IL a while he would say to me,
William, do you think you can sell
that fruit?" Once he sold me ten
or twelve punches of bananas at
twenty-five cents bunch, which l
quickly disposed of at a dollar and
