hat Laney had some time previously been a Mormon missionary, and had labored in the interest of his sect in Tennessee, where he was assailed by a mob. He was rescued by two men, father and son, named Aden, and found his way back to Utah. The two men to whom he had given food out of gratitude were the Adens. For this act Laney was murdered by an angel of death at the instigation of a Mormon bishop. While the immigrant company were on their way West, the Mormon leaders, among whom were Bishop Dame (who instigated, as Lee claimed, the murder of Laney), George A. Smith (then first counsellor of the Church and Brigham Young's right-hand man), and another Mormon dignitary named Haight, as well as John D. Lee, conspired to massacre the entire party. The saints claimed that immigrants who had passed through Utah en route to California had on several occasions treated them and their people with indignities, had stolen or destroyed their property, and had given the Mormons just cause of c

Troop F; Troopers Bugbe, Jackson, and Waller, of Troop A; Trumpeter McDonald, of Troop L.; Sergeant Hughes, of Troop B, and Trooper Geieren, of Troop G, all continued to fight after being wounded, some very severely; most of them fought until the end of the day. Trooper Oliver B. Norton, of Troop B, who with his brother was by my side all throughout the charging, was killed while fighting with marked gallantry. Sergeant Ferguson, Corporal Lee, and Troopers Bell and Carroll, of Troop K, Sergeant Dame, of Troop E; Troopers Goodwin, Campbell. and Dudley Dean, Trumpeter Foster, of Troop B, and Troopers Greenwold and Bardehan, of Troop A, are all worthy of special mention for coolness and gallantry. They all merit promotion when the time comes. But the most conspicuous gallantry was shown by Trooper Rowland. He was wounded in the side in our first fight, but kept in the firing-line; he was sent to the hospital the next day, but left it and marched out to us, overtaking us, and fough

esident of Lowell. His appointment had been asked for by politicians of high position. He asked that the State would send on sixty men to fill up his company. The request could not be complied with. The third was a letter from Lieutenant Motte, of the Thirteenth Battery, complaining that some of the officers commissioned by the Governor had been notified that they would be mustered out, because an informality of no importance had not been complied with. The fourth was a letter from Lieutenant Dame, of the Fifteenth Battery, to the same effect. The Adjutant-General says,— It seems to me very wrong that gentlemen should go to the expense of recruiting a company, buying an outfit, be commissioned, mustered into the service, and reach their destination after toils and hardships, anxious to do something for the glory of their country, and to be met as some of these officers have been met in New Orleans. The point in the case was this: By an order (No. 110), a battery of art

end of the bridge, I inquired of the guard what the poor women had done that they should be thus treated, and was told that they had been loafing around the camp for two or three days. On my return to Washington, I made a statement of the circumstances to Colonel Ingraham, assistant provost-marshal, and he said he would have the matter inquired into. I have heard nothing more of this beastly outrage since. Two miles from the bridge, I came to Fort Baker, which was under command of Lieutenant Dame, Sixth Company; found there also Lieutenant Bumpus, of the Tenth Company, who is on staff duty. Next passed on to Fort Greble, where our Seventh Company had its headquarters. Part of it were also in Forts Snyder and Carroll. I next came to Fort Davis, where the Tenth Company is stationed, which also had details in Forts Davis, Dupont, Mahan, and Meigs. Captain Bumpus, who commands this company, I did not see, he having gone that morning to Washington. I found Lieutenant Sanborn in c

massacre, and the alleged murders by Rockwell and his Danite band, the Red and White Indians have been very closely mixed. Four or five commissions have sat on the Mountain Meadow massacre, yet no one can say whether Kanosh, the Ute chief, or Colonel Dame, the Mormon bishop, was the man most to blame. All witnesses in the case describe the slayers as Indians, or as painted like Indians, or as dressed like Indians. Kanosh was a Mormon elder; and there is something of the Ute in Colonel Dame. Colonel Dame. Nine years ago I wrote of these saints: Hints for their system of government may have been found nearer home than Hauran, in less respectable quarters than the Bible; the Shoshone wigwam could have supplied the Saints with a nearer model of a plural household than the patriarch's tent. . . . The saints go much beyond Abram; and I for one am inclined to think that they have found their type of domestic life in the Indian wigwam rather than in the patriarch's tent. Like the Ute, a Mormon

ever, but I can stand it if they can. . . . I have a new admirer, partially insane, like most of mine. The Higginsons made their home in a boardinghouse kept by a gentle Quaker lady, and of their hostess Colonel Higginson wrote:— Dear Mrs. Dame is as lovely as ever, and when she has young kittens to drown, warms the water to save their feelings. And of the Newport Quakers in general:— They seem like a kind of mild and virtuous machines from oldest to youngest, without passions ongenial spirits, and Mrs. Howe's home was always an attractive resort. Describing a visit to this spot, he exclaimed,—delicious there in valley! The sight and smell of wild flowers refreshed my soul—they are so rare here. To Newport and to Mrs. Dame's table drifted in those days sundry bright women, whose sparkling conversation and witty repartees made meal-time a brilliant occasion. One of these gifted women was Helen Hunt, who became an intimate friend of the Higginsons. The Colonel w
