JtorxTAIX MEADOW MASSACRE.
The Confession ot' John I). I,co-The Torrlble
Story of tlio Slaughter of .Hen,
Women nnd Children n?i Told by the
l-eoder ol" the Mormon Party.
" My name is John D. I<ce. I was
bora ou September 0, 1812, at Knsknskia,
Randolph county, 111. My mother
belonged to the Catholic church and 1
was christened in the faith. My parents
died while I was still n cliilil and my
boyhood was cntt of trial and hardships.
"I married Agatlic Ann Woolscy in
1833 and moved to Fayette county, 111.,
on Kii'-k creek, where i became wealthy.
" In 183f> I became acquainted with
some traveling Mormon preachers. 1
bought, rend and believed the book of
Mormon. I sold my property in Illinois
and moved to Fairwest, in Missouri,
ill 1837. where I iohied tlir ?vfiirmnn
church and became intimately acquainted
with Joseph Smith, Brigham Young
and other leaders of the ChtUvh of
Jesus Christ of Latter Pay Saints.
******
u I was an honored man in the church,
flattered and regarded by Brigham
Young and the apostles until 1868, when
1 was cut off from the church and select*
I'd as a scapegoat to suffer for and bear
the sins of my people.
" As a duty to myself and mankind I
now confess all that I kno\v ?uul ail that
I did at the "Mountain Meadow massacre,
without animosity to any one, shielding
none, giving facts as they existed.
"Those with me on that occasion
were acting under orders from the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. The horrid deeds then committed
were done as a duty which we
believed we owed to God and our
church.
44 Wo were all sworn to secrecy before
find alter the massacre. The penalty for
giving information concerning the same
was death. As T am to suffer death for
what I then did and have been betrayed,
both by those who gave me the orders
to act and the most active of my assistants,
I now give the world the true
facts as they exist, and tell why the massacre
kh:s committed and who were active
partnipauts.
The Mountain Meadow massacre was
the result of the direct teachings ol
Brigham Young, and it was done by the
orders <>f thosu high in authority in the
Mormon community.
"The immediate orders for the massacre

:uit Colonel Isaac 0. Haight and tne
council at Cedar City, Utah.
<4I held 110 position either in the civil or
fnilitary departments, or in the church
at that time.
" About September 7 I 'went to Cedar
City, where I met Isaac C. Haight,
president or governor of that State of
Zion, and also lieutenant colonel of the
Iron county Mormon militia. This was
on a Sunday. Lieutenant Colonel Haight
was the leader there in all things, civil,
clerical and military. It was a crime
punishable by death to disobey his
orders.
"Lieutenaut Colonel Haight gave me a
full account of the immigrants who were
coming. "We slept in the iron works all
that night and arranged our plans.
' Lieutenant Colonel Haight said the
immigrants were a rough set; that they
were bad men, robbers and murderers,
and had helped to kill the Mormon
prophets. 1 believed him.
" I was ordered to raise the Indians to
attack the train and run off the cattle
and to have the Indiuns kill tlie immigrants.
I scut Curl Shirts,-ray son-inlaw,
to raise the southern Indians for j
the work. Nephi Johnson went toother
tribes.
"On Monday morning . left the iron
works to obey my orders. Lieutenant j
Colonel Haiglit said: ' We are acting !
by orders?it is all right. We will let '
the Indians bear all the blame.'
" T said we are forbidden to shed inno- |
cen blood. The reply of Haiglit was:
'There is not a drop of inuocent blood
in the whole lot. Go, Brother Lee, and
carry out the instructions of those in authority.
If you are dutiful in this your
reward shall be Rrent in the Kingdom of
God, for God will bless those who obey
counsel and make all things fit for the
people of the Lord in their days.'
" On my way home I passed many Indians
out on the \* arpath. I promised
to join them the next day. On Tuesday
morning ine inuians attacked the truin,
just at daylight, and killed seven and (
wonnded sixteen immigrants. rHie I?idiuns
lost some of their warriois. The
immigrants then fortilied their position,
and the Indians surrounded them and j
sent for me.
"The -wholecountywasaroused, both
whites aud Indians rushing to Mountain
Meadow from all directions.
"I arrived at the camp late 011 Tuesday
afternoon and found the Indians in large
force. They demanded that I should
lead the attack. I refused until further
orders were received from Haight or
Dame.
"I then went south ten miles and met
some whites and Indians coming from
that direction. I camped there that
night and on Wednesday went to the
Meadows and sent a man to Cedar City
for further orders.
"On Thursday the orders came by Major
Higby. There were fifty-eight whites
and about 500 Indians there. Then
Major Higby made a speech and said
that the immigrants were all to be killed
who could talk ; that we must get them
out of the fortifications by treachery.
"T was to follow the flag of truce and
mnlse a treaty with the besieged, and
promise protection. I was also to get
the arms of the immigrants and the sick
and wounded, and also the children into
wagons. Then the troops, under Major i
Higby, would meet the immigrants.
The Indians were to remain in ambush. *
The women were to go ahead. The Indians
were then kill the women. The
militia were to kill the men, and I and
the drivers of the wagons were to kill
the wounded and sick that were in the
wagons.
"Several other men then made speeches.
Then we had a prayer circle, and then
more speeches were made, and it was
agreed by all parties that it was the .Till
of God for us to do as we were ordered.
" On Friday morning the immigrants
had a white flag flying, and the Mormon
brethren again assembled. Speeches
were made, and all expressed themselves
as willing to act.
"There were present fifty-four or fiftyeight
whites and about 400 or 500 Indians.
Higby addressed the party, saying
that the immigrants must be put out
of the way.
, " The Hag of truce wits then sent forward.
It was carried by William Batemaii.
He was met half way by the immigrants,
and they held a' parley with
him. Batemau then returned and reported
that the immigrants would surrender
their arms and do as they had
been requested. The Mormon soldiers
then marched out to within 200 yards of
the immigrants. They next took wagons
and went to the camp and stated thenorders.
"The immigrants then surrendered and
put their arms, the sick and the wounded
and the children into the wagons. While
they were burying their dead men the
immigrants burst into tears and said they
, feared treachery. As soon as the wagons
were loaded the train was started. The
immigrants marched in single file, the
women and large children being ahead;
then the men came.
"When the wagons were half a mile off
the fire commenced. The Indians killed
all the women and large children. The
Mormons killed the men. The drivers
with me killed the sick and the wounded.
We saved seventeen of the children. The
dead werg stripped and mutilated and
the corpses left on the field. The Mormons
camped on the field. The next day
Lieutenant Colonel Haight, Colonel
Dame and other leaders came over.
j Filially tliey quarreled. Lieutem
i Colonel Haight said to Colonel Dame:
"' You ordered it, and, damn you, il
I too latfl to go back !'
; ' 'Dame said he did jiot know there w<
| so many of themv We buried the de
and drove tlit cattle to the Iron Spriiij
* * All the wagons and other propel
were sold in Cedar City by the order
the church authorities. All of these <
ders were fully obeyed. Vhe horrors i
I tending the massacre of the immigral
were beyond my description.
! "The brethren were ngain sworn to f
; crecy. This wfts also done by order of t
*! church, which was then nt war with t
! United States government-.
i ' 'I went to Salt Luke City and made 1
I report to Brigliam Yonng ten days aft
j the massacre. 1 told him all; everythi:
; ? who were there, who wK-e guilty a
! who were aetivp ill killing the imn
j grants ; in fact, all I knew. I Haid
| liim : ' You must sustain ns or relea
' us from the endowment oath to aveni
' the death of the prophets.'
, "Brigham Young said : ' I will coi
! munioatewith God.' I went back i
j next morning, when Young sal*
; ' Brother Lee, not a drop of innoce
i blood has been shed. I have gone
i God in prayer. God has shown me tli
j it was u just act. The people did rigl
but were only a little hasty. I have ?
rect evidence from God that the act w
a jnst one, that-it was in accord wi
God's will. I sustain you nild tl
brethren in nil that VoU did. All I fe

thoiu. Keep all secret as the grav
Never tell any one, and write me a h

I I will then report to the United Stat
: government that it was an Indian mass
j ere.'
"Briglnm Young was then and f
: many years after fully satisfied with n
and my act. He gave mo three wiv
after that and appointed me proba
judge of Washington county.
; "Nothing but cowardice has made hi
desert me now. Fifty head of cattle we
sold in Salt Lake City by the authority
j for merchandise. The immigrants h:i
450, making 500 cattle in all. They la
oniy a little money. When Craulebaup

Meadow to investigate the massaor
Brigham Young came with him ; he the
knew all about the massacre and uplie
the brethren. Tie preached at Cedi
| City and said about the immigrant:
;' Do you know who they were? I wi
tell you. They were the fathers, mot]
ers, brothers, sisters, micles, aun^s ar
children of the men who killed the sain
I in Jackson county, and afterwards kille
the prophet in Carthage jail. Their chi
dren are in the poorhouse ; their rel;
tives refuse them because they are tl
children of thieves, outlaws and mil
derers. I have been told there are mar
brethren who are willing to inform c
I those who did this thing. I hope thei
is no truth in the rumor. I hope 1
such person lives.
" ' If there is, I tell you what your fa

A Fugacious City.
The city of Baxter Springs, Kansas, |
once upon a time, acting under the State ;
I law, issued and sold a certain number of !
bonds and when the coupons became due I
| repudiated them. The bondholders j
; brought ftuit, and the United States dis- j
j trict court gave judgment in their favor j
; and ordered the city officials to satisfy i
j their demands, whereupon the indignant j
i property holders swore solemnly that i
[ they would never pay a cent of interest j
j or principal, and took up their city and i
; walked. A letter writer states that they !
! are moving their houses to the adjoining j
| towns and that the more important bnsi- ;
! ness firms are now arranging for the pur- j
j chase of eighty acres of land, north of the '
j town, to which they intend to move their
I business houses. This will take most of
i the personal property out, of the city
i limits, and so when the marshal proceed?
j to levy on the city lie-will have to make a '
j return of non c*t. Baxter Springs, as n
j city, will have gone where the woodbine |
j twinetk in virgin luxuriance and settle i
I there "to grow up with the country,"
I while its site shall nevermore be inhabited,
but the wild beasts of tlje prairie j
i shall lie there, and the house?, which j
j have none to move them by reason of |
j mortgages, shall be full of doleful crea- :
I tures, and owls (which indeed abound on
j the plains) shall dwell there, and the j
Kansas equivalent of satyrs shall dauce '
there . , . The
British Army. * ? >
The effective strength of the British j
army by arms on the first of December :
last was 183,745, the average in 1875
being 184,609. The average during 1875
of the different branches of the service
is as follows : Household cavalry, 1,282;
cavalry of the line, 16,112; royal horse
artillery, 5,520; royal artillery, 28,702;

5,550; infantry of the line, 115,257; co- i
loninl corps, 2,298; ariny service corps, j
3,002; army hospital corps, 1,299. 'The '
effective strength on the iirst of January, I
1876, was 183,949. During the year 1875 j
the army was thus distributed : Eng- t
gland, 69,479; Scotland, 4,173; Ireland, j
23,541. The net lost from desertion was
2,429, or a percentage of twenty-four, j
In 1874 the percentage was twenty-seven.
It requires a great deal of poetry to
gild the pill of poverty, and then it will

The invent >rs of Burnett's Cocoaine
?knowing that wlieu tbe loan of hair occurs, it
is generally from that part of the head where
the greatest heat is necessarily generated, and t
that animal fats by their nature induce beat ;
rather than alleviate it?turned their atten
tion and pharmaceutical science, toward vege- '
tablo oils, as the basis of a medicament to promote
the growth and preserve tbe beauty of tbe j
hair. The oleum cocoa, or Cocoa nut Oil, pre- !
sentcd itself most strongly, as possessing many j
properties peculiarly adapted for the purpose ; |
out its odor was -objectionable, and its density j
(except when exposed to heat) whined for |
a long time to defy all efforts to render it avail- j
able, for popular use, in cooler climates. By a j
scientific selection of other ingredient*, those, j
which will chemically combine with the oil i
have been discovered, and they together have j
produced a compound, which is unqualifiedly j
pronounced to be the best that has yet appeared. ,
In the form presented, this oil is permanent- j
lv deodorized, and held in a combination which
peculiarly adapts it for the toilet; Burnett's j
Cooaike is unrivaled in delicacy and agreea- j
bleness?cooling in its nature?and possesses i
such a penetrating affinity for the secretions of j
tho skin, that it is rapidly absorbed.
Its greatest efficacy is l>est secured by a perfect
cleansing, before" its application, of "the uair i
and scalp, under, which circumstances (hitf oil ;
allays irritation, removes all tendency to ilandrvjt',
and invigorates the action of tho eapil- J
laries in the liighest degree. Its effect upon j
the glossiness and richness of the hair is such
as cannot bo surpassed ; and it is offered to the
public in the firm belief that it only requires to
ne known to supersede ail other preparations.
We are confident that no one who will make a
trial of its efficacy will bo willing to return i<>
the use oJ any other preparation.

At Which Hotel I
Experienced travelers usually know, before j
leaving home, at what liolel they will stop, in a ;
large city like New York. Others have no place |
selected, and depend upon the recommendations j
of their friends, or select a place at random. ,
It is much better to be thoroughly posted before
starting; and po we make known to our
readers, experienced or otherwise, the latest nnd
lowest reduction, at the Grand Central, the
largest and best hotel in New York, which has :
reduced to ?'2.50 and ?3.00 per day.
