From tho Denver Tribune.
THE MURDERED MORMON ELDER.
In the telegraphic report of the Tribunt
on the morning of the 22d of July, appears
a four line dispatch from Atlanta, Georgia
stating that Joseph Standing, a Morraoi
preacher, had beeu shot and killed by a mol
of ten men in an adjacent county. The iter
of news", swallowed up in the general tiding
froi.i all parts of the world, would probabl.
never have been thought of here again, hai
not a reporter for the Tribune been abroai
early yesterday morning and accidentally con
fronted?Mr. Standing's corpse. Tjiat is- t
say, the reporter discovered that the body o
. the dead son of Ziou was in Denver, awaitinj
transportation to Salt Lake City, and that i
was in charge of Elder Rudger Clawson, whi
had been engaged in the work of conversioi
in Georgia with the dead Standing, and wa
with him at the time an incensed and infuria
ted mob took vengeance into their own hands
Elder Clawson was found at Charpiot's hotel
awaiting the arrival of an express wagon
which was to convey the casket, containing
the murdered Mormon, from the Rio Grandi
to the Colorado Central Depot. Time beinj
limited, the reporter accompanied the Elde
on his trip to toe depots, and assisted in trans
ferring the corpse, succeeding, during thi
work, in obtaining from the Apostle an ac
count of his experience in converting the peo
pie of Georgia to the Mormon faith.
Standing, the martyr, was a young man o
twenty-four years, fat and beardless, and witl
not a very bright look, judging from his pic
ture. He is said, however, to have been i
man of magnetism and powers of eloquence
and that during his short life in the churcl
service, he has performed great work. Claw
son, his companion, is only twenty-two yean
old, rather good looking, of slight build, anc
of an apparent nervous temperament. He ii
evidently a man of courage, will and pas
sion. These two belong to a class or order o:
the church called "Seventies." and go arounc
evangelizing, so to speak. Standing went tc
Georgia some sixteen months ago, and by in
defatigable labors and well attended zeal and
enthusiasm, had aroused a general interest in
the doctrine of the Mormon Church in and
about Whitfield county. He made his mis
sionary home at Parnell station. In Apri]
last the work having grown and the territory
of his influence extended, Standing applied
to the grand Giasticutus at Salt .Lake tor ar
' assistant. The church sent out young Clawson
to aid in the work. Afier Clawson's ar
rival, labor among the Gentiles was prosecu
ted witli great vigor and with such succesj
that those who withstood the haneful influ
ence became alarmed for fear some membei
of their family might be a victim to tfoe se
ductive arguments and pleadings of the young
Mormon apostles. Over one hundred fami
lies were gathered to the arms of the MormoE
Church and assisted on their journey to the
city of Zion. Besides this, a branch of the
church had been established at Paruell, and
the services were regularly attended by those
who every week became more and more inoculated
with the pernicious creed. Aud a*
the interest among those under the influence
increased, so did the protests and threats oi
the outraged Gentiles. Numerous words oi
waruing, and anonymous threats were sent tc
the elders, telling them that they would be
forced to quit. No attention was paid to this
The labor, the excitement and the baptisms
continued. Then a committee of citizens
called upon the missionaries, and they were
told that the community intended to be rid oi
them, and that unless they left or ceased work
in the county, they would be severely deall
with. But the two zealous "Seventies" went
ahead with their teachings, and every day
their ministry brought forth results. Then
came the denouement?the climax. On Monday,
July 21, a meeting was to-be held at a
farm house, some few inile? from Parnell. -Il
had been advertised arouud the neighbor
hood and in the town, and a crowd ilocked
to hear "the'word" as spoken by the son-'.
Standing and Clawsou proceeded on foot toward
the place of meeting, confident of a
large meeting and of winning converts to the
faith. At a point about half way on theii
journey, however, the elders were suddenly
brought to a halt by a body of ten or fifteen
armed men; and thoroughly armed, too,
with revolvers, knives and rifles- None oi
the mob were masked or in any way disguised.
A spokesman stepped fQrward and
informed the two Mormons that they must
e follow and be taken into the woods, where,
at a point already selected, they would be
stripped and flogged. The two saw that there
was nothing to do but to submit, and sur
rounded by the determined company, they
marched by a side road, deep into the woods
to a spring, where they were compelled to sit
down. They did so, and the mob withdrew
a few paces for consultation. By accident, or
great carelessness, one of the mob had laid a
heavy Colt's revolver ou a tree stump but a
few feet from where Standing was, and while
the men were talking together, he found it au
easy matter to reach the revolver, which he
did, and arose to his feet. His movement
was ^een and an advance made toward him,
when Standing leveled the revolver at the
group and commanded them to remain quiet
and listen to him or he would shoot. As he
said this, one of the gang drew a revolver and
quick as a flash sent a bullet crashing through
the Mormon- preacher's brain, entering the
head at the forehead and passing through the
cranium. He fell to the ground and expired
almost immediately. The crowd, excited by
the occurrence, then made a rush for Claw
son, who by this time had risen to his feet
and some one shouted, "Shoot the other one
too, God damn him!" Clawson folded his
arms and looked his infuriated assailants ir
their faces, saying calmly and slowly, "Gen
tlemen, I am ready to die." Clawson says
he thinks his presence of mind and his calm
uess at that critical moment saved his life
for uo further attack was made, and tin
crowd, in a few minutes, withdrew to one side
shouting back for him to leave the country i
he wanted to live. Clawson thereupon lef
the dead body of his associate with his assail
ants and returned rapidly to Parnell, when
he notified the Sheriff and the Coroner. Thesi
two accompanied Clawson back to the scene
but the mob had dispersed. Standing wa
examined where he lay, and it was found tha
after Clawson left, a second bullet had beei
lodged in the dead Mormon's brain, and hi
had been cut several times in the face with j
knife. An inquest was held, and, aided b;
Clawson's description, warrants were issued fo
thirteen of the men whom he had seen in th
mob, but at last accounts no arrests had beei
made, though a verdict of murder was re
turned by the Coroner's jury. It was return
ed on the warrants that the parties had lef
the county, but it is believed by the Mormon
and their sympathizers that no effort will b
made to bring the guilty parties to justice
Elder Clawson thinks he knows who did th
shooting?an old man whose daughter ha<
espoused the polygamic faith ; but he is no
confident, as the deed was quickly, and ver;
unexpectedly, to him, accomplished.
After the inquest, Clawson had the bod;
of his late associate placed in a casket am
prepared for shipment, and on Thursday h
started with the reinaius for Salt Lake Citv
arriving in Denver on his journey Tuesda;
night.
The reporter, after listening'to the story o
the Seventy, asked him :
"What per cent, of the people in the sectioi
of Georgia where you have been laboring ar
in sympathy with the murderers?"
"Not one-tenth, I am sure. The majorit
are inclined to allow free religious expressioi
and action."
"Were your arguments of a nature calcu
lated to shock those who oppose your socia
privileges ?"
"No, indeed, sir. We referred very littl
^ to polygamy so called, but based our argu
meuts on the co-operative features of th
church and upon the advantages and beautiz
of the country about Zion."
"Were you raised in the faith yourself?"
"My people became Mormons when I wa
quite young."
"Do you think the work of proselyting will i
be resumed in Georgia by'emissaries from j
, the head church?"
J [ "I hardly believe we will send any more ;
^ j workers into that'field. The territory of the j
n'! United States is large enough to obviate the
[j necessity of sacrificing personal safety in thea
work of conversion. The branch church in
3 Georgia Will be maintained, as it is on a good
y foundation, but in the immediate neighborj
hood of the outrage we shall probably susj
pend labors."
"If, however, you were requested to return
0 there and resume the work so sanguinarily I
f terminated, would you do so ?"
v "To be sure I would.. My life is given to '
\ the work, and our faith is too strong, the re0
ward too sweet, to hesitate before intimida3
tion from a mob."
s "What steps will the church take, think
you, in bringing the perpetrator of the crime
L to justice?"
"That I cannot say. Of course the prosecuting
attorney at Parnell will have charge
1 of the case. But I presume the church will
3 ooolot or>/1 urmi Tirnufipntloll in &XQTV wav.
jj i OOOIOll IINU f _ ? - * ? ,
r ! and our friends in Georgia will not be likely
^ to let the matter rest.
"You expect to be called upon to return
a as a witness, do you not?''
. "Yes, sir; and I shall go, calculating to
use every meaus in my power to bring vengeance
on the head of poor Standing's murderer."
^ "Had Elder Standing a family ?"
1 "He had no family, but his father and
mother live near Salt Lake City."
1 Eider Clawscn expected to reach Salt Lake
' City with his charge to-night. Having tele1
! graphed his coining he naturally expects quite
a demonstration on his arrival, and the funeral
obsequies will doubtless be of unusual interest
and effect.
