A Chapter ol moody III*tor>?_inc Trae
Detall* or the Mountain Meadow? Mai
?acre.
Fifteen years ago, a very wealthy train
of emigrants left Arkansas for Califor?
nia, there to seek new homes. From all
reports it was considered tho most com?
fortably outfitted company of emigrants
that ever crossed the plains. lu addition
to the usual wagons, freighted with pro?
visions, clothing and tho portable valua?
bles of their former homes, together
with the implements of agriculture and
mechanics, there were several carriages
for the more convenient traveling of the
ladles, the young and tho aged. Alto
gether, the appearance of the train ami
the excellent conduct and pleasant asso?
ciations of the emigrants with OUO ail
other bespoke the moving of farmers nm
trades-people iu comfortablo circum?
stances. They rested every seventh dav
in their journey, and eugaged iu reli
giouB exercises iu their own way, ns hat
been their custom at home. They up
peared to bo related to euch other b]
families or by marriage, and with thc
toddling infant playing in tho camp a
night might be seen the venerable patri
arch of three ?core years and ten. Al
seemed happy together. Such was tb
emigrant train that pussed through Uta)
iu 1857 aud perished on the Mouutuii
Meadows, 250 miles South of Salt Lak
City.
During tho past fifteen years thi
Mouutaiu Meadows massacre has beei
frequently charged to tho Mormons, bu
with unyielding pertinacity they hav
denied the implication, aud with th
boldness of their assertions thoy hav
managed to induce oven astute Congres*
meu to believe that the massacre was th
work of the Indians. But, singular!
enough, on the fifteenth anniversary c
that foul and treacherous deed, in whic
120 men, womeu und children were mm
dered, there comes to us from thu cit
of tho Prophet Brigham the full au
frank confession of one of his ow
Bishops that the bloody work was orde:
ed by tho Mormon leaders and execute
by their militia.
The following is the affidavit in full 1
one of the least guilty among the part
cipators in tho adair, showiugoonclusiv
ly that the terrible Mountain Moadov
massacre was tho act of the Mormon ai
thoritiea:
STATE or NEVADA, COUNTY or Li:
COLN, ss. : Personally appeared befo
me Peter B. Miller, Clerk of Court i
the Seventh Judicial District of tl
State of Nevada, Philip Klingon Sinit
who being duly sworn, on his oath, suv
My name is Philip Klingon Smith; I r
side in the County of Lincoln, in tl
Stale of Nevada; 1 resided at Cedar Cit
in tho County of Iron, in the Territo
of Utah, from A. D. 1852 to A. D..185
I waa residing at Cedur City at tue tit
of the massacre at Mountain ' Meadov
in said Territory ol Utah; I hud boa
that il company of emigrants was on
way from Salt Laka City, bound 1
California; said company arrived
Cedar City, tarried there oue day, a
passed on for California; after said co
puny had left Cedar City, the militia v
called out for the purpo.se of committi
acts of hostility against them; saide
was a regular military call from t
superior officers to the aubordiu
I officers and privates of the regiment
Cedar City and vicinity, composinj
part of the militia of the Territory
Utah; I do not recollect the number
the regiment; I was at that time
Bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ
Latter Day Saints at Cedar City; Is
C. Haigbt was President over said chu
at Cedar City and the Southern set
meuts iu said Territory; my positior.
Bishop was subordinate to that
said President; W. H. Darno was Pn
dent of said church at Parowau, in s
Iron County; suid W. H. Dame '
I also colonel of said regiment; suid Is
I C. Haigbt was lieutenant-colonel of ?
I regiment, and said John D. Lee, of I
I mony, in said Iron County, was majo
said regiment; said regiment was d
j ordered to muster, armed and equip]
as the law dirocts, and prepared for t
operations; I bad no command nor ol
iu said regimeut at the time, neither
I march with said regimeut on tho w
ditiou which resulted iu said compni
being massacred in the Mountain a
dows, in said County of Iron; about I
days after said company of einigri
hud left Cedar City, that portion of i
i regiment thou mustered ut Cedar (
took up its line of march in pursui
them; about two days after said c
1 pany had left Cedar City, Lieutcu
Colonel I. C. Haight expressed, in
presenco, n desire that said comp
might bo permitted to pass on their
in peace; but afterwurd ho told me
ho bad orders from headquarters to
all of said company of emigrants ex
thu little ohildrou; I do not kuow i
thor said headquarters meant tho i
mental headquarters at Parownn, or
headquarters of thoCommauder-iu-C
at Salt Lake City; when the said (
pony hud got to Iron Creek, a
twenty miles from Codar City, Ca[
Joel White started for Pinto Creek
tlemeut, through which said com]
would pass, for tho purpose of i
onoing tho people to permit suid
pany to pass on their way in pi
I asked and obtained permission of
White to go with him und aid him i
endeavors to save life; wheu suid Y
and myself got about three miles
Cedar City, we met Major John D.
who asked us where we wero goii
replied that we were goiug to try to
veut the killing of tho emigrants
replied, "I have something to B.iy i
that;" Leu was ut that time on hil
to Parowan, the headquarters of Cc
Dame; said Whito aud I went to .
Creek; remained there one night
tho next day returned to Codar
meeting ?aid company of emtgrai
Iron Creek; beforo rem:liing Cedar
wo met ono Ira Allen, who told UH
thu decree had passed, devotiug
company to destruction;" after the
hod boeu going on for three or four
a messenger from Major Leo re
Cedar City, who stated that the fight had
not been altogether successful, upon
which Lieuteuant-Colonel Haight or?
dered out a reinforcement; at this time,
I was ordered out by Captain John M.
Highby, who ordered me to muster,
armed and equipped aB tho law di
reota;" it was a matter of life or death to
muster or not, and I mustered with tho
reinforcing troops; it was at this time
that Lieutenant-Colonel Haight said to
me that it was the orders from head?
quarters that all but the little children
f said company were to be killed; said
Haight had ut that time just returned
from headquarters at Parowan, where a
military oouucil had been held; there
had been a like council held at Parowan
previous to that, at which were present
Colonel Dame, Lieutenant-Colonel I. C.
Haight and Major John D. Lee; tho re?
sult of this first council was tho calliDg
out of said regimcut, for the purpose
already stated; tho reinforcement afore?
said waa marched to the Mountain Mea?
dows, aud there formed a junction with
the main body; Major Lee massed all
the troops at u spring, and made a speech
to them, saying that his orders from
headquarters were to kill the entire com?
pany, except the small children; I was
not in the runks at that time, but on the
side, talking to a mao named Slude, aud
could not have seen a paper in Major
Lee's hands; said Lee then Bent a flag of
truce into tue emigrant camp, olTering
said emigrants that "if they luy down
their arms, he would protect them;" they
accordingly laid down their arms, came
out from their oamp and delivered them?
selves up to said Leo; the women and
children were then, by the order of said
Lee, separated from the men, and were
marched ahead of the men; after said
emigrants had marched a half a mile to?
ward Cedar City, order waa given to shoot
them down; at that time, Lee was at the
bond of the columu; I was in the rear;
I did not hear Loo give the order to fire,
bul. heard it from the under officers UB it
was passed down the column; the emi?
grants were then and there shot down,
except seventeen little children, which I
immediately took into my charge; I do
not know the total number of said com?
pany, as I did not stop to connt the
dead; I immediately put the little chil?
dren in baggage wagons belonging to
the regiment, and took them to Hamlin's 1
Hauch, and from there to Cedar City,
and procured them homes amoug the
people; John Willis and ?Samuel Murd)'
assisted me in taking chargo of said
children; ou the eveniug of tho massa?
cre. Colonel W. H. Dame und Lieutenant
I. C. Haight carno to Hamlin's, where I
had the said children, and fell into a dis?
pute, iu the course of which he said
Haight told Colouel Dame that if hu was
going to report of the killing of said
emigrants he should not have ordered it
done; I do not kuow when or where said
troops wero disbanded; about two weekB
after said massacre occurred, said Major
Leo (who was also an Indian agent) went
to Salt Lako City, and, as I believe, re?
ported said fight und its results to the
commander-in-chief; I was not present
at either of the before-mentioned coun?
cils, nor at any council conueoted with
the aforesaid military operations, or with
said company; I gave no orders except
those connected with the saving of the
children, and those, after the massacre
had occurred, and said orders were given
as bishop, and not in a military sense; at
the time of the firing of the first volley
I discharged my piece; I did not fire
afterward, though several subsequent
volleys were fired; after the first fire was
delivered I at once sot about saving tho
children; I commenced to gather up the
children before the firing had ceased. I
have made tho foregoing statement be?
fore the above entitled court for the rea?
son that I believe that I would be nssas
natod should I attempt to make the
same before any oourt in tho Territory
of Utah. After said Lee returned from
Salt Lako City, as aforesaid, said Leo
told mo that he had reported fully to the
President, meaning the commander-in
hief, tho fight nt Mountain Meadows,
and the killing of said emigrants.
Brigham Young was at that time the
commander in-chief of tho militia of the
Territory of Utah; aud further deponent1

day for horse and his rider when tho MUSTANO
LINIMENT was introduced as a euro tor the
external diseases and injuries ot both. In
tho etablo, tho barn and the household this
wonderful emollient is equally linet ul. li a
horse is spavined, or foundered, or harnoss
galled, or aftlictbd with any other ot tho
many superficial ills that equine flesh is heir
to, tho Liniment effects a apcedy euro, and it
id equally etlloaciouB whon applied to draught
oxen or cowd sulfuring from outward swell?
ings, strains, or burts of any description. As
an application for bruises, cut*, burns, rheu
unit ism, st iii joints, sprains, neuralgia, ear
aoho and toothache, it takes precedence for
all other tropical rt ni odies, and is, therefore,
an article of uriiue necessity in families.
