'4 Ot iDruiocratir Omw. Official Paper for Jarhon & Jovphinrfonntirs. FRIDAY DECEMBER 18, 1874. This tragedy took place in 1857. It implies the murder of a company of 180 emigrants in a train from Arkan sas. The place of the massacre i« known as Mountain Meadow, a small ▼alley some 300 miles southwest of Salt Lake. They had $150,000 in gold and much stock and other valuable property. Tho company was com posed of men, women and children. They were attacked by a party who seemed to he Indians, and defended themselves for five days. At the end of that time a large party of armed t Mormons appeared on the scene, says the Sacramento Union recently, the Indians having suddenly disap peared. These Mormons, as it now comes out from the children who were spared in the massacre, after treacher ously inducing the emigrants to disarm and start back towards Salt Lake, mur dered all the men and women, and spared none but the smaller children. The leader of the band of Mormons was one John D. Lee, hut others are Implicated, and will soon be brought to trial in the United States District Court at Salt Lake. Tbe Orejón Pioneer«.
