LIFE AMONG THE MORMONS.
Indian* Do Not Understand Mormon
Luffte—Au Unfortunate Wife—Ayo*
tatos.
From the Sew York Sun.
Lake, Sept.7.—The Mormons have
alw.v. a bad a great desire to bring tlie In
dians into their fold. Many of the aborigi
nal tribes practice polygamy, but they do
not take kindly to other features of the
Mormon faith. A missionary has been at
■work on the Sho-hont s for fifteen or twen
ty years, and has made so little progress
that he recently abandoned the held.
YV'hen ha entered their reservation he
married a squaw, and set out to make
proselytes rlgnt and left. The savage
in'nd readily r.rasped the idea of plural
m arriage, but everything else (ailed to
penetrate It. ,
Alter the missionary had been at work
for ab aut two years he concluded to take
one of his white wives down to the reser
vation to assist him. Mie was a buxom
girl from the old country, who spoke
English fairly well, and who believed
thoroughly in the doctrine which she advo
eated. It was her business to labor with
the squaws, but as she found that they
Here not particularly interested, she
gradually transferred her oratory to the
braves. ' They listened attentively, and
sue and her husband made up thetr
minds that they had at last made an im
pression. After the woman had been in
the camp a week or more, one of the war
riors presented himself at the quarters of
the missionary, and announced that he
was prepared to be a Mormon. His in
Btructois were glad to hear it. He said
he"had heard that some others were of the
Bame mind. Again the Mormons smiled.
He had made up bis mind to get ahead of
the others, and he would give the white
pn acber three ponies and ten dogs for his
w hite wile to begin w ith. This proposi
tion put anew phase on the matter, and
the missionaries spent an hour or two in
an effort to explain to him why such an
arrangement could not be made. He
never spoke after that, and wnen hp de
parted it was with a grunt, which plainly
indicated that one barbarian had deter
mined to make no new departure in the
religious line.
For the next two weeks the mission
aries had little time to do anythin* else j
blit refuse to open negotiations lor the
sale of the while woman, and us her pres
ence was resulting in no great good, slie 1
Was sent back to Zion.
Now,'after yoars of labor, the expert- j
Went has been tried again, and with the
same result. The Snoshones will be Mor- i
moils if they can buy white wives, but i
not otherwise. The missionary, who has
accumulated an interesting assortment ,
©! Indian wives during his stay on the
reservation, has abandoned them, and, it
is said, will not return there again.
An honest-looking F.nglisbnian named
Mower arrived here a lew years ago with
hl w ife and three small children, and
had settled at Brigham. The man was i
Industrious, hut he appeared to l>e some
thing of a fanatic In religion. It was
plain that the Saints had got a pretty tirm i
grip on him. His wife was a tair-bnired,
rosy-cheeked little woman, and their
children were delicate and attractive.
The wife and mother went through the
ceremony ot joining the church niter her
arrival. The husband had been received
into the fold before leaving Knglaud.
They got themselves a home, and ap- !
peared happy enough, until tb" husband,
over-persuaded by an elder of the church,
determined on taking another wile. The
woman selected was anew arrival
from Denmark, who could speak no En
glish, and for whom it was the especial
desire of the church to get a husband that i
•he might be “anchored” here. Mower J
w as the man who was expected to marry i
her. aud marry her he did. His wife held
out strenuously against the woman lor
some time, and refused to live under the
same toof with her, hut at last, under the
jib adings and threats of dignitaries or the
church and the representations of her
husband as to his ow n poverty and inabil
ity to plot ide two homes, she consented.
After that she began to appear like
another woman. Her hair became sil
very, her form wasted, and her eyes were
bright and glittering. She wandered
over the country a great deal with her
little ones, and could be seen day alter
day on the roadsides caressing and weep
ing ovei them. Sometimes In pleasant
weather see did not return to
her borne for days, and whin she did she
would have the children decked out in
wreaths and flowers gathered by her own
hands in the valleys. Her husband fol
lowed her, and tried to persuade her to
return and be herself, but to no purpose. 1
Tnen he locked her up or took the child
ren away from tier. She would find them
again, and together they would return to
the open country. All were subdued and
sorrowful, aud yet the childishness of the
mother was as pronounced as that of her
children. She would run with them, kiss
them, build little dams for them in the
brooks, construct playhouses for them of
stones, weave garlands, and deck her
self and them. It they cried she gathered
them to her, and wept with them, and if
they laughed she chilled them.
Finally her mood changed, and, Instead
ot delighting tn rambles with the little
ones, sue became absorbed in a desire tor
vengeance, she would steal up stealth ly
to the house which was hers no longer,
and make assaults on the woman who had
usui p< and her place. Once she set tire to
the premises, and then lied. On another
occasion she took her children and was
absent so long that search was made for
her. Alter three or four days she was
found several miles from home, almost
d'-ail from hunger, and the children weak
anil i msciated from the same cause, and
all crying bitterly. She had dug small
holes in the ground, which she called their
graves, and the little ones were wailing
with her for the last dread summon*.
Three men found difficulty in overpower
ing her, despite her weakened condition,
and the entire party were then conveyed
to town and cared lor. The children went
to their father, and the woman was
placed iu !he asylum at l'rovo, where she
now is.
Home of the Mormon settlements are
owned by bishops of the church, and no
transfer ol real estate ran be ms do with
out their consent. Down iu Moult tbo
o' her day a very common trick was played
on a (Untile family from ltlch county.
They settled there under the impression
ttiHt it wss a good place to do tnisiiiSss tn.
but the oppression or the priesthood tw
opmc so great that they Anally concluded
to leave h.r their old home. No one would
buy their property, because the Idea was
that they would abandon it. and it would
then revert once more to the Its hop. One
of the members ot the family, a young
man, recently married, had a lot which
he had paid JfiiHi for, and Hu
apostate Mormon wanted it at the same
price. Both went to the Bishop to
get a deed, but that worthy refused to ap
prove of the transfer. The Gentile exe
cuted a war dunce tor about in minutes,
with a revolver in one hand and a bow ie
knife in the other, and at the conclusion
of his performance the deed was signed,
the Bishop calling on God and the angels
t" forgive him tor turning over any por
tion of thr church's slake to an apostate.
These apostut s arc more common than
most people imagine, only last week an
elderly couple who had been recruited in
Tennessee backed out aud started for
home, anil a day or tw T o later a colony
from Idaho, which had been brought here
at considerable expense, reuounced the

THE MEANEST KINOOF ROBBER
He induced (George Sykes to Hold Up
Stage Three Times In One Day.
From the Feu York Sun.
I’lackrville, Cal., Sept. s.—The re
cent. sta e robbery in Montana, In which
a man named Gordon betrayed his part
ner, has a great interest to an inmate of
! the jail here named Tom Kline. Kline is
in trouble about a stage robbery himself,
aud he claims to know all about Gordon,
who was represented in this Montana
robbery as conspiring with the authorities
to get a well-known road agent named
Jackson into trouble. The Montana stage
was robbed by Jackson and Gordon of
$12,000, but, owing to the fact the au
thorities were quickly on their trail, both
were captured before they could secrete
the money, Jackson going to jail and
Gordon receiving SSOO and freedom.
“That’s the way these fellows work,”
said Kline to-day “They have done more
to break up the business than all the
detectives that were ever put on the road.
You bear every once in a while how some
man goes into the staging business alone.
tVell, that's because there’s nobody that
you can trust. It is about the only way
that a man in this line can have any
safety at all.
“I knew Jim Gordon Ift years ago when
he was operating in this State, and a
meaner cuss never breathed, lie has
jugged some of the best men on the road.
When be first began operations nobody
suspected him! In 1M74 he was captured
three times over in Calaveras county, but
got. away, though his companions did not.
We never thought there was anything
singular about it, but just attributed It to
his good luck. A year or two later ha
was caught again, and once more the
officers tailed to make out a case against
him. Just then be was thrown in my
way. One day he suggested that we
ought to be at work, and a more blood
thirsty man l never saw. He wanted to
kill every driver and passenger on the
Mokelumne road, and was so desperate
that 1 began to be afraid to operate with
him. Finally he cooled down and we
went into business together.
“We held up two stages in two days’
running, and the third day we got salted.
He claimed to know that the stage due
that day had a big bullion box on it, and
said that the driver was an old friend of
his, who would stand In with us. When
the wagon rolled up to where we were
we jumped out, and Gordon fired his gun.
1 got scared, because 1 thought he was
going to overdo the matter, and l said
something of a warning nature to him.
He pretended that his gun had gone off
accidentally. Just then we discovered
that there was nobody in the stage, and
Gordon called the driver by name.
The latter said there was no use of killing
him. He had a bullion box, and would
give it up if we would divide. Gordon
winked at me and said ot course we
would, but he must drive on and trust to
our generosity the next time \Ve met. He
mounted and drove on, and Gordon and
1 began to break open the box. We bad
not been at work more thut ten minutes
when there was a whoop and a yell, and
atiout ad zen regulators had us oorraled.
When we came to trial the prosecuting
attorney said he teared he did not have
evidence enough to convict Gordon, and
he dismissed the suit, but be sent me up
for seven years. I got to thinking about
that thing when I was in San Quentin,
and 1 figured it all out. (Jordon had been
at work on me and had done me up for
the benefit oi the Sia'e. I resolved to kill
him when I got out, but I never found
him.
“Two years ago 1 beard of him again in
the northern part of the State. He then
went under the name of Simmons, be
cause all tbe boys hereabouts bad got him
marked. He played it up there on old
(•gorge Svkes in a worse wav (bun he did
on me. George had been in tbe business
ever since tbe State was settled, and be
rather prided himself on his ability to
ke'p out of jail. He often used to say
that the detective hadn’t l>een fiorn yet
who could down him. One day he tell in
wit h Gordon. At tiiat time Gordon was
passing himself off as a member ol t lie .lease
James 'rang who bad been compelled to
move West because Missouri was too hot
for him. I don’t believe any other dodge
could have caught old George. He was a
great admirer of Jesse, ami Gordon put
him to sleep every night tor a montn with
anecdotes of that great man. Huving
gained the old man's confidence in this
way. it waa not long before Gordon had
him at work planning a stage robbery.
Nearly everything that George suggested
was unsatisfactory to Gordon, who would
say that Jesse James wouldn’t soil bis
hands or his conscience witn such little
jobs ss that. George got an idea that he
was traveling in pretty fast company, but
thinking that it was time for him to" take
lessons he leit the details of the robbery
to Gordon.
“In all ot his talks Gordon said that his
idea of doing things was to paralyze tbe
oountry. He wanted to rob two or three
stages in one day, or, better still, to rob
the same stage two or three times, in or
der, as be said, to have fun as well as
profit. The old man finally agreed to the
[alter proposition, just to have a little
sport, as he put it, and they made their
arrangements accordingly. They knew
that the Oroville stage was a good one,
and, on some pretended knowledge which
Gordon had received, they agreed to strike
it early in the morning, again after din
ner, and once more for luck after supper.
When they stopped it first old George
was delighted. There was a full load
of passengers, several mail bats,
and some treasure, and they got
a bit haul without any trouble at all.
Then they rode around, and headed it oil
again. By this time there were one or
two new passengers and another mall
bag. aud they made some f the original
passengers come down again. George
said he never had so much fun In his life,
and he began to wonder what they would
say whon they were put through the third
course ot sprouts in theevening. Gordon
told him that t hut was nothing to what be
would show him in the course of time.
They would run the whole State and some
of the Territories. While they wore rid
ing around in trout of tbe stage for the
third hold up Gordon told George that
Jesse Jarieu and his crowd frequently
committed their robberies without filing
a gun or -bowing a weapon, and he said
that It would not lie necessary for them
to do any shooting with this crowd. They
bad felt of them twice, nnd they were
cl srly tenderfoot whom it won and he no
credit to hurt. They would just have fun
with them in the dark. It was agreed
that Gordon was to itand ready to use his
gun if necessary, ami that George was to
search them. The coach was stopped, the
passengers brought out and put in line,
and old George, snickering all the time,
proceeded to go through them. Just as he
grabbed the first muu lie telt a revolver
barrel under his nose, and he yelled to
Gordon:
“•There's a gun down here!*
“•Nevermind,’ says Gorduu; ‘go right
i on with your fun.’
, “Old George made a move to get his own
! weapon, but desisted oil a word of warn
ing Horn his nearest victim, who then or
; dered him to throw up his hands. Tills
! Uc did, and ten seconds later they hail him
I chained to the bottom of tho coach, and
Gordon was riding on top with the driver.
Every man in the coach was a detective,
and old George had been taken tn. The
J next day Gordon went back over the
: route and secured all the plunder which
they had secreted, and ri turned it to his
| pals. Ho got JT.Vt for that job, and old
I George got shout fifteen years. 1 believe.
, “Gordon finally became too well known
hereabouts to be of much good, and he
went over to Montana, It appears. Ho is
no friend of the road agent.”

DANGEROUS KOOKS AT SEA.
The Captain of the British Shin Bee
thoven Report* an Important Discov
ery.
From the Philadelphia Three.
A most important discovery was made
by Capt. It. A. Williams, master of the
British ship Beethoven, which arrived at
this port recently from Antwerp. He re
ports that on July 2ft, between lat. 43:4ft
and 43:38 and long. 52 and .">l:2b, he sighted
three dangerous rocks and immediately
called all the officers and crewot the ship
to get into the rigging and assist in
locating them. They could be
distinctly seen from the deck of the ship,
but observations were taken aloft in or
der that their size could bo better meas
ured. The sea was seen breaking over
them with terrific fury, accompanied with
huge breakers. Sea birds were also seen
hovering atiout in numbers In search of
fish common to shoal water. The obsta
cles. so dangerous to navigation, lie in a
direction running from Dorth-northeast to
south-southwest, the two southernmost
rooks lying close together. After spend
ing some time at work, a heavy 6t;a coin
ing up, with the appearance of a gale,
the snip's course was changed towards
her destination.
Limits. Wyekofl and Barroll, of the
Philadelphia branch hydrographic office,
who have been in charge of United Hlutes
vessels as navigators, believe in the ex
istence ot these rocks and think that they
have been tbo cause of tbe loss of many
vessels which have never been heard from
after leaving port ( apt. McDonald, of
the British ship Winnefred, says that he
has seen seaweed floating In this vicinity,
having frequently caught it in his log.
IDs views are indorsed by many compe
tent navigators.
W. C. Bartlett, the chief of the hydro
graphic office at Washington, has made
application to the Secretary of the Navy
for permission to send a war vessel to
search for these rocks, heretofore un
known to navigators, but which are sup
posed to have been the cause of the loss
of many transatlantic steamers. These
rocks are termed pinnacle rocks, and arc
from three to five feet high at low water,
and are exceedingly difficult to find.
