The funeral was set for yesterday and the mourn- ers and friends on arriving at the grave yard with the corpse were forbidden entranee and warned off by the opposition clique on the ground that they were seceders from the church, and had therefore forfeited all rights to the church cemetery. The party proceeded on, and arriving at the grave found that it had been filled up, and a Wrangle ensued. The party who had filled up the crave, supposing they had stopped all proceedings started off to obtain a warrant Against the alleged trespassers, and while they were absent the managers of the faneral entered the cemetery, and reopening the grave. buried the corpse and ‘lispersed.

The Mormons at the time and al- ways since have protested that the massa- cre was the work of the Indians, but the fal- sity of the statement has been made clear, not alone by the confession of one of the Turderers who took part in it, but by the facts found out in relation to the council of war held in Salt Lake previous to the mas- Sacre, and as well by the proof given in the discovery of the motive Which actuated the dastardly deed. The real cause of the bloody crime seems to have been adesire for ven- geance. A Morman elder, and a “prophet of the Mormon chureh,” whohad while preach- ing in Arkansas, eloped with the wife ef a farmer there, and who, returning to abduct the two children of the disgraced mother was murdered by the people, is said to have been the real origin of the desire for vengeance. for A JUMPING DRUGGIST.—An Indianapolis druggist came very near killing himself the other night by jumping from a tory window.
