The Speech of Big Elk, the Omaha Chieftain, and the First De- corded Real Kstate Transaction, [ Written for the Omaha Sunday Bee.| The Mormons of Utah have attracted so much notice of Jate that at the men tion of the name our thoughts are at onee borne away to the territory of Utah and we do not realize that there are thousands of Mormons scattered over various parts of ‘the United States, who are a separate and distinet el of people from them. In every state in the wunion they hay their branches, sometimes small and insignifi- cant_and again large and prosperous Even staid old Massachusetts, the home of the purit athers and the seat of orthodox christiznity, contains nu merous representatives of this religious seet. It may not be known to many that in Omaha and vicinity the Mormons arc well represented and that there is in the northern part of the eity flourishing ehureh, or branch,as they preferto eallit, They have no afliliation whatever with, and are strongly opposed to what « under the name of Mormonis Utah, and believe that *‘'man should have but one wife,” and if they obey the tenets of their religion they cannot come in conflict with the ws of the country The advent of the Mormons to this city dutes way back to the year when BRIGHAM YOUNG began his march across the great Ameri can desert to the vromised land, In that d Council Blufls w, the great rendezyous for the saints and it was there that they laid in their supplies and prepared for their tedious mareh to the westward, A good many families pleased with the country settledein and around Omaha. Some of the oldest and most respected eitizens of Douvglas county were Mormons. The ongim of the Mormon doctrine, the death of the prophet Joseph Smith, the founding of the Mormon city of Nauvoo and its wonderful growth, have all be- come matters of history, and while pos- sessing features of particular interest the events which more nearly affect us tr pired at a later date. The city of Nuu- rched the zenith of “its power vhen the disputes between the Mormons and their Gentile neighbors re- sulted in the reveal of the charter, and the Mormons began pre rations to seck a more congenial place abode in the west, Early in 1816 the Mormons began cross- ing the Mis: ppi river to the lowa side and on the 15th of the same month Brig- ham Youngerossed and joined the ecamps of Israel, as the Mormons styled their resting pla Se ing away the snow they would ercet their tents upon the frozen ground and, building large fires in front, would make themselves as com- ble under the circum- At themr first encampment the rmometer, atone time. fell tw gregs below zero. 1t would be diflicult to Tizo the sufferings of a people just driven from comfortable homes, under the rigors of such a climate, and pro- tected by the frail covering of canvas tents.

In September, 1846, the city of Nauvoo was cannonaded for three days by the lllinois troops, and the remaining inhabitants were drivenfont at yomt of the bayonet. As soon'as the mp of Isracl was fully on the march, ham Young divided 1t into con s of hundreds, fifties and tens, and when moving they marched with the pre- cision of an army. When the advanced guard bad REACILED COUNCI and the main body w cast, the Mormons re ed a request from the United ites government to raise u battalion for the war then pend- ing between our government and Mex- ico. They responded with alacrity, and their best men gath t Council Blufls and enrolled themselves, thus form- ing the famous battalion. Colgnel Kan the brother of the great Arectic explorer of that name, organized the volunteers and beeame very popular among the Mormons, 8o much so in fact, that they called Council Bluffs Kane: ville, in"his honor. The Mormon battahon was transported to Californin, but a rived too late to take any active part in the war, as peace had already been d clared. The battalion was therefore dis- banded, and a few of the men found em- ployment in_ working on Captain Sut- It mill race, at & point about sixty miles above the present city ot Sacri- mento. While engaged in” the work there, in the spring of 1848, they DISCOVE GOLD, and slated i Bek a short time ago, i i Sherman, then a young lieutenant, who tested it and made the first ofticial report of its discovery to our i;n\n-ruuu-nL Thus 1t was left to this bund of Mormons, who had been aceused of disloy: BLUFFS, il 130 miles Ity to their country and driven from their homes in Ilhnois, to find upon that barren shore the precious metal which was to open up the Pacitic slope and grant to this country a boom whose value can only be estimated in the light of subsequent” events. ‘Uhese men after- ards returned to this section for their nilies, bringing with them the first alitornin gold ever seen in Omaha. With the departure of the battalion from Council Blufls, vamshed tht possi- bility of makin, y further progress in their mareh during that season, and they immediately set to work to locate and build their WINTER QUARTERS A grand council was held at Council ~ Bluffs with the Pottawat- tume Indians who welecomed the Mormons with a spivit of sympathy for they too, not many years gone, had been driven westward from Hlinois. But the Mormons had most to do with the Omaha Indians, for their camps were located on both the east and west sides of the Mis sourt river. The winter quarters proper were on the west side, a short distance above the present city of Omaha. There on a sightly platean, overlooking the river, near the present site of FLORENCE, the Mormons coustructed m a few months over 100 houses, The town was laid out in regular order, with highways and by ways, and fortitied with stock and block houses. It had, too, its pl of worship, * rnacle of the congreg tion,"" for it was their custom to keep up the charaeter of the modern Isracl. Th industry of the peopnle was plainly evi denced by the workshops and mill3 tactories which sprang up as if by magio he location of the head: ters brought the Mormons into Mculinr re- lationis with the Omah: A grand coun- vil.was also held between theirehiefs and the elders of the Mormons. Big Flk, th chivfofthe tribe,oue of the carlicst oflivials of Omaha of whom we have any record, welcomed the Mormons with every word of hospitality. Big Elk, as would appear from the records, was as much given to speech making as have been some of the more modern mayors of Omaha, It may be of interest to the people of Omah who have listened so_often to the elo- quent addresses of ex-Mayor Chase, to know something of the manner in which this rly oflicial dignitary expressed himself. “Hence we reproduce his speech in answer to Brigham Young, as follows; “My son, thou hast spoken well. I have all thou hast said in my heart. have much I want to say. We are_wnoor When we go to hunt game in_one place, we meet an enemy, and so in_another place our enemi kill us. We do not kill them. [ hope we will be friends. You may stay on these lands two years or morc. Our young men will watch your cattle. We would be glad to have you trade with us. We will warn you of danger from other Indians,” After the council 1 adjourned the Mormons gave a banguet in honor of the Omahas. Very little is known about this first great Omaha banquet, for the hotels of that day had not learned the ad- vantage of inviting in the reporters of the leading datly pavers and henee no record was made of the affair, not even the menu being published The Omahas had good reason for being pleased with the presence of the white people among them. The Mormons hat- vested and cured their erops of maize and, in spite of their own poverty spared them food enough, from time to tie, to keep them from starving. Their fortitied town served as a barrier against the in cursions of the hostile Sioux. The Mormons were carcful, in all the dealings with the Indians, to | Taw on their side, and one of their st cts was to obtain the legal title to the nds on wlhich they had settled. Bi. standing Elk and Little Chief, wh pear to have been the only agents among the Omahas at 1 date, signed an ‘ment leasing to the Mormong, for the s of two years, the Jands which they had oceupied. It may be surmised, from the fact that the lands were leased and not sold outright, that the Omahas were holiding on for'a raise lIue of real estate, and that the 18 expected to arrive in short L as the lands were leased for only two years.
