in Clay county. Some non-Mormons leaving Jackson. Only God can stop the
mob. |

John
Corrill writes in mid-June that Jackson county mob leaders spread word
that the Mormons are coming, burn remaining
Mormon property and blame it on the Mormons. Hundreds of armed
men ready to repel any Mormon attempt to return; agitating citizens of
Clay county. Some residents leaving Jackson. Mormon intentions purely
defensive,
governor assurres
protection. |
