Dependent as they had always been, since their settlement in Utah, upon Eastern merchants for an annual supply of groceries, dry goods, wearing-apparel of all descriptions, and every article of luxury, their stock of some of even the necessaries of life such as coffee, tea, sugar, tobacco, calicoes, boots and shoes, stationery was at this time nearly exhausted.
Certain others who had just happened in, thinking to hear the proceedings, were, indeed, invited to leave. Colonel Button, as post commander and principal accuser, was, of course, at his usual desk. Colonel Riggs, his jealously regarded rival, was seated at a little table, whereon was much stationery and a stack of memoranda.
