Brother Haslem has returned from Salt Lake City, with orders from Brigham to let the emigrants pass in safety." In this conversation Brother Haight also said: "I sent an order to Brother Higbee to save the emigrants, after I had sent the orders for killing them all, but for some reason the message did not reach him. I understand that the messenger did not go to the Meadows at all."
The authorities believed they were dangerous men; that they were spies from Johnston's army; and ordered the Danites to devise a plan to put them out of the way decently and in order. That the will of God might be done, these men were coaxed to go to the old distillery and take a drink. They went in company with Danites John M. Higbee, John Weston, James Haslem, and Wm.
A friend of mine, Captain Haslem, with whom I lived for a few months at Tsavo, was barbarously murdered by some members of this tribe. He left me to go up to the Kikuyu country in charge of the transport, and as he was keenly interested in finding out all about the tropical diseases from which the animals suffered, he made it his custom to dissect the bodies of those that died.
On hearing this dreadful story I at once set out to try to track the animal, and was accompanied by Captain Haslem, who happened to be staying at Tsavo at the time, and who, poor fellow, himself met with a tragic fate very shortly afterwards. We found it an easy matter to follow the route taken by the lion, as he appeared to have stopped several times before beginning his meal.
He set her down upon the sidewalk, and when a man came out to take the team they went into the hotel together. "It was the locomotive that did it," she explained. "They were most too scared for anything, but I hate to be beaten by a team. Ours know too much to try, but I got Haslem to drive me in. I dropped him at Norton's, who'll bring him on."
"He oughtn't to have left you with them," said Hawtrey severely. Sally laughed. "Well," she replied, "I'd quit driving if I couldn't handle any team you or Haslem could put the harness on." The hotels in the smaller prairie settlements offer one very little comfort or privacy.
Haight had not mentioned it to me; James Haslem, a Danite, was sent to Brigham. We went to the Meadows and camped at the springs, about half a mile from the emigrant camp. There were a larger number of Indian there fully three hundred, and I think as many as four hundred of them. The two chiefs who had been shot were in a bad way.
Bishop Klingensmith and Danite James Haslem dug a grave in a field near Cedar City, and that night, about twelve o'clock, went to Anderson's house and told him to make ready to obey the Council. Anderson got up, dressed himself, bid his family good- by, and without remonstrance accompanied those he believed were carrying out the will of Almighty God.
"He oughtn't to have left you with them," said Hawtrey severely. Sally laughed. "Well," she said, "I'd quit driving if I couldn't handle any team you or Haslem could put the harness on." In a general way, the hotels in the smaller prairie settlements offer one very little comfort or privacy.
