One fine morning, John Ferrier was about to set out to his wheatfields, when he heard the click of the latch, and, looking through the window, saw a stout, sandy haired, middle aged man coming up the pathway. His heart leapt to his mouth, for this was none other than the great Brigham Young himself. ONE FINE MORNING JOHN FERRIER WAS ABOUT TO SET OUT TO HIS WHEAT FIELDS WHEN HE HEARD THE CLICK OF THE LATCH AND LOOKING THROUGH THE WINDOW SAW A STOUT SANDY HAIRED MIDDLE AGED MAN COMING UP THE PATHWAY HIS HEART LEAPT TO HIS MOUTH FOR THIS WAS NONE OTHER THAN THE GREAT BRIGHAM YOUNG HIMSELF
f armed men, masked, stealthy, and noiseless, who flitted by them in the darkness. These tales and rumours took substance and shape, and were corroborated and re-corroborated, until they resolved themselves into a definite name. To this day, in the lonely ranches of the West, the name of the Danite Band, or the Avenging Angels, is a sinister and an ill-omened one. Fuller knowledge of the organization which produced such terrible results served to increase rather than to lessen the horror which it inspired in the minds of men. None knew who belonged to this ruthless society. The names of the participators in the deeds of blood and violence done under the name of religion were kept profoundly secret. The very friend to whom you communicated your misgivings as to the Prophet and his mission, might be one of those who would come forth at night with fire and sword to exact a terrible reparation. Hence every man feared his neighbour, and none spoke of the things which were nearest his heart.
