Chapter 16 After Rigdon's sermon the festive mood quickly returned, and soon a large crowd was gathering on both sides of the finish line at the end of a half-mile straightaway. Early in the day, five horses had been scheduled to run in what was happily being called the Moroni Sweepstakes. Someone had suggested the name after surmising surmis-ing that Moroni, the Book of Mormon's Mor-mon's last Nephite survivor, probably had a very fast horse when he escaped the Lamanite armies. The name stuck. By race time three of the five animals had been withdrawn. No one from Kirtland wanted to run against Joseph. None of the Missouri Mormons Mor-mons thought they had a chance against Bill. And since the entry fee ' was a whole dollar, with all the money going to the winner, only two animals were left to compete. The differences between the two horses were substantial, not only in appearance, but in disposition too. Joseph's tall black was prancing sideways in anticipation of the race, already in a sweat, its head high, tail outstretched. outstretch-ed. The reins were tight, requiring almost all the strength in Joseph's strong arm to hold the black at a walk. On the other hand, the shorter, stockier Bill was walking calmly down the road, plenty of slack in the reins, his neck relaxed, ears forward, almost like he was enjoying the scenery. Port had never had a horse that remained so calm before a race, but he was sure Bill knew a race was about to begin. Though Port thought the horse's calm manner odd, the young Mormon was not worried. Bill . was a seasoned performer. When they turned to begin the race, Bill would be ready. He would give the race everything he had. "What do you call the big black?" ' Port asked as he and Joseph approached ap-proached the starting line. "Boggs," Joseph said, grinning. "After the governor?" "Of course," Joseph responded. "My horse has a hard mouth. When I jerk on the reins I always wish I could do the same thing to Boggs." j Both men laughed. Joseph was dressed like a president, presi-dent, in a long black coat and top hat Port wore homespun trousers and a clean wool shirt. Upon turning to face the finish line, Joseph and Port nodded simultaneously at each other and the : race was on, eight steel-shod hooves thundering powerfully towards the finish line, churning up a billowing cloud of brown July dust. Port was aware he was in no ordinary or-dinary horse race. He was racing against the prophet of God in front of all the prophet's followers. Perhaps he should let Joseph win. But Port was also aware of Bill, the formerly quiet gelding now gone mad, streaking towards the finish line, every muscle exploding and contracting con-tracting in perfect harmony nose outstretched, ears flat against his head, hooves pounding solidly in perfect rhythm. Bill didn't know who Joseph Smith was, nor did he care. God Himself could have been on the rangy black, and Bill wouldn't have cared. Winning the race was the only thing that mattered, nothing else. Port made no attempt to hold his horse back. Bill won, but only by half a length. "Is the bay for sale? "Joseph asked ask-ed as he and Port slowed their horses to a walk, turning back towards the cheering crowd at the finish line. "No," Port said, out of breath. "But if you want him, he's yours." "You keep him," Joseph grinned, grinn-ed, suddenly galloping ahead to greet his friends. After cooling Bill off and staking him out to graze, Port approached a group of men and boys who were Burglaries reported Orem police warn merchants to be aware that silver coins and certificates cer-tificates valued at $1,000 were stolen over the weekend in a home burglary at 400 S. Main. Police said there are no leads on the theft and the coins and certificates may be used the same as money. Home burglaries also occurred at 250 S. 100 W. and 200 S. 400 W. in which jewelry and money were taken. No estimate of value was given. Police also are investigating several auto burglaries. A family moving had packed a home stereo system valued at $12,000 only to have it stolen from the back of their car. The theft occurred at 600 N. Main. - ' $300 worth of tapes were taken from a vehicle at 400 E. 500 N. and a CB valued at $120 was taken from a vehicle at 1700 N. 100 W. Also $300 worm of stereo tapes were taken from a vehicle at 1100 N. State. A stereo valued at $120 was taken from 1200 N. State. shooting rifles and pistols at bottles - swinging on strings. As Port watched watch-ed he noticed that none of the shooters could hit the bottles with any degree of consistency. He felt the urge to show off his newly learned skills with a pistol, but held back. None of the Mormons had any idea what Port had learned from Sylvester Pussy, and Port wasn't sure he wanted them to know, not yet. He wasn't sure why he felt this way, only on-ly that the feeling was more than his normal shyness before groups and gatherings. To the Mormons around him he was a displaced ferryman who was trying to start a farm. He was pretty much ignored, left alone. He wasn't sure he wanted to give up his anonymity, at least not yet. If the Mormons knew how well he could shoot, he might be called upon to do things he was not yet ready to do. Port knew he must wait for the right time to put a gun in his hand. When that would be he didn't know, only that it was not now. He also knew that if and when he engaged in a confrontation, con-frontation, he would have a definite advantage if his opponent perceived him as a displaced ferryman instead of a polished gun hand. There was no sense throwing away such an advantage advan-tage in a bottle-shooting contest. When one of the men invited Port to join in the fun, he politely refused. As the weary Mormons returned to their homes that night, groups of furious Missourians were already gathering to discuss Rigdon's suddenly sudden-ly famous Salt Sermon. The Missourians who discussed the sermon ser-mon all came to the same conclusion: If the Mormons were going to rule the world, they sure as hell were not going go-ing to do it from Missouri. It was time for the Mormons to be driven from their promised land. (To be continued Next Week) HI WILLIAM R. HERLIN Bill Herlin's homecoming to be June 12 Elder William R.
