grow up together from boyhood and in ma may y 1817 1 had the pleasure of baptizing him into the church of jesus christ of latter day saints this was in scotland the land of our nativity in 1848 1818 we left our home and came to this country in obedience to the commands of god to us u in common with all members of the church to which we belong where we believed god his church and kingdom from that time V to the day of his death we were intimately acquainted with each other oar earliest ser vicea in tah country were performed in the mountains mountain quarrying rock for the erection of our public buildings we labored together not only as workmen but lu many other capacities he was a police policeman ruan tuan while I 1 was captain of af boyie of if this city an ani 1 in that capacity as in all othera othe re ra I 1 nestr knew a bad baul trait in hia his character he was on call tu to discharge dis dir charge bis his dut duty yand main talked that frajt to 10 the toe day of bis death he succeeded me aa captain of police in isea in a which office with that of bist bisi ahado hal bal of fhe gha city he fell a victim under the hand of death while in lathe the dh dhe harge charge of

BO would take up too much time to the sons bons of brother andrew burt bart I 1 would say follow in the footsteps of your youn father in hib bib faithfulness to the truth so BO that you may be ba prepared to share with him in the ble bie blessings inga ings and glories of his ris kingdom I 1 pray god to blesa bless the family who are now called coiled upon to mourn and enable them to bear this great ca calamity limIty so imd suddenly denly fallen upon them PRESIDENT josepht P F SMITH was the next speaker ep eaker eaber he eaid eald the people had not assem nesem assembled bled bied to hear particularly of the career of brother burts ourt burt whose history was already written in the hearts of thousands and nothing that could be bald baid would add to 10 hial his lustre he was faithful unassuming efflo efficient lents kindhearted kind hind hearted and devoted he was always at his bis post in preserving the peace of this city full of discretion and good judgment the speaker felt sad bad that the community had lost tb the a services of so good a man and so true a saint president smith had bad been requested by his a associates of the city cily council to speak on the occasion but ay as had already been stated state dj he would prefer perhaps to speak in reference to those glorious principles of salvation to which brother burt had been true as aa a man of god from the day that brother sharp conducted him into the waters of bruam for the remission of bins bills there was no speck of doubt that he would reap the reward of a faithful unimpeachable earthly mi mission abion aBlon it 16 was a comfort to his relatives and friends to I 1 know that a crown of righteousness wab was laid up for him ana and that he bad gone but a few moments before to prepare a place for those he had left behind he had laid a foundation that would enable him to become like his heavenly father these things bad been made known to and they were not in the dark in regard to tor them from 1817 when brother andrew burt embraced the gospel he be had been unflinching and true and end having received all thet ther necessary keys of power and the blessing blessings s of abra ham having been pronounced upon his head to his hig increase there would be lie no end he had secured to himself by eternal laws wives and child ren reng whom he would possess for ever eo 80 long as aa they continued faithful he had done nothing to forfeit any ny blessing that had bad been promised to him he e had bad conquered death he had bad lived not in the fear of the grave graver became because he knew that when it should be laid down he would again tahe tabe his body up never liever more to be subject to pain or suffering or death all that we had to regret was that he was not here to continue a useful career careers but others would be raised up who would ba faithful and true ja ashe be had been brother eurt burb had always a implored the divine blessing when entering upon any hazardous duty daty he was wad warned in a dream dremin of his fate and perhaps if he had headed heeded more closely the suggestions of the spirit especially when he saw the dark visage of his assassin he might have been permitted to remain a little while longer yet the speaker recognized the hand of gody gods who would overrule the sad event for good the speaker then exhorted all to heed the admonitions of the spirit that they might be ba preserved from danger he ut he the following words one more thought I 1 desire to express and that is jn in behalf of the guardians of the peace of the rights and of the liberties of the people there is not a man who Is ia called to perform the duties of a policeman who does not carry in his bis hand haud his life every hour that he be is in the discharge of his duty we live in this wo tt rn country we are surrounded by mines and by miners not that minera mearis means but a clasi of people rather gather in here and in the tha wida mida ot the rocky mout who are of ilfe life and andoe of everything i lie lae we live in this country cou atry and it la Is the rendezvous of the off of the earth and of the worst char ackers that walk upon the earth they gather here from time to time and salt lake city is see eee seemingly raf rat angly a very attractive place for t this h I 1 a class of characters they come here to spend a few days imbued mith with lue uwe idea that a mormon has no rights that an american citizen is bound baund to respect leepe ct and consequent that to shoot down a 91 mormon or on even though he may be an 0 officer car of the law lav in the discharge othia of hib his duty would be applauded by the world and that a man in so eo doing would gain honor and credit thereby this makes it more dangerous for these noble men whom we have selected and ani ani upon whom we have imposed the duty of watching our rights und our oun liberties libert less feby and my prayers have ever ascended in their behalf that they might be as assisted elated la in the dis disi charge of their Ver perilous lious ilous duties and hitherto it has been marvelous marve lous ious in my eyes to observe the extent to which the lord bas has protected and S delivered them from danger from the power of the destroyer and from a death such as our beloved brother has met at last and I 1 hope and trust and pray that my brethren of the pollee police force of thib this sity city olty will be cautious in the discharge of their duty and that they let this terrible occurrence currence cc prove a warning to them in this respect and when god speaks to you yon my friends by means meano or of a dream or by jay the tho influence of the thib holy spirit let it not pass out of your memory keep your eye upon the marks mark and when you go forth to discharge your duty remember what the whisperings whisp eringa g of the spirit has buggs suggested ted to you and seek seeh to preserve your lives for your lives are far more precious to co the people of thia thib city than a thousand such lives as the worthless creature who was the instrument ment in the hands of the devil devils th the destroyer destroyers in taking awn awny away the a ilfe life of one of the best men that ever lived thousands of such buch creatures well weli there is no comparison you can make no comparison nothing in that line can compensate for the 10 loss 3 FJ of the life of one good man save bave your lives thep be cautious and prudent and when you meet danger seek to look out for your own Protect protection lon ion and for the protection of the people whose guardians you are arc the speaker concluded his remarks by offering appropriate words of exhortation and consolation to the family and friends of t the he deceased JOHN addressed the congregation he said I 1 hav have ejust just returned from quite a lengthy trip through many of our out settlements and was a long distance from here when the news newa reached me of the event which has hat stricken so eo many hearts with grief and sadness there are boino some bome things I 1 wish to speak about all perhaps has been eald eaid that is necessary in regard to the personal character of the honor faithfulness and integrity of the man whose body lies before us ug and whose spirit has passed to another state of existence my heart was moved with feelings of sympathy and affection when I 1 heard of this melancholy affair af fairand and I 1 heard of it a very short whort time after it occurred I 1 felt sorrowful that an event of that kind should have transpired in our peaceful city I 1 felt sorrowful for the manner in which so BO good and valuable a 6 man had met his death and then than I 1 felt sorrowful for the circumstances which transpired in connection with it not that these things are ane uncommon in the world but they ought to be so eo since then a man has been hung in park city as the unfortunate was here but there Is ia very little said about that such things frequently occur in the surrounding country but bat it Is the circumstances associated soc boc socia ted with these things that make them unpleasant it makes little difference whether our lives are short or long here if we are walking in the right paths and are prepared to meet our god theun the un fortunate individual who met his death at the hands of the mob here I 1 am sorry to say met it in a manner that Is ig prevalent to a mani grea great extent in this thib western region and is carried out very extensively ten throughout the land there seems to be h careless nebs nebb a recklessness reek of human life that is spreading and growing there appears to be a breaking up of thom those kindly and fraternal feelings that ought to cement man to man and unite neighborhoods and communities muni ties in the interests of the common weal and these thinks things as same various shapes in different places in this nation and other nations A general disintegration ia gradually progressing both in communities mun muni ties ittes and nations in russia for instance which la Is a government entirely dissimilar to that of oursa ours life lire liberty and property have been held for a long time by a very precarious tenure in england ireland austria tria tila italy prance france spain and other others european same bame element is progressing and the existence of communities in many districts is threatened and the bame same kind of spirit seems to prevail in tills country f which 13 emphatically called the landof the free the home of the beave brave and the asylum of the 0 ap pp 11 10 d I 1 in the national legislature tu I 1 rl tho principles of constitutional freedom are being tampered with and seriously ignored and disorder and confusion are entering into all tho the ramifications ot 01 society all kinds of irregularities are being introduced there seems seema to be a general laxity of public morals a general lack jack of confidence one in another in a variety of shapes political social religious and other othen otherwise wises and men are entering into secret associations and combinations for aggression and protection there are for instance very strong combinations of labor against capital and capital against labor that are threatening to undermine the social of this nation this Is of a more serious nature than many suppose it to be confidence la is lacking and thebo thebe fraternal feelings t that atouk ought tto to exist as between man and man an neighborhood and neighborhood borho bo city and city am are more or less broken up and every man manja seems beems to be in pursuit of an object of his own and combinations are entered into for the accomplishment of political social and other purposes when we speak of a manlike man like the he la Is an unfortunate man that has given himself away to evil of whom there are a great many of his class wo do not expect much of a man of that kind bind we no not expect any degree of ty of honor of truth of integrity from such a man unfortunately buch auch men prowl around ilke like wild beatta tearing and destroying whatever comes in their way there Is no particular animus in the actions of a man of that thai kind klud he know nothing probably about the deceased but as a wild animal would da when brought to bay he bo sought to destroy those who followed in pursuit it was under such fauch circumstances that our beloved brother met his death then followed a scene which I 1 could have wished had never transpired here but which did take our people and bome some others frenzied all feeling reeling the common instincts of humanity being horni horri led Oed at the atrocious deed which had bad been committed sought to lo wreak summary vengeance and hung the ae sassin that was not a matter of much importance it would bave saxe the mockery of justice which is so BO often exhibited in the case of criminals but men ought not to let iet their passions control them they should ie reflect before engaging in such operations it may be said that it was an act of violence true it may be said that here was a violation |
