centro centre of their gorpup one of them asked of the others in in attendance are the ropes and withes ready receiving an affirmative answer they placed the elders in standing positions facing each esch other and told them to say whatever they had to say just at this point james caudle a young man living in the neighborhood who had become apprised of the outrage on the unoffending missionaries appeared on the scene and be began bean an apra upbraiding up raiding alding the mob in strong lang language aage and threatened to have them all indicted c shoot him was the cry immediately and two shots were fired I 1 in n his direction but both missed their mark dark they then seized and hurried caudle away just about this time one of the rum ruf ruffians flans standing near brother bille billa who was securely pinioned by several of the mob aimed a blow at his face but it just grazed his chin and struck his chest without on t hurting him soon afterward while the mob party were debating as to whether they should give the brethren each 30 lashes lashea on the bare back a lady with a lantern sister vernon vemon of the house where the elders had been stopping approached the group They still were considering the question of inflicting torture upon their helpless prisoners and put the vote to the crowd of whether 15 lashes at least should not be admin adain to each the ayes and noes were taken and the decided ediff in iff the negative the villains were evidently afraid of the indict ments threatened by mr caudle after this seeing the lantern coming towards them and doubtless supposing it was a rescuing party the mob took to their heels and left the brethren standing unharmed they were taken by friends back to th the house from which they had bad been so rudely hurried away and not only passed the night there but remained several days afterward aft eward they heard no no more of the regulators during that visit but on return returning returning in 9 to the
