Soon after the purchase of the lot it was discovered that there was a blemish Soil the title. To avoid litigation the seller and Father Kelly agreed to submit the matter in dispute to Brigham Young, the Mormon president, and stand by his arbitration. Mr. Young, after exam-inin- g the deed and listening to the evidence, decided that Father Kelly was in the right and ordered that the title should he quieted, all claims against the ground settled by the former owner, and the deed handed over to the priest. Father Kelly looked upon Brigham Young as a devoted and sincere friend. One day the priest received a written notice to leave Salt Lake City. It was after the burial of Dr. Robinson, whose funeral he attended. Next day he repaired to the office of Brigham Young and handed him the notice. Mr. Young read it carefully and, after pausing for a few moments, said, Father Kelly, that was never written by my people and I can prove that from the quality of the paper used. You remain and I shall see that you shall not be disturbed and that not even a hair of your head shall be touched. Father Kelly did remain for a time, but his health was poor and he could not overcome a throat affliction and was forced after a few months to return to California. Ten years later, on January 15th, 1876, when Father Scanlan was pastor of Salt Lake, Father Kelly visited him and preached at the eleven oclock Mass at the Church of St. Mary Magdalen. At this time he called upon Brigham Young, who received him most cordially and expressed his regret that Father Kelly did not continue his ministrations in Utah, and before Father Kelly departed he was presented with a new book in which the Mormon leader had written his autograph.
