LIFE in SALT LAKE CITY; OR, A Visit to the Mormons. BY LEON LEWIS, AUTHOR OF "THE GIRL HERMIT," "THE BOY MA-GICIAN," "THE BROKEN HOME," "RED KNIFE," ETC., ETC., ETC. CHAPTER XXIX. AN IMPENDING TEMPEST. On what strange grounds we build our hopes and fears! Man's life is all a mist, and in the dark Our fortunes meet us! DRYDEN. The report of a pistol blended with the wild cry of astonishment that burst from the lips of Elder True, as he became conscious of Harry's presence in the closet. Then there was a heavy fall, succeeded by a hoarse chuckle of triumph from Coulter. "I thought I'd fetch him," exclaimed the Bishop, as he flourished his smoking weapon exultingly. "The minute you opened the door, Elder, I saw the Gentile's white fore-head looming out of the darkness, and com-prehended the whole matter. I accordingly took a shot at him over your shoulder, and I flatter myself, pretty promptly—yes, pretty promptly!" "You did indeed," assented True, as he bent over the prostrate body. "You've settled his hash—as sure's preachin" But jest keep quiet a minute. Let's see if the noise has stirred up the women, or any of the neighbors." They both listened intently a moment, but not a sound disturbed the silence, either within the adjoining dwellings or in the street. "No, it's too late for that," muttered Coul-ter. "A single shot, in that way, never dis-turbs anybody. It takes a second shot to fix attention. And so—you've got rid of your tormentor a little sooner and a little easier than you expected!" A glow of fiendish jubilance quickly chased away the scared look which had hovered tem-porarily upon the Elder's features. He drew a long breath of relief. "Yes, he's done for," he declared. "And no one but ourselves, Bishop, 'll be any wiser for his disappearance from the stage of na-tur'. See how still he is! See how he bleeds!" "Drag him out here," enjoined Coulter. "Let's take a good look at him!" True hastened to lay hold of the motionless figure and drag it out into his office, while the Bishop held the light. Then the couple proceeded to note the effect of the Bishop's shot. "You can see where the ball hit him," said Coulter, indicating a red spot on the left tem-ple. "It has entered his brain. He's dead as a door nail!" "Hardly," returned True, as he relinquished his hold of Harry. "See! there is life in him! Let's look a little sharper. Ah! I see how it is. The ball tore along the scalp, and then glanced off—" "But, in this case, he isn't dead nor dying!" "No, he isn't," declared True emphatically, after further examinations. "The ball cut a few veins, so that he bleeds like a butcher; but it did not enter his head. He is only stunned! Another bullet is needed!" As he made this horrible suggestion, the Elder drew a revolver, and placed the muzzle to the ear of the unconscious Gentile. "Hold!" muttered Coulter, staying the hand of his confederate. "That won't answer. Another shot'd be sure to call in some of your women or the neighbors. A dozen ears may be listening. No, that won't do. We must kill him with a knife." "The knife, then," returned True, as he drew a huge hunting-knife from beneath his coat. "No, that won't do either. He'd make the room look like a butcher's shop. I know a better way than that. You see that trunk in the corner ?" Coulter observed the receptacle in question closely. It was a large, oaken chest, of the sort in frequent use among foreign immigrants, al-most black with age, heavily banded with iron, and furnished with three stout locks. " I brought that trunk from Missouri, when all my worldly effects wouldn't half fill it," said True. "I bought it of a German, and it has seen good service, I can tell you. We'll stow our young friend here into the chest, and lock him in. In fifteen minutes he'll be a corpse." "Very good," approved Coulter. "We can then bury him at our leisure. This is the easi-est way to get rid of him. We can't be too spry. He moves again. Another moment and he'll have the city buzzing about our ears." True hurried to the chest, unlocked it, and dragged from its cavernous depths a few books and articles of wearing apparel. Then he re-turned to Harry, signed to the Bishop to assist him, and the two transported their still in-sensible captive to the chest, into which they cautiously lowered him. True then shut down the lid, locked it trebly, and stowed the key in his pocket. "He's disposed of," he ejaculated, in tones of gratulation. "That much is safe. He can come to now at his leisure, and much good may his return to consciousness do him!" "A good job finished!" declared Coulter, rubbing his hands. " And the best of it is, we've aroused no one. The next thing to be done is to dispose of Dr. Burton, but that is arranged for. As for the matter of cleaning out the church treasury, we must push that through, at once." "Of course, of course, Bishop," assented True. " I have got to visit the gal to-morrer evenin', but I will have the men all here in my office to-morrer night at one o'clock, when you must be here also to take the lead. Night is the best time to work in—the only time to work unseen—and I'll step around now and call upon the men, and give them warnin' of the intended meetin'. I must send for our men who are outside the city." At this juncture a faint movement was heard proceeding from within the chest. "I'll go, too," said Coulter, drawing on his gloves. " Osburn's safe enough, and I don't care to stay to witness his struggles. Let's be off!" True donned his overcoat, extinguished the light, and the two went out, the Elder taking the precaution to secure the outer door behind him. Presently the footsteps of the pair were heard receding down the street. At the same moment a vigorous struggle and muffled cries came from the interior of the massive, iron-bound chest. And at the same moment, also, the door of the inner room opened, and a woman—the fourth Mrs. True—crept into the office, a light in one hand and a hatchet in the other. She deposited her light upon the table, and putting her mouth close to the chest, said, in a low, distinct voice: "Be patient only a minute, Mr. Osburn. I am here—Mrs. True, you know. I will release yon immediately." The struggle within the chest ceased. A low intelligible sound, signifying that Harry had heard and comprehended, answered the woman. "He has recovered his senses, "Mrs. True murmured. "Every moment of imprisonment now is full of peril to him. The air will soon be exhausted." She set to work vigorously with her hatchet, with the intention of cutting out the locks. But three or four sharp strokes had rung through the strange night silence, when the door of the inner room—the door by which Mrs. True had entered the office—was opened, and a man entered the chamber. This man was Brigham Young. Mrs. True leaped to her feet, recoiling sev-eral paces, and ejaculated: "The President!" "Yes, it is I," returned Brigham, sweeping the room with a single keen glance."Give me the hatchet, Sister True! I was under the garden window, and heard and saw all. Give me the hatchet!" Mrs. True yielded the weapon without a word. Brigham applied himself to the task of free-ing the captive, working swiftly and with a will. Now and then a sound came from Har-ry, showing that he was still conscious and had not yet exhausted the scanty supply of air contained in the narrow space in which he was immured. A few minutes of sharp, hard work, during which Mrs. True was breathless and agonized, and Brigham's efforts were rewarded with success. He tore up the chest lid, which had so near-ly proved Harry's coffin lid, and Harry was disclosed pale, almost unconscious, and gasp-ing for breath. "Lend a hand, Sister True," said Brigham. "We must lay him upon the floor." They lifted out the nearly lifeless figure, and applied themselves to Harry's recovery, Mrs. True bringing a glass of brandy from the closet, and Brigham pouring a share of the liquor down Harry's throat. Presently the glow of returning strength colored the rescued man's cheeks. He opened his eyes upon his rescuers with a gaze of grateful recognition. "You're all right now," said Brigham, wiping his own damp forehead. "You've had a narrow escape, my young friend, yet not so narrow as you think. I was near enough to prevent the consummation of the murder. Are you able to sit up now?" Harry assented, and Brigham assisted him to arise, and seated him in a chair convenient-ly near. "You'll soon get back your strength," said Brigham kindly. "So our worthy Elder and Bishop had three unseen listeners to their in-terview? You were in the closet yonder, Mr. Osburn; I was outside in the garden, under the window; and Sister True was in the back room." "Then you heard all, Mr. Young?" asked Harry feebly. "All—the whole accursed conspiracy," an-swered Brigham bitterly. "The guilt of these wretches has been declared to me out of their own mouths. And these are men whom I have cherished and honored! My disappoint-ment and sorrow are as great as my anger." "How did you happen to return here after you and I separated ?" inquired Harry. "Why, just as you happened to return here yourself—with the intention of getting fur-ther light in regard to these men," declared the Prophet. "Fact is, a conviction of True's hypocrisy forced itself so strongly upon my mind, while I was on my way home, that I turned on my heels and came straight back. And a lucky move it was, too." "Yes, sir. The villains are thoroughly un-masked." "And now to avail ourselves of the informa-tion we have gained." proposed the Prophet. "It seems that Mrs. Burton is at Coulter's." "At least he said so." "And the Doctor is at the Bishop's place in the country—at a certain Cottonwood Ranche." "And our first duty is to rescue them both from their peril," declared Harry, who was now nearly himself again. "Shall we not be-gin with the Doctor? He seems to be in in-stant danger, since the villains propose to burn him alive!" "Yes, we'll begin with the Doctor. Of course we can depend upon your silence, Sister True, in regard to all these matters?" "Certainly, sir. And if I can assist you or Mr. Osburn in any way, I shall be glad to do so." "Very good. You can be of service to us, and you shall be. You heard what the con-spirators said about meeting here, with their men, to-morrow night ?" "I did, sir." "Well, we must keep our own counsel, but I will take care to have a hand in that little af-fair. Keep a good look-out upon the Elder and his friends during the day. Mr. Osburn and I will arrive late in the evening, coming direct to your door, Sister True, and we will so arrange matters that Doctor Burton and other good witnesses will not be long in fol-lowing us. Understand?" "Perfectly, sir." "Then all is arranged. Come, Mr. Osburn. We'll take a short cut to Townsend's. Your horse is at the hotel, I believe?" Harry nodded. "Then I'll ask Brother Townsend to lend me one, and we'll hasten to free your friends from their captivity." This programme was at once acted upon, and a few minutes later the couple were taking their leave of the city by the County Road. As dark and grim as was the night, Brigham led the way rapidly, appearing to be perfectly familiar with, every foot of the route. "I think I know where the Bishop's Cotton-wood Ranche is," he observed, slackening his pace, several miles to the southward of the Big Field. "It is one of the wildest, loneliest regions in all Utah!" "Then it is just the spot for such a villain to choose for his retreat," returned Harry. "Exactly. No safer hiding-place for his prisoner can be found. I think we are on the right trail." During the long silence that again inter-vened, both men were deeply, terribly busy with their thoughts and reflections. "We are nearing the place," at length an-nounced the Prophet. "The hut is situated in a little valley in the very depths of the kan-yon before us. The road thither is a very good one. There is neither wood nor rock in our way. Ah!" The conclusion of Brigham's observation was an abrupt shout of horror. "What is the matter?" queried Harry. "That light ahead of us!" cried Brigham."It gives mo a horrible suggestion. You re-member what we overheard the rascals saying about the proposed fate of Doctor Burton?" "Certainly. Coulter's design was to have him burned accidentally. Good heavens! do you mean—" "Yes, that's just what I mean," shouted Brigham excitedly. "I think the rascally tools of the Bishop have entered upon their terrible work. Faster! faster!" Without another word the two men in-creased the speed of their horses to a regular break-neck gallop. "It is the place!" soon cried Brigham. "The murder is being accomplished!" "And see!" returned Harry, looking fixedly ahead. "The ruffians hear us coming!" The ringing hoofs of the horses ridden by Harry and the Prophet had indeed attracted attention. A couple of men had come rush-ing out into the open space in front of the lonely mountain cabin. "Back, gentlemen," suddenly called one of these men, levelling a revolver. "There is nothing here that concerns you. Halt!" Not the least attention was paid to these commands, unless it be that they caused the two horsemen to ride still faster. On like the wind sped the rescuers, and in another mo-ment they leaped from their panting steeds immediately in front of the blazing dwelling. "Death and furies! it's Brigham himself!" cried one of the two men of the ranche, as they both lowered their weapons. "Caught! detected! The game is played out!" Unheeding these cries, the Prophet rushed to the entrance of the hut, throwing the door wide open. "Ah! my God!" was the wild exclamation that burst from him, as he looked into the hut, now crumbling under the fiery element. One instant he recoiled, as did Harry, who was close to his heels, and then they both leaped into the lint, in a cloud of smoke, and into the midst of a sea of flame. One instant more they tore at a helpless object, in human form, which lay inert on the floor, with its garments beginning to take fire, and then they toiled back into the open air, dragging this inert object with them. The trio—the rescued and the rescuers—had scarcely emerged from the hut, when its whole flaming roof fell in, covering, as with a vast brazier of living coals, the spot where the doomed man had been lying. "Saved! saved!" shouted the Prophet. "He's alive and uninjured!" "But in what a fix!" returned Harry. "He's gagged and bound hand and foot." "It's even so. But he's all right, I'm cer-tain. It only remains to free him." This was instantly done, and the rescued mail stirred feebly, " at the same time giving utterance to inarticulate, panting murmurs. "He doesn't know us," cried Harry. "This has been too much for him." "No. He's all right, I tell you. There! he catches a good mouthful of air. The mist clears from his eyes. He knows us as well as we know him. Don't you, Doctor Burton ?" "Yes—I do," was the broken answer. "You were just in time, Mr. Young; just in time, Harry." The joyful interchange of greetings that followed can be easily imagined. "And Mrs. Burton!—my wife!" cried the Doctor, the moment he had made his own situ-ation plain to his rescuers. "Where is she?" "Safe and well," replied Harry. "We know where she is, and shall take you straight to her. The whole scheme of True and Coulter is crumbling, and you've nothing more to fear. Mr. Young here is posted as to all the machin-ations of which you and yours are the victims, and will see that your wrongs are righted." "And Winnie? what of her?" cried the father anxiously. A great cloud overspread Harry's face. "We do not know just where she is," he de-clared. "But after the turn our affairs are all taking, we will not be so wicked as to despair of her safety." "No, we will not," affirmed Dr. Burton, be-ginning to recover his long-lost equanimity. "I feel a conviction that all is to be well with us." "And now to punish these villains," pro-posed Brigham, looking around. " They cer-tainly meant to—But where are they ?" "They have gone, of course," said Harry, seeing that the space lately occupied by the ruffians was empty. "Who are they, Doctor Burton ?" "A couple of ruffians in the service of True and Coulter, as I have learned from their own conversation, no less than from their actions," replied the physician. " They called them-selves Mink and Hawk." "They belong to the Look-out gang," said Harry, turning to the Prophet. "They ought to have gone the ways of their comrades, Bull and Bear; but it will be sufficient for our pur-pose if they are never seen again in the Salt Lake Valley." "I reckon they'll take good care not to let me catch them," said Brigham. "You and the Doctor will have to ride double, Mr. Os-burn—" "No: for those ruffians have left a horse here in the bushes—the one on which they brought me here," interrupted the physician. "We are just provided for, then," said the Prophet. " Nothing could be better. Let's mount at once and push for Coulter's." "For Coulter's ?" echoed Dr. Burton. "Yes; for your wife is there. You need not be alarmed, however. She is perfectly safe and comfortable, as we will proceed to explain to you by the way. Come." In another minute the trio were mounted, and flying toward the city. And an hour and a half later, they drew rein in front of Bishop Coulter's dwelling, and the Prophet hastened to demand admittance. The Bishop's man, Krebbling, soon made his appearance. "The Bishop?" questioned the Prophet, "He isn't just now at home, sir." "I presumed as much," returned Brigham dryly. "I will therefore transact with you the little business in hand. In which room is Mrs. Burton at this moment?" "Mrs. Burton, sir?" gasped the miscreant, becoming singularly pale. "Yes, Mrs. Burton. In which room is she?" For a single instant only the ruffian allowed the burning gaze of Brigham to read his own telltale glances. "She—she is in the sitting-room, just back of the parlor," he then stammered. "The information is good so far as it goes," commented the Prophet. "And now a word in your ear, Krebbling. The plans of Coulter have come to nothing. The Bishop himself is in a worse fix than a dead man. And since you have lent yourself so faithfully to his in-famy, I'll give you until daylight to take your final departure from this city. If I find you in town after that hour, I'll cage you for a term of years, my fine fellow, as sure as my name is Brigham. Go!" He gave the villain a jerk, which took him through the door, and a kick which caused him to clear the steps of the dwelling at a bound. Then he turned to his companions. "Come, my friends," he proposed. "Let us give Mrs. Burton her little surprise." We draw a vail over the glad reunion that immediately followed. CHAPTER XXX. THE PLOTTERS CONFOUNDED—CONCLUSION. Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, The eternal years of God are hers; While Error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies amidst its worshippers. BRYANT. It was getting late on the succeeding even-ing when Brigham and Harry, in pursuance of their agreement, took their way silently and secretly to the presence of the fourth Mrs. True, in her particular share of the Elder's many-doored dwelling. They were both as troubled as stern, for, with all their comings and goings, they had not been able to learn the whereabouts of Winnie. There was no light in the small house, but Mrs. True met her guests at the door, welcom-ing them warmly, and leading them into her room, where she found them seats in the darkness. "All is right so far," she whispered. "The Elder hasn't got back yet from his excursion. Shall we wait for Doctor and Mrs. Burton, or shall we go to the Elder's office directly?" "It won't be safe to wait long," returned Brigham, in a low, cautious tone. "The time is at hand for the meeting. Hark! What is that?" The three listened intently. The sound was of persons moving cau-tiously on the garden walk. It was followed by a low knocking on the door. Mrs. True hastened to the door, and gave admittance to Dr. and Mrs. Burton. Harry and Brigham advanced to greet the new-comers, shaking hands with them warm-ly. "The little drama in which you have been figuring so largely, Doctor, is about played out," said Brigham."Your troubles are about over. Now, if you are ready, and Sister True will lead the way, we will go to the Elder's own house." The Doctor assented, and Mrs. True led her guests out through the rear apartment of her small dwelling into a large back garden, where shade trees grew. Conducting the small party past the houses of the first three Mrs. Trues, the fourth Mrs. True arrived at the rear door of the Elder's private dwelling, unlocked it with a pass-key, and ushered her companions into the room in the rear of the office. Having tried the door leading into the office, ascertaining that it was not locked, Mrs. True placed seats for the others, and the party dis-posed themselves to wait. Before many minutes had passed, a key was heard grating in the outer door, and Elder True stumbled into his office. He struck a light, removed his overcoat, and sat down with his face averted from the old chest, on which was heaped a pile of garments, con-cealing the ruin of the three stout locks, and, breathing heavily, he muttered: "It's time the men were here. We must get to work if we intend to do anything to-night. I'm tired enough after my long ride, but I'm willing to go to work afresh if money's to be made by it. 'Beauty and booty,' as I told the Bishop, is my motter. Ha! there's the Bishop now." He arose and opened his door, giving admit-tance to Bishop Coulter, who came in cloaked and half, disguised. There was a look of agi-tation on the Bishop's face, which immediately arrested True's attention. "What's up ?" the Elder exclaimed. "Any-thing the matter?" "A good deal's the matter," growled the Bishop. "The woman, Mrs. Burton, has fled from my house—escaped—gone!" "You don't say so! Where has she gone?" "How do I know?" snarled Coulter. "If I did know, wouldn't I have gone after her? She may have drowned herself, for all I know. She was in a state of mind to do it when I last saw her, last evening. The handsomest woman in the Terri-tory, too! But I'II have her back if she's alive, if I have to organize another band of men specially to search for her. I have sworn she shall be my wife, and I swear it again. If she lives, I will make her mine." In the darkness of the inner room, Doctor and Mrs. Burton pressed nearer together, clasping hands in all the rapture of their recovered hap-piness. Unconscious that the woman whom he was de-termined to make his wife was within a few feet of him, and a listener to his declarations, Coulter raved of her perfections, and his anger and grief at her loss, and his determination to recover her. "She's all right, Bishop," said True, at length. "She's scoutin' among her Gentile friends, that's all. She'll be back to breakfast, you may depend on it. When you get her back, jest lock her up—that's my advice. That's what I did to my bud o'beauty, her gal." The mother started, listening with her whole soul. "I've been to see the gal this evenin'," resumed True. "Jest got back, in fact. Deuced hard ride, and I'm 'bout tired out." "Ride far?" asked the Bishop. "To Church Island and back. The gal's on the island, in the care of Gotekin, the herder. She re-mains as obstinit as a mule—Who's that?" Some one was knocking at the office door. The Elder bade the visitor enter, and that one of his allies known to the band as Tiger came rush-ing into the presence of the two confederates. The appearance of Tiger betokened extreme fright and terror. His hair was dishevelled, his garments disarranged, and he glanced over his shoulder as if fancying himself pursued. "What's the matter?" cried the Bishop and Elder in a breath. "Matter?" panted Tiger. "Everything's the matter. The Colonel's arrested." "Who?" "The Colonel, Captain, Lieutenant, or whatever you choose to call Mornington," was the response, as Tiger sank into a chair. "He was arrested to-day, and is now in the city prison. Hadn't you heard of it?" "Not a word! Arrested! Mornington in prison!" The Bishop and the Elder stared blankly at each other. "That an't all," said Tiger. "Adder, Buffaler, and Grizzly, that you sent to smoke out Mounting Jack last night, got smoked out of the world! Mounting Jack defended his property like a de-mon, and killed the three men—" "Impossible!" "I've seen the corpses!" asserted Tiger dog-gedly. "And Mounting Jack's cabin is standing, and he's ready to defend it ag'inst the hull tribe o'Dan, Elders and Bishops thrown in!" The loss of their three allies, however, produced less effect upon the Bishop and Elder than the pre-vious news. Their thoughts reverted to Morning-ton, the ready, unscrupulous villain who had lent himself to all their schemes, proving himself their most efficient aid. "I am alarmed about this business of Morning-ton," said the Bishop, knitting his brows. "What was he arrested for?" "Do' know," said Tiger. "It must be," said Coulter, "that Brigham is on our trail." "No, you are wrong," cried True. "Brigham can have no suspicions of us. How can he have? I denied all the assertions of Osburn the other night. And Osburn is now out of the way, and Brigham must think the youngster has fled. Mornington wouldn't blow on us. No, no; it's all right. Mornington has been caught in some game of his own, and has got hauled up for it. We'll manage to get him off in due time. But our own plans must be carried out all the same!" "Of course," assented the Bishop. At this juncture another signal knock was heard on the door, and four members of Mornington's band, rough, villainous looking fellows, and known as Badger, Beaver, Grasshopper, and Beetle, en-tered the Elder's office. The Bishop and the Elder surveyed them with considerable apparent bitterness. "These five are all that are left of our formida-ble band!" said True, a shadow settling upon his coarse, sensual face—the shadow, perhaps, of im-pending defeat and retribution. "You all know how we got up the band, callin' ourselves Danites, jest because we found the name in good use, and as good a name for such a gang as any other. But what a time we've had! Only five of you left—" "But we still live," interposed the Bishop, " and can get up another band as good as the old one. These five men will be the nucleus of the new band. There's no use in crying over spilt milk. Tears won't bring our dead comrades back. We can have a good time yet, boys!" "Jest so!" the men muttered. "I've got a job before us," continued the Bishop. "that will make all our fortunes! Our diminished numbers are greatly to the advantage of all of us in this business. The fewer of us there are in the affair, the fewer there will be to divide the reward." "That is so," said Tiger. "I've planned out the business, made all the preparations, and greased the wheels, so to speak," declared the Bishop. "You all know that Brigham Young is the largest, or one of the largest depositors in the Bank of England?" "Yes, yes." "You may not know that he has now in the vaults of the church treasury a half million dol-lars in gold?" said the Bishop. "But he has. I can lead you directly to the vaults. We have only to break in and seize the whole. How does this meet your approval?" The five men, with brightening faces, hastened to assure Coulter that they were eager to engage in the proposed robbery. "Then we will set out for the vaults without delay. The money must be divided between us before daybreak. Is there one here who would like to withdraw from the business in hand? We want no faint hearts in a robbery like this. Speak! Is there one present who objects to the robbery?" The door of the inner room swung slowly open, and Brigham Young stepped silently into the pres-ence of the conspirators. "There is one present, Bishop," he said coolly, "who objects most decidedly to the proposed rob-bery—" "The—the President!" ejaculated Coulter wildly, reeling and tottering to his chair. "Brig—Brigham!" gasped True, his face turn-ing blue, and his teeth chattering. "The Prophet !" cried the five Danites, shrink-ing before the keen blaze of Brigham's eyes. "Yes, it is I!" said Brigham calmly. " You don't look pleased to see me, my good Bishop, my worthy Elder! I have listened to your charming plans. I won't trouble you to explain or deny. I have been hidden in the inner room since before True's arri-val. You are unmasked, you double-dealers and hypocrites!" A piercing howl of dismay came from True. Coulter groaned aloud in his terror. "I was present also at your interview of last night," said Brigham coolly. "I know that it was you, Bishop Coulter, who personated Doctor Bur-ton, perpetrating crimes the punishment of which you thought must fall upon him. I know the whole catalogue of your crimes. I know that you would have foully murdered Burton; but your schemes, thank God! have been frustrated. Doctor!" At this summons, Doctor Burton and his wife, arm in arm, entered the office. Their happy faces, their very presence there, told the plotters that their power over the Burtons was gone for ever. Coulter covered his face with his hands. "As for you, Elder True," said Brigham, " Miss Burton shall be rescued in the morning—" A quick sullen gleam lit up the haggard face of Elder True. "You can resky the gal," he said, "but you can't bring her lover to life!" "Osburn!" called Brigham. Harry entered from the inner room, a little pale of visage, but bright and calm and self- possessed, as usual. The Elder gave a great cry at sight of him. "Not dead! not dead!" he gasped, his glances straying to the great chest in the obscure further corner. "Who rescued him ?" "I did!" said Brigham—" I and another. You see that your schemes are all defeated, True. I shall pay to Doctor Burton, out of Coulter's money now in bank, the sum you stole from him! The ut-termost farthing shall be restored to him and his. His reputation shall be cleared at the expense of yours and Coulter's. As for you, you renegades and apostates, I haven't words to express my scorn of you. The Latter-day Church has enough to an-swer for, to the Gentile world, without having in it such reptiles as you. It is you, with your 'Dan-ites,' who bring contumely upon us. But your career is ended. You have danced; now you must pay the piper. You have run your career of crime; now will come your trial and punishment!" He clapped his hands loudly, and a half-dozen officers of the law came hurrying in from the rear garden. "Arrest these men!" commanded Brigham, pointing to Coulter and True. True leaped to his feet, a savage glow on his cheeks, a savage light in his eyes. "It is you, Harry Osburn, who have brought all my reverses upon me!" he cried, with a wild oath. "Sence I failed to make sure of your death last night, I'll do so now. Take that!" He drew a revolver, presented it, and fired. But rapid as his movements had been, Tiger had moved with equal celerity. The latter had sprung from his chair, bounded to True's side, and dashed aside the weapon. The contents of the revolver, thus diverted, found lodgment in Coulter's breast. With a shriek, he fell forward dying. At the same moment Badger, anxious, as Tiger had been, to curry favor with Brigham, fired at True, killing him instantly. We will draw a vail over the tragic scene. The events following the deaths of True and Coulter may be briefly stated. Upon the following day, as Mountain Jack and Winnie, on their way from Church Island, were threading a lonely mountain road, uncertain where next to seek refuge, they encountered a farmer, who, inquiring if they had heard the news, informed them of the deaths of Coulter and True, and also that Dr. Burton's reputation had been cleared of every stain. It is needless to say that Mountain Jack and Winnie turned their horses' steps to Salt Lake City. They found Dr. and Mrs. Burton and Harry Osburn at the Burton Cottage, on the point of set-ting out for Church Island, and the scene that fol-lowed the arrival of the new-comers may be imagined. Brigham Young kept his word, and Dr. Burton's stolen moneys were restored to him. A month or so later, all the Gentile population of the Mormon capital were present at the wed-ding of Harry Osburn and Winnie Burton. Brig-ham Young was present, as also the fourth Mrs. True, who wore no mourning, and who privately declared to Mrs. Burton that she "had been but a sixth part of a wife, but delighted in feeling her-self wholly a widow." The turn events had taken decided the Burtons and Osburns to remain at Salt Lake City. They are confident that polygamy cannot long survive the incoming tide of civilization and nineteenth-century progress; and, foreseeing that the great States and Territories west of the Rocky Mountains are destined to rival in prosperity and population the Atlantic States, they maintain their ground in Utah, and rank to-day as leaders of the fast in-creasing Christians who are known in Utah as "Gentiles."

I am trying to understand why people who are into the Southern aspects of the civil war try to convince others that Northerners have rewritten history. Can they just not get over the fact that the stronger of the two nations took the road paved to victory? I respect the South, but dislike the bitterness that goes along with it. What is the reason for this? |

My guess is that hypocrisy is a factor. And I say that as a Connecticut Yankee and the proud great-great granddaughter of a Union soldier from Indiana. But I also think that the North could sound awfully high and mighty when in reality, it had its own serious problems with race and racism. Last edited on Thu Jul 6th, 2006 02:57 am by rrhrjs |

burnsideshot, Much of the problem comes from the way the North treated the South after the war. The people who support the North tend to forget what happened during reconstruction. They make it sound as if the North went down South and made it a better place than it was. They want you to believe the Negros had it far better then slavery. While slavery was wrong and had to be eleminated former slaves never had it a good as the Northern history would have you think. Lincoln is another example of the problem. He ignored the Constitution when it suited him and he never freed the slaves as the North teaches. Lincoln changed what he said when it suited him. Since this is not a thread about Lincoln I will not go into details, unless someone wishes to start a Lincoln thread. Secession is another issue, which is discussed on these boards. The North would have you believe that it was illegal without showing you in the Constitution it is forbidden. Slavery as the main issue of the South cause of the war is another issue. The South clearly fought over states rights. The North denied the South of its' right to regain its' property. Yes, the property was slaves, however slavery was a states right. The North would like to think they were the saviors of the slaves when in reality they had slaves, their military commander at Appomattox General Grant own three slave at the time, while the Confederate commander had none. Many Northern states at the time had laws making it illegal for former slaves and some Negros to stay in their state for more the 30 days. Lincoln did not care if the Union was all with or without slavery as long as the Union remained intact. I agree with rrhrjs that the North can sound awfully high and might. I believe the South has plenty of reasons to be bitter. Sorry I got so long winded, but there are many instances of history not being exactly told as it was. By the way I am from Pennsylvania, so I am not speaking as a Southerner. Regards Shadowrebel (John) Last edited on Thu Jul 6th, 2006 02:21 pm by Shadowrebel |

HankC, Thank you for your reply. So you are telling me that the Freedmen, as you call them, had it better during Reconstruction? That their plight only got worse after Reconstruction? It got no worse after Reconstruction then it was during Reconstruction, that is the Yankee myth. The Yankees never improved the plight of the former slaves. It was not until the 1960s that the Negro began to get his due and today have not fully been given their due. As to Lincoln, or Honest Abe as Northerners like to call him; Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus despite a ruling from Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States that he did it illegally. When Maryland voiced its support for the CSA and appeared itself ready to secede, Lincoln arrested 31 Maryland legislators, the mayor of Baltimore (the nation's 3rd largest city at the time), and a US Congressman from Maryland, as well as numerous editors and publishers. As noted Lincoln scholar Mark Neely writes in The Last Best Hope of Earth, Lincoln arrested the Marylanders "without much agonizing over their constitutionality" (p 133). Not only did Lincoln imprison two US Congressmen, he also wrote out an arrest warrant for the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, Roger Taney, after Taney wrote the opinion in Ex Parte Merryman (1861) rebuking Lincoln's illegitimate suspension of habeas corpus (see Charles Adams, p 46-53). John Marshall, whose opinion in Marbury v. Madison (1803) famously declared that "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is," also wrote the opinion in Ex Parte Bollman and Swartwout (1807) declaring that suspension of habeas corpus was a power vested only in the Congress. Lincoln simply ignored the law. The Great Emancipator never freed any slaves, the greatest of Yankee myths. It took the 13th Amendment to the Constitution to do that. I do believe Lincoln was dead by that time. He proposed three 13th amendments to the Constitution; Lincoln's Three Proposed Constitutional Amendments of 1862 1. Federal compensation provided for states agreeing to abolish slavery by January 1, 1900. 2. Frees slaves who "enjoyed actual freedom by the chances of war" before "the end of the rebellion." 3. Congress authorized to provide for colonization outside of the United States of free blacks by their own consent. He really was a friend of the slaves with these proposals. Abolish slavery by Jan. 1, 1900 how can you call him a friend of the slaves? http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/conlaw/thirteenthamendment.html So much for Honest Abe, the Great Emancipator. The war was from the Union side about preserving the Union; I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views. http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/greeley.htm The South fought for States Rights, here is a website with all 13 Declaration of Secession which clearly show the South fought for States rights. http://www.civil-war.net/pages/ordinances_secession.asp The North denied the South of its' right to regain its' property. How did the North do that? Have you ever heard of the Underground Railroad? Also see the Declaration of Secession for more details. You deny that Grant and his wife owned slaves during the war and only freed them after the passage of the 13th Amendment or that General Lee was a slave holder at the time of Appomattox? Grant certainly had some control over and use of slaves his father-in-law gave his wife.(Simon, p347) Lee had freed his slaves in 1862. I await your reply and souces of you reply.

Yeah rr and shadow. I understand the points you are making. I can understand how those things can happen. While on topic though, I thought it was Grant's wife that owned a slave or 2. I do respect Jackson for never having a slave. Why is it that if Lee felt slavery was immoral as he preached, he had slaves. This I don't understand, him being sort of morally superior in many minds. I agree too that blacks in the North didnt have it great. Unlike slaves, they were not guaranteed food or a roof over their heads. At the time, slaves may have even been a necessity. Its not the point Im trying to argue though. I was just curious about the whole Lee paradox. Thanks |

Oh boy... this could thread could get ugly... Everyone has made some great points. I personally feel that people in general (BOTH north and south) are pretty ignorant when it comes to REAL American history. They tend to look at things in the shortest and most rudimentary sense and not the whole story - especially from different perspectives. Often this results in the "defeated" foe being portrayed as a villain. Many people in the South are outraged NOT because of the Northern victory - but how their Cause was (and is) depicted. Slavery was absolutely an issue - but not the only issue. I've spent the first half of my life living just a few hours from Gettysburg and the last half living in Fredericksburg. Growing up in Pennsylvania, I was taught the Union's point of view, while my adult education in Virginia has focused more on the Confederacy's. Regardless of what "side" you line up on, it should bother all of us that "Rebs and Yanks" living in the same country are being intentionally skewed in their understanding of the Civil War. In the North, "the Gray" is often portrayed as the bad guys, a bunch of barefoot, slave-owning ingrates. In the South, "the Blue" is often remembered as an evil dictatorship, hell-bent on invasion and the nullification of states' rights. In many ways both are right, and both are wrong. Now, given the relaxed teaching standards in schools today, imagine what our kids think. Ultimately we are losing the next generation of Civil War buffs to the Playstation and Cell phones. I think that this lazy attitude makes people angry and more defensive. I remember in sixth grade, the Civil War took up months of our history-class curriculum. Today, it seems that many schools are glazing over the conflict in a matter of weeks. Many of the newer textbooks, for example, leave out important events and present what is left over in a very generic and politically correct manner. This can be partially blamed on teachers who blindly use whatever lesson plan is presented to them from the book-of-the-month club. Also, parents are at fault--as we often accept this "generic" American history (in abbreviated format) as adequate material for our children's education. Finally, writers and historians (me included) share the guilt as we often present our own findings with a loyalist attitude. So we are all guilty of "favoritism" in one way or another. The South today is also very much like the South back then in regards to praising and preserving the memories of their ancestors. No general in the North ever received the love and admiration of the Southern generals during the war or after. There was no Jackson or Lee that were (and are) regarded as "godlike" figures. You cannot even begin to imagine how much these men are loved and revered. I'm sure that my efforts are certainly in support of that. In addition, I have found through contacts in both the historical and re-enactor community that the idea of the U.S. Government "turning" troops on its own people still harbors anger and animosity. Many believe that this can and may happen again someday. Therefore, they feel that they can directly "relate" to the notion of big government pushing its citizens around (I think we all can). This widens the gap of separation and recalls an "us vs. them attitude" that harkens to their ancestor's plight. One other observation came to me this weekend and really brought to light just how little "really" changed (following the war) in regards to race relations on a nationwide scale. AMC was showing "Gone With The Wind" and during one of the commercials the host mentioned that Hattie McDaniel had won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (the first black-woman to do so), but that she had to sit in the back of the room at a table by herself. This is an outrage and shows just how guilty the north-south-east-and west were of racism - not just the CSA. BTW: Jackson had a manservant who received pay for his service - technically, he was not a slave in the sense of "forced labor". |

David, The man we are referring to, best known as Jim (not Joe) was an employee who applied for the position of manservant/cook at the start of the conflict and accompanied Jackson into the field. He did have some slaves - but was not your typical master... Jackson was instrumental in the organization in 1855 of Sunday school classes for blacks at the Presbyterian Church. The pastor, Dr. William Spottswood White, described the relationship between Jackson and his Sunday afternoon students: "In their religious instruction he succeeded wonderfully. His discipline was systematic and firm, but very kind. ... His servants reverenced and loved him, as they would have done a brother or father. ... He was emphatically the black man's friend." He addressed his students by name and they in turn referred to him affectionately as "Marse Major." Jackson's family owned six slaves in the late 1850s. Three (Hetty, Cyrus, and George, a mother and two teenage sons) were received as a wedding present. Albert requested that Jackson purchase him and allow him to work for his freedom; he was employed as a waiter in one of the Lexington hotels and Jackson rented him to VMI. Amy also requested that Jackson purchase her from a public auction and she served the family as a cook and housekeeper. The sixth, Emma, was a four-year-old orphan with a learning disability, accepted by Jackson from an aged widow and presented to his second wife, Anna. James Robertson wrote about Jackson's view on slavery: "Jackson neither apologized for nor spoke in favor of the practice of slavery. He probably opposed the institution. Yet in his mind the Creator had sanctioned slavery, and man had no moral right to challenge its existence. The good Christian slaveholder was one who treated his servants fairly and humanely at all times." |

Michael: Thanks for confirming my point that he did own slaves and correcting my error. Regardless of whether he whipped the snot out of his slaves every night or tucked them into bed with milk and cookies, the best one can say about old Stonewall, and Lee, for that matter, is that they were not opposed to slavery due to their both having control of slaves. The southern revisionists always like to say Lee and Jackson opposed slavery and even cite their words as "evidence." However, their actions, regarding slaves, speak louder, however "nice" they were to said "property." |

David, Define Southern revisionist. Is your definition a Southerner trying to justify the actions of the South by modern day standards with modern day rights and wrongs in an attempt to try to make the old South look... flawless in principle and in the process, changes historical content? I stand corrected on Jackson's slaves then. I honestly didn't think he had any. I thought they were paid servants. My mistake. <---used car salesman smile. |

No, it is those who try to eliminate or explain away slavery as the primary source of friction between the north and the south leading to hostilities. I did not apply modern standards to Lee or Jackson, I merely want the straight facts out there that they did not oppose slavery but rather accepted it, reluctantly or not. I am not 100% sure in the case of Jackson wheter it was reluctant or not but I am pretty sure in the case of Lee it was not reluctant. |

I cannot argue with that sentiment David and I am certainly guilty (to a certain extent) of presenting that perspective in my own bios. No one can defend the institution of slavery in good conscience and I would be a twit to try. However, as a Presbyterian (and please don't misunderstand as I am NOT trying to inject a religious debate here), I can fully understand the rationale in Jackson's philosophy towards predestination and will. I have not written or studied Lee (in a Christian sense) like I did with Jackson and Stuart, so I cannot comment intelligently on his specific doctrines of faith, but if one believes that God's will is a central force that drives our earthly existence, then to believe that many of man's sins (including slavery) were destined for a greater cause is entirely logical. The moral conflict of the ownership of another human being is still there and to deny it would be ridiculous, but I personally believe that these were men who were decent and compassionate patriots, who shared a distaste for war, wrestled with their consciences, and conducted themselves with honor. |

Gotcha. I was always sort of wondering what people meant when they said revisionist. Do people really think slavery was the main issue? I'm up north, and ah, I think slavery was a huge issue, but that unequal representation in government, overtaxation and lack of southern issues being addressed in congress was probably even moreso the cause of friction. Who knows though. |

Burnside: All I can say is do a Google search of the southern Ordinances of Seccession for all of the states and then dig a little deeper into the Declarations of Seccession behind those ordinances. Read what they say, all have one common denominator about slavery issues (Fugitive slave act, negro suffrage, etc). Most only mention those type issues. Yes Georgia talked about the tariff but no one else did (explain that Lew Rockwell). IMO, Texas had the best grievance about not being protected against the Indians but the emphasis everywhere was on slavery and other issues surrouding blacks. |

I rarely respond but I just felt compelled to add my two cents.I apologize for the length of my response. They want you to believe the Negros had it far better then slavery. While slavery was wrong and had to be eleminated former slaves never had it a good as the Northern history would have you think. – Even if the post-war conditions were not as rosy as some would have us believe, they were infinitely better than being in bondage.To even consider that someone's life was better off as a slave is ludicrous. There is a plethora of written and oral histories left by former slaves. I have yet to find a single instance where an ex-slave longed for the good old days of bondage. I believe they were the only ones with the true prospective on this matter. Lincoln suspended the writ of habeas corpus despite a ruling from Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States that he did it illegally. – Article 1, Section 9.2 of the Constitution states: "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless in the cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." It is quite clear that the Constitution provides for the suspension despite what the pro-southern Taney stated. The times were desperate and called for desperate measures, which was why President Jefferson Davis also suspended the writ of habeas corpus when he felt it necessary. John Marshall, whose opinion in Marbury v. Madison (1803) famously declared that "It is emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is," also wrote the opinion in Ex Parte Bollman and Swartwout (1807) declaring that suspension of habeas corpus was a power vested only in the Congress. Lincoln simply ignored the law. Despite Ex Parte Bollman and Swartwout (1807), the Constitution does not say if this suspension is under the authority of the Executive, Legislative or the Judicial. As for President Lincoln ignoring the law then I guess President Davis is also so guilty. The Great Emancipator never freed any slaves, the greatest of Yankee myths. It took the 13th Amendment to the Constitution to do that. I do believe Lincoln was dead by that time. – I would venture to say that the Emancipation Proclamation paved the way for the freedom of millions. Wherever there was a Union presence in the southern states there were runaway slaves that flocked to their lines. Contraband camps, Freedman's camps, whichever name you prefer, sprung up around the Confederacy and the moment these runaways entered the protection of the amry these people were free. Yes, Lincoln was dead when the 13th Amendment passed, brutally murdered in the most cowardly act performed in the name of the Confederacy. Slavery as the main issue of the South cause of the war is another issue. The South clearly fought over states rights. – I prefer to let the states speak for themselves. The following is an excerpt from the Declaration of Secession from the State of Mississippi. I can't find the words "States Rights" anywhere in the entire document; "Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin." Lincoln did not care if the Union was all with or without slavery as long as the Union remained intact. I most heartily agree. The question of slavery in the country becomes moot if there is no longer a country. A conclusion that John Adams and Benjamin Franklin accepted when South Carolina threatened to vote against the resolution on Independence because of slavery. But this is not to say that Lincoln did not have deep feelings about slavery. A reading of his speeches and writings reveal what the man really thought. The North would like to think they were the saviors of the slaves when in reality they had slaves, their military commander at Appomattox General Grant own three slave at the time, while the Confederate commander had none. Grant owned a single slave in his lifetime, a man named William Jones who was freed, not sold, in 1859 when Grant was still in financial trouble. The point can be argued about Julia's slaves and that Lee did not free his until 1862. What is the point? These leaders that some go to such great lengths to demonize or canonize were just men, no more, no less. They were not demi-gods sitting on the right hand of the throne but merely men struggling under conditions we cannot possibly fathom. I have always been amazed with the claim that the Northerners wrote the history of the war and the country has suffered under 140 years of lies and myths. Never in the history of the mankind or warfare has a conquered foe been given such a voice on the world stage. Every Confederate who chose to publish his version of events, his memoirs, diaries, letters, etc. had an eager audience, from both north and south. There are literally tens of thousands of books written from and about the southern prospective, not to mention the endless articles in Confederate Veteran, The Southern Historical Society Papers, Southern Bivouac, Battles and Leaders, etc. Despite this mountain of information coming up from the south there have always been, and always will, those that claim the south has been muzzled. We hear what we choose to hear. The truth is out there but can only be found by one with an open mind and an open heart and a desire to learn what really happened. Tom |

To me at least, "Southern Pride" (and the historical presentation of it) may tend to focus more on the positives – but no more than the rest of the country when it comes to "hiding" from our past. We ALL share the guilt of our forefathers whether it was unjust treatment of blacks, indians, or women. Pointing fingers (over and under the Mason-Dixon line) is a futile effort IMO. We (the white man) commited some bad acts, made mistakes, and hopefully the majority of us have learned from them. |

Letters and opinions published in the Lake Sun over the last several days cause one to wonder whether the writers have actually read the Second Amendment to the constitution.
In fact, it says "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to bear and keep their arms shall not be infringed."
There are a couple of discrepancies in spelling and punctuation between the original bill as presented and that finally signed, but the wording is clear.
What does not seem to be clear to some is the meaning of "well regulated militia."
Surely this does not translate as meaning that anybody can have as many weapons — of whatever kind — that he happens to want. That is, most certainly, not "well regulated."
As it is, we have a well-regulated militia. It's called the National Guard, and it fulfills the purpose of the Second Amendment admirably.
That it has been incorrectly deployed overseas as an offensive force does not negate its importance as a strong defense for the country against attack whether from within or without.
Then, "Guns don't kill people, people do," one of the oldest and least sensible of the arguments of the gun lobby:
Of course people are the ones who kill other people, but people with assault weapons with 30-round magazines can kill many more people than those wielding knives or baseball bats, and from a much greater distance.
Do you really think this is what the authors of the amendment intended?
While you're considering this, remember that the weapons of today were not only unavailable at the time of the Constitution, they were unimaginable.
Let's move on: "Cars can be used to kill people, but no one suggests that they should be banned."
It's true, of course, but the main purpose of a car is to move people (or, in the case of commercial items, freight) from one place to another.
In other words, the reason for vehicles is transport, not damage. They can be misused — as can virtually anything — but it is not their main purpose.
With guns, the purpose is, for the most part, to kill or injure another living creature. In the case of handguns and assault weapons, those creatures are people.
Why do you think they're called Assault Weapons?
Almost anything can be misused to cause harm to people: axes, weedkiller, broken bottles, the list is endless.
Page 2 of 2 - But the reason for guns is, mostly, to kill.
Hunters should not fear: their guns are intended to kill — but not people. Those guns can be misused, too, but it's undoubtedly true that most hunters are extremely careful to be sure that their guns are secured.
There are bound to be occasions when a gun — or anything else — is used to create havoc and misery.
But let's not make it easy.

Chez Chose
Online Reservations
We had a fabulous meal at Chez Chose - service was spectacular and the food divine. My husband has Celiac disease and is often required to compromise on restaurant meals...this was not the case at Chez Chose. Thanks!
WOW! We found this restaurant through open table, and I embarrassed to admit we live only a few blocks from it and never noticed it. It truly is a "neighbourhood gem." Menu was a chalk board and super creative, with lots of variations so everyone got something he liked. Interesting wine list, and the server was more than happy to help with suggestions. And prices are very reasonable! Anglophones, fear not - the owner is very fluent and learning to say "squab" in place of "pigeon!" We'll definitely be back.
Creative comfort food, locally-inspired and -sourced, family run delight of a place. Daughter in the kitchen, mom behind the bar, dad out front. You can not only feel the love, you can taste it, too. Quebecois joie-de-vivre at it's best.
It's a shame this place isn't more popular. The food was outstanding and the service was friendly and funny. The decor is unfortunately lacking, which might be the reason it's not more of a hotspot.
I made a reservation based on the glowing reviews written by other guests on Yelp. Upon our arrival, we were met by a very pleasant and funny gentleman who made us laugh within seconds of being seated. He went through the menu with such detailed and meticulous explanations that were all very impressed. He knew his stuff. He had a great sense of humour that made us feel really at home. The food itself was delightful, from the opening soup, to the steak entree, to the wonderful dessert. We were even offered a fruit candy to cleanse our pallet upon leaving. Needless to say I was very impressed with the level of service. Combined with the delicious meal, I will definitely make a return trip the next time I am in Montreal. Thank you so much!
Was in Montreal with girlfriends for a long weekend. I had read good things about Chez Chose and it did not disappoint. Great host, great food and a vibrant neighborhood. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Montreal.
Excellent selection of appetizers and main courses. Very friendly staff. Will definitely return.
From the moment we walked in - we felt welcome. The host was unbelievably warm and funny! The restaurant was quaint and comfortable. The food was to die for! We were a party of three and each of us enjoyed appetizers, our entrees and desserts. This is a place I will remember for a LONG time!
Une rencontre improvisée (organisée seulement qqs jours auparavant) entre ami(e)s, dont l'ancienne sous-chef en congé de maternité et qui nous présentait donc son nouveau petit poupon Léon, nous a réuni (5 personnes) à table pour bruncher. Nous avons goûté au(x) plat(s) de chacun(e) et tout était absolument exquis, délicieux, divin, ...
For a full week my wife and I dined in Montreal's finer restaurants. It was our first visit to that city. I had compiled/cross-indexed/culled restaurants from sources such as Bon Appetit, Travel & Leisure, Yelp, Frommer's, Fodor's, local newspapers & various websites to compile our possibilities. We had some gloriously fantastic meals—Montreal is ooo-la-la food-wise! Chez Chose was one of our absolute FAVORITES. The food is inventive and delicious, the service is fun and integral to having a great time. The description of the menu by your host will get you salivating. And the prices are very reasonable! Bottom line: If we were flying back today for another week, we would make a reservation at Chez Chose immediately. You will love it!
Had a great dinner here. The food was fresh, uniquely prepared - obviously a talented chef in the kitchen. The owner was incredibly warm and hospitable. He went through the entire French menu, not only translating but providing very thorough descriptions of everything. Very relaxed and unhurried.
the food is excellent, the menu is original, explaining the menu is extraordinary
This was our second visit, and once again, we were not disappointed. This restaurant is well worth the chore of having to find parking. Better yet, take a taxi and enjoy the experience. Everything was delicious, and we were made to feel welcome. We went with guests from out of town, and they are already recommending it to their friends in case they are ever in Montreal.
In Montreal for the Grand Prix. This was our first dinner of the weekend and it was a treat. Innovative and adventurous cuisine coupled with attentive and friendly service. All of the dishes our group of four had were excellent. The smoked tartare was incredible; the chef's sample of headcheese was uniquely delicious; and the entree's were all excellent (duck, rabbit, seafood and pork). Everything is creatively prepared without the pretentiousness of many restaurants. Well done.
went here last year and was wowed. Didn't think they could pull it off just as well this year, but did. Enthusiastic wait staff and imaginative chef. Will keep coming back...
We had a fine dining experience at Chez Chose, after choosing them from the TripAdvisor restaurant ratings for our second evening in Montreal during the jazz festival. The menu was more extensive than we anticpated from visiting their website, with at least eight appetizers and entrees from which to choose. The waiter gave us a comprehesive explanation of the evening's fare from the chalk board he brought to the table, and we opted for several of the locally sources offerings, especially the locally farmed trout and the last asparagus from the local harvest. All the food was excellently prepared and presented, as well as delicious. The service was attentative, but not smothering; just right. Highly recommended.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable owner explains each of the days blackboard offerings. Also enjoyed the recommended wine pairings. The fish dishes are excellent- my wife enjoyed the lobster risotto with grilled veggies and I liked the salmon trout fillet (from a local fish farm). Pricing is a bit high for a cafe type resto but we saved on the US dollar/ Canadian dollar difference. We noted that a number of locals came in and were warmly received by the owner and his wife.
Food was great with reasonable prices. The waiter (who we think is the owner the way he spoke about the business of being a restauranteur) spent a great deal of time with us translating every aspect of the menu to the four of us. We all thought our meals were special and we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.
Had a great meal here, great service team, menu very well explained, and above all, delicious!
We had the discovery menu. The boudin and duck with hocolate sauce were delicious. Excellent service by Bobby.
This is a perfect dinng experience away from the city hustle. Food and atmosphere to feed your soul. Bon apetit
For the past 4 years, every time I visit my hometown of Montreal, I reserve one night to dine at Chez Chose, which I discovered on Open Table "par hazard", by chance. This gem of a find is family owned and run, with parents out front and daughter-chef doing some mad-genius work in the kitchen. Local ingredients prevail, and fearless Quebecois flair shines through. Chez Chose would hold its own against the very best of New York City's most creative downtown or Brooklyn up-and-coming stars. Ambience that is casual but not sloppy, plating that is thoughtful but not fussy, and flavor combos that may surprise but always pleasantly. And the pricing is extremely fair, with a range to suit most. Go, go, go!!!
Above and beyond what is considered excellent - the owner's wife even hailed a cab for us!
Took my wife to Chez Chose for her birthday. It was a memorable evening. Food was excellent as always (4th time), and service provided by Robert, Manon and the young waitress was exceptionally friendly!
We had the best waiter, whose daughter is the chef. Being American, he was very thoughtful to explain every dish and give us his recommendations. We have a glorious meal from start to finish. Highlights were the fois gras, guinea hen, braised steak and deserts of course heavenly. We also enjoyed a bottle of delicious Quebecois Chardonnay and another Alcasian wine which paired perfectly with our delicious food. After dinner we enjoyed another Quebecois maple whiskey which was a perfect end to a great meal. Will certainly go back whenever we are in Montreal!
J'ai adoré ce restaurant. Le menu dégustation était excellent, très varié. Le service était exceptionnel. Je vais y retourner sans hésiter.
The menu is on a chalkboard in French. But no worries. The owner (or his wife) will explain everything you need to know. Very nice, down to earth people. Great meal with a lot of seasonally and fresh produce and meat. Wonderful dining experience. Try it. You will enjoy it.
I can't stop raving about this dinner to everyone I know. The menu is extremely interesting with local food choices. The chef's attention to detail is quite remarkable. Every item we ordered had several layers to it. Example, mashed potatoes were with truffle oil and Oka cheese. They were extremely accommodating with my vegetarian friend.The foie gras au torchon has to be THE best I have ever had! I can't wait to return to this great restaurant. The only caveat I would have is the decor. Definitely not a hip city atmosphere but when in good company, the food speaks volumes. Excellent value for the price!
Le patron est plus qu'accueillant, on se croirait invité chez lui. La présentation des plats est réussie et l'harmonie des saveurs exceptionnelle. De quoi être agreablement surpris. Se compare avantageusement à certaines grandes tables de Montréal.
This evening was memorable, from the jovial maitre d' to the unique aperitif to the to-die-for pot de creme au chocolat in a jar! The theme was maple, but it was by no means overpowering. The rabbit with cheese (Parmentier de lapin de Stanstead confit, champignons poêlés, échalote caramélisée à l'érable, fondant de fromage Alfred et glace de viande) was mouth-wateringly perfect. My only complaint would be that we were given a seat at the very back, with a lot of traffic - even though we had reserved early and are by no means unattractive. ;-)
Nous avons passé une agréable soirée chez Chose. Le service est tres personnalisé et discret. La nourriture est délicieuse. J'y retournerai volontié.
Food was beyond delicious (that rabbit shepherd's pie...), service pleasant and relaxed, nice warm ambiance... A superb comforting place. We will be back!!
We were there last Saturday, party of 4. We had the tasting menu w/ the wine pairing. The first course, seared scallop w/ shiitake mushroom risotto was sublime. There were appreciative moans around the table. The other courses that followed, rabbit confit, duck heart tartare and venison were good, but the scallop had set the bar high. I would've been more impressed w/ the other courses had they come before the scallop. Still, they were very good. Only the dessert was a little disappointing. It was cubes of panacotta w/ cubes of cake and pineapples. It felt a little plain. Overall it was a great dinner. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was very friendly. Can't wait to go back. Would definitely recommend.
The food was excellent, as was the service. The place was very quiet for a Friday night, but we had a great evening anyway!
Spent a romantic evening(girlfriend's birthday) dining at Chez Chose. Amazing little find. Charming French Bistro. Elegant, Romantic, Amazing food, fantastic service, and the owners/hosts were so helpful with their suggestions (menu items) . We will definitely be back soon. Would recommend this little jewel to anyone who loves good food and enjoys a relaxing evening out with friends or with that special someone. The whole experience was amazing. 5 stars.OBTW They offer a glueten free menu which was very important to us.
My husband and I recenty ate at Chez Chose on our first trip to Montreal. The staff were so welcoming and helpful considering our ability to speak french is non-existent! The neighborhood was great and it felt less touristy than other restaurants nearby our hotel. The starters - soup for myself and salad for my husband, were excellent. We were able to try something called a tartiflette, which neither of us had before - very rich and wonderful!! My main dish - black cod, was also very well done. Finally, to end the meal, I had a to die for chocolate pot de creme and my husband - a very unusual sorbet. What a wonderful night!
Chez Chose is listed as one of the top restaurants on tripadvisor and it definitely lived up to it's reputation. We were a group of 5 and they were very accommodating - even putting back our reservation when we were running late by half an hour. The service was very attentive and enjoyable. The prices were quite reasonable considering the calibre of the food, the bistro ambiance. The wine list was very reasonable as well - with numerous bottles in the 40s, 50s, and 60s as well as more expensive. I would definitely go back.
We had an excellent time and a fine meal. We were entertained and educated by the owners, who lovingly explained the menu. We were captivated by the wonderful dishes . Superb duck confit and delicious smelt. This is a table to farm establishment and your dishes are prepared by someone who has an out of this world understanding of how to mix flavors, spices and seasonings. How San you resist a menu that has 'the salad of the moment'! We will never go to Montreal without going to Chez Chose for a meal.
Frequent visitors to Montreal (from California), we are familiar with many good restaurants there, but this one had escaped our attention until recently. We had a fantastic dinner and will want to return next time. Rabbit had a prominent place on the menu and we enjoyed it two ways. First in a delicious rillette, and then cooked sous vide. The latter was a melt in your mouth surprise, very flavorful and juicy. I wish I had asked more questions about its preparation, but it was a busy night and although the service was excellent, there was not a lot of time for chit chat. My dinner companion ordered the venison which he enjoyed very much as well. Another dish of note was the lobster salad appetizer.
This was our first trip to Montreal together and we wanted to make it special! We started looking at dinner reservation options about a week in advance and this place stood out to us. Concept-style food, locally owned, reasonably priced. The restaurant is in the middle of a great street littered with trendy bars and other restaurants. We had high hopes, but Chez Chose completely blew us out of the water! The waitstaff was fabulous - recommending the perfect wines and appetizers. The food was spectacular, perfect for vegetarians and carnivores alike. Highly recommended!!
Small, intimate restaurant off the "tourist" track in a Montreal neighborhood. The menu is written on a chalk board each day and brought to your table by the multi-lingual wait staff and explained in detail. Food was delicious and like I would envision French home cookeing. Wonderful food and evening.
Première visite dans ce charmant resto à l'accueil chaleureux. Cuisine traditionnelle style bistro avec une belle note inventive. J'ai adoré le gravlax au boeuf (!!) et le boudin noir fait sur place. J'y retourne dès que je peux.
Cette visite était ma deuxième fois à ce restaurant. Cette fois-ci j'amenais 3 personnes et j'espérais ne pas les décevoir. Tous fut comblé! Repas exquis tout comme le service. On y retournera assurément!
Friendly service, delicious food, romantic atmosphere. What else could I ask for?

We bought this for visits from our grandson who has just moved from cot to bed. It is excellent - it looks good, assembles quickly and does the job safely. Definitely happy to recommend.
Eventually a good night sleep for both my son and me with the bed guard. No more slipping down from bed while sleeping any more.
Brilliant product and looks Bette than the mesh ones.
Excellent product. Easy to use and sturdy which is really important as our little boy is a climber! We have one fitted to our daughter's single bed and one on our son's cotbed. Easy to install and fits really well in both. Would highly recommend.
Good looking guard, smooth finish, we used it for Somerset bed bought from Kiddicare. When installed the rail guard pushed the mattress to the wall, not ideal fit.

The Bluetooth bit error rate (BER) cannot be determined with Symbian C++ APIs.
The bit error rate (BER) is used to evaluate receiver performance. It is determined by comparing transmitted and received payload data and noting the difference in bits. The ratio of the erroneous bits to the total number of bits received is the BER.
Currently there is no solution. The bit error rate (BER) level for Bluetooth cannot be determined with S60/Symbian APIs.
