APPENDIX II - THE STORY OF LEE'S ARREST

United States Marshal's Office, Beaver City, Utah, April 1st,
1877.

My Dear Sir: As requested, I send you the facts of the arrest of
John Doyle Lee, from the time the warrants were placed in my

On the 28th day of October, 1874, I started south from Beaver
City, to summon jurors for the November term of the District
Court for the Second Judicial District of Utah Territory, to be
held at Beaver City. I also intended to procure a g
