Mysterious Stranger Seen Near Englishman's Mormon Estate

In Lixcoun Nes Jan 30 a palatial residence two miles south of the city, owned by an English gentleman tied to the Mormon church, has been quiet for two years. An old servant White, once with the Jerrels of London, claims he was defrauded and converted to Mormonism. He says Brigham Young has risen, and a notable visitor group from Salt Lake City is urging a resurrection plot to mislead followers about the great event prophesied in Zion. A local merchant later saw a man in the house who resembled Brigham Young, heightening the mystery of Mormon activity and London sightings.
