Brother Wells said that Brother Maxfield had the command of a small scouting party they took a horse from the Enemy & was fired at by the Enemy, but no one hurt they went back to their encampment. Brother Maxfield had an impression that their was Danger in their path and ought to leave their camp He told his Brethren so but some of them did not think so & all went to Bed But these feelings increasing upon Brother Maxfield He arose from his bed & told his Brethren He was agoing to leave that place immediately & they all gathered up their Horses and went several Miles Back & camped for the night & soon the Encampment which they had Just left was surrounded by a Hundred men & had it not been for their warning they would probably have been all taken prisioners.
