March 23, 1858 ~ Tuesday

223 I started for Rush valley got a short distance learned that
Wilford was near by with Luke Johnson family he soon came
up He had had a vary severe time he had broke his way through
35 miles of snow from one to two feet deep got lost in a
storm travelled into the canyon if his team had not been vary
stout he and his team would have perished the horses were much
used up But I was glad to find my son and team alive I took
my team and Wilford my horse and returned to the City the Breth[ren]
have not over taken the indians. Wilford said that He herd Tabby
a freiendly Indian say that the Chiefs had been to the soldiers camp
and Col Johnson or Harny had told them that Brigham Young had
[FIGURES] charmed their children and they had died and Brigham
Young wood kill them all the officers said that Joseph Smith
was a great captain and they cut his head off easy and
Brigham Young was a small captain and we will cut off
his head much easier and in this way they stired up the Indians
to war against us
