Day in the Life

Journal Entry

April 01, 1859 ~ Friday

April 1st
It is a cold day. I had some conversation with S. M. Blair
upon affiairs in Provo, there is some excitement throughout
the Territory arests are being made all over the country as
far as they can find men but most of them flee as they
do not wish to be put under military guard. I spent the
night in the Historians office & printing office till midnight
[FIGURE] I wrote a Letter to I F Carter & sent him the last paper
containing the Govornors Proclamation & doings of court
Arurelius Miner Testified to us that He herd Judge Cra-
dlebaugh say that if he could get testimony enough against
a Mormon he would condemn him & hang him before
the Govornor could have time to pardon him
