Journal Entry

April 22, 1859 ~ Friday

22nd I sowed some peas to day. Robert sowed some oats
I spent a part of the day in the office. I had some conversa-
tion with Zerubbabel Snow about Camp Floyd. A Rumour
is abroad this morning that a company of volunteers from
Arkansas toare on their way to Iron County to punish
those who had a hand in the Mountain meadyow massa-
cree & that a thousand men are on the way to guard
the Government money in route for the armey. This afternoon
the City is filled with rumors saying that Johnson is
coming to this City with two ridgments, that Col Johnson
sent word to Gov Cummings if he did not straighten
out Brigham Young & the mormons he should take the
matter into his own hands. Also that 5 marshall went
to Wm Hickmans to take him. Also that Judge Cradle-
baugh went south with several hundred men to make
arests &c &c. James Furguson was vary sick and came near
dying drinking poisioned whiskey. Bentley helped me move Books
