I returned from the farm and it was made known to [FIGURE] me that there was an Insane man in the City said He came from Calafornia Professed to be Christ and said God had ordained him to Baptize by fire all who did not receive his testimony and that was to be through a pistol or Rifle he was to kill every one who did not receive his testimony and He was Esspecially ordained to kill John Taylor & George Q Cannon. I laid the matter before President Taylor But he did not seem to have any fears upon the matter But we thought it proper to lay the Matter before the Probate Judge and as the court thot him a dangerous man to be at libyerty arangements were made to put the man in the Insane assylum.
