and the prophet was in He Wm
Davis went to to see the prophet while there Mr
Weathers the County Surveyor came to him and said Mr
Davis I want to ask you some questions and I want you to tell
the truth will you do it. He answered I will if I know it Mr Davis
do you not know that there is 300 Mormons lying in ambush near
this town, with the intention of liberating Joseph Smith and his
brethren from Prision. Mr Davis Answered No sir I do not know
that there is one Mormon lying in Ambush in this region. Mr
Davis do you not know that there is 300 Indians lying in ambush
near this town to liberate Joseph Smith. No sir I do not know
that there is an Indian any whare near here Mr Weathers then
said last night all the guard saw three Indians Chiefs dressed in
war rament walk three times around Liberty Jail whare
Mormons are imprisioned and Evry th time they came
aroung [around] they struck their tomakawks into a cedar post and
then they went off towards the forest and when they left there
was a large Bow & Arrow appeared in the Heavens over the
Jail and it shone like silver and the reflection of it cast its
form upon the Jail over the probbats room and that was a
sure sign that there was 300 Indians in Ambush to liberate
the prisioners And Mr Weathers & the guard all believed
this was true if it is correct it is certainly worthy
of a place in the History of the Church
