a feast while we are here

Walker wanted to have the Mormons sing before the parties
took a smoke. He said E. T. Benson came and his heart was good
but D. Huntington came and his heart was running

We then sung and when we had this was done Walker
again spoke and said I have not got the Spirit of the Lord and if
there is any one here that can give me the Spirit of the Lord I wish
they would do it. He said white people in heaven were happy.

Tulpidge next spoke amid much crying and tears
He was the Indian who had his wife-squaw killed. He said D. Huntington
had been good to him and he had not seen him since his child died. He
said they had not got good hearts and the Mormons' hearts were now
good who were here. We have now good peace and can all lie down
in peace without fear and I want to live in friendship with this people

We left the Indian Camp and returned to our waggons
But President Young had another talk with Walker this day. I was
not present and Thomas Bullock reported

On the following day we again visited Walker at
his tent. He was still in the same unpleasant mood and
did not wish to talk and he left his tent and went into the
willows, and others talked. The Indians had a sick child and
they wished the Elders to lay hands up it. Then President Kimball Benson
and Wells laid hands upon it and administered to it. Dr Sprague
also left some medicine for it and for others who were sick

The Indian said if the child died he should
have to kill an Indian child or a Mormon child to go with it. (This
is their tradition). The interpreter told him he must not do it—that
it was wrong; that when Mormon children died we did not
kill any child to go with them and they must not do it for
it was not right. The Indian said his heart was not
so. He wanted to kill some one to go with him. He said
he wanted his child to get well and then he would go with us
