Thursday 11^th we rode to Chicken Creek & stoped & spent
the night near Walker & his band. we had an interview with
Walker President Young & counsel tried to have a talk with
him at first Walker appeared dogish & was not disposed to
talk when we first formed our carrell within 40 rods
of his camp, He gatherd all his warriors & made quite a
display but we did not go out to meet them at the
time they turned their horses out & went into their
tents. And when we called upon Walker He lay down
in the dirt & did not feel disposed to talk but BPresidt
Young manifested great patience with him even after
the patience of most men was exhausted He went to
him & lifeted him out of the dirt & finally got him
to talk some the following is a synopsis of the conversation
Walker said he had no spirit He had no heart did not
feel as though He could talk And when I herd that President
Young was coming I felt that I had no heart I do not
want to talk I want to hear President Young talk & he
sit still & here others talk President Young gave him some
tobaco he said when he had plenty of tobaco then all his
friends would come in & smoke with him but when He
was out of tobaco Gov Young said I have brought soome
beef cattle for you I want one killed so you kan have
a feast while we are here He wanted to have the mormons
sing before the parties take a smoke. He said E T Benson come
& his heart was good but D Huntington came & his heart was
running. we then sung. He then spoke & said I have not got
the spirit of the Lord and if their is any one here that
kan give me the spirit of the Lord I wish they would
do it. He said white people in heaven was happy

Tulpidge next spoke amid much crying & tears he is the
one that had his wife killed at He said that I (D Huntington)
