11^th I wrote a Letter to G. A. Smith & gave him all the News I
could think of. Brother L. W. Hardy buried a child to day
about 2 years old I delivered a short Funeral address
was Followed by Bishop Hunter & A. O. Smoot I prayed
I called upon President Young. He had been poorly through
the day but said he felt better now he was going to take
a warm bath in the evening sent for Dr Sprague. He said
he believed that Cradlebaugh would fizzle out in his court
and not be as long winded as Sinclair was while speak-
ing A messenger arrived From Provo with Letters to the
Presidency & others. Cradlebaugh called the Jury to him
or he met with them & gave them another charge
told them that when 12 of their Jury agreed to find
a Bill & if their foreman did not agree with them
to appoint one of their number Foreman & write up
the Bill a Bill found signed by the Foreman recommend-
ed them to appoint a clerk & to keep a secret Book
for their benefit & destroy it when they got through
they were sworn to secrecy & must not tell there
Procedings while out of court He explained the reason
why he had called a company of soldiers to his aid
to guard the Prisioners &c. Brother Carrington read
a Letter to Brother Calkings, from the President and
some other Letters. In speaking at the funeral today
of Brother Hardy's child I said little children when
they died went home to God who gave them and I
had no fears about them not half as much as I
had about those who lived. I had great anxiety abo-
ut the children of theis people that they might walke
in the light of the Lord & be prepared to sustain this
kingdom in their Generation I said those who were
faithful in keeping the commandments of God would
have their children again but those who were wickd
& would not keep the commandments of God would be
seperated from their children for their children
would inherit a Celestial Glory while their wicked
parents would be thrust down to hell therefor it becomes
evry Parent to keep the commandments of tGod that
they may have their children in the family organiza-
tion in the celestial world.

We are having a terrific cold snow snorm the wind blows
a gale & exceding cold it was a vary cold distressing night
for cattle. President Young was in his office till 10 'oclok
Heis feelings are that the court in Provo would flush
out and they would not have Power to accomplish his evil desigms
