The Utah chief, Walker. was preparing to give
the aormons battle, and as he has enlisted in his
cause the Camanches aud Apaehes, bloody
struggle may be expected. He has swo IN a war
OF determination and again>t the Mormons
who fall into his hands. The Mormons endeav-
ored to make treaty with him. but his demands
were considered intolerant and they would not
comply with them. He required that they should
build him a house as large as Governor Young's
on prominence near the city, pay him large
sum of money, and furnish him with as many
wives as their veritable Governor has. So far as
the house and money were concerned the Nor
mons were willing to comply, but furnishing the
wives was another NATTER and here the negota-
ton ceased. II is to be regretted that this state
of feeling exsts,as it will be dangerous for small
parties of emigrants to cross the plain the com
ing spring, and as in the case of poor Gunnison
and his party, many whites will perish, who do
not believe in the Mormon creed.
A war party of the Sioux and Cheyennes was
met within three sleeps of New Fort Kearncy,
who had been after the Pawnees, but had not
found any, and were then on their return home,
which they left twenty four days prior. Their
appearance is described as grand and imposing,
marching to the number of fifty abreast, their
ponies and mules following after them, and some
twenty thirty dogs bringing up the rear us
guardians of their stock.
The Arappahoes, Chemenes and Sioux are
making preparations to exterminate the Pawnees
in the spring. They express a determination TO
wipe out the entire tribe. Bloody Indian battles
may therefore be expected soon.
