We finally prevailed upon them to re-
turn 10 camp. whore we would hold Q

tains to come and talk. We told them
they had punishsdth smigrants enough.
and aay be they had killed nearly all Of
them. We told them that Bishop Dame
and President Haight would come, aud
may be they would give them part Of the
cattle and let the company 60 with the
teams. In this way We reconciled them
70 suspend hostilitiss for the present.
The two that had been with Hamblin
and myself the night before said they
had seen two men on horseback come
out OF the smigrants' camp Ut full speed.
and that they went toward Cedar City.

think his name was Edwards-to 60 to
Cedar City and say to President Haight,

sake OF suffering humanity, 10 send out
men 10 rescue that company. This day

aus was TO starve them out, or shoot
them As they went for water. ! lay
there some two hours, and contemplated
their situation. aud wept like u child.
When I returned to camp. some six or
| eight men had come from Cedar City.
Joel White, William @. Stewart
and Elliott q. Weldon were among the
number. but they had no orders. They
had come merely TO see how things
