was to enter the camp and say to the
people that the Mormons had come
to save them; that on giving up their
arms they would be safely conducted
to Cedar City, there to await a proper
time for continuing their journey.
From the hill to the west Of the be-

Major Higbee, in command of the

while it had not cooled the anger he
felt toward these members of the mob
that had so brutally wronged his
people, had slightly cooled his ardor

The following Tuesday he continued
south to Cedar City, the most popu-
lous of the southern settlements.
Here he learned of the campaigns
progress. Brigham's courier had pre-
coded the train on it's way south, bear
ing written orders to the faithful to
hold no dealings with it's people; to
sell them neither forage for their
stock nor food for themselves. They
had, it was reported, been much dis

their stock was greatly weakened. At

such effectiveness that the Indians
were unable to complete the task.
They had corralled their wagons, dug
