The Indiana told u lhat when he died they kl'led one of his wives, also two Indian prisoners, and 10 of I heir finest horses, and burled w ith him all his arms and Insignia of rank; this was In order that ha might enter the next world as a great chief should, with wife, servant, horses and arms.

Their plan was well devised. Men were placed In ambush In the canyons to kill the men as they singly came along with their loads; others lay in wait along the roads leading from the feild to shoot men as they come along one by one; and that none might escape from these snares six or eight men were stationed at each of the four gates to kill any who mght entttr, having escaped outside dangers. These disposed of they thought it an easy matter to slay the few men In the fort and the women and children, over a 100 in number. But of all these fearful preparations the Mormons were blissfully ignorant. They noticed the groups qbout the gates but thought nothing of it, while those in the fields and canyons knew nothing ofthetrouble.

At the gate stood a crowd of Indians who supposed the fhlef was to be executed and were greatly excited by his appeals to them for help.
