Show riLL T VORE MOKE i ag fillmore in millard county has experienced similar weather this wi winter to this place by late accounts we learn that 4 feet 11 12 1 2 inches of snow bad fallen on the capitol during the he various storms 1 that preceded the he latter part of december but at I 1 the latest dates january the earth was naked I 1 for about a week during I 1 the severest storms it was I 1 difficult for cattle to obtain feed but by removing them a few miles they comfor comfortably bably tably gi grazed abed until snow left the efti eme snows and weather have pi evet sted much out door work and but little flour though plenty of wheat wheal sometime some time in the latter part of december bro pet peter e r robinson was stabbed I 1 by an indi in on account of his not f fui ut bishing bread when called on or because causerie cau selie he had not got got it to give or some little misunderstanding understand ill con conc concerning cei eining ning 11 the matter which we do not fully understand and probably if we did it would not bedworth be worth writing froin all accounts we suppose the indian to be one of the uni unruly uly sort just as we find some among white folks and most likely it if liis whim had been humored a little m more ore their might have been less stab stabbing bim we understand the chiff acted honorably and surrendered the desperado to the anthof authorities aties at fill more where he easm was in confinement at the last accounts and said if f robinson Ro binon died lie he would wo old shoot the indian that stabbed d him but we trust bro robinson will recover P r though not able to r give ve all particulars of this case we say ay unto all saints do as a you would be done unto suppose the t he case i avei sed you are the ignorant degraded indians and the indians intelligent int ellig eat saints in your midst what ti treatment would you want to receive from them such as would raise you to their standard in wisdom and understanding 0 or r such as would degrade them to your uncultivated level you can easily answer those questions and as you answer so act and we shall hear of little trouble with indians A little matter kindles a great fire A lucifer match the size siese of a pin head may ignite any city in the world and a slight misunderstanding with an all ignorant agnora at in indian di ail may a abiouse ouse the of his whole nation the good will is tar far better than the ill will even of a do dog and why 1 by the alie good will you may save a bite when if you get the bite it might cot coat you more time aid ai d medicine to cure it yes a hundred times more than it would for you to have given the do dog 11 a crust or a loaf and thereby secured the good and shunned the ill will of the do dog and lost los t the bite it has been the general custom of the whites with i M very MY Y f few aw ever si ice the discovery of america by columbus to t teat eat the indians worse than aa dogs and this treatment has excited the ill will of the indians generally and they hive bit many a white and caused many thousands to b bile ile the dust most effectually and so will they continue t do if the whites dont treat them better than they have hitherto done and it is high time for the he saints to se set t the indians an example in this matter if they have not already done it can you not do as well as the indians if they have but one meal they will divide and give one half even to an enemy suppose yourself again the indian would you want the saints to cut yow your lariett and do dog 1 your ponies into the wilderness because they chev thought you were fee ing too near their grain orif or if you were hungry and asked for bread would you want wait them togi ive you a plate of 0 cold potatoes because you had no bread or floar rather than fill your sack or blanket with raw ones that you might roast in ia our own flee or a peck of wheat that you might 0 h t or boll boil at your pleasure or of would wal you want the saints to shoot hoot at you and perhaps maim or leill kill you because you had stolen low them sort some ie trifling M affair when that very ie religion ligion in which you had ever been instructed taught you to steal whenever you had a chance or rather stealing was a part and parcel of your religion taught you by your mother the maxim of the world is is a 1000 spent in war is better than a penny given to preserve peace at least if theu axim is not so written it is so acted but the buth of the maxim is in its reversion A 1000 gi given en to preset preserve ye peace is better than a penny spent in wa var r and let the saints live by this principle and let war cease convert the indians to peace industry and confidence by your kindness and liberality make them to know you ate are their friends all over the territory and it if a poor indian wants a hand sled to r ride ide down hill on and you have none 9 go 0 and make one and give him and how bow do you know but he will pattern from it and make another anotle there you have bave made him a Mee mechanic banic indians love to ride down hill bill as well as white folks and ana many of J both classes will ride so low it will take them a long t time to get up again and if they will thus ride dont hinder but help them at the same time that yo you u feelings of the indians keep y your our tools in houi own hands and stop selling 0 your guns and powder to those who should they turn your enemies would have power to massacre you with your own weapons and those who will not heed this counsel need expect no pity or succor in the day of their darkest calamity lamity a when death and the tomahawk star stares es them in the face on every hand keep what you have got ot and get what you can of those things needful to protect yourselves and households and while the indians indiana know you are ready to defend yourselves will never attack you consequently consequent ly you will he be safe are the saints willing will they exercise as much patience and forbearance towards the poor indian as god their heavenly father exercises towards the saints and that too in proportion to the amount of knowledge possessed by indian and by saint if so you will have very little of indian wars in your midst |
