They had spent several months preparing the dugout for the family. Here is E.W. Cranes story on the home they built: Father and I spent the 24th of July with mother and family in Manti. On the 26th, we brought the family down and resided here permanently. The following winter, father and we boys quarried the rock and hauled them while father built the south east room of the old Crane home. When we moved in on the 25th of July, it only had a dirt floor and a willow roof. In the northwest corner of this room, we had a bin made of dobies to store wheat in. On the top of the wheat, mother put a straw tick and made a bed for we boys. We seven children, with mother and father, lived m this one room for a year. After this, we built on and the two younger brothers were born in this home " Indian Purest The fort was used to good advantage in the year 1872. Every settler in the valley rushed to the fort because of an attack by the Indians. Farther south, two men were killed. The Indians took cattle and horses Immediate action was taken by Joseph A. Young, from Richfield He organized the men of Salma, both young and old, into a military militia. John W. Curtis, a Civil War veteran, was captain of the guards. Jens Mortensen was adjunct. A Mr Acel Hawley, a Civil War veteran from Central, came to Salma to help train the military. We boys took training with the men and took our turns standing guard up until the fall of 1873.
