respective wards. Each ward was to be organized into a quorum of Elders with E. H. Grove over them, and Henry Lunt was put in as Clerk of said quorum. Smith also advised, "be carefil not to indulge the Indians in their laziness, for they have their way of living and let them depend on it, or labor as we do. It would not be amiss for each man to weigh his supplies of provisions lest he may be making way with it faster than what he is aware of" He counseled them to be industrious, saying, "idleness is no part of Mormonism--still, take things patiently." After such warm weather, the settlers were surprised the following week when snow fell two days in a row. In fact, they could not hold meeting on Sunday because of the mud after the snow melted. Late that evening a company of men attempted to move a smsll cabin belonging to Sixtus Johnson and his brother Nephi. The building was not in line with the others and the move was intended to be a prank as it was being done without the knowledge of the owners, although they sent someone to invite them to the "bee," expecting them to join the company with fiiendly feelings. This would, doubtless, have been the case had not Joseph Millett, a teamster of 18 years of age, gone to the brothers and influenced them to the contrary. They and the lad, to the surprise of the company, came out with guns and threatened to shoot the fist man that touched their building. The gun was wrenched from Millett, and they reasoned with the Johnson boys explaining the object and designs of their intentions, saying they were among friends, not enemies. In the process, loud talk ensued which brought President Smith from his bed. He laid hold of the boy and asked him what he meant by threatening to shoot, shaking him and eventually throwing him on the ground. They were all advised to retire to rest and were told if they wanted to move the building to do it some other night except Sunday. They immediately dispersed and moved the cabin a few days later. The following entries appeared in Smith's journal: Februaty 17: 1 employed about eight hands to get timber for the mill tomorrow. Brother Henry Lunt wrote up my journal about 10 o'clock this evening. February 23: Brother Pugmire killed a rooster last
