Pugmire told Henry that he believed that Brother Bosnell was guilty of the things his daughter accused him of, and he had found evidence to prove it. They agreed to make further inquiry Jesse Lewis and Betsy Pugmire were manied by Henry Lunt on June 13. A meeting was called in the center of the Fort early on June 7. Henry instructed the men that those who felt like spending all their time in the iron works should be free from the field, and those who l were farmers, and would like to spend al their time in farming, should be united in taking care of the field. The men who chose to work in the Iron Works were counseled to let out their crops to those who would take charge of the field, and they were to give them one-half of their grain which would pay them well. Henry said, "If there are men here who will not comply with these requisitions, they had better gather up and leave this place." After this dissertation, sixteen men turned out for the iron business. Some went to digging out a place for the wheel to blow the blast furnace, and some went to the canyon for timber. Nearly all the folks in town went off in wagons to Elk Horn Springs to hold a picnic party on Monday, June 21, 1852. There were very few left in camp. That day, Henry wrote in his journal: "About 11 a.m. ten Indians came to our house and seemed rather saucy. I gave them a smoke and a piece of bread each. They then went round to the other's houses. Sister Bladen gave them some bread and they threw it to the ground." After the picnic a dance was held at Chatterley's house. The next day Alex Easton's mare was found shot with an arrow and subsequently died. George Brimhall and Brother Gould came in fiom Shirt's Canyon on June 27 for Sunday meeting. They had gone to the canyon to get hearth stones, and, while there, some Indians brought a beautiful specimen of stone isinglass and said there was any quantity of it two sleeps off--large rocks of it as big as a house. Brimhall and Gould brought the specimen t o the meeting with them. It was agreed that the isinglass would make beautiful window glass. Lunt and Brimhall addressed the congregation. Later, Henry recorded: "I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for making known unto us the hidden treasures of the mountains that are so usell unto his Saints."" That evening
