On July 23rd, a contingent of the militia, sent fYom Manti on a scouting expedition, had a "brush" with a band of warriors at Pleasant Creek killing six or seven Indians.'' There were several other skirmishes during the summer. Captain Gunnison, who had explored the Great Salt Lake in 1849, returned in 1853 with a detachment of men to do some more exploring and surveying. They came into Utah by way of the Green River and were determined to explore the Sevier Lake before going to Salt Lake City for the winter. Ducks were plentifid and, on October 25, Gunnison's men began shooting at some. A band of Indians heard the firearms and, after Gunnison's party had retired, they surrounded their camp and, the following morning, massacred the entire party." In spite of the threat of Indians which seemed to be taking place mostly in the northern part of the state, Cedar City continued on with a celebration on the 25th of July since the 24th fell on Sunday. George K. Bowering stated the following in his journal: Battalion assembled at the Fort with a brass band. Then, all went over to Coal Creek, called the Little Muddy, unto a piece of ground appointed for a city and raised a liberty pole and ran upon it the Stars and Stripes. The dancing until daybreak went off first rate, and all appeared satisfied. July 26, 1853: The boys got up a dance in the afternoon, when in the midst of dancing, in all the glory thereof, we were called out of the ballroom in the Bowely to listen to instructions or orders from headquarters, that is to say, from President Brigham Young, Governor of Utah Tenitory. The orders were to enforce Martial Law, in consequence of Indian difficultie~.'~ Governor Young issued the following orders on July 25: I...Colonel G. A. Smith is hereby assigned to the command of all the Military Districts of the Tenitory south of Great Salt Lake
