Left three men to assist Colonel Little in gathering the cattle in readiness for driving them to Salt Lake City. August 7, 1853: commenced starting the cattle and driving out the young stock, explaining orders, etc. to the citizens. They threatened to shoot when, by order of Colonel Little, we left the corral.

Smith and others separated the cattle. Some opposed it and brought out their guns threatening to shoot anyone who touched their cattle which caused the business to be halted.
