Thinking the Indians were lying, the Militia men killed them and left them in the snow. Years later, when the truth came out, it was learned that the real killers were the Kavajos and a few Paiutes who, then, traded the clothing of the victims to some peaceable Paiutes, who had told the truth when they denied the killing." A few months later, three members of the Berry family were killed near Short Creek, 25 miles west of Pipe Spring. These killings led to the abandonment of Pipe Spring for the summer, hut by the next spring the area was used hy the Utah Territorial Militia as a base for their operations against the raiding Navajos. In 1870 President Brigham Young, of the Mormon Church, and his advisors decided to establish a ranch for the raising of cattle and production of dairy products for the nearby settlements.

In 1888 Pipe Spring and its buildings were sold to B.F. Saunders. Seven ?can later, as previously mentioned, Saunders was bought out by the partners, Dave Bulloch and Lehi Jones. Of the purchase, Bulloch wrote to his wife in Dec. of 1895: "I had a long talk to Saundersabour Pipe Spring - he told me if I would go out and see it he thought I would huy it. There are," he stated: "about five thousand dollan worth of improvements on the place. There are two large buildings two stories with five rooms in each and quite a number of small buildings." In addition, there was a hay field and "all kinds of frnit trees and afish pond."' It contained 40 acres including the main spring, which is one of themost important in the country, flowing about half a second foot of water." Dave Bulloch was somewhat acquainted with this area. I n 1879, he had covered the east part of the Arizona Strip with the Hole-in-theRock scouting party. Lehi and Dave, to some degree, inherited range trouble of which, at first, they were unaware.^ Cows were not respecton of so-called public property range lines, and there were other cattle companies in the same area. The first rattle they brought to Pipe Spring Ranch came from Deep Creek, south of Wendover, west of Salt Lake City. They purchased these cattle and took them to Arizona on this new ranch and referred to them as the Circle Two cattle because of their brand.
