Tuesday, June 9

Weather fine and hot. Went fishing at daybreak with James and had

good luck. At nine we went on. I rode again. Afternoon three Indians

overtook us and begged some bread. We camped on a bottom beside Coleman

and others, having traveled about twelve miles. Two Indians are here

and we have learned their camp is only three miles from us. President

Young left word to go in companies from here to avoid being plundered

by the Indians. We had our cattle tied up and a guard over them through

the night.
