Thursday, August 5

Again at the roadometer, day very warm. J. C. Little and others

have returned and report that they have been at the Utah Lake. As they

went up they saw bodies of two dead Indians lying on the ground proving

that there was one of each tribe killed the other day. They consider

it to be about forty miles to the Utah Lake and on the east side is a

handsome valley about six or eight miles wide. They are now convinced

that the stream which runs a few miles below here is the Utah outlet,

they having followed it to its junction with the lake.
