Mormon History, Oct 2, 1845

[Hosea Stout Diary] Thursday October 2nd 1845. Earley this morning I went Weeks down in town to learn what was going on & inform me.But before he returned the troops passed up Mulholland Street on their way back to Carthagethey were Singing and hollowing & making use of the most insulting and imprudent language to grate on the feelings of the Saints which they could which Showed the goodness and patriotism of this "efficient arm of the Law"So kindly Sent by the Govorner to insult and abuse us as he did last year under the name of protection & Law.After the troops had passed Capt McRae & Charles Allen came here said that they had not heard any thing more of me being demanded.I went with them then to the Marque and there met with Thomas Rich who came home with me and I remained there till 4 oclock P. M. and then met the police at the Temple from thence went to Allen Weeks again & Stayed till morning.
