[Hosea Stout Diary] Sunday Jany 18th 1846. Met the guard as usual.Lorenzo Young reported to the guard that he had lost some five or six head of cattle last nightI sent the guard in search of them for the[y] thought they were stolen & then heard the report from Br. Patten who had been to Carthage as a spy & then went to A. J. Stouts and there learned from some of the guard that they had found the cattle near Hibbards.From there I came home at Eleven and there remained untill three and then met the guard as before.We rode up the river three or four miles to look at a lot of timber which had been procured by M. Johnson for the guard we came in on the North East part of town & I came home before dark
