During a Sunday temple meeting Nauvoo police officers Hosea Stout and John Scott throw a rock on the head of a suspected spy "which came very near to taking his life." Brigham Young "observed to the brethren that it was my wish that all dancing and merriment should cease, lest the brethren and sisters be carried away by vanity, and that the name of Diety should be held in reverence, with all the due deference that belongeth to an infinite being of his character."
