[Apostle Wilford Woodruff Journal] 19th Saturday A vary windy day. Early in the morning I was on the ground for the city plot in company with the Twelve & others. Br Young was the chief surveyer of the plot. We laid of lots sufficient to settle about 150 families. We set some hooks & cot some cat fish & returned home. 10 mil.
I met in council in the evening with the Twelve & H. Council & several items of business was attended to. At the close I conversed with Br Young & others abut A report that had reached our ears that the Marshall of the State of Missouri was on his way with a Posse to take the Twelve with some kind of a warrant.
