Mormon History, Dec 23, 1845

[Hosea Stout Diary] Tuesday Decr 23 1845. Went to the Temple at 7 as before and took breakfast at B. Jones and then went back to the Temple & at ten oclock went to the Hall and met the Lodge and then to the Temple again and then to see some of the Temple Hands who owed the Lodge and settled with them. About two oclock a company of the governors troops came in the city with a United States writ for some of 12 and came to the Temple and while they were there not knowing what to do Br William Miller & G. D. Grant came down out of the Temple and started to Brigham carriage and as they were going Br Grant called Br Miller President Young & asked him if he did not want to take a ride and the officer hearing what was said immediately arrested Br Miller and took him down to the Mansion House and from thence to Carthage not knowing but they had Br Young until they had got there. I worked in the Temple untill evening and met the police and then came home and Br James Pace came with m
e & brought some bleached cotton and let me have 24 yards to make me & my wife robes and other garments.It was bought for me by his Br W. Pace for which may he be blessed.
