[Hosea Stout Diary] Wednesday Oct. 11th 1848. Occupied as above. In the last evening 3 young men, Marshall Hunt, son of Capt J. Hunt William Boren and Jesse Earl brought in 10 horses which they had loosed and brought here for the purpose of getting pay for bringing in. This morning the owners came protesting they had been loosed & we gave them up & after cross questioning the men who brought them in we made them confess it & also had them go and acknowledge the same to President Rich & upon their promise to do better let them go.
I then went with Elias Gardner to the Jordan cow hunting. The Jordain is a beautiful stream running from the Utah to the Salt Lake.
