They represented themselves as of the Tribe called “the Arraphoes” and wished us to camp with their party on the Platte tonight which was not acceded to we being too far from the river. By signs as far as the Brethren could understand them these 3 men represented that some Emigrant Train was attacked by the Sioux Indians 5 days ago, and they thought our train would be attacked also. The Brethren by signs said we had plenty of rifles, powder, lead and caps. The 3 Indians shook their heads. Camped for the night on the open prairie close to a small muddy pool of water scarcely sufficient for cooking purposes. Poor feed. Cattle chained to the waggons for the night. They have had a long & tedious day’s journey and seem quite exhausted though the roads on the whole have been tolerably good. Prest. Willie notified the Saints that the horn would blow in the morning at rise at 3 so as to start at 4." Levi Savage recorded: Platte hills; Monday 15th Sept 18,56: This fore noon we traveled up the botom on good roads. after noon we commenced to ascend the Bluffs. The ascent was sand; it caused very hard puling. as we arose the sumit three Indians came to us. They were friendly, & Said that the Shians and Soux would kill us all, that they had some five days ago fell upon a large train. What damage was done we did not acertain; and we only have the Indian confirm it at best. At Sundown we camped aroung [sic] a Small Buffalo wallow which had ben reacently been [sic] filed with the reacent rains. We were all much futiegued with our days Journey. We chained the our oxen to the wagon. for there was neither feed nor water, and we had Some fears of the Indians. We Set a Strong guard. about 2 oclock A.M. an alarm was mad. I immediately got out of bed, but Seen nor heard nothing of Indians. Some Said they one Saw one, and heard the voices of others."
