A Shoshoni war party came riding down Weber Valley and camped close by Most of the Mountain Green men had 'gone to war' and the nearby Indians became insolent, going from door to door demanding food. They soon had all the women in Mountain Green cooking for them while the children ran and hid. They finally began demanding presents of chickens and pigs. That night the settlers hardly slept and next morning a messenger hurried off to Ogden, asking for protection. The men hustled home from South Weber to protect their homes in Mountain Green, Mayor Lorin Farr of Ogden, a born diplomat, dispatched a wagonload of pro¬visions and five fat beeves as a present to the Indians, carrying out President Brigham Young's advice to feed, not fight, the red men. He probably figured that one war at a time was enough. The Indians spent that night in feasting, singing, and dancing and the settlers felt a great deal safer. Contrary to the general impression, an Indian would rather eat than fight. The next day, the warriors and families rode away across the hills, yelling and singing. They probably thought that Ogden was a good town and that Mayor Farr was a 'jolly good fellow'. (Taken from a story in the Ogden STandard Examiner by O. A. Kennedy, dated 19 April 1925.) 313 |
