[Brigham Young Jr.]
Very little raiding done by the Depts. [deputies] and wonderful to relate the leaders of the people are unmolested. Quite a lull in prosecutions for unlawful Cohab [polygamy]. ... Depts very quiet, they fear to frighten capitol away from the Territory." [[Yet on 2 April he says [from Logan] "The Depts are busy arresting north and south of this city. I don't think that I could remain here very long safely."]]
