104 A DREAM AND ITS FULFILLMENT. blankets. This was done during the winter previous to our visit. The Navajoes have evidently been the plunderers of the Moquis for generations, and the latter have retaliated when-ever they have had an opportunity. Peace between these tribes would be a great blessing to botV . This trip and its influences appears to have been a turning-point the commencement of a great practical change for the better in the lives of these tribes. The Lord's time for a change had evidently come. Wishing to do all I could to give strength to a peaceful policy, I invited Tuba, a man of good report among his people, to take with him his wife, Pulaskanirnki, to go home with me ; get acquainted with the spirit and policy of our people, and become a truthful representative of them among his people. I promised to pay him for what labor he might perform, and bring him home the next autumn. After counseling with their friends, he and his wife accepted my invitation. When we arrived on the cliffs before crossing the Colorado, the Piutes living in the Navajoe country, came to me and said as they had taken a part with the Navajoes in raiding on our people, they desired to have a good peace talk. They were about thirty in number. After an interesting council, we commenced to descend the difficult cliff to the crossing of the river. While doing so, Brother Nathan Terry said he had a dream the night before, and that it had been on his mind all day, and he believed it meant something. In the dream he saw the company riding along the trail, when he heard the report of a gun. He looked around, and saw one of tne company fall to the ground, and he thought he went and put the person on his horse, and they continued their journey. After descending the cliff, I was some distance in the rear of the company, when suddenly, what appeared like a flash of lightning came over me. It was with great difficulty that I could breathe. Not being able to help myself, I partly fell to the ground.
