The following Tuesday and Wednesday he grew much, much worse.
Lorenzo was preaching at the Brigham City Tabernacle. Her father brought a note up to the pulpit. Elder Snow stopped the talk, read the note and then explained to the congregation that it was a call to visit a family in deep sorrow and asked to be excused. 
On the morning of July 24th, Pioneer Day, Elder Snow met with all of the LDS prisoners and proposed something that had, as far as I know, never been done in a prison before or since.
Joseph F Smith had been a missionary in the islands as a young man. He knew the danger of the surf in Maui. 
During Lorenzo's missionary service in England he allowed a convert sister to read his patriarchal blessing. 
After several months of no success, the son of Lorenzo's landlord, Monsieur and Madame Gray, became deathly ill.
"One morning, near the break of day, as I approached the summit of a long hill, I saw about a dozen fierce looking men, armed with guns and bowie knives, advancing towards me."

"We have planned this whole building without adequate chimneys for heating. What on earth will we do to heat all the halls and rooms in the winter time? We will have to tear part of the walls out, won't we? What shall we do?" 
"When they purchased a lot for a second cathedral, a blemish on the title was discovered. Both the seller and Father Kelly agreed to go to Brigham to settle the matter, rather than suffer legal litigation, agreeing to stand by his decision.
Speaking in the Salt Lake Tabernacle, Brigham Young said, "How many times have I been asked . . . what I intended to do with Wakara. I say let him alone. I have not made war on the Indians, nor am I calculating to do it.
