120 years ago today - Jul 6, 1892

[President Wilford Woodruff Journal] 6 I received a Letter from Brother H[a/e?]rman in Turkey showing that Bi[.....] [ ] who has been working for us in the Turkish Dominion to give us the Privilege of Printing & Publishing our Doctrins in that Land we learn that this man is a Lier & a deceiver and is keeping our Money without doing any thing for us.

Brother John Henry Smith Called this morning And Stated that the report of the Death of Lot Smith was As follows: That the Navajoes turned there Sheep into Lots Pasture & Lot shot the Sheep & the Navajoes shot 6 Milk Cows of Lots & Lot Commenced shooting at the Navajoes & they shot Lot & He rode 6 Mils & Lived 6 Hours & died. Thus Ends Lot Smith Life.
