Capt Connor of Fort Utah until further orders will keep a strict organization of his command sending out scouting parties frequently to Spanish Fork Table Point and other directions that he may keep himself possessed of all or any information pertaining to the Indians and if they shall come in and sue for peace Grant it to them. If not pursue and slay them whenever they can be found. Let it be with them, "Extermination or Peace."
