August 1867 - Chief Tabby a Ute Indian Chief, met with Joseph Stacy Murdock to negotiate peace.  Bishop Murdock had been called by President Brigham Young to preside over and care for the Latter-Day Saints in the area by serving as Bishop and a political leader.  Thanks to the efforts of both men, this was a lasting treaty which would put an end to the hostilities with local settlers in the Heber City area and the Ute Indians. This event also helped put an end to the Black Hawk War.
