the mud fort of the Witchetaws which had been
destroyed, and around which the dead bodies Of
many OF the Witehetaws were found, having been
killed by arrows. The ground showed where,
one party had drawn off their Dead and the Del

attacked by an over number Of wild Indians, and
nearly the whole tribe murdered. The Della
wares tearing to remain, left in short time,
travelling as fast as they could, and their route
towards home, met small party OF Witchetaws
that had been out hunting, to whom they told
what they had seen, and they at once said that
their tribe had been attacked by the, Camanches
or Pawnee Mahas, and murdered. They hurried
on towards their village, vOwng to follow their
enemies, and, if possible, release any prisoners
yet alive. The writer thinks there islttle doubt
but that nearly all the Witchetaws were slain.
