were found murdered on the ella riv-

Yuma Indians. The bodies of all the
family were found with exception of
the two Oldest girls, who are supposed
to have been carried into captivity aud
to be still living, not with the Yumas.
as At first believed, but with the Mo-

by one Of Walkers men by the name
Of Frank, and that both Of them are
married to chiefs of that tribe. A let

are still living. 1t is almost incredi-
