stead Of three and half, as heretofore.
BY an arrival in town from the Pimo Villages, as
well as by the way Of San Diego, we learn that quite
a serious engagement took place between the Pimo
Indians the part and the Yuma and other Colo
RADIO river Indians, aided by number Of the Apache
tribe. Some time since the Pimo chief sent word to
Col. Burton, U. S. A, in command at Fort Yuma,
that his Yuma Indians were becoming insolent, and
that hs must take care Of them, or he the Pimo
would lie compelled b go down and chastise them.
1t would appear that this caution was not received
by the Yumas or at all events il was not Needed as
not long after the Ynmas and other river Indians with
some allied Apaches, entered the Pimo country and
killed ne women and children. As soon as the
alarm was given, the Pimos called to arms and
mounting, hastily pursued the intrudes. Onovertak
ing them fight commenced which led to an action,
seldom equaied in Indian warfare. Il Is reported that
$50 or lG0 of the allied Indians being nearly quite
the entire party, were left deal the field. The
Pimos lost some twenty-five men in the battle.
The Pmo Indians. for more than quarter Of a cen
tury have not only cultivated friendship with the
surrounding Indians well travellers Of all nations
and classes who pass through their country and towns,
but they have extensively cultivated the soil They
have never been the aggressors, but whenever they
have been insulted by surrounding tribes they have
invariably buckled on their armor and unlinchingly
chastised the impndent aggrcssor.
