detailed account OF d fight between the
Mohave and Piute Indians near Fort
Mohave about October 10. He says:
''The Mohaves lost eleven killed
and ten wounded-some of the latter

wounded. The Mohaves soon gath
cred in one camp, for defence, and
had their war dances nightly. The
battle is to be fought over again.
/ learn that the Piutes are gather
ing at Los Vegas Ranch, and will
soon call on the Mohaves again. The
next time, they say they Will be three
Oh four hundred strong, and carry one
hundred guns, and intend to drive the
Mohaves off the bottom. They say

reservation. The Mohaves have col
lectod III one village and fortified
themselves, and say that they will

have about seventy-tive guns, and can
muster seven hundred braves. The
old Indians and squaws are busy ma
king arrows and war implements, and
all seem to be eager for /. fight.
