had they been followed to their homes
 before, and they evidently felt per- fectly safe when once across the Rio
 Verde. Bitterly did they suffer for their lack of watchfulness.
 Some cash being left in hands of the Finance Committee, after the cell ebration expenses were paid, pistols were bought and presented to c. Davis and Thomas Roddick, each of whom lost one on the trip. A fine Henry rifle was also purchased and presented to J. B. Townsend, the Captain of the citizens. A silver plate was set into the stock bearing this inscription :: Presented to J. B. Townsend, by the citizens of Prescott, June, 1871. Honor to the brave.'
 One cause of congratulation in con- nection with the matter under con- sideration, is the fact that the military and citizens worked together so har- moniously and successfully. There was no display of envy or jealousy. Lieutenant Morton and his party and Townsend and party all wanted to get Indians; they travelled by night to secure their object. Lieutenant Mor- ton had with him Mexican guide who had been prisoner among the Apaches fifteen years, and could read every sign left on the trail like book; he proved of great value in making the approach to the rancherias. More over. Lieutenant Morton,is a sensible young man and was not above asking and fOlJOwing the advice of the old h. dian hunters who were along.
