The first | day out it encountered d storm of SIX days duration, during Which they were without | tents. After the storm, the country was l flooded. The animals pulled Of SiXty-two shoes in making fifteen miles, and three horses and two mules were disabled. The snow on the MOgOllOn mountain was bel ly deep to the animals and not enough water could be had for them to drink, The men got water by melting snow. On the other side of the mountains they spent thirty-SiX hours in hunting for water; made a permanent camp after finding It and commenced to scout for Indian signs. On the 2St h we struck a small party, kill ed two bucks and captured the remainder, two sQuaws and four children. This nap pened on the main trail of the Indians, and they got wind of it.. The trail was broad and the moon bright, so thatit could be followed almost on the run. About o'clock the next morning. We came into their deserted camp; tue fires were still burning. Then the scouts and soldiers dropped every article of clothing that would impede them and the chase com menced. They led us north, first toward the SnoW-line but soon swung round to the south and crossed our trail of three days previous, which was in the bottom of d deep canyon, and were making for tiIe still larger canyon beyond. As soon as we came in sight of their rear, they scat tered and redoubled their efforts to escape Just at this time, having been on the march twelve hours, one buck was killed as he ran and three SquawS captured. Sol dierS and Indian scouts had been without sleep and food for fOrtE-eight hours, and IL was impossible to pursue them further The SquaWS captured say that they were first put on the march to keep clear Of the party they saw to the eaSt-Capt. Mont gOmery'S from Apache. This was in the country southeast from Chavez pass, on the Little Colorado road. A scout of three days was made north of the road, which reached within twelve miles of San Fran cisco mountains, but no Indian signs had been made since the snow. The Indians captured are now at this post and will be sent to the reservation.
