Hostile movements are general ly conducted on foot, the march ing being done in day time, as these Indians have snperstitious fears of the appearance of witches or spirits of the dead in the dark. They have some horses, but from had treatment and hard riding they are generally too weak and puny to be relied on. They fight in arnbuscade and under cover, though it is said, that, when con- tending with Navajoes or Mexi' cans, they meet them in open fight, as they do not fear them. When they have been successful In capturing much stock or booty, they are more iearless and march day oI nigl:t. 0Idinarily, in nov ing about at night, they carry torches made of cedar bark. In fighting an open battle they chsfge with their Iances, yelling as Abev run, Alter the first cilaige they secrete tbemselves ana nght rom cover. They ese said to De

Their native war weapons are bows and arrows and long lances tipped with metal. The arrows are tipped with metal or flint. , The handle or shank of the lance is made of the inner woody part Of the palmed cactus stalk. An. other weapon, used in domestic fights, is made by enclosing a Mound stone about three inches in diameter in the hide of bulls tail and then inserting a strong stick for handle. The stone has 3 play of about six inches from the end of the stick, thus making Y formidable weapon. The tuft of the tail projects from the other end and forms the ornamental part. Common butcher knives are also much used by them. Of sas they have 0btalae1 many nrs arms ofmodern patterns l oy trsding with unsc. 4pulous N'h lies aat by capture from vic.

 The treatment Of csptives is an exception 10 the general rule among Indians. In this respect they gre not only humane, bu t of. ten heroic in their conduct. Ins. tesd Of meeting 8 cruel death or torture, the captive is adopted and treated in all respects, as a relation of the captor. This fact Is verified by the number of cap- lives. both Indians and Mexicans, that are now among them. Many Of the data of this report were
