dead body of an unknown white man dressed
| in buckskin. He was sitting on his knees
and had his gun in position to fire. He was
| shot through the forehead. From this it ap-
pears the Indians are not all alone in their
hellish work. The supposition is the Indians
have gone south to join the Southern Utes,
and the impression among the officers of
Merritts command is that the Indians who
fought Thornburg number at least 700.
