Stanton. Carr says Cooley went out on the
night of the Sd in hopes to bring in part of
Pedro's own band Cruises First Sergeant
Nose and Alcoshsy, a White mountain chief,
have gone out to talk with Pedro. They
have not much faith in Pedro or his band.
Carr has now three additional companies with
him. Captain Mcclellan reports from old
Fort Grant that he is not able to get across
the Gila, it not being fordable. Prices COM
mand moved out of Verde for the head of
Tonto Basin on the morning of the 6sh-
