It is believed they burned Sanders alive, because he was a brave man and a good shot, The Indians had constructed temporary breastworks and covered them over with grass to prevent being seen. The remains of Tommy 1 Owens, the mail carrier from Camp | Grant to Apache. who ventured . to go out from Apache and ascer- tain the whereabouts of the Indians, was | found by the presence of a dog, which | evidently belonged to an unknown man, | whose remains were found near that of | Tommy Owens. The noble dog which had been shot through the shoulder by the savages, did not desert his master, even in death; he had located a plain trail from the re- mains ot his master Co that of of Tommy Owens, and was so emaciated that he could scarcely walk, having been without food for eight days. Remains of Tommy Owens were stripped of clothing and had a bullet hole through the head, but as t is well known GUS tom of the Indians to shoot their victims SO, even though they may have received a fatal shot in the body, t is quite likely Owens was dead when shot in the head The faithful sentinel was taken to Apache where 1t was adopt ,d by Col Carr, who will see to it that le is faithfully cared for. It is believed : hat there are other remains in that To- , 'ality not yet found. The bodies found E were fearfully decomposed and had to ,e buried where found.
