CARRizzo PASS, Texas, May q, 1882
FRIEND: This is about the first time have
had an opportunity OF writing to you since
my departure from Dallas. This camp is
ll3 miles from III Paso, east, and among the
mountains. The nearest post-oflice Is
Toyah, ninety miles distant, but can send
this by Il passing train. General
Russ left here several days ago for
| Dallas, and perhaps ST. Louis.
No doubt you met him while in Dallas.
| Considerable excitement exists here, owing
/ to the large number OF Indians reported in
| this part of the country. They are only
! fifteen miles from camp, and we saw their
/
peaks. Day before yesterday | saw two
| about three miles from camp. They also
saw me, but made no demonstration Ia
| take ME in, as | was on the side of high
mountain and there were plenty of friendly
rocks in the vicinity to fortiiy behind. To
| tell you the truth, | was
| little disappointed that they did not
come within gun-shot Of me, as felt conf
! dent had the best OF it, and the ability to
come out first,bes | set perfectly still
and pretended not to see them, but they
were TOO much afraid Mr. Injun would lose
! his scalp TO come near. | watched them
out of sight, then kept around the noun
| tain side to camp, Colonel Baylor, of the
! Texas ranger force, sent three of his mer
here this morning and will follow this
evening with twelve more, carrying ten
days rations. They are going on a scout
on the Apache trail through the Guada-
| lupe mountains, starting tomorrow morn
! ing They have invited me to go with
them, and of course | can't lose such &
good opportunity for fun and adventure
and am making preparations to go; will be
as well armed as any one in the party, ano
expect quite an interesting time, and nc
| DOUBT brush or two with the redskins
! Tie ctiliseoi 80 many IF rle hOstiles being
in this rnrt OF the state is this: Mexico /:
! paying 500 re yard tnr every sea p brought
| in, and, as a cCusrq t.c-, Irdlan-slayine
| Vie rrinci .'il innustry at northern Mexico
| so the lnulap. eros, ID" Ri" GrdDde lot,
| Texas. and this tn!i2Hp ra.~ being Ia,
only place they can get through the mount
aims on their way to northwest Texas and
New Mexico, of course we are bound tt
have them close to us, rs We are camped
directly on their old trail. No murders by
the hostiles have yet been reported, but
news of some is feared. The presence of Col.
onel Baylor and his rangers in the neigh
borhood of Carrizzo Pass may have The
effect OF diverting the hostiles from then
present course. l will write you again after
l come from the scout. Should ANYTHING
of a startling nature take place / will tele.
graph you from the nearest telegraph
station, as a matter of news, and you can
also give it to the HERALD to use. Write
me at Toyah, care of DIR. Johnson, and ]
will get the letter all o. X. Regards to all
the boys. Truly your friend,
JOHN E. HOGAN.
