Angeles county, California. The local pa
pers say that he was l4o. They NIGH. as
well have said that he was l6o. No saw
age OF the early times knows how old he
is, and of course no white man can tell en-
crpt by appearances. The loss, however,

i,ibiting its relics. Grav-haired Indians
can be found around every antiq,,ated Mis-. |
sion, whose age, the whites insist, is much
over a hundred years.
