A telegram to the New York Herald from
Tombstone. A. T.. July 1, says: The full story
OF Peck's little niece, rescued from hostile In
dians by Mexcans, throws considerable light
on the manner in which the redskins mark
their trail. Trinidad Meridian, aged ten years,
the rescued girl, says that during her captivity
the band was almost constantly travelling, but
always stopped for meals They had plenty of
steak, OF which She was always given plenty.
She never saw any one killed. bat often heard
firing and was told that it was bucks killing
beet she never say soldiers nor any one dur

Ing anybody was one night when the indians
passed SO near Magdalena that she heard the
band playing in the plaza. From what the
child further states the Indians must have car
ried her over a large region OF country, At
one time they were in the mountains,
where she saw a large number of squaws'
On another occasion the band camped on

ing night great number of Indians came in

were about thirty in the band she travelled
with, but she was always kept in the rear and
could not tell very accurately their number nor
plenty to eat every day. The greatest hardship
she experienced was being compelled to ride
bareback day after oay through brush and over
q rough country. She says when the Mexicans
attacked the Indians at Saracachi the main
body had code on ahead and only about seven
or eight OF the band were present The stories
OF bad treatment by the bucks, she states. are
all false. The Indians seldom spoke to her dur
Ing her stay with them. The SO uaws would not
let the young men come near her. The acting
governor OF the state OF Sonora has sent a re.
