 Last week, If Antonio Soto had been possessed of n gun, he would have brought in two or three Apache scsIps from the San Pedro. He was engaged in irrigating, and while standing stIll he saw three Apaches approach the Irrigat- ing ditch near him, to fill their cauteens. He was in a protected place Gad could see them very plainly without being sesn himself. They had government canteens which they filled with water, chatting in low tone all the while. and they took bIg drinks and refillei the cant-ens and silently left. They were ID good range to wing two at one sho. with fair probability Of getting the third before he could get into the brush. NIT. Soto was u1Grmed and did not even have a gun on the premises.
