stepped upon q cactus and had his shoe
invaded BY a cactus thorn, can imagine
what exquisite agony these thorns infict-
ed. The men were bare TO the waist
They had on white cotton trousers TO
their knees and were harefooted. and
over their heads were things that looked
like empty meal bags. Holes were cut for
their eyes, which IN the glare Of the
MOONLIGHT shone fercely with the Wild
fire OF fanaticisn.
In addition 10 this costume some OF
the men wore what might be called q
body piece. and this must have added
greatly 10 their fortunes. for IL was made
of sheets of tin through which nails had
been driven. leaving ragged surface on
one side. and this side was put next the
bare skin and the whole fixed tightly
about the body. SO that with every mo-
ton the jagged edges tore and cruelty
lacerated the flesh. In addition TO the
cactus branches many of the men were
armed also with wooden fails. with
which they thrashed themselves and each
other with a vigor that showed that they
meant what they were about.

were toiiing along toward a little hill.
