mesquite is a small spreading tree that
bears seeds in pods.
These Indians are fond of carrion.
1t makes no difference to them whether
horse has died a natural death a week
or a month ago, they devour the flesh
greedily. The feet of the animal they
boil until those parts are tender enough
to bite. The Seris are among the very
dirtiest of savages. Their habits in all
respects are filthy. They seem to have
almost no amusements. though the chill
dren play with very rude dolls. Before
the whites came they used pieces of
shell for cutting instruments. l ought
not to forget to say that they are ac-
customed to catch deer by running and
surrounding the animals. No tradi-
tions worth mentioning appear to exist
among them. The most interesting
ornament l saw worn by any of them
was "a necklace of human hair adorned
with the rattles of rattlesnakes."

w. Van Reed, member of the firm,
and friend, George w. Barrell, We're
sitting in the office after business hours
engaged in game of checkers, when
masked man come in and presenting
his pistol demanded their money.
They thought at first that it was some
friend playing a joke upon them, but
realizing that the man was i'm earnest
Van Reed made a dash for the door and
escaped. Two shots We're fired after
him without taking effect. The pistol
was then turned toward Barrell, who
was compelled to give up his money.
He, however, only had few dollars in
his pocket. The robber then disap-
peared before any one could be sum-
moned to pursue him.
