George Harold keeps them interest
ed whenever he drops in by telling
them some Of his Interesting and
thrilling Indian stories.
One of the famous stories IS he re-
lates it tells NJ "a time whom he was a
scout under that we'll known fighter,
Col. Baylor of Ysleta. George says it
WAS in the early winter of 10 and was
colder than it is now. Col. Baylor and
himself with some ten or twelve others
started on the trail OF a couple of In
dams and trailed them for two days.
Every now and then the colonel would
say, well, another has joined the
band,'' and when they were nearly up
with the Indians on the second day the
colonel told them they would have to
fight about sixteen of the red skins,
and sure enough they did find them in
camp and numbered fifteen.
George thinks that in his younger
days Col. Baylor was one of the best
ever had.
"When we came up with that gang"
said George, 1--WE opened up the fight.
and, sir, do you know, as soon as we
fired the first shot every Indian strip
ped himself of all the clothing he had
on, as cold as it was. The reason they
did this Is that they believe if bullet

Bsylor's boys won the fight and ran
the Indians on down into Mexico.
George says this 10 cool weather, but
he has had to sleep out many q night
colder than it was last night. He says
to keep warm they would pull down a
lot of fur branches and sleep on them.
They are ss cold as Christmas when
one first lies down on them, but after
the heat of the body begins to act on
the needles they make the warmest
, kind of bed.
