TO break up into small bands. With
six men and four women I made for
the range of mountains near Hot
Springs, New Mexico. We passed
many cattle ranches, but had no trou-
BILE with the cowboys. We killed cat
tie to eat whenever we were in need
of food, but we frequently suffered
greatly for water. At one tine we
had no water for two days and nights
and our horses almost died from thirst.
We ranged in the mountains of New
Mexico for some time; then, think
ing that perhaps the troops had left
Mexico, we returned. On our return
through Old Mexico we attacked every
Mexican found, even If for no other
reason than to kill. We believed they
had asked the United States troops to
come to Mexico to fight us.
South Of Casa Grande, near a place
called by the Indians Gosoda, there
was road leading out from the town
There was much freighting carried on
by the Mexicans over this road
Where the road ran through a noun
tain pass we stayed in hiding, and
whenever Mexican freighters passed
we killed them, took what supplies
we wanted and destroyed the remand
er. We were reckless of our lives,
because we felt that every mans hand
was against us. If we returned to the
reservation we would be put in prison
and killed; If we stayed in Mex
leo they would continue to send SOL
diers to fight us; SO we gave no quar-
ter to any one and asked no favors
After some time we left Gosoda
and soon were reunited with our tribe
in the Sierra de Antunez mountains.
Diminishing Every Day.
Contrary to our expectations the
United States soldiers had not left
the mountains in Mexico, and were
soon trailing us and skirmishing with
us almost every day. Four or five
times they surprised our camp. One
time they surprised us about nine
o'clock in the morning. captured all
