has little band of IS or 40 bad In

they have gone so far as to interfere
with the members of their own tribe
who they know to be friendly with
the whites and government agents.
This was carried to such an extent
that w. 7. shelton. in charge Of the

which had no sooner been done than
others of his band opened fire on the
soldiers, which was returned with the
result that three Navajos were killed
and one wounded. None of the sol.

was shot dead from under him. The
