lying against her in the bottom of
the wagon. In attempting to arouse

hands, and to her great terror and
sorrow, discovered that Lucero's
head was split wide open from brow

ter and the other woman, she laid the
body in the wagon and drove to Ro-
meroville, where she obtained help.
The other members of the party have
wholly recovered.
Neither the team nor wagon was
injured, and the horses had stopped
