70 the men who are eagerly seeking
her assailants.
The girl vas last seen in Santa Fe
on Tuesday morning. 1t is believed
/ that she was assaulted some time on
! Tuesday afternoon and that since that
! ttme she has been crawling ana crawl
ing over the rough mountain side
seeking help The Officers were able
/ to follow her trail by blood for three
quarters of a mile up the canyon this
morning.
Three arrests had been made up to
tonight, one of them 4 Mexican, the
! other two Americans Neither of the
three men have been Identified up TO
this time They are being closely
guarded. The feeling here is running
! high and there is some reason TO fear
violence should the assailant be posi-
| lively identified.
The Finding of the Victims.
When Mrs. Matias Martinez awoke
this morning and looked out the win
dow of her house near the old mill in
Sonta Fe canyon she saw some one
lying in the small arrova through
which tiny stream rams. She sent
her son down to see who it was. The
boy returned Immediately to tell his
mother that 1t was a woman and that
she was wounded. Mrs. Martinez i'm
mediately dispatched her son to Santa
Fe to inform the officers She went
To do what she could The lad went at
once to the marshal here ana told him
that young woman had been found
near his home dying and showing evil
dence Of violence. The marshal i'm
mediately got buggy and left. She
was lifted into the buggy and brought
quickly To 81. Nincent's hospital where
Dr. Sloan was called to attend her.
Mayor Jose T.. Sena, Capt. Fred For
noff of the mounted police. and Sher-
iff Challes CloSson left almost imme-
diateiy for the scene.

When she was carried into the hos
pitai Miss Montgomery appeared TO be
dying. Her condition was horrible
Blood was clotted over the back Of
her gown from the wound in her neck
Her clothes We're torn and cut as Were
her limbs Stimulants were admins
tered and she Immediately revived,
When coffee was offered her she
reached for II eagerly as her strength
would permit Her eyes and checks
We're sunken ana the marks of OK
treme hunger We're apparent. After
slipping coffee and some whisky she
tainted, but was revived again when
brief examination was made.
DR. Sloan probed for the bullet
which he believes is of small caiber,
probably from a 22-rifle. He Says il
has lodged in the front part of the
head outside the skull, and that in
passing around the base Of the brain
may have caused paralysis since one
eye is closed and the girl seems un-
able to use her lips After she had
rested for q short time and her in
juries dressed, Il number of questions
were asked her. She was asked If she
had been assaulted and shooh her
head in assent Could she describe
her assallant she nodded Nea again
Would she do 50. She could not talk.
She made an effort to write. but the
pencil fell from her hand and she |
tainted again. Up to this evening she /
has not been in n condition to talk or
to write. 1t is now believed that she |
viii recover and that by tomorrow she |
may be able to talk
Awful Experience III the Hills.

description. She was seen on the
street in Santa Fc TueSday morning.
She had not been seen since, and IL
was presumed that she had left town
BY the few people who know her. She
had found room at the home of w !
II. Kennedy, on hontezuma avenue,
and had been at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs, John CONWAY on Monday even !
ing. The ConWays left town Tuesday
morning and ii was believed that sh-
had gone with them. Therefore her
absence created no comment.
Friday morning, however, Mr.. Con
way returned and told the people that
she had not gone With them on their
trip. Inquiry was made by her aC-
quaintances but the principal of the
high school here had been making an
effort 10 find a place for the young
