AN OLD INDIAN CARETTA.
Ancient Vehicle Has Been in Use
Over Two Hundred Years.

The ancient carre'a, now in the
exhibit room of the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, has had an
eventful history, as wagons 90. 1t
was the property of Alfonso, a
Teseuue Indian 50 years old. Alfonso
said it had belonged to his greaC
grandfather and that it had been
exhibited at local fiesta years
before as the Oldest caIreta in
the neighborhood. From these facts

age to which Indians live, as a
mated 10 be much over two hundred
years old. 1t was purchased by Capt.
New,on Crittendon, noted Indian
explorer, antiquarian and ethno' 0.
gist, now living in Pomona, Cal.
On Novembel 90, 1896, this old
time cant left Redlands, Cal on its
own wheels and reached Los An.
geles December Is, "a distance OF
over sixty miles. Captain Crittenden
accompanied it, camping on the way
and walked most OF the distance,
watching with anxious eyes to see
that it did not fall to pieces. like
the "deaCon's wonderful one1horse
shay from its great age. But il
survived the journey in good shape
and was hauled to the chamber

hundred years more.
The wheels are made of cross sec
tlons of sycamore tree. thirty-eight
inches in diameter and about six
inches thick at the outer rim. The
hubs are of one piece with the body
of the wheels and are roughly eX-
tended out to length of eighteen
inches Wooden pins through the axle
secure the clumsy wheels. The body
is made OF cottonwood. excepting
the tongue which is a twisted ana
gnarled stick of mesquite four feet
long. 1t was driven by oxen hitched
to the horns with thongs of rawhide.
Its counterpart may be seen in the
country districts of Mexico today,
drawn in a similar manner as this
was when new, two hundred years
ago.
