tribe were massacrcd In the early days

mitted on pioneer miners, but a small
remnant survived. and members OF tins
band have been seen from time to
time by hunters. The Indian now under
observation was captured while he was
trying TO steal some meat. His language
is strange to the professors, but through
an Indian of another tribe many words
are being learned. The Indian pretends to
