1t was long, nerve-racking wait,

intent on every movement below. but
finding little opportunity for action.
Occasionally they spoke, but generally
remained silently watchful. The In
dians kept up desultory fire, and be-
hind Its screen were evidently making
a change Of position, yet so stealthily
as to be hardly observed. They ex-
posed themselves freely enough beyond
pistol range, proof that they were full

confronting them, but closer in the

leap across narrow opening. This

wounded In the thigh, and unable to
drag himself to shelter. and soon a
sinewy red arm reached out from be-

This was withdrawn quickly as a
speeding bullet struck within an Inch

rocks were black with half-naked fig

rifles flung In air, and giving utterance
to fierce yells. 1t was Wild race,

YOUNG GIRLS BODY
 FOUND IN RIVER

The badly decomposed body of a girl, apparently about 14, believed by officials to be a vcitim of the Pueblo disaster, was found floating in the Arkansas river about 35 miles upstream Sunday afternoon by c. P. Farmer, former station agent at Roland. The body was in such condition that identi- fication was impossible. Dr. W. A. Lamb ordered the body buried in the sands of Beaver Dam island, near which it was discovered.
 pr. George D. Thompson, deputy coroner, viewed the body and obtained the best description of it possible. The description, according to Doctor Lamb, will be forwarded to Pueblo newspapers and may lead to Identification.
 The county bore the expense of the burial. including the coffin and wind ing sheet.
 The theory that the body might be that of a Pueblo victim gains strength from the fact that the flood was due 10 reach Little Rock Sunday afternoon. The back. from the shoulders to the waistline. was badly burned.
 Doctor Lamb believes the girl was asleep. as the body was practically void of clothing an dthat lightning fn hn escaping from the fire, Doctor Lamb said the girl could have bee caught in the swift torrent and washed away Gazette.
