brought into Douglas yesterday by
Bob Slaughter, Jr., ranch manager.
She had lived on native herbs IN
the hills for seven days after the
raid on the ranch. She was washing
in the ranch yard when the attack
occurred and the belief that she had
been murdered to prevent her giving
warning had been entertained by the
Slaughters.
Guadalupe told Slaughter that she
had heard the Indians riding UP the
canyon to raid the ranch and had
fled to the hills. She attempted to
make her way to Moctezurna but pe~
came lost. It is believed that only
her knowledge of native herbs Tor

who was foreman; the Campbell clan,
the Francis brothers, the Camerons,
Sandy Donohue and others.
Henry Aver came here to represent
his brother Ed and remained a num-
ber of years, as it was impossible for
the latter to stay in Arizona without
neglecting his other interests. About
the end Of 1888 they secured the
services of d. M. Riordan of Flagstaff
to conduct the Arizona business. This
connection continued for several years
until Mr.. Aver disposed of his hold
ings to Mr.. Riordan.
During the time that Mr.. Aver had
his interests in Flagstaff he visited
here several times year, usually
coming out in his private car, loading
it down on the return with Arizona
curios from the Petrified Forest,
Grand Canyon, Indian reservation and
other places. He was noted through
out the country for things outside Of
business, particularly in American
ethnology, photography and ornitho-
logy.
At that time he was collecting
books about the American Indian and
had the country searched for any
thing relating to this subject. The
same is true concerning books on
