gathering 80 Indian refugees on
the way.
stockmen Of the Zuni region
expressed belief A. J. Crockett,
formerly of Ell Paso, Tex, was in
one Of hts several sheep camps.
He is the only white man known
to be missing.
Among the parties forging
through deep drifts to the ma
rooned nut pickers are many who
are husbands and fathers Of the
victims. It is the Zuni custom
for the men to establish their
women and children in the nut
camp and then return to their
fields. The Navajos likewise take
their families along, but the men,
instead Of returning to their
camps, wait and return with the
nuts which they sell at trading
posts. The women remain on
these trading trips.
Very few provisions are ever
taken as the Indians depend on
an immediate nut harvest for
food. The first frost makes the
nuts harvestable and it is not
until after the frost that the ex-
peditions leave the valleys.
Nearly all the Zuni men had
returned to the fields and many
Of the Navajos were down with
the first fruits of their harvest
when the storm broke last Sat-
urday. The women, they said,
are protected from the wind only
by canvas wagon sheets. The
Navajos and Zunis are mud
builders and have very little use
for tents.

god Friday for the escape OF 600
Navajo and Zuni tribesmen from

and prayed for the safety Of as
many more still facing death by

The sun Thursday melted the
snow thrown on the lower coun-
try by a blizzard almost q week

tribesmen, marooned on their an
nual pinon nut-picking expedi-
ton, to return to the settlements.
Deep drifts in the high country,
however, still held the secret OF
the fate Of their brethern.
Nine persons, four OF them
children, are known to be dead.
Hungry, wet and suffering from
frozen toes, feet and hands. the
stragglers from the army Of nut
pickers wandered into the pue-
bios.
The little village Of Zuni was
crowded with Navajos last night.
Navajos who, ignoring tribal feel
ing, laid down with zunis and
Mescaleros to sleep again on
warm pueblo floors.
Three parties, composed Of In
dians but headed by white men,
were breaking trail to the high
mesas in desperate effort to
reach the marooned families be-
fore their supply Of pinion nuts
became exhausted. Five wagon
