I saw them kill my mother and two little brothers by beating their brains out with stones. They killed flve. They tied my father and tortured him mostdreadfully. He begged them to spare him, but they only tortured him more. When they were tired of torturing him one of them split his skull with an ax. An Indian squaw, wif e of ,one of four f riendly Apache sheep herders who worked with us, saved my life by holding me behind her and begging them to spare me. When all the Mexicans were dead except me the Indians left. The squaw who arrived with the boy says there were ninetythree warriors in the attacking party. They called themselves Chihuahuas, and said they rere going straight to San Carlos Agency to kill off the whites and get more Indiana to join them.
