He put his hand up to his head, leaned back agaiust the rock 1 nd was dead. I got around on , the north side of the rock and drew my gun across it but I could not see . anything to shoot at. So I jumped up with'my gun in my hand and ran. While I was running" I counted eight "John, why don't you answer Bunk told me he thought and showed them the Indian tracks, and Lieutenant Clark said that his scouts made the tracks. About a month aco Clark was campinc at our. camp in the iGuadanipes and" T told him that I hail seen fresh signs of In dians, not over twenty-four hours old. Ho told me that his hcout." had been hunting game there. They camped there four days. The first day they went cut hunting deer in the Cajon Bonita canyon; the next day they went out exploring a cave up on the mountain; the day after that they went up on the Animas valley hunt ing antelope and killed five Some of the scouts laid around camp and others went where they wanted to, with nobody to look after-lhem. On the fourth day it rained and they stayed in camp. On the fifth day they nulled out about noon. After the shooting of these two men on the 12th the Indians took our three horses and saddles, two gun cartridge belts and two revolvers, and all ammunition and what money they had on their bodies. Lieutenant I knew he had with him, gone. Then I looked for where he was shot and found a bullet hole in the side of his head behind the ear. I picked up a new hat that he wore; it was cut in two; found that they had taken a red band off the hat. Then wc gathered him up and packed linn ou the horse. I examined John Bridger and found a gunshot wjund that had entered the forehead and come out at the back of the bead. John Bridger was born near Kansas City, Missouri; was about 24 or 25 years of age. These two bodies now at the morgue are those of John Bridger and N. II. Robinson.
