and then left her without killing her. l saw one squaw cut open, with an unborn child lying by her side.

Major Anthony testilied:

There was one little child, probably three years old, just big enough to walk through the sand. The Indians had gone ahead, and this little child was belhind, following after them. The little fellow was perfeetly naked, travelling in the sand. I saw One man get off his horse at a distamce of about seventy-fiye yards and draw up his rifle and fire. He missed the child. Another man came up and said, 'Let me try the son of a b- I can hit him." He got down off his horse, knceled down, and fired at the little child, bat he missed him.

The Indians were not nble to make much resistance, as only a part of the were armed, the United States officers having re- quired them to give up their guns.
