Quirk, teacher who was with the Welher-ills at the time, paints a picture of injustice and brutal indifference which if true, will arouse the nii-ft intense indignation on the part of every one bo reads it. According; to Miss Quick, the trouble arose from the act of an Indian In stealing, us alleged. colt whiih belonged to little daughter of Wetherill. Finn, it is alleged, went to recover the animal whit had been nearly killed and the Indian showing light. Finn laid hint out with a blow on the head.

A short time later as Finn and Wetherill rode out with some cattle, eleven armed Xavajos out of an artoyo and commenced firing. Wetherill fell anil his body was brutally mutilated altet he wa dead, while Finn, oiit of ammunition, lied tor his life to the house with Indians shooting 'at him as lie rode, one Indian, it is told, tried to kill Mrs. Wetherill; the woman and her chihlreiv alte-' the arrest of Finn, were left. to face these murderous ravages with practically no protection, spending a terrible Night in h'nirlv expectation of being massacred by the Navajos.
