I believe it will be found that they were both, or that when the villages along the Colorado Chiquito were abandoned part of the inhabitants went to the mesas of Tusayan and others migrated farther up the river to the Zuñi villages.
When his mind at length came to inquire into the reason of it, he saw that it must have been, as Kampfer had said, unpremeditated. The old draughtsman had been platting in the Elias Denny survey, and Georgia's likeness, striking though it was, was formed by nothing more than the meanders of Chiquito River.
Well I found the little pie-eater in Denver O K but so gaunt he wont hardly throw a shadow and what can you expect of scalawags like Miller and Doble who don't know how to treat a horse. Well I run Chiquito off right under their noses and we had a little gun play and made my getaway and I reckon I will stay a spell and work here.
Now let us see what Capitan Martin wrote to his friend, Luis Chiquito: "DEAR CHOY, Come a-running if you can, for there's something doing at the fiesta. Just imagine, Capitan Joaquin is almost broke. Capitan Tiago has doubled up on him three times and won at the first turn of the cards each time, so that Capitan Manuel, the owner of the house, is growing smaller every minute from sheer joy.
And a couple of hours afterward one Percival Saint Clair, an ex-sheep-herder of the Rancho Chiquito, might have been seen, with a hundred and nine dollars wages and blood-money in his pocket, riding south on another horse belonging to said ranch." The red-faced man paused and listened. The whistle of a coming freight-train sounded far away among the low hills.
His bronco was fast, willing, and very intelligent, but the little range pony had not been designed to show its heels to a near-thoroughbred. "Are you ready?" Doble asked of the two men in the saddles. His brother said, "Let 'er go!" Sanders nodded. The revolver barked. Chiquito was off like a flash of light, found its stride instantly.
At last he and Dave Sanders would settle accounts. One of them would be carried out of the valley feet first. Sanders leaped to the ground at the same instant that he pulled Chiquito up. The horse was between him and his enemy. The eyes of the men crossed in a long, level look. "Where's Joyce Crawford?" asked Dave. "That yore business?" Doble added to his retort the insult unmentionable.
"But Chiquito never went back on me yet. These fellows may be overplayin' their hand, don't you reckon?" "Not a chanct. That tumblebug Miller is one fishy proposition, and his sidekick Doble say, he's the kind of bird that shoots you in the stomach while he's shakin' hands with you. They're about as warm-hearted as a loan shark when he's turnin' on the screws and about as impulsive.
Between the two streams, above the Colorado Chiquito, in some places the rocks are broken and shelving for 600 Or 700 feet; then there is a sloping terrace, which can be climbed only by finding some way up a gulch; then another terrace, and back, still another cliff. The summit of the cliff is 3,000 feet above the river, as our barometers attest.
But twenty years back he was in his full vigor and able to maintain his own against all odds. Whether or not it is true we cannot say, but certain it is that he is credited with causing the death of Juan Chiquito. An Indian called "Chickey" actually did the deed, lying in ambush for his victim.
