The Indians were Yutas, and belonged to a band of that tribe that had been hunting to the east of the Pecos, and who had no doubt resolved upon this plundering expedition before returning to their home, near the heads of the Del Norte. The shepherds had seen them distinctly, and knew the Yuta paint. That the Indians were Yutas was probable enough.
The rumour said that a band of "Indios bravos," whether Apache, Yuta, or Comanche, was not stated, had made their appearance near the settlement, in full war-paint and costume! This of course denoted hostile intentions, and an attack might be expected in some part of the settlement.
There he may find them, in scattered bands, leagued with their ancient enemies the whites, or alone, trapping, hunting, fighting the Yuta or Rapaho, the Crow or Cheyenne, the Navajo and the Apache. I stood gazing upon the group with feelings of profound interest, upon their features and their picturesque habiliments.
