Stevens sent a Mexican in the mountains with some burrows after vegetables, and the rebels caught him and pretty nearly beat him to death, so you can see how conditions are in the mountains. September 29: 1 have just retumed from the stockyards. Some cattle have just come in from the colonies, and 1 went down to see if any of our cattle were there. There were about twenty-five head there, and we are looking for another shipment any day. 1 certainly hate to see ali the cattle shipped out of the country for it will be a hard rnatter to get them back again, hut it seems the only thing to do under the present conditions. We are still living in the tents but expect to move tomorrow. Frank is up in town arranging for a house now. It has been storming off and on ali day and it feels quite cold and raw. We should have got into a house before now, but we have been so unsettled as to what to do. But, 1 suppose we wiil stay i El Paso, for n the present at least, and as many of us get work in and about here. While wages are a little lower here, n perhaps, than i some of the camps in Arizona and New Mexico, yet provisions are cheaper here and we are closer home. 1 hate to see so many people go back north, as they wiil have a hard time getting back, and 1 am afraid many of them will never return. 1 te11 you, Broughton, 1 never did appreciate mother so much as 1 have during this trouble, for she has patiently borne it all without a word of complaint and this shows strength of character which everybody does not possess. 1 was afraid it would go quite hard with her, for you know how she has always worked for the interest of us boys. It seems as though those who lost the least gnimble the most. 1 never did appreciate the Gospel so much before; there is a comfort it bnngs which sorrows cannot
