bread. The night was cold, especially since "some of the boys had neither coat nor vest." The next morning, after they had traveled about seven miles, they found the thieve's campfire, which was still burning. It wasn't long before they caught up and charged after them with all the speed that the horses would go, but the two Indians left the cattle and jumped into the stream (Beaver River) and were able to get away. Henry's group found the thieve's clothes, an excellent rifle, a powder horn and bullet pouch, a fur cap, and a butcher h f e which they gave to the P i e who seemed to be very pleased. They had no prisoners but they returned with the cattle. Ironically, the two oxen proved to belong to Dan Ross who had rehsed to help them. They had traveled almost fifty miles by t h s time and were getting quite hungry. Their old Indian, who they had christened "Moses," shot a hare with his bow and arrows and Henry wrote: "A sweeter morsel I have never eaten."

On Tuesday, June 21, an old Indian shot Brother Walker's mare with an arrow, claiming that the horse had gotten into the Indians' field. Since the Indians had not fenced their field, Henry instructed them that they must guard their property. They brought a younger Indian to take the place of the older one and they gave him "a few stripes" as punishment.
