Our destination was the Burro mountains some sixty or seventy miles from Deming and we had our choice either to walk or purchase a conveyance and ride, but as walking was out of the question, we had decided to buy a wagon and team and camping outfit if it could be pro- cured in Deming. I think it quite probable we would have never left Deming alive but one of our party who had lived in New Mexico several years happened to espy an old acquain- tance in the crowd by the name of Apache George to whom he had extended some kind- ness at some previous time.
