Glanton and Dr. A. L. Lincoln were asleep,
each in one of the houses. A Mexican woman
saw the chief of the Yumas enter the house in
which the doctor lay and hit him on the head
with a stone, whereupon he rose to his feet, but
was immediately killed with a club. Another
woman related the death of Glanton in the
same manner. The others who remained in the
house were killed, the manner not known; but
none of them had an opportunity of killing any
of the Indians. The party also learned from the
Mexicans that the six who crossed the river for
the Sonorians, were also killed by the Yumas.
The bodies of five of them were brought over
to the Mexican side and burned, as were also
the bodies of Dr. Lincoln, Glanton and the other
five murdered at the houses. Dr. Lincoln’s dog
and two other dogs were tied to his body, and
that of Glanton, and burned alive with them.
A large quantity of meat was thrown into the
fire at the same time. The houses were burned
down, and the bodies of the other three Ameri-
cans, named John A. Johnson, Wm. Pewit and
John Dorsey consumed with them.
