How Cady Was Killed
The following particulars of the killing of
Cady is from the pen of Oscar Roberts: “He
was stopping alone on Deer creek ranch and
was found forty yards from the house with his
head all mashed, his body had decayed so that
it was impossible to tell how many shots he
might have gotten. He was naked from the
waist up. Only one bullet hole showed in his
pants, and that looked as though he had been
shot through both legs about the knees. He
was found by one of the Mexican guards prob-
ably a day and a half after he was killed, and
was buried by the Mexican and Wash Peters.
He was stripped and laid on his cook stove,
pieces of his flesh adhering to the stove testify-
ing to this fact, his ears and nose cut off and
head and breast scalded with hot water with
which he was preparing his lonely meal. Most
of the Indians arrived on foot but they stole
twelve head of horses from Deer creek, then
went through San Luis pass and secured about
twenty more horses at the Lang, another of
Head & Hearst’s ranches.
