attempted  to  cross.  When 
near  the  middle  of  the  stream  the  mules  were 
lifted  from  their  feet  and  their  floundering,  to- 
gether with  the  rapid  current  upset  the  wagon, 
precipitating  both  men  into  the  angry  water. 
The  mules  freed  themselves  from  the  wagon 
and  reached  the  bank.

Geo.  Rickets  attempted  to  save  some  ar- 
ticles in  the  wagon  and  in  doing  so  became  en- 
tangled in  the  bushes  and  brush  with  which 
the  river  is  lined,  he  was  drawn  beneath  the 
water  by  the  force  of  the  current  and  drowned. 
The  body  was  carried  down  the  strpam  about 
one  and  one-half  miles  and  lodged  against  a 
fence  on  Anthony’s  ranch.  After  a severe 
struggle  Tom  Moore  reached  the  bank  in  safety. 
The  wagon  has  not  yet  been  found  and  has 
probably  been  broken  to  pieces.

Indian  Depredations

Carl  Ehrman  and  Peter  Rigg  Added  to  the 
Long  List  of  Killed

In  addition  to  the  killing  of  Hal  Williams, 
reported  as  having  occurred  near  Hachita  in 
last  week’s  Enterprise,  we  have  again  to 
chronicle  the  sad  and  tragic  taking  off  of  other 
pioneer  citizens  of  this  county,  namely,  Carl 
Ehrman  and  Peter  Rigg,  who  met  their  fate  in 
the  big  Hatchet  mountains  on  the  day  following 
the  killing  of  Hal  Williams.
