Yuma  Ferry  Massacre

We  are  indebted  to  Prof.  John  Spring,  of
this  city,  for  the  following  excerpt  of  early
pioneer  history  in  this  territory,  then  a part  of
the  state  of  Sonora,  Mexico.  It  is  in  relation  to
the  killing,  by  Indians,  of  a number  of  white
men  at  Yuma,  in  1850,  now  41  years  ago,  and
known  as  the  Yuma  Ferry  Massacre.
