The door of the larger dugout, where the horses had been stabled, was also torn away.

Five dead horses lay near by, a part of the stage stock kept there.

I say the bodies, for the lower limbs of all three had been dismembered and cast in a heap near where the bodies of the horses lay.

We were on the scene of one of the brutal massacres of the savage Indian tribes.
