Towards sunset about twenty hay-wagons arrived and camped around the house and all the teamsters came in to supper--a very, very rough set.

There were one or two Overland stage drivers there, also, and half a dozen vagabonds and stragglers; consequently the house was well crowded.
We walked out, after supper, and visited a small Indian camp in the vicinity.

The Indians were in a great hurry about something, and were packing up and getting away as fast as they could.

In their broken English they said, "By'm-by, heap water!" and by the help of signs made us understand that in their opinion a flood was coming.

The weather was perfectly clear, and this was not the rainy season.
