Remember be 12 long months before you have another opportunity to take in another of these events. out-of-to- of wn it'll being written San Juan County Navajo men were dug out of the wreck, they were taken by investigating officials to the mission near Bluff and the people there refused tp do anything with them as they were not "conseor&ted" or sometjying. Now I'm sure there is no civil law which would have required that they do anything. However, if the mission there is a Christian mission and if the people as is alleged refused to do anything, then how do they prove they are followers of Christ. Action is the best proof of any religion, not mere words. The next thing that happened is the bodies were taken west of Bluff near Butler Wash, and there a hole was ordered dug by and were County law officials. The bodies were dragged into covered by a piece of canvas. Orders were given that if nothing were done with the bodies by quitting time they were to have the dirt pushed in on them. Meanwhile, the relatives and families of the deoeased live only about 1C miles from the scene of the accident and to ny knowledge they were not notified of the aocident for more than it 12 hours who after it had not it took an If tie to letter is in the hope that the citizens will see to it that in the fuofficials ture the things that are discussed here will not happen again.

As it turned out there were some people Mr. Goulding, the Mormon Indian missionaries and others who had boxes made, gathered up the torn bodies, brought them to Binding and gave then a decent burial Instead of a burial fit only for a dog as the County Officials were doing.
