Some years ago a band of Navahos crossed into Utah, killed a Mr. Whitemore who owned a large band of sheep, and, it being winter and the river frozen over at Lee's Ferry, the Indians sprinkled sand upon the ice and drove the sheep into this cave for secure hiding. Since that time it has been the rendezvous of a noted band of horse thieves. And surely no better place was ever chosen for the purpose. The secret place described in Gil Bias was an open highway to this out-of-the-way and inaccessibl...e spot.
