The appearance of the horse, riderless, alarmed the neigh- borhood, and trailing the tracks, a party found the body in a badly decomposed condition. His remains were brought to Prescott for burial, and now lie in the Masonic cemetery, of which Order he was a member. Until a decade ago his grave was marked with an ordinary head-board, but time has obliterated the plot where John Townsend is sleeping today. MEMORABLE INDIAN FIGHTS. During the carnival of blood that extended from 22 THE WHITE CONQ...UEST OF ARIZONA 1863 to 1873, over 600 white men were killed by the Indians in that zone lying north of the Gila and Salt Rivers. These fatalities were confined principally to "picking off" travelers in parties of from two to five. Organized bodies were very seldom molested, except- ing of course, the military operations in a general fight. Many ranchers fell in the field while at work or in going from home to a neighbor. Invariably the white victim was scalped and horribly mutilated other- wise.
