Pg 13 – “Roving bands of Indians always stopped at the Elias Adams ranch house for food when on their annual migrations which commenced with springtime and continued until late autumn. One day they shot and slaughtered a fat ox for food that belonged to Elias Adams, who approached the Indian camp and asked the Ute Chief, “Why kill Adams ox?” The Chief apologized, saying they were very hungry, but sorry, and did not know the beef belonged to their friend.”
