April 15th 1905 excited talk, and crowds of the people in the streets. The women ? as in many of one street? fights and riots, being the wildest. There were weird looking tall men? lace? legged to above the knees with elastic white skirts on and long hair projecting on all sides from under little skull caps finely embroidered in many b? colors and carry clubs like bludgeons. I thought they were a lot of fanatics and made trouble for our people who were not? visible anywhere. There seemed to be a labrinth of narrow streets. P+J. rode into the crowd to find out what the matter was. It was over a woman and the people were fighting among themselves. Everything seemed to be mixed up. We rode out of the town by a back way, and discovered that the rest of our party had left 4:05 ? W. through grain fields most of way and over the plain arriving 4:47 Sermeda, an inhabited town on the plains (pop. est. 500) tall town of M? (?) no stops at 5:15 we left the plains and ascended to the W. N. W. a narrow valley winding and very rough + rocky until on a table land we reached 5:45 Barbiska and uninhabitited ruined town class "A" proceeding ? ? in same direction we arrived at camp at Dar Kita 6:10
