On January 31, 1876, the United States Indian Agent reported to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that the boundaries as denned by the Executive Order of 1874 crossed the Colorado River twice and cut off a large tract of land on the east side of the River which was being settled by non-Indians for unlawful and improper purposes. The Agent requested that an Executive Order be obtained making the Colorado River the boundary line. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs and the Secretary of the Interior approved the recommendation that the boundary be redefined.20 5. Thereafter, on May 15, 1876, an Executive Order issued which redefined the boundaries of the Reservation and which contained the following description of the western boundary: ". . . thence southwesterly in a straight line to the top of Riverside Mountain, California; thence in a direct line toward the place of beginning to the 18U.
