INDIANS SMITHS WITH THE PEDESTRIAN
FEWER.
prom the sam Francisco cironiele..Il

Il fFfBUl Eue 1zA = I3tHCteED A1AltuAIlI-1
i The wilds of Arizona, it appears
offer no freedom from the dcvasta
tion of the pedestrian fever. That
thoughfless child of nature, the Yuma
brave, overcome by the Irresistible
force of the spreading disease, has
abandoned the pastoral pleasures loi
the wicklup and the exciting unesr-
tainty of the tarantula bite, and de
clared himself victim. Seated be-
meath the cooling shades of the spread
ing cactus, inhaling the desert air, the
Yuma brave laughed with scorn over
the dispatch in his morning journal
stating that Edwards had walked an
other eighty miles ina twenty-fonr
hours, or that Mcintyre had added an
other half hundred miles to his score
in the same time Laughing over
these funny efforts of cffete civiliza-
ton, the brave resolved to show lhn-
maRity what six-day walker ought to
do. With recollection of many six
hundred mile tramp in six DAYS, and
with bright hopes of gold and
diamond belts, fire-water and tobacco
ad lib, six of the braves came to
this city recently, walking hundred
miles or so day on the voyage of.
practice. The gnileless sons of the
wilderness arrived here and unwisely
told of their achievements, in whole,
through their agent, before seeking an
engagement. They presented the rare
spectacle of men too adept in their
calling. No one has thus far signified
his willingness to compete with them.
The managers of the coming six days
walk in New York for the Ashley belt
refused to allow Indians to enter. The
approaching six days contest at the
Pavilion here having forty entries
there was no room for poor
Iso. One of them becoming disgnsted
with waiting, took a little tramp back
to Arizona. There he told his chief
Pascual such a pitiful tale of being
refused admission to the theaters, and
of unreasonable restaurant men who
wanted pay for meals, that the good
chief has himself come to the city to
order different. arrangement of af-
fairs. Five of the Indians and Pascual
are now holding council of war in
Oakland.

4 will save him. in which room is he "
/ .sIn the room above the suiopn,
answered the woman.
The parson hurried intothe bar room
and upstairs. All was excitement be
'Ilow, for by this time the flames had
NEARLY reached the room occupied by
lDe Castro. But in a few moments
4more the parson appeared, dragging
l-the sick man after him. DE Castro
was a larger maa than the parsen, who
was very slender, SO the brave parson
had a heavy load. But he escaped,
burned and bruised, but alive. The
10y and gratitude of Mrs. DE Castro
were great, and she was SO exhausted
with the excitement and anxiety that
she tainted and had to be carried to a
Tneighbor's house. DE Castro was I'M
conscious and the parson also was
nearly exhausted, but there he stood,
still calm, hut very pale.
Dlack Jack, who was our leader, went
up TO him and holding out his brawny
hand, said:
"Parson, let's be friends. Yon did
MORN any of us would do, although we
made fun of ye;; llet's shake. Us there
anything any of us can do fur yer
The parson took the miners grlmy
palm in his own white hand, and said
earnestly:
Yes, there is q great deal you can
do for me, or for yourselves; come up
to the church next Sunday"
Black Jack looked puzzled for a
few moments and then he answered:
'tAll right, parson, wen be thar
And we did 60, and such q sermon
i never heard before nor Since. 1T
was not such an eloquent one, but the
words were plain and simple and
every miner there understood the full
weight of them and went home q bet
ter man than when he came. 1t was
a temperance sermon and at the end
the parson asked all who would sign
the pledge to come forward. Black
Jack was the first to rise and he called
out in his loud voice:
"Come on boys, the parsons in the
right, let's sign the pledge"
And we all did sign it and from
that day forth led a different life.
De Castro recovered in short time
and was not very well pleased at first
at the turn things had taken, but he
yielded at last to the parsons en-
treaties and gave up barkeeping and
there isn't better man in town now,
unless it is the parson himself, than
De Castro. And that is how j hap
pened to sign the temperance pledge.

"Tell you how 1 happened to sign
the temperance pledgeg TO be sure j
will. Well, You see, it was the year
that gold was first found up in the
Gulch, and miners focked there, and
there was quite town in short time.
The town was full of gambling and
drinking houses. One night we were
all sitting in Joe Beckley's tavern,
clearinghouse and PLAYING cards, as we
did every night, when Grizzly Dan said:
"There's Iparson up in the other
end fthetown, boys; what d we think
of that?n
"A parsonln we all exclaimed stimuli
taneously, for aparson was a person
entirely strange TO that locality, where
the miners thought only of digging
gold one day, to spend it for liquor or
at the card table the next.
:" Yes" said Grizzly Dan, "a parsonl
and his family, and they've rented Jim
McMahon's house,
"Wall,n said Black Jack, as be drank
off glass of whisky, g We don't want
no parsons around here, and he'd bet
ter not come here preachin' or it might
be dangerous, ,eh lboys?n
We all agreed to battle the parson in
his work, for we were al bad set; so the
parson worked some time without suc-
cess but the good generally vim lin the
end, and the parson vast be victorions
sooner than we thought.
There was a Spaniard living in the
town, named DE Castro, who was a
and gambler, and many
were the dark deeds done in his bar
room. But one day De Castro was il,
50 III that he could not remain in his
bar room, but had to be carried up
stairs aud laid on rabed. About three
o'clock in the afternoon, somebody
heard screams in the neighborhood of
Mrs. DE eCastro's rum shop, and in al
moment we saw that the upper part of
bis house was in flames. 1t was Mrs
De Castro whom we had heard scream
ing, and now she was out ontthe street,
her hands and Iimploring us
% save her husband.
At WAS terrible scene--thc burning
lonse, the groans and cries forIhelp Of
he sick man, who was unable to wall,
md the woman below-ther anentail'

.hysical pain. We all looked from
me to another; no one was willing toll
isk his own life TO save that If y feI-lF
ow creature, for we we're q cowardlyIf
s well as p bad set.
