fat which now bears his name.
The family had hardly finished
scanty meal when three or four
Mohave-Apaches came up and
asked for food. Oatman had been
storm bound for some time, and
was going on less than half ra-
tiOns; but he acceded to their re-
quest, and gave the savages
something to eat. Subsequently
they amporariIy retired, but met
others Of their tribe, and in a few
moments the whole party re-
/ turned and at a signal knocked
down OatHan and his son, Lo-
renzo. a fourteen-year old boy,
with clubs. Datman was killed
outright, and Lorenzo, who gave
a groan, was thrown over ledge
10 feet high. Mrs. Oatman was
then despatched, as was also a
babe in her arms. Olive and
Mary, aged respectively 16 and
II, ware taken into captivity,
where they remained for several
years. Lorenzo, strange as it
may seen, recovered his senses,
and in the morning reviewed the
bloody scene, and then set out
for the nearest camp. He finally
reached the Colorado river. Olive
was recovered from the Mohaves
in 1856, and Mary, | believe, died
among them. A little grave near
the spot of the massacre perpet
yates its memory. Near Oatman
Flat are the noted Painted Rocks
with their uninterpreted hierOg-
lyphics. Here is a mass of boul-
ders standing alone on a graveIly
pin, thrown irreouiarly up to
he ght Of at)aast Is or so feet and
60 ering nearlyan acre of ground.
Their isolated presence and the
iudeii5le figures SD rudely and
grotesquely eng.aveD upon them
are wrapped ia ny e,vI55F.
The road from Oatman Flat to
StanWiX is as novel q stretch Of
q miles as can be found in the
Territory. Leaving the cheese
box shaped valley made historic
by the circumstances above re-
hearsed, tourist soon arrives at
the rim Of a volcanic mesa, and
a small team has a desperate pull
to reach the top with an empty
stage. In other words, the tray-
eler is compelled to walk. No
rheumatism or fOOt-SOre business
can be played at this juncture.
The biped must foot 1t or the
quardruped don't move. From
the top Of this mesa is presented |
dreary view indeed. For many
miles this mesa is scattered with |
ScOria, and the rattling Of the
wheels over the volcanic stones
sounds ike running over so many |
horse shoes. At a distance of
120 miles may be seen the Castle
Dome mountains, and they are
never lost sight Of again until the
traveller has reached q point SO
10 les from the Colorado river Dn
tha California side. OaJman Flat
is about I20 miles east from Yuma F..

and the railroad graders had a
pretty nice time Of it. There is
good deal of nice land along
here, although the most Of it is
unsUsceptibIe mesa. There are
several excellent cattle ranches
and small farms. Prior to the
completion of the railroad through
this part of the country there were
several good stations, the prin-
cipai ones being Teamster's Camp,
So miles from Yuma. Mohawk, 66
miles; Antelope Peak, so miles;
Filibuster, # miles; and Mission
Camp, 81 miles.
Ten miles further and ella City
is reached More or less placer
and hydraulic (attempteO mining
has been carried on here, and
pieces of machinery brought here
Is or Is years ago may now be
seen lying along the road. From
ella City to Yuma it is % miles.
The mining districts between
these points are OPENING up in
several directions, and what little
business Yuma may loose in its
transformation from a railway
terminus to a wayside town will
be more than made up by the
mining interests in its immediate
neighbOrhood. 3. c. T.

Ex-Confederate soldier, owns a
splendid piece of land in this sec
ton, and so does an old Exile

0IsteeI rails lave been laid during
the past fopr months, and. fof
most of this distance, regular
passenger and freight trains are
being run daily each way.
This is also the country of the
"buckboard" and the "jerkey" :"
the one an instrument of tor
ture without springs, and the
other a relic Of the InquisitiOn,
and all springs or jerks. Between
the end of the railroad and Tue

are now running firSt-class four
horse coaches, and when the road
is completed to Maricopa the pro-
prietors of the Prescott and Ph@-
nix route will have to do the same
thing by their patrons, as travel
will be large and will warrant it.
But, until Of late, the blackboard
has done service in Northern

Yuma and Tucson. 1t is about a

ago, between GiIa Bend and Mar

marvellous and exquisite series OF
transformations reflected through
the phenomenon of mirage. The
Sierra de las Eotrell.S mountain
had entirely disappeared, and in
its place was a walled city upon
the margin of a beautiful lake.
All at once the city disappeared;
a castelIated mountain rose right
up in the middle of the lake and
turned into a palace, which, after
balancing Itself in the air, toppled
over and sunk into the bosom of
the tranquil waters. Then arose
a multiplicity Of grotesque eleva-
tious which rapidly assumed the
characterofGliry i,lets, with lake
lets within themselves; then,
owing 10 the unequal densitles
and seuactHg powers of the adj
jaceat strata Of air, the islets be-

vived, however, to vanish on per-

HASTINGS Union, March 10.

hastings Union, March ~.
We had nice little abduction case in
this vicinity last week, of which very little is
generally known. The circumstances of the
case are these: Mrs. Clara Pierce and her
husband were divorced some time ago. Mr..
Pierce has since lived at Montevideo with a
little 11-year-old daughter named Flora,
Mrs. Pierce is reported to be engaged in not
very reputable business at Cleveland, Ohio.
Last Wednesday she went to Montevideo for
the purpose of abducting little Flora, and by
some means managed to get her on the
early morning train, Smith Jones conductor,
and started for Hastings. Late in the after
noon the father missed his daughter, and on
inquiry soon learned tho trouble. He i'm
mediately telegraphed to Messrs. Chamber
lain & Dodge, of this city, to have the woman
arrested, but the dispatch did not reach them
until after the evening train down had gone.
Our young lawyers Immediately got out a
writ of -habeas corpus and telegraphed to
Minneiska to stop the woman. An answer
came back that the train did not stop at that
place. The Winona officers were then told
to be on the qui Uiue. The policemen
boarded the train, but the woman told such
q plausible story, and got so much sympathy
from the passengers, that the officers would
not take her from the car. Portage City
was next tried, and then Milwaukee,. A big
muss was created at both places, but without
stopping them. Messrs. Chamberlain d
Dodge sat up all night telegraphing, and
Chamberlain took the first train down-sup-
posing of course she would be stopped at
Portage or Milwaukee returned Sun
day morning. Thus ends the first chapter.
