Barth and the Apaches.
MARVELLOUS ADVENTURES OF LEGISLATOR
AMONG INDIANS.

Hon. Sol Barth of st. John, Arizona Ter
ritorv, arrived in the city Monday. To n
journal reporter he gave the following par
ticulars of his exciting and romantic ad-
ventures with the Apache Indians on the
road ST. John is about fifty miles south of
the A. and B. Road. Sol Bath is noted
ranchman in that region, having stores,
focks and herds. He is a Territorial SEN
ator, and quite prominent in the political
affairs of the Territory. Once in three
months he comes to this city and buys a
stock of goods. Last week, accompanied
bv two men, he started over the long route
from st. John to civilization. When passing
through lonely canyon in the Zuni Noun
tains he was astonished to see band Of In
dians circling around a pyramid rock, yell
ing and firing their guns. Upon top Of the
rock was a Mexican mountaineer with his
wife and children. No sooner did Sol
take in the situation than he charged
the Indians. putting the squad, eighteen
in number to fight, relieving the Mexican
and his family from certain death. He
found the little children crying for water,
but otherwise the family were uninjured Es-
corting the family to a place Of safety and
leaving one of his men to repel any attack the
Indians might make, Mr.. Barth, with one as
sistant, pushed on toward the city. They had
gone but few miles when they were confront
ed by band of Indians, but, their action
seeming peaceful, Barth thought them friend
ly Navajos, and allowed them to come within
speaking distance of the buggy in which he
and his companion were riding. when the
Indians suddenly opened fire, mortally
wounding his companion. The horse became
| frightened and overturned the buggy. Mr..
Barth seized bis Winchester, and protected
| BY the buggy-bed he drove off his assailants,
&c I'D, ,r,v
| the pony and putting his wounded companion
| in the buggy he drove on. When near the
| Mexican town of Ell Rita he heard firing, and
on approaching the town the Indians return
ed and attacked him. The people Of the town
turned out and soon the Indians were driven
of. At FL Rita the wounded man died.

The statements made by the returning
members of the Cornell crew, who arrived
in New York Saturday, shed some new light
upon the charge against Shinkel. 1t is
shown that the "fainting' took place when
the Cornell crew was four lengths in advance,
and was rowing easily, with every prospect
of winning the race. The physician who ex-
amined him after the race declared there was
nothing wrong with him. He had suspicious
relations with betting and sporting men in
Vienna, and his bearing after the race vas
that of man who had a good deal to conceal.
The whole affair is unfortunate, and not the
least unfortunate part of it is that it should
seem necessary to make such charges against
a student Of the University. But it must be
remembered, in considering the question
seriously, that young men who believe them
selves to have grossly wronged by an associ-
ate are not to be blamed for making the

The Man with the Flail.

1t carried the beholder back to thirty years
ago, when the thrashing machine was heard
only at rare interv ais, and the honest farmer
spreads his golden stocks on the clean barn
door and failed away with such tempered
blows that not kernel was broken. The
man who had it sat down on one of the
benches in the West Circus Park. The
rare sight of such an article halted every Pc
destrian, and the man had to keep explaining
over and over:
well, I'll have some beans to shell this
iall, and kinder thought 'twould be easier
to fail 'em out. The hardware man told me
he had to send to Vermont for it
Pretty soon along came n grey y-headed AL
ierman, and when he saw that fail he looked
ten years younger all at once.
Il handled that for ten years." he said
he picked it up and spit on his hands. Seems
like old times to get hold Of this hickory
again."
He stepped out one side to give the crowd
an exhibition on the grass, At the second
blow the fail end hesitated in mid-air, wob-
bled about and finally came down with
whack on the patriots head. making him see
more stars than a winters night ever brought
out. He dropped the weapon with the re-
mark that he was already ten minutes late in
keeping an appointment, and he was rubbing
his skull as far down the street as he could
be seen. The next man to try it was one
who got off passing car under the idea that
a dog fight was in progress.
"A fail? Ha. Ha. Why, haven't seen a
fail since was married" and he chuckled
as he reached for it. presume have failed
. thousand bushels of wheat in my time. You
boys stand back there"
The boys retreated and the man lifted the
fail on high and patted the grass in vigorous
manner.
Yes, my stint used to be twenty bushels a
day." he continued, land though do say it
myself /"
Something happened. He dropped the
| fail, seized his jaw, and danced off as If he
had springs under him, and although dozen
| voices asked him what hit him he refused to
| tell.
| BY and by a third man came sailing along,
and when he saw the fail he remarked that
his father had used one like it nearly all his
| life, and was called the smartest failer in
| New Hampshire.
Cant you use it?" inquired one Of the
crowd.
| ''Why. of course. If you boys want to see
how our fathers got their wheat to mill I'll
give YOU little exhibition. Here, bub, hold
my hat"
| He buttoned his coat moistened his hands,
and began work. The first blow nearly broke
a mans knee; the second nearly cracked
boys elbow, and at the third the failer
grabbed the top of his head and sat down with
subdued look in the corners of his mouth.
| "Well, l guess I'll be jogging along" said
| the owner of the fail rs he rose up. "1t's all
| in getting the knk of it. A feller who makes
twists and wobbles a special duty won't get
