 Thomas at 7 a. m. yesterday. It con-
 sisted of Major J. w. Wham, paymaster U. s. A., Paymaster Clerk w. J. Gibbon |
 nine privates' and two drivers. The
 party rode in an ambulance and an es-
 cort wagon, each drawn by six mules. A l stop was made at Cedar Springs, 9 miles
 from Fort Grant, to exchange mules for
 a relay that had been sent out from
 Grant the day before. At point about
 teen from Fort Thomas, the road winds
 1C he do of hi ho top of which it runs between high wall
 of rock on the east side and a low ledge
 on the west. The wagons had started
 down this hill, the ambulance ahead and
 the wagon about 90 yards behind, when just ahead at bend in the road, and just between the wall and ledge of rocks, a large rock weighing several tons was discovered in the middle of the road. It had apparently fallen from among the rocks on the side, as is often the case. The wagons had no passage | way round it and so stopped while the men started forward, guns in hand, to l remove it. Many of the party had reached the rock when shot was fired l from the brow of the wall of rock on the | east of the road which was immediately followed by a volley of shots from the | same place. This wall rose about fifty feet almost perpendicular, about the 1 road. After the robbers had gone.it was discovered that they had built semi-circular breast work of stone easily on the brow of this hill, concealing it by brush so that neither 1t nor the men firing from behind it could be seen from below
 The paymaster's party immediately got behind the ledge of rocks on the op- posite side of the road and the firing be- came general from both sides This ledge of rocks afforded good protection from the robbers besides the breast works in front of it being only about 75 feet from them, though much below the robbers and commanded the ap- proach to the wagons. This, however. had been foreseen by the robbers, who had placed several men higher up the hill and to the right and behind the ledge, who began cross fire on the ex- posed part.
