 THE HEART.

 Apache Indians.
Tombstone Prospsctor. 1


 The heartless, cruel policy of the government has resulted in anoth- CT crime committed by it's wards, the Apache Indians who have terrorized Southeastern Arizona for the past ten years. The band of Apaches who have been raiding along the border for several months past and who less than two weeks ago murdered George | Adams of this city, have added anoth- | CT to their long list of victims.
 Robert Hardie, a well-known lawyer | Of Los Angeles, and Dr. Francis Hay | nes, of Philadelphia, his brother-in- law, came to Cochise county two weeks ago, in search of health and pleasure. Dr. Haynes visited Tomb stone last year and was so infatuated with the climate that he visited his relative In Los Angeles and after be- ing there several months, induced him to come here for brief vaca- tion.
 The two men went to the Soldier Holes cattle ranch upon an invitation from MT. George Pridham. The latter suggested that they take trip to Fucker Canyon, one of the most at tractive spots in the Chiricahua noun tains. The suggestion was acted upon and MT. Pridham took them to the ranch house of Mike Gray, which place was formerly known as Camp Rucker.
 They had most enjoyable time and would have been there just one week to morrow had not their pleasure been cut short by the untimely taking otf Of Robert Hardie The two friends started of from the ranch house Sat urday morning on short trip up the canyon. On their return and when about two miles from the ranch house leisurely following the trail. each riding horse, volley was fired from the side of the narrow canyon, and Hardie, reeling in his saddle ut tered groan and fell to the ground, pierced through the heart by bullet
 Ills companion was thunderstruck and dlsmounting went to the side of his friend, saw at glance that he was dead. He made for his horse and
 was about to mount when another volley was fired, his horse staggered and plunged, and he then realized that he
 was afoot and without arms. He
 took the trail and ran as fast as his
 legs would carry him toward the ranch.
 The trail, which ran through a thick
 ct, soon opened into an open flat.
 When nearly across this clearing, his
 breath and strength deserted him,
 and he paused to look around. The
 first sight that met his eyes, was an
 Indian, not over 50 feet to his right
 with his rehe pointed directly at him The instant he saw him he made a superhuman effort to reach the thick. ct, just beyond, and he was none toe
 quick, for the crack of the rife, and the whistle of the bullet close to his head, told him that his life hung or
 thread. He reached the cover o the brush and after staggering and running for several rods, sank dowr from sheer exhaustion to meet the ! fate that he thought inevitable. He describes his suferings at thi. moment as being most terrible, ane
 death In any form would have been {
 welcome relief. But his time hat
 not come yet; just ahead of him no
 more than a rod away, stood the hors
 of his unfortunate companion whicl - had run off after the first discharg d of firearms and taken the trail fo s home. He rallied his vital force sufficiently to reach the animal an,
 throw himself into the saddle. an, e without looking back, reached tn U ranch house in the shortest possibl d time, where he told his story.
 MT. Gray with Mark Bannon an
 another party accompanied Dr. Hay [. nes back to the scene of the murde 'l as soon as the latter had recovere [. from the effects of his terrible exper ), ence. They found the body of DOG
 Hardie robbed of it's valuables, but d had not been mutilated. A cartridg = belt, pocket book, gold watch an C chain, and canteen of water, Ina B. been removed. The horse that Ina E. been shot from under Dr. Hayne J. was not dead, but it's throat was GU
 to put 1t out of misery.
 IS It was dark when the party reache y the scene of the murder, and II T. tracks could be distinguished. Tt t' body was brought into town yesterda re morning, and coroner's inque "a was held at 2 o'clock. The verdi, oi rendered will be found elsewhere. D. Dr. Haynes states that the India 'e who fired at him had his face painte in stripes, and his first thought K he saw his face was his close reser re blance to photographs he had seen ld Geronimo.
 at The body of this latest victim of u 10 Apache bullet was embalmed yeste h' day and was forwarded to his hon Id to-day. He leaves a wife and chi le to mourn his untimely taking of.
