he said: IN never forget when ]
fought beside Gen. Crook in an Apache
battle. We had been after the red.
skins some days, and one noon we
sighted a band at Crazy Jim Gulch. Tho
General started US on 4 run. and the
way we sailed after the Apaches was a
caution. They stopped and set fire to
the prairie grass, hoping to head US of.
but we fooled them. When they
saw that they couldn't get away they
rounded up their ponies in circle and
stood in the center. We skirmished
around bit and then sailed in. Gen.
Crook has heart like an OK, and he
said: Boys. Just slay a few dozen OF
the warriors. Don't kill all. just enough
to let them know that we are the peo-
ple.' Twas a sweltering day and
there wasn't a spot on the sun. After
throwing off our coats and rolling up
our trousers we opened fire. In few
seconds the Apaches began to drop.
