FIGHTING THE APACHES.
How an Arizona Rancher Won Genera
Crooks Friendship.

How an Arizona Rancher Won General
Crooks Friendship.
James Payne, of Arizona, can tell
more about the bloodthirsty Apache In
dams in minute than any other man.
He has been at Washington telling the
committee on Indian affairs that the
people of Arizona don't want the In
dams removed to the Fort Sill Reserva-
ton in Indian Territory. Mr.. Payne
says if the Indians once get back to the
west side of the great river they WON'T
rest until they get few scalps The
Apaches have raided Mr.. Payne's ranch
three times and stolen any amount of
stock.
''You can't depend upon Them" said
the rancher. Just as soon as they get
back Geronimo will lead them to the
San Carlos Agency and then the trouble
will begin. At their feasts they drink
q grain whisky which makes them crazy.
Then they start out on plundering ex-
petitions. If they are removed it will
be against the wishes of the people Of
Arizona and New Mexico
With Mr.. Payne is j. B. Shepard. He
is the champion Indian story-teller of
the West. Speaking of General Crook.
he said: '1'll never forget when /
fought beside General Crook in
an Apache battle. We had been
after the redskins some DAYS,
and one noon we sighted band at Crazy
Jim's Gulch. The General started US on
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 off, but we fooled them
When they saw that they couldn't get
away they rounded up their ponies in a
circle and stood in the center. We skir-
mished around bit and then sailed in.
General Crook has a heart like an OK,
and he said: Boys, just slay few dozen
OF the warriors, Don't kill all, just
enough to let them know that we are
the people, Twas 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 a few Sec
>onds the Apaches began to drop Taking
advantage OF an open place led a crowd
right into the midst of the Indians
Suddenly my pistol was hurled from nv

sword. Being pretty handy with the
big knife 1 more than held my own. I
had just laid out my tenth man when I
felt touch on the elbow. The air was
so filled with Indian hair you could not
see the sun and asked:
"'Who is there?'
General Crook was the reply.
H:What is it, sir3'

General. There is nothing I admire so
much as good ighter-you know that,

to be, the excavation was carried slop-
ingly down to his head. In short, after
three days and three nights of incessant
toll, the head of Billiard was reached.

The instant that this took place, it was
notified to those above by a cry, and
the deafening shouts that were i'm
mediately raised showed what an as
semblage had gathered around the place
to learn the issue of the case. The de-
liverance took place exactly a quarter
OF an hour before eleven o'clock in the
morning of the 30th. When raised once
more to the daylight, every precaution
was taken to prevent any bad effects
from change so sudden. He was car
rled to neighboring house. with his
body and head we'll wrapped up, and
there he was laid in an apartment from
which the light was, in a great meas
ure, excluded. After some spoon
fuls OF light broth and little wine
had been administered to him, he fell
Immediately asleep, never having tasted
that blessing during his confinement.
before sleeping he had spoken in such
a way as to show that his mind had re-
covered its tone. His pulse was weak,
but quick, beating one hundred and
twenty-six times in a minute; his skin
was cold, his thirst burning, and his
tongue stuck almost to the roof of his
mouth. While confined he had eaten a
portion Of the leather front Of his cap,
and he had even, he said endeayored to
grind with his teeth a stone that lay
before his mouth.
Etienne Billiard soon recovered. His
imprisonment had not been so protract-
ed as to render the vital heat difficult of
restoration. His body, however, though
not mangled or bruised, as 1T might have
been expected to be, retained for long
time feeling of dull pain from the
pressure that had been exerted upon it.

What is the difference in the dura-

THAT is a difficult question. Cheap

RAT-CATCHING SNAKES.

Merchants.
Whatever virtues creeping thing
may have usually go the way that his
creeping self is destined to travel. A
snake is doubtless repulsive to the in.
stincts of every one, but there are some
who profess to endure their repugnance
for the sake of a rapacious appetite
which snakes are said to have for rats.
Cases of this kind can be cited on
Front row in this city, the proprietors
of two houses in particular, having a
snake in each of their cellars which no
one is permitted to modest or harm in
any way.
The larger of the two is nearly twelve
feet long, and notwithstanding it is do
Gle to approach, and apparently other
wise 6omesticated, its bite is poisonous,
and on divers occasions, gheI il q bad
humor, it has struck at unsuspecting
employees
1t is said to have a den in the bluff
where IL goes during wet and rainy
seasons, remaining gntil the appear
ance of dry weather. This snake is
more particularly pet with the pro-
prietors and those who are not com
peeled to go about it.
Those who are compelled from neces-
sity to frequent his haunts have a we'll
defined aversion to his presence, and
would doubtless make short work of him

but thus far it has either had no effect
or else the rat-eater attends to his own
business.
The snake is let black, as sleek as
a ribbon and has white rim around
its neck, breaking into bow shaped
mark on its throat. 1t is said to exer-
else wonderful ingunity in seeking out
rodents, which, when caught, are swol-
lowed at one gulp.
1t is fact, however, that q snake
will keep premises clear of rats: and,
while the majority of people would
yield to almost any pest rather than to
bear with the knowledge that one was
about few, and very few indeed,
prefer the reptile.-Memphis Appeal.

An Alarming Prospect

The desperate efforts being made to
acquit the election scoundrels points
to another prospect which is as dis
gushing to all reputable citizens as it
is ruinous to the Democratic party.
This is the likelihood that the same
~atrocious gang of ballot box suffers
may be nominated by the County
Committee to conduct the elections
under the Ballot Reform % law. This
is certainly an idea to make people
stand aghast, yet, if these men are ac-
quilted, it is more than probable.
But, you may say, that would not
matter. The Republican side will
then have equal representation.
Pshaw, thou art simplel
There are just as great rascals on
the Republican side, and there are
not a few of the leaders of
that party who are always will
ing to deal and dicker with
low Democrats. These fellows
will sell the election officers OF their
districts as they have a dozen times
before in return for some office or a
little patronage for themselves.
The only hope for the people is to
punish the ~rascals.
