BIgel8W'S Close Call.


 Basin, my companion, Colonel Bige- low, and myself. reached the cool spring which bubbles from the rocks just before the divide is reached from which the road commences to descend to Prescott, which is eight or nine miles away. Tie mountains here are covered with tall pine trees, which spring from the ground GOV cred with immense granite bould- CTS.
 Resting ourselves at the spring the Colonel pointed to trail lead ing up the side of the opposite mountain and said, "A good many years since-I think it was in 1865 :; and when 1 felt much younger than now-I came very near being taken in by the Indians up on the trail, where it passes oyer the divide. I'll tell you how 1t was.
 "I had been down to Prescott for a month or two, having a good time with a lot of the boys, until I had become broke and tired of so much hiiarity, and I made up my mind l would strike out for camp, which at that. time, was at the mouth of the Grand wash, which leads down into the Hassayampa, four or five miles below Copper Basin.
 II started out from Prescott and was coming up the trail on the oth- CT side of that ridge over there, all the time keeping my eyes open for Indians, for in those days person was always on the lookout for In dians and always had his gun ready for instant use.
 "As 1 came up the hill I noticed a movement of the boughs in the top of a tall pifon pine tree, which stood On the top of the ridge. Not being able from my position to dis cover what made the commotion in the pine tree top, I carefully made my way up the hill until I had good view of the tree, and what do you think I saw? Well, an Indian had skinned up the pine tree and, with a long light rib of a sughuara, was knocking off the pine cones, which hold the sweet pinon pine nuts.
 q felt very comfortable when 1 saw the Indian up that tree, for l imagined the result if he had caught me up the tree. I made up my mind that he was my Indian, for the Apaches had made things particu- larly hot for me on more than one occasion. Without any regard as to whether he would fall or soft spot or not, I took good aim and then didn't shoot"
 "NO9 what was the matter" I asked.
 "I'll tell you why" continued the colonel. Hearing a slight noise, 1 looked down the trail on the other side of the hill and there, not more than one hundred yards away, were coming seven or eight Indians in single file and all were armed. They had not seen me. I suddenly con- cluded I hadn't lost any Indian that day, and I lay flat down in the brush while they passed along the trail in full view of my hiding place and disappeared over the hill.
 "As I didn't care to call a band of the red fends upon me by sh ooting, I just crawled away from them with out letting the Indian up the tree know how near he had been to be- ing my meat nor how near my scalp had been hanging to the belt of one of his tribe. ."-Phenix Republican.
