A FRONTIER HERO.
The FOrlorn Fight Felix Knox Made Against
the Apaches.

The FOrlorn Fight Felix Knox Made Against
the Apaches.
We were sitting one night at . freighters'
camp fire, around which were drawn half a
score or more freighters, who, with their out
fits, were in camp for the night, writes a
frontiersman in the Arizona Republican.
Stories Of old times, when the Indians were bad,
and of the bravery Of the white pioneers, had
gone around the circle until it came to old
man Wilson's turn, who said:
"Talk about sand in man! tell you it takes
sand In a man to try and stand off single
handed forty or fifty Apaches, when he knows
just how the scrap will end, and that the end
will be his own death. But that was just the
kind of sand that was in Felix Knox when he
was killed by the Apaches. You see Knox was
an all-around gambler, such as the tenderfoot
from the east scorns SO much and knows SO
little about, but he had heart in him bigger
than any tenderfoot's head. Well, it was in the
spring OF 1882. Knox, with his wife and baby
and Mexican driver, was coming from Silver
City to Clifton. They got to Forks ranch,
which is on the Gila river about thirty miles
from Clifton, all right, but were told there that
signs of Apaches had been seen and that they
had better go in camp there for few days. but
times and didn't know what fear was-said he
wanted to make Clifton that day.
They drove on and were about two miles
from York's ranch when Knox saw an Indian
come from behind low. round-topped hill,
and feeling assured there were more Of them,
and that it was fight to the death, he filed his
pockets with cartridges kissed his little sleeping
girl baby and his wife for the last time, and,
with goodbye to them, he jumped from the
wagon and quickly turned the team and told
the Mexican driver to whip them back to the
ranch and that he would stand the Apaches off.
As the wagon turned and was furiously driven
away the Apaches, who now came in sight,
fired volley, but killed no one. Then Knox
faced his foes and pumped the lead from his
Winchester into them. The Indians gradually
circled around Knox and the end came The
Mexican driver lashed his tenn back to the
ranch, where both Of the horses fell dead from
wounds received from the Indians first volley.
"A party, after q little delay, was made up
and returned to the place where the fight took
place, and there they found Knox's body. and
the Indians, contrary to the usual custom, had
not mutilated it in the least, but had taken a
clean pocket handkerchief from Knox's pocket
and carefully spread it over his face and had
fastened it there by putting a small stone on
each corner of it to hold it in its place and
keep the sun from the dead mans face. That
was their tribute to the sand in Knox SEVENTY
empty shells were found that had been emptied
from Knox's Winchester and one of the raiding
Indians afterward said their party numbered
forty-two and that Knox had killed seven OF
them"
