Here IS an illustration:
Il was IN Clifton 1T the time Of
Geronimo's last outbreak. Some
months before two young men, jim
Montyompry and Tom WEIGH. went
about thirty miles above Clifton and
started little stock ranch on Blue
River. . tributary OF the Rio San
Francisco, which is the northern arm
of the Upper Giia. They were isolat
ed from every one, a dozen miles or so
from the nearest neighbor.
"When the Apaches broke out IN
May, 1885. word could not be sent to
warn them.
sOne sunny afternoon Welch was
sitting in the door of his cabin. his
dog Dandy, a faithful little brute
looking more like q cub blackbear
than anything else, began tj show
signs OF uneasiness. Welch reached
for his rife, thinking something was
wrong, but had hardly grasped it
when he felt sharp pain in his leg,
heard a rifle crack, and saw the smoke
rise from behind a log He rose to
his feet, tottered, and fell. A dozen
Indians jumped from their hiding
places and ran screaming toward him.
They thought he was killed or fatally
wounded. He Immediately sprang up
and shot at them The Apaches scat

Thinking if he could find his part

q half mile from the cabin to search
for some pack burros, he left his cabin,
and with his rifle kept the Apaches at

and the Indians as well armed as him

Montgomery, who was unarmed,
had been killed by the same gang.
Welch kept on, and at nightfall hid
in some brush. The Indians gave up
the pursuit, and after three days
" elch, whose wound began to trouble
him very much, succeeded in reaching
Alma, little settlement about twenty
miles distant
The wound, which was q flesh one,

but the strain had been SO great on
his nervous system that for months
afterwards he used to go through the
