A BRAVE GAMBLER.
His Desperate and Unequal Fight WI
Band of ADaChes.

We were sitting one night at a
freighter's camp fire, around which
were drawn half a score or more of the
freighters, who, with their OUTFITS, were
In camp for the night. 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 ran Wilson's turn, who said:
Talk about sand in man! I tell
you it takes sand in man to try and
stand off single-handed forty or fifty
Apaches when he knows just how tho
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 teuderfoots from
the east scorn so much and know 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, were coming from Silver City
to Clifton. They got to York's ranch,
which is on the ella 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 a few days, but Knox
who had fought the Apaches dozens
of 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
t. l.
Handicapped hill, and feeling assured
there were more Of them, and that it
was fight to the death, he filled his
pocket with cartridges, kissed his little
sleeping girl baby and his wife for the
last time and, with goodby' to them,
he jumped from the wagon and 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 aud was furiously
driven away the Apaches, who now
came In sight, fred 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 dashed the team

horses fell dead from wounds received
from the Indians first volley.
GA party, after little delay, was
made up and returned to the place
where the fight took place, and there
they found Knox's body, and the Indi-
ans, contrary to their usual custom, had
not mutilated it in the least, but had
taken clean pocket handkerchief from
Knox's pocket and carefully spread 1t
over his face, and had fastened it there
by putting small stone on each cor
ner of it, to hold 1t in it's 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 Win
chester and one of the raiding Indians
afterward said that their party num-
bered forty-two and That Knox had
killed seven Of them ARIZONA Re-

with variations. Here the seditious liter
ature is placed on the back of pictures of
the saints and the Pope, who occupy a
greater part of the attention of the peas
antry than the picture of their monarch.
In both countries, in addition to the
picture plan, the use of almanacs for the
purposes of disseminating socialistic
ideas has been adopted. The objection
able matter is so cleverly hidden among
the mass of advertisements and prognos-
tications that its presence can be discov-
cred only by the closest inspection of

RECEIVER APPOINTED.

An Insurance Company Doing Busi-
rcss Under False Colors.
TAcoMA (Wash.), Oct. 30.-Secretary of
State Allen, State Insurance Commits
sioner, to-day filed a complaint against the
West Coast Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, charging that the company, in
its reports to the Secretary of State, made
fraudulent statements OF its assets, liabil-
tiles and conditions; that the capital stock
had been impaired; that the company
had returned to its stockholders part of
the capital by fraudulent means; and
that the company has not an unimpaired
capital stock of $4,000. Upon the above
showing the court appointed w. A. Rice
temporary Receiver for the company,
placing his bond at $4,000.
Notwithstanding the concern ran be-
hind about $4,000 the first year, the di-
rectors declared dividends regularly
every three months. The institution has
more contested claims hanging over it at
the present time than it has paid out in
legitimate way since its organization in
1888. Criminal proceedings will be insti-
tuted against the officers at once, it is

SAMOAN ISLANDS.
a LITTLE FRICTION IN GOVERN

The President of the Municipal Couu-

Resigns His Office.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1ox.

~
SAN Francisco, Oct. 3O-Advices re-
ceived by the Associated Press under
date of Apia, Samoa, October 18th, state
that Baron Senft Won Pilsach, President
of the Municipal Council and adviser to
King Malietoa, has resigned. The reason
he assigns is that certain white residents
Of Samoa have been writing letters to the
King about German currency and other
matters, and that the King wrote direct
to them in reply. Pilsach claimed that no
one should either write or speak to King
Malietoa before first securing the Presi-
dents permission, thereby actually as
suming the position of dictator of the
islands.
Before he resigned a memorial to the
three Powers had been prepared bv the
Consuls of the three treaty Powers, and
viii be forwarded. The memorial peti-
uons the three Governments for the re-
call OF Baron Pllsach on account of in
experience and reckless behavior in of
hce." The memorial is also signed bv
robert Louis Stevenson and by nearly
all the residents of Apia, with the excep-
ton of some of the Germans. Pisach

draw his resignation, but the King told

and everybody is forbidden to assist them
in any way. The American Consul has
been instructed by his Government to in
form Mataafa that the Government was
annoyed at the latter's attitude, and that
he should at once break up the party at
Malie. There are only about 300 in the
party, but 1t is stated that fully half the
population are against the Mulinun Gov
ernment, chiefly because of its inaction.
The attitude of the natives in the Sa-
moan group has changed toward the
whites in the last few months, much of
the former friendliness having died out.
This some of the prominent chiefs ascribe
to the impression which has got abroad
that the whites We're responsible for all the
trouble in Samoa, and they express the
opinion that If another war broke out the
whites IN some Of the OUTLYING stations
would not be as safe as forrnerlv

LONDON, Oct. O.-Dispatches received
from Hiogo, Japan, say that the earth
quake of Wednesday last destroyed the
towns Of Nagoya, Gifu and Ogaki. All
the public buildings and most of the
smaller structures were thrown down. A
fire in Nagoya completed the work of
destruction. 1t is estimated that the total
number of persons who lost their lives
by the disaster exceed 5000. Many ves-
sells are reported wrecked in the vicinity
OF Hiogo, and during the seismic dis
turbance the waters of the lakes in the
surrounding country were violently agi-
tated. few portions of the Nippon
Islands escaped the earthquake, and
Kobe suffered comparatively little dam
age. The number of Europeans killed is
small. The various roads are blockaded
by immense heaps of debris, traffic on
the different railroads is suspended, and
telegraphic lines are entirely prostrated
Full details cannot be learned for several

Difficulties to be Encountered in Build
ing tho Coast Branch.
SAN Francisco, Oct. S0.-Referrinq To
the prospect of having the gap closed in
the Coast Division, between Santa Mar
garita and Elwood, one of the engineers
employed on this4 survey said to-day:
The people down there may expect to
have the gap closed within few months
after track-laying commences, but they
don't know what a job the company will
have to undertake. Neither do they
imagine that it will take about three
years to build the road, which is some
thing over 100 miles in length, but it will,
and 1t will take great deal OF energy 10
complete the road even in that time.
The whole trouble will be in tunnelinc.
1t Will be necessary TO build three tun-
nels through mountains of solid rock.
and 1t has been these tunnels that has
kept the company from completing that
gap before. There is no doubt but that
the company can make that branch pay.
Much of grading has been done already,
but when they run into a wall of solid
rock 1t will take a year or two to get
across to the other side. So those Santa
Barbara people need not be in too big
hurry about their road. The San Rafael
ana Santa Gnez ranges in Santa Barbara
County are the mountains that will have
to be tunneled.n
