NOT HIS INDIAN.
A Soldiers Close Brush with q Band OF
UOstilcn.


One hot summer day after climbing
the old government" road which winds
in and out of tho gulches, but always
up from Copper basin, my companion,
Col. Bigclow, and myself, writes cor
respondent of the Arizona Republican,
reached the cool spring which bubbles
from tho rocks just before the divide is
reached from which the road COM
mences to descend to Prescott, which is
eight or nine miles away. The noun
tains here are covered with tall pine
trees which spring from the ground
covered with immense granite bowl
dcrs
Resting ourselves at the spring the
colonel pointed to a trail leading up the
side of the opposite mountain, and said:
"a good many years sincc-I think it
was in 1865 and when felt much young
er than now-I came very near being
taken in by the Indians up on the trail
where it passes over the divide. Ill tell
you how it was.
II had been down to Prescott for n
month or two, having good time with
lot Of the boys until I had become
tired of so much hilarity, and made up
my mind to strike out for camp, which
at that time was ut the mouth of the
Grand wash, which leads down into the
Hassayampa, four or five miles below
Copper basin.

coming up the trail on the other 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 Indians and always had
his gun ready for instant use.
'As l came up the hill I noticed a
movement of the boughs in the top of n
tall pinon pine tree. Not being able
from my position 20 discover the COM
motion in the pine tree-top, 1 carefully
made ny way up the hill until l had n
good view of the tree, and, what do you
think 1 saw? Well, an Indian had
Skinned up the pine tree, and with long,
light rib of saghuara, was knocking

pinon pine nuts.
II felt very comfortable when I saw
the Indian up that tree, for imagined

tree. made up Iay mind that he was

as to whether he would fall on soft

asked.
"Ill tell you why" continued the
colonel Hearing 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. suddenly concluded

lay fiat down in the brush while they
passed along the trail in full view of my
hiding place and disappeared over the
hill.
Gas didn't care to call band of the
rcd ticnds upon me by shooting, just
crawled away from them without let

near he had been to being my meat nor
how near my scalp had been hanging tc
the belt of one of his tribe"

A Courteous judge.

At the Old Bailey, it was customary
to sentence the whole of the prisoners
found guilty Mt the sessions at one time.
1t fell to Baron Grahams lot to perform
this duty, and he accordingly went over
the list with due solemnity, but omitted
one person brought up for sentence
Mr.. John Jones. The judge was on the
point of finishing the sentences, when
the officer reminded his lordship Of this
omission. Whereupon, the judge said,
gravcly: "Oh! am sure beg John
Jones pardon" and then sentenced him
to transportation for life.

they are called, being now in favor
with those who are intrusted with the

these are: why does an apple fall to

can the action of the electric tcle-

present of five pounds sterling in
books" why do most leaves turn

art and science, parable and allegory,
murder and homicide, stimulation and

Circus Managers Skip.

The circus which has boon showing
here for the past fow days came near
having a sudden end yesterday. The
managers contracted a pile OF debts and
then skipped town. No sooner had they
gone than sheriff swooped down upon
the show and levied on everything there.
At this juncture Mossrs. Scatter and
Bachtcll stepped into the breach an as
sumed command. They gave perfor-
nance last night and the tent was we'll
filled. The performance was an excel
lent one and If business continues good
while the show stays here the managers
will be able to get square. They expect
TO remain until Wednesday.

American Cities In Canaan.

According to the New York Sun To

it's business streets look like those of one
of our towns and because the people are

are most like ours and most In sympa-

A NEW BOOK COUPON.

THE TIMES inaugurated sometime
ago book coupon scheme by which
books could be obtained at large dis
count on presentation OF coupons. The
plan was great success and was con-
tinued until the latter part of August.
The school season is about to begin
and THE TIMES wants to help the young
folks out all it can. So the coupon
plan will be tried on school books.
There is list price on school publ
cation fixed by various regulations,
and that price is very low, but THE
TINES has carefully figured over the
matter and has made arrangements to
save the boys and girls something.
This time The TINES coupon is 10 per
cent. coupon, each one good on any pur-
chase of school books up to ono dollar.
AS each family in Roanoke will have to
buy about five dollars worth of books
between now and the day the schools
open on the 14th of September, five
coupons will reduce the cost of the
books to $3.50. The arrangement has
been made with Thompson & Co., the
Campbell avenue booksellers, as before
In order that each family taking TIE
TIMES may have full supply of
coupons, the coupon will be published
in the upper right-hand corner Of TIE
TIMES for one week.

IN THE INTEREST OF TRUTH.

THE result briefly summed up, Is that all the
delegates from the First, ana all except one from
the Second for Thomas us the Democratic
nominee for the house Of delegates. It ie not
known with certainty how tho Third ward stands
Mr.. Thomas friends claim half OF the delegates
from that ward for him.
The above is from the Evening World
of yesterday. II Mr.. Thomas friends
make any such claim, he should pray to
be spared from his friends. In the
interest of exact truth THE TIMES de-
sires to state that the Third ward dele
gates are solid for j. Allen Watts.

AN ANNIVERSARY EDITION.

THE TINES has been reading the
signs. 1t has pored over huge array
of facts. 1t has studied the situation
And it has arrived at unanimous YER
dict, backed by all the evidence, that
Roanoke and Southwest Virginia are at
the threshold, we'll within the doorway,
of long period of active, solid develop
ment and marked prosperity.
There will be an aggregate of enor-
nous sums of money sent in for invest
ment. 1t will be more evenly distri-
buted than in previous years, and for
that we may all be thankful. 1t will be
more conservative. Instead of starting
more new towns it will be content to
enter towns and cities which have al
ready demonstrated their financial
solidity.
Instead of ninc-tenths going into
land the investor will buy up second
and third payment trust notes at profit
able discounts. He will purchase stocks
and bonds in safe enterprises from over
loaded holders and divide the profits.
He will build moro railroad tracks. cars
and locomotives. New industries will
start into life. The older ones which
have proven profitable will increase and
extend.
Vast sums will &c into building
houses and business blocks, into estab-
fishing lines Of trade, into developing
the field of municipal improvements.
The city and section will grow from the
i'll proportions and ungainliness of
youth ard now developments into SYM
metry and an even fullness.
Seeing these things clearly, THE TIMES
is about to undertake an important
task-a duty. One year ago the 10th Of
September TIE TIMES appeared for the
first time as an eight-page daily paper.
1t has had year Of phenomenal prog
ress, increase and prosperity. In cele-
bration of its anniversary THE TINES
will print on Monday, September 20, an
ANNIVERSARY EDITION of $4,000 copies,
which will be in every respect the most
notable edition over published in the
State of Virginia-and THE TINES al
ways does what it promises it will.
This edition will contain a history of
The TIMES, write-up of Roanoke and
of Southwest Virginia. 1t will set forth
in graphic manner tho forces which
have made the city and the section the
marvels of DECADE. 1t will contain
probably twcnty-four pages of dcscrip-
tlon and illustration and may rim to
thirty-two.
