Sure enough, when the sun was about
three hours high tho captains watchful
eyes saw a moving spot on the prairio
away TO the southwark. A shifting
brown mass that rose on the ridges and
descended again into the valleys, IKE a
boat at sea coming IN with the roll Of
tho tide, constantly growing larger and
coming nearer.
The field glass soon resolved the mass
into mounted Indians on the gallop, fly
ing over the prairie almost with tho
speed of the wind. A few moro miles
and the war paint could be seen upon
their faces as they were upturned TO tho
Iun, their long, black hair streaming in
the wind, and the feathers Of their head
dresses tossing from side to side. Some
of them wore cruel Spanish spurs with
which they goaded the little beasts be-
meath them, and all came on pellmell,
thirsty for paieface blood and traders

Outriders from the camp on the Ar
kansas met the re-enforcements two or
three miles out on the prairie, and eyi-
IDENTIFY recounted TO them the situation
Of the foe. A council Of war was held,
and in less than another hour the most
demoniacal whoops and yells broke upon
the ears Of the listeners, and the Indians
started toward the corral.
1t is we'll known that for q long time
back IN the history Of the west the Wild
Indians have been as well armed as any
white men who encountered them. These
bands were no exception. They carried
exactly the same kind Of rifles and many
of them had reyolyers. The only differ
ence between the arms of the men IN
Jose Valdez corral and thos0 Of the In
dams outside was that the Indians car
ried bows and arrows in addition 70
their other weapons. They men in the
corral were well supplied with aulmuni-
ten, but it was not to be wasted, and
Captain Jose cautioned them to make
every shot count.
Ii would seem 10 one unfamiliar with
Indian tactics that the corral had greatly
the advantage, but it must DO remem-
bered that the instant the advancing line
was within rife shot every Indian threw
himself on the side Of his pony, hanging
there out Of sight with a bullet proof
breastwork between him and his foe.
The Indians fred under the horses neoks
and whenever painted face or leather
fringed leg was visible sure shot from

over into the grass. A little nearer and
a little nearer drew the death dealing
coil as it circled around and around The
Indians were frenzied by tho sight OF
their own dead, who had lain near the
wagons since early morning, bat they
could not make break in tho barricsde
through which to rush upon the handfdl
of men inside. That was what they ex-
pected TO do and that was what the men
in the corral feared they would do.
Whenever an Indian fell another took
his place, and IL possible he was earned
away. There was considerable force
in reserve, about two hundred Indians
