AN EXPERIMENT IN T4IEyeRY.
The Greasers Did Not Calculate on tn,
Plumber Being So Heavy.

At the time Geronimo was massa-
creing people for amusement and stir
ring things up generally along the bor-
der of old Mexico and the states was
with party of American engineers who
were constructing branch of the Mex
lean Central railroad not far from the
border and directly in old Geronimo's
territory.
Down there the Indians and the poor
sr class Of Mexicans are inveterate
thieves and viii steal anything they
can manage to carry away without be
ing detected. They will steal thing
totally regardless of whether it is of any
earthly use to them or not
Our party had missed quantity Of
tools, supplies of railroad iron. tier
etc., and could not imagine how thu
thieves could utilize the material unless
they were building little railroad fol
their own amusement. Night after
night we placed guards to watch for
them, but it seemed they always knew
when the guards We're ON the lookout
and refused to attempt foray on those
nights. So we concluded that the cul
prits were members of the camp and
knew all that was going on. After ar
irving at that conclusion we made it
practice to collect all portable property
into convenient groups and guard it
carefully.
In the outfit we had large steam
pile driver, heavy piece Of machinery
difficult to transport even under the
most favorable ciroumstanoes-whie
we did notdeem necessary TO guard. never
for a moment thinking the thieves
would attempt to make away with it.
But, as subsequent events showed, wa
had moderated Mexican acquisitive-
ness
1t may be we'll to explain that pile
driver is sort Of derrick varying in
height from so to 70 feet 1t weighs
several tons and is held in an upri ght
position by strong guy topes. This pile
driver was located in advance of the
camps and probably a quarter Of mile
from the nearest.
One bright moonlight night the camp
was aroused by an unearthly noise and
heavy crash, the disturbance seeming
to come from the direction Of our pile
driver. We Immediately surmised some
devilment knowing, as we did, that the
''greasers" were none too friendly to
clos gringos, " as they called the Ameri-
cans. -Four of us hastily arose, buckled
on our revolvers, and with winchester
apiece moved on the enemy. When we
reached knoll a few rods from and
overlooking the location of the disturb
ance, we "limbered up' our artillery
and cautiously peered over the KNOLL
expecting to see band of Indians or
"greasers" doing some sort Of malicious
work and were fully determined to on
nounce our disapproval with hot
broadside from the winchesters. What
we did see when we viewed the scene
Of the oonmotion surprised us more
than would have the whistling Of few
bullets around our heads.
The Mexicans had attempted to steal
our pile driver and had brought team
Of burros to drag it away. They of
course placed the team in the wrong
position, cut the guy ropes and the pile
driver fell squarely across the backs of
the poor little burros, smashing them as
fiat as tortillos (pancakes).
After thas our pile drivers were safe
in Mexico. Chicago Record.

difficult ascent, as French had the
elevator at the top of the tower. The
stricken man could be plainly seen to
be struggling by the thousands of
people that by this time crowded the

was that he would wiggle off

French grabbed the friendly hand and
bit at it savagely. Mcclellan had on a
heavy rubber glove, but despite that
the skin underneath was broken by

and French was placed in the elevator,
tied in tightly. and lowered to the
ambulance attendants in waiting.

French snapped viciously at those near

reason. 1t is given out that he viii be
