HUNTING AN APACHE.
4 Leaf Taken From Army Life In west
ern Arizona.

ern Arizona.
The following Is a part Of letter
from q former Indianapolitan, the wife
Of an army officer who y stationed at
Fort Apache, Arizona, and 1t gives
some idea Of army life as It Is found in
those remote regions: 1.-THE captain
(her husband Is away on practice
march. He has been prepared to leave
on an hours notice since the middle
Of July. He only takes for his COM
pany 15 days rations, so he may not
be gone SO very long. An Apache In
dian named "Kid' murdered another
eight years ago or so. He was cap
tured, tried and sentenced to Yuma.
On the way to prison he killed the
sheriff and two assistants and escaped,
and they have been trying to catch
him ever since.
HE makes Mexico his headquarters,
but strs us up every little while by n
slaughtering somebody. He was re-
ported near here a few days ago; so
three troops Of cavalry are out, In de-
tachments, securing the country for
him The captain, under orders to
march east to Mount Ord for the an
nual encampment, was suddenly sent
west in order to establish a supply
camp for cavalry. kid Is probably
In Mexico by now. but he could lead
them a merry dance We're he in the
neighborhood
He could stand behind n rock or II
cactus within stones throw of the
whole regiment Of cavalry seeking him
and laugh their efforts to scorn, or he
could run his pony till it dropped,
seize another-the whole OF Arizona Is
his living stable-or, II no other was
convenient. he could, without troub-
ling himself In the least, walk seventy
five miles in twenty-four hours, which
is more than cavalry horse can do, 10
say nothing OF white man. These
Indians are wonderful.
I'VE know of one case where a man
and his wife made eighty miles In elev-
en- hours-walking-an started back
the next day. They scoop out sand in
places known but to themselves, find
wrter, put back the sand, and no white
man suspects its vicinity. They live
on the wild beans and certain roots
which they dig, and so do not have TO
carry food, cooking utensils or betr'ay
themselves by fire. A cavalry horse
has to carry the rider carbine, ammu.
milton, blankets. overcrnts, cantean,
cooking utensils and rations; then m.
other has to go along to carry forage
for the horse. Indian ponies live of
the country. so that looking for the
kid" with every Indian on the reser-
walton his friend and not yours. Is
worse than the proverblal needle In the
haystack. Every rock, bush and noun
tain is likewise in league with him"

ed from among the known friends Of

that he would not convict a white man
for killing negro. The attorney gen
eral will also move the court to re-
lieve Sheriff McCarver from duty dur
ing the progress of the case. This is
because OF the manner in which the
sheriff had summoned the jurymen.

treated the prisoners. The attorney
has learned that since the inc.arcara-
ton, both Smith and Richardson have
been taken surreptitiously by the sher-
in to the kerrville neighborhood on

DOES ELECTRICITY KILL MEN.
Proposed Attempt to Bring an Executed
Man to Life.


Man to Life.
Albany, N. Y, Nov. n.-Governor
Flower Is willing to allow experts to
make a test to ascertain whether Il
man killed in the electrical chair can
be resuscitated.
Ever since the adoption Of the cleo
trical execution act by the state. tho
Westinghouse people. whose dynamos
are used, have declared electricity was
not the cause OF death. but that death
was assured by the holding of an au-
topsy directly after the body had been
taken from the electrical chair. No
less an authority than Nicola Tesla,
the famous electrician. contended he
could bring back to life man killed
In an electrical chair. provided the at
tempt was made immediately after exc
cution. Mr.. George Westinghouse has
always asserted that electrical death
was shame and that a New York
commission headed by Elbridge T. Ger
ry had added the autopsy clause to
the law to make 1t certain that the man
was dead.
Within the hast few weeks the agita-
ton of the subject has become prom
inent and an appeal Is to be made to
the governor to allow the next man
condemned to be used as a subject to
be experimental on. The governor
says he will grant permission to do
this. II successful. the experiment will
bring to life new man who cannot
be executed, having once suffered the
penalty OF death. 1t will also prove
that the state executioners have been
the surgeons who held the autopsy,
rather than the state electrician.
