Tho Desperate and the Indians.

"It takes n special kind of courage
to fight Indians" said Major Edward
Ragsdale, of Topeka, recently.
'They're pretty sure to surprise you
and they're slippery as quicksilver
and as hard to catch. Their yelling
and whooping alone are enough TO
stampede men not trained to their
style of figh ing Sometimes they
fight under cover and you catch n
fire from an enemy you can't get sight
of; and again, where there hasn't
been one to be seen, they seem all to
spring out of the ground at once, and
charge You as though nothing could
stand their onset. Then there's the
knowledge that if they catch you alive,
you'll be skinned alive or burned or
your life tortured out of you by slow
degrees in thousand other ways they
can think up to make you suffer
There's many stout-hearted desper-
ado, terror IN white settlements and
not afraid to have pistol or shotgun

with man of his own color, who
doesn't count for row Of pins in an
Indian fight
"Take Sam Brown, of Nevada, for n
case in point. He wasn't afraid of

Sam hailed Joe McMurtrie, who was

'Oh, Mac Pull your horse little

"McMurtrie's answer to that friendly
invitation was to bend down to his
horses neck, set in the spurs and get
out OF that canyon ahead OF Sam and
back to Bodie as fast as hoofs could
carry him. He knew Sam Brown, and
that If that worthy once got alongside
him he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him
off his horse SO as to get better mount

to the settlement he didn't go round
