That there should be repeated
alarms from the northeast, east and
south, where were the pine covered
Ecrests OF the Black Mesa and the Sierra
Ancha-where were the haunts of the
Tontoand the White Mountain Apaches
every one expected. There were
still among the foothills some parties
on miners and prospectors over whose
fate there was good reason for alarm.
The Santa Anita placers had been
promptly abandoned, as we have seen.
There was eager watch for danger sig
mails from the site of the old Retribu-
lion, down IN the Sandy valley to the
west, but from the site of the new post
20 the crossing of the Sandy above
Apache canyon the road turned and
twisted among the foothills of the
mountains for twenty-three miles and
there wasn't human habitation for
nearly forty. Then, deep in cleft Of
the range, stage station with corrals
and well and lunchroom and bar had
been built by some daring spirits,
eager TO accumulate money at what
ever risk. Beyond them for another
thirty miles the road lay through desc
lation Itself and reached the outskirts
OF even frontier civilization again
among the newly finished ranches in
the broad and sunny valley Of Willow
creek.
In view Of the sudden and stmulta-
heous swoop of the Apaches upon the
roads east Of Prescott everybody had
been warned. Even the mail riders
held back for mounted escorts. No
stage for Wickenberg and the south,
no blackboard for the Santa Anita had
left the territorial capital for three
days. No mail had been received at
RetributiOn for forty-eight hours. The
daring troopers who rode in with the
dispatches early that June morning
had come through the Sandy valley, as
they frankly admitted, with revolvers
IN hand, their hearts In their mouths
and the reins in their teeth. They
had passed no party eastward bound.
Who, then, could it be, who, striving
now to roach the post by way of the,
new road, should have fallen foul Of
the Apaches only a mile or so outP

sentry must be dreaming. Raymond,

district. The defendant claimed the
shooting was done in self-defense and
that Ferrell had drawn a knife and
was rushing toward Patterson when

son fired second time but that the
last shot failed to take effect. Pat

the shooting had borne an excellent
reputation. r. e. Mcfarland was
