The soldiers had felt the sting Of
Kelly's words. True, no one of their
number had been ordered to make
that perilous ride, though all had
heard Mrs. Downey's cries and means
and appeals for aid, and some one
might have volunteered and been al
lowed to go, but not until Leon was
well on his way. True, had Downey,
been there he would not have permit

way was Mrs Downey, and very fond
of the boys, Randall and Leon, but the
least pain or illness FRUSTRATED her, and
serious pain frightened her to the
verge of distraction. All this Leon was
too young to appreciate. He believed
her suffering terribly and in dire need,
as did all who heard her, perhaps, but
Kelly's girls and her own Mexican
maid of all work-and so, just as he
thought Randy would have done had
he been there, he determined to go

CHAPTER VI.

It was some twenty-three miles, as
has been explained, in general north
westerly, direction, by q crooked road,
from the new post Of Fort Retribution,
around the base of the Soco,ro, past
Ration Springs eight miles out) to the
fords of the Sandy, which lay some Eve
miles north Of the upper entrance to
Apache canyon. It was about ten
miles nearly due west from the flag
staff at the new post to Signal Butte.
Apache canyon, from gate to gate, was
rift of nearly eleven miles, and the
course Of the Sandy was about south
east by south. So here was a rude
scalene triangle with a ten-mile base,
a sixteen-mile adjacent side and q
twenty -three-mile hypoth crook
ed as a corkscrew, as the troopers said,
and this little triangle, solidly filed
with mountains, was the field OF opera
lions Of Maj. Thornton's command In
this it's first campaign against Arizona
Indians. The Sandy took 9 sudden
turn to the southwest as it passed the
old post and flowed away in that gene
eral direction to its confluence with the
CHA, and the old roundabout wagon
route from Retribution to PRESCOTT
went down the Sandy, around the
southern end of the mountain range
and then away northwestward up the
valley Of Willow creek. The only short
cut through the Socorro clump was by
the old Tonic trail from Signal
Butte at the south to Ration Springs to

ing to let down the stirrups, but with
his long legs dangling, led the way
along winding path to the stream and
then through the willows to it's wooded
bank. A trot of three minutes brought
the Sandy came boiling out Of the can
yon. Ahead of them, fresh and dis
tinct, the hoof prints Of a score of horses
had obliterated all sign of what might
have been driven ahead of them. But
wheeling his horse abruptly to the
right Kelly plunged into the foaming
waters and sent him sputtering, breast
deep, to the lower bank on the opposite
SIDE Here in a shallow depression to
the east Of the stream lay some soft
and marshy ground, and here the old
sergeant reined in and pointed without
a word to some peculiar footprints.
Thornton, following his lead, gazed
down at the sign, then into the SER
geant's face for explanation.
"When did you find these?" he asked.
'.Not fifteen minutes ago, sir. The
animals went into the canyon, as Mr..
Crane supposed, and he followed, but
that's the print Of the Tonic moccasin,
and some of those bucks have cut across
below here, tslsirted the edge of this
here cienega close as they could with
out getting into it. and gone on up the
heights. It's my belief they've planned
to trap the lieutenant, and we can't get
after them along this trail tooquick.'
Thornton turned and gazed eagerly
down the Sandy. Out from the willows,
Looping, rode the tall and so]dierly form
of the captain Of the sorrel troop,
Fastening to join his chief; but, before
he could ford the stream, far to tho
northward, somewhere among those re-
sounding rocks, came faint, distinct,
but unmistakable, the ring and rattle
of musketry.
'.By heaven, old man, you're right"
cried the major. ''Mount your men,
Turner" he shouted, ''and get them up
here lively."

Dead Man Found Near Blackfo0t,

The body of an unknown man
was found about one mile south.
west of Blackfoot last Monday.
The county coroner, Jacob Schmidt,
was promptly notified and pro-
ceeded to Blackfoot and held an
inquest on Wednesday. From what
information that could be obtained
it is supposed to be the body of
one B. M. Bell, who jumped from a
Great Northern train about Decem-
Der ID. The man was either drunk
or insane. He jumped from the
train and ran across the prairie
and has never been heard of since.
The body was literally eaten up by
coyotes, there being no flesh left
upon him except on M hand and
his feet. The left arm was gone
entirely, and no clothing was
found, not even a pair of shoes.
There were, no signs of foul play.
The coroner had the remains
buried just north of Blackfoot
station.
The coroner's jury, consisting of
S. H. Drake, E. Garrett, Jos. Kipp,
Lewis E. Young, William Jackson
and Eli Guardipee, rendered the
following verdict:
An inouestion, holden at Black
foot, in the county of Teton, on
the first day of May, A. D. 1895,
before me. Jacob Schmidt, coroner
of said county, upon the body of a
person unknown, there lying dead,
by the jurors whose names are
herewith subscribed, the Jurors on
their oaths do say that the said
person came to his death by means
to them unknown. From circum-
stances brought to the knowledge
of the jurors they are of the
opinion that the body of the man
who jumped off the Great Northern
west bound train on or about
December ID, 1894, who was sup
posed to be B. M. Bell, of Shelby
Junction. The body is SO multi.
ated by wild animals that it is
impossible of Identification.

All these who have had the good

are prompt and impartial. He

with ability. The Eleventh Dis
trict is to be congratulated upon
the possession of such a Judge as
Mr.. Pomeroy bids fair to make.
