Captain Baker, who had won his title
in the confederate army, induced James
White and young German named
Hem Strole, to so on g prospecting
tour with him to the then uninhabiteG
and but little known San Juan country
in southwestern Colorado.
Baker had been a gold hunter be-
fore the war. He was q natural leader,
and inspired his companions with his
own confidence. With Mexican
burro to carry their mining outfit, the
three men started to find fortune in the
gulches of the San Juan, where at that
time there was not a white man, but
the hostile NaYajOs were strongly in
evidence
After weeks Of privation the pros
pectors reached the promised land. to
the west of.the Sierra Aiadre. They at
once went to work, and rich gold finds
confirmed Bakers judgment.
THE men worked for nearly a month
with great success and were beginning
to feel that the Indians would not
bother them, when just before daylight
one August morning they were startled
from sleep by the thunder of rocks
from the cliffs above and the shrill yells
of the savages. They seized their
arms. and while waiting for the light
to come into the canyon where they
were in camp, they placed all thei!
belongings on the burro, so as to be
ready for fight.
with dawn they saw the Navajos
on both sides Of the deep gulch, but the
horror of the situation was increased
when Captain Baker fell on his face
with a bullet through his brain.
white and Strole saw that their only
chance for escape was to make their
way down the canyon to the west
They took the heavily laden burrC
along, the Indians following and hurl-
ing rocks from the cliffs. About the
middle OF the afternoon they came tc
the canyon of the San Juan, where the
water flowed from bank to bank.
They made a raft Of driftwood
which they found lodged in the cleft
of the rocks. using their ropes L
fasten the logs. They had to gbandor
The donkey. but they loaded all Their
food and arms. not forgetting the golC
dust on the raft.
"A more desperate situation il
would be difficult to imagine. Here
these men we're, at the bottom of &
great canyon, flowing through a track
less waste and through a region a
that time uneXplored, and but little
known even to this day, but thei
ignorance OF the situation gave then
strength and hone.
The raft drifted down with tn,
current, the black walls rising higher

1.-TWO more days and nights passed,
when the smooth current became
swifter, and they saw the white foam
of rapids ahead.
''Strole, who had been guiding the
raft with a pole, stood UP against the
advice of his companion. He tried to
use the pole, as the raft plunged into
the rapids. Too late Strole saw his
error. The ropes parted. The raft
spread out like a fan. White, who was
clinging to the logs, heard an awful cry,
and looking through the cloud of spray
he saw the young German sinking out
of sight in the maddened waters.
when these rapids were passed
White succeeded in making landing,
and secured the raft to the narrow strip
of shore. The food. the arms, the min
ing tools, were gone, but the buckskin
bag full of water was still fast to the
logs.

moved. The door at the head of the

then priod open. Mr.. olsho's safe was
open, but contained only papers and
records, which were destroyed by the
disappointed burglar. The cash drawer
was emptied of the S2.37 it held, and a
number of silk handkerchiefs, gloves,
boxes of 164a collars, fancy buttons and
jewelry were taken.

Two Men Steal an Engine.

Jack Cunningham and Tom DAILY at
tempted deed on Tuesday night which
might have cost them their lives and
impcrilled those of dozens of others
About o'clock they strolled into the
Kingston yard of the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad, and, see
ing an engine at the entrance of the
roundhouse, conceived the daring idea
of having little ride of their own The
engine, heavy freight puller, had Just
been brought out, steam was up and
she was ready to start down the road.
No one was on board.
The men in the yard were started by
| hearing the engine whistle and at the
same time jump forward, her wheels Slip
| ping on the track, for the men had jerk
ed the throttle wide open. AS the yard
| men ran towards her the men in the ca b
pulled the sand lever and the wheels
grinding into it, got hold of the rails and
the engine dartcd forward out Of the
yard and on to the main track north
bound. The men who saw her disappear
in the darkness were for a moment panic
stricken for the New York express south
bound on the same track was due in IL
few minutes.
While some ran to the telegraph Of
flee others chased the engine up the
track, shouting, 'Stop her!" stop herr'
Their cries reached the ears of three
brakemen who were going home and as
they heard the engine bearing down
upon them, they thought she was run
away. Speeding along the side of the
track, they gained what they could and
as the engine whizzed alongside of them.
sprang for the steps. One missed and
rolled over and over along the track,
unhurt, but Messrs. Davis and JeSsup
caught the bars and swung themselves
onto the tank. AS they did so Cunning
ham and DAILY sprang from the cab and
disappeared in the darkness.
Quickly the brakemen clambered over
the tank and in a few second had the
engine under control. As they stopped
her a light flashed around curve about
a mile away. 1t was the headlight of the
New York express, but the train found a
clear track before it. Nothing has been
seen of Cunningham or DAILY and the
police are still looking for them.
