HORSE SENSE SAVED A LIFE.
How a Texas Pony Rescued Her Mas
ter From a Sand Pile.
From the Philadeiphia Times.


El Paso, Tex.-TIere is a story that will
illustrate most emphaticaly that much
talked-of commodity commonly known as
"horse-sense." 1t comes straight from
Arizona, and besides being perfectly fresh
news, has the additional qualification of
being altogether reliable.
During the early part OF December. be-
fore the rains began, X. n. Tucker-com-

tory not far from the border.
When they had been several days out
the party struck camp in a little arroyo

of the winds, and did some pretty good
shooting, antelope and rabbits being the
principal game. with now and then a coy
ote or a mountain lion TO relieve the mo-
notony and keep things somewhat adven-
turous. In tho course Of a few days now
ever, the immediate section having been
pretty thoroughly worked, Old Naintuck,
taking one of the men, dickson by name,
set out upon a sort of scouting expedition

the distance. Not long thereafter there
was a sound of horses feet in the dis
lance: presently a solitary hOrsesman
dashed into camp, and poor dickson,
more dead than alive, fell from his stag
gering pony. 1t was some time before
anything could be learned from him of his
own narrow escape or of Old Kaintucks
probable fate. II appears that Hickson
and his pony had been driven against
clump Of mauzinita bushes and so held in
check against the drifting sand. But poor
kaiutuck had not Jared so well. The last
Iickson had seen of him he had been
thrown from his horse and both were be-
ing driven on by the relentless power Of
the sand-cloud. What remnant of strength
IIickson had had left when the storm
passed he had exhausted In fruitless
search for his companion, and had at last
returned to camp In despair.
OF course a relief party was organized
az once TO so out and make "A strenuous
effort at least to find Old Kaintuck. In
the hurry and hustle OF preparation one
of the men called out that Cita. the team

ally he drifted into criminal practice. He
disliked criminal law and has always en-
tertained a contempt for the usual jury
that was elected to pass upon a mans lib
erty, and il was this feature of the prac-
tice that made IL odous to him. Still, he
oftentmes appeared for defendants, never,
however for the prosecution. Years ago
he appeared as an attorney for the state
~ a murder case. The accused was con-
Yicted mainly because of Col. Ingersoll's
appeal TO the jury. The man was hanged.
Subsequent events proved that he was in
nocent Since then the great atheist has
been averse TO participating on the side
of the prosecution. About the time he went
to New York the gambling element along
Sixth avenue and from Fourteenth TO
Thirty-second street, had many cases to
try. At Jake Smiths, who now keeps sa-
loon al the corner of Twenty-eighth and
Sixth avenue, there one night congregated
about twenty professional counterfeitcrs,
card sharps. green goods men and the like.
They discussed attorneys, and when the
night was over they had agreed 10 band
together and 10 employ ingersoll TO defend
them when legal defense became ncces-
sary. The first case given tho lawyer was
one in which a man named Coulson was
charged with countcrfeiting $1,000 notes.
Coulson had been arrested and "A spurious
bill OF the above denomination had been
found upon his person. Col. Ingersoll APP
pcared for him.
The chief prosecuting witness was maa
named Jordan, kinsman of Col. Jordan
Of tho Now York sub-troasury who was
an expert in detecting counterfeit coin.
Col. Ingcrsoll held the 81 900 bill in mis-
hand lie would lower it. raise II again
and then place IL IN such a manner as to
catch every angle of the eye.
- Mr.. Jordan, you say this Is counter

tone as he held the piece OF paper IN bis
hands. The reply was in the affirmative
Then he lowered his hand that contained
the bin between his knees and asked: DO
you mean to say his bill is counterfeifs''

could make a counter move the defend-

from the court room Coulson told his
lawyer to keep tho bill as his fee. When
the note was presented az the sub-treasury
for change il was stamped as counterfeit.
Six months elapsed and one night Col.
Ingersoll was at Roctor's cafe In this city.
As he went TO settle his bill for his meal
