five or six Apaches galloping abreast of us half mile away. We were be- ginning to feel hopeful. in spite of the bullets that dipped about us and threw up dust on the trail, when We heard the sound of a bullet striking and the night lead mule dropped flat in his tracks, stopping the blackboard so suddenly that We were almost thrown over the dashboard. The Indians raised a yell of triumph as they spurred toward us. All seemed lost with us, but Hank Bristow. handing me the reins. sprang 10 the ground. opening his poeketknife as he ran round to the night mules head. With my revolver in hand l was calculating how soon l had better begin to use it.
 Save shot for the woman when it comes to the last Bristow called as he stopped 10 cut the harness from the fallen mule. But the mule struggled and came to his feet as light as a cat. shaking his head and working his ears as if al loss to understand what all the delay was about. The bullet, a spent one, had struck his head-stall be. low the ear hard enough to knock him down, and nothing worse. Barstow leaped back tc his seat and set the mules flying again, the nigh leader set. ting the pace for the others. The In. dians had gained upon us during the delay, and were firing at short range; twice their bullets clipped the buck board. and mule might be disabled at any moment.
 Suddenly out of gulch 50 yards to our right a horseman rode. a man wearing the United States cavalry uni. form. 4 line of mounted men followed him, and instantly deployed on the level plain. We heard the charge sounded from the bugle, and as the line of cavalry swept toward them. the Tn. dians turned and ran. The cavalry rode past us in pursuit of the Indians. and the blackboard went on to the station All that l ever found out about the troop that had come to our assistance was that it was a scouting party-a half eompany-of colored cavalry that had crossed the Rio Grande that day. and had come upon the Jornada just in time to rescue us"

ROCHESTER, Ind, June 22-When the
Thirteenth district Republican convention.
which meets here Thursday. met four years
ago leading Republicans of the district
solicited the aid of the state committee to
persuade L. W. Royse of Warsaw, to ac-
cept 9. nomination. He did so and was
elected. Two years ago it was said he had
made an acceptable representative, and he
was renominated by reclamation. But a
Republican President was also elected, and
Mr.. Royse's troubles began. Postoffices
were ripe the following spring, and when
the harvest came many felt called on to
serve their country, while but few were
chosen. Whether these disappointments are
or are not responsible for it, the result is
that there are now four opposing candi-
dates. In addition to Representative Royse
these are A l.. Brick, of South Bend. c. D.
Roys, of Elkhart, and G. /. Mccormick, of
Plymouth. If it were large convention
there would be a heap of confusion in the
names of RoySe of Warsaw and ROyS of
Elkhart, but the convention will contain but
along. These 129 delegates will. according
to best calculations, go thus on the first ball
lot for blood, though on the informal ballot
it will differ: Royse, % from Kosciusko, 6
from Marshall from Pulaski from Elk
hart, 6 from Fulton and 4 from Stark, a
total of SO, with 65 necessary for a choice;
Brick 36 from st. Joseph, from Fulton
and from Stark a total of A; Roys, %
from Elkhart; Mccormick, from Marshall.
