the ravine, and several Apaches showed
themselves within stones throw OF the

of the savages. Mr.. Hardy was shot through,
the heart and his riderless horse dashed
hown the trail in the directions OF DR..
Haynes The latter saw his friend reel and
fall to the ground, saw the horse coming
toward him, and realized that his only hope
for escape was in capturing the runaway.
He saw the fruitless attempt OF two savages
to capture the animal, while others were
making Hardy's death doubly sure by
mashing his head with rocks. During the
three minutes in which this occurred DIR.
Haynes stated that he firmly believed some
miracle would save him, and so it did. When
the horse reached him the doctor was ly-
ing on his back. The horses bride rens
were dragging on the ground. He reached
for them, caught them and brought the
horse up with round turn, and was on his
withers, with his arms around his neck
without knowing to his dying day how he
did it. The horse broke for the house, wild
with terror. A dozen bullets followed the
horse and rider without effect, owing to the
dense growth of timber at that point where
the trail wound with sharp turn. DR..
Haynes returned to Los Angeles with the

Tombstone for several days to recover from
the terrible experience he had had with

the battleship of which he was chaplain
caused him all of his trouble. He was the
Methodist minister at Tombstone in the
boom days of that camp. He was popular
then, for he never minced his
words and always called things by
their right names. Ii a killing took
place, and the deceased was . difficult

chosen for the ceremony. He always brought

would consider his work done until he had
made the most hardened sinner in the
crowd bow his head.

at two-bits a drink Miss Moses was a
bright, pretty girl, and no one blamed the
minister for falling in love with her. Neith-

married and respected during their short
stay in Tombstone

devoted to his wife and was not as frequent
a visitor to entertainments as before and
then it was whispered that his marriage was
a recognition OF the saloon element. This
was too much for him, and his resignation
was rendered and accepted, after giving
his enemies few extracts from his every
day vocabulary. He shortly afterward en-
tered the government service, where he
made many friends by his outspoken man
ner and Independent thought, and many
enemies also, as recent events have demon
strated.
