LIEUT.. MoRGAN's 1NKsrANp.

Lieut.. Morgan came out of the fight
with a severe wound below the shoulder.
Armed with repeating rifle, an express,
shooting expanding bullets, he crouched
behind a boulder and sniped away at the
black spots that bobbed up around the
edges Of the great rieks across the gulch-
He noticed that an Apache alrnest oppo-
site him was doing some excellent shoot
ing in his direction. Exposing himself
more than he should, he waited for Mr..
Apache to raise his head. The moment
came; the edge Of the Apaehe's red tur-
ban came into view, and Morgan fired.
As his finger pressed the trigger, a
fanking or ricocEet secf from the rifle
of some unreckoned warrior struck him
and he dropped.
It was in 1881 that Morgan retained to

were beginning to think their end would
be that of their comrades of the Seventh

Horn.
Suddenly. as joyful a sound as the pipes
at Lucknow, a cavalry trumpet sounded
at the foot of the gorge. No other troops
were known tog5e within fifty miles Of
the spot, yet, to the rear. a squadron was
disnlounting and forming to fight on foot.

out of the holes they had scooped in the
hillside and surrendered.
Not till then did the officers and men
of the different commands hammer one
another on the backs and demand ex-
plantations. They were simple, though
the coInbfna ton at that point seemed
nothing short of miraculous. Wallace,
in command at Fort Verde, about ninety
miles to the west, had been informed
of the route of the hoStiles and had been
dispatched to head them off. He lost
some time by a false trail near Fossil
creek, but later swung eastward through
Green and Pleasant valleys and struck
-Chaffee's trail and his score of discarded
chargers. He was soon Joined. by a scout

Independent Order Foresters.

On January 80, news was tele-
graphed from Chicago of the
collapse of q fraternal order
known as the Independent Order
of Foresters of Illinois.
1t is but justice to the members
of the Independent Order of For
esters that the general public
should understand that the col
lapsed order has no connection
with, or interest in, the order of
Independent Foresters outside
of the state of Illinois. The
Independent Order of Foresters,
with present headquarters at
Toronto, Canada. was, founded
at Newark, New Jersey, June II,
1874, since which time it has es
tablished its branches through
out the United States, Canada,
Great Britain and Ireland, Nor
way, Sweden, and the islands of
the Pacific, and at the present
time are establishing the order
in Australia.
In February, 1879, the mem
bers of the order resident in Hi
nois, withdrew from the mother
order and established a separate
state jurisdiction of their own.
BY reason Of this action their
charter was declared null and
forfeited by the mother order,
and they ceased to be part Of
the general order, and became a
separate local institution, con-
fined to the state OF Illinois.
AS an evidence of the pros
perity CT the Independent Order
of Foresters, 1t has to-day in
good standing 160,0 members.
During the past two months
there have been about Is, 900
new members received into the
order.
AS evidence of the financial
standing, able management and
sound business principles of the
order, it has today safely in
vested, a reserve fund amount
ing to over 50, 800, 600, of which
amount 1892, 173. 12 has been add
ed during the past year.
During the past twenty-five
years the Order has paid out to
the widows and orphans, and
disabled brethren, the magniti
cent sum Of $800,O00.
With the reserve fluid of So,
500, 000-more money in reserve
than have all the other orders of
the Kind in North America-With
a vigorous membership of 100,
900, and a low average death
rate of but 5.57 per 1000, the
future Of the order is very bright.

A more outrageous and des-
picable exercise of a little brief
authority than that which Tay-
lor has given in Kentucky has
never been attempted in this
country. Cromwell S assumacy
in dissolving the English par
lament is mild in comparison
with the conduct of this auto
crat,. The best legal opinion OF
his own state, even of his own
partisans, condemns and dis
graces him. Many of those who
honestly believe that he was
elected governor of Kentucky
have by his own acts been
driven to the conclusion that
he is utterly unfit to perform
the functions OF that high office.

A bill has been introduced in
congress by Delegate Wilson
providing for opening all the
mineral lands on Indian reser-
vations in the territory to loca-
ton, operation, development
and entry. This is a good bill
and should become a law. 1t is
another step toward wiping out
all reservations in Arizona,
which would cause the Civiliza-
ton of the red man to proceed
at a more rapid gait than in the
past. The best way to teach
the Indian to tread the paths of
civilization is to bring him in
daily contact with civilized peo-
pie, and the way to teach him
industry is to surround him with
the industrious. The agricult-
ural land on these reservations
should be reclaimed by the
government and given to
Indians for future homes, and
they could and no doubt would
become self-sustaining in a short
time. Throw open the Indian
reservations and allow the in
dustry of the paletace to show
