Colonel Fife has seen some stirring
times since he left here twenty years
ago. In Arizona the Apaches plum
dered him and killed two former Unit
ed States sergeantS whom he had en-
ployed to assist in guarding his prop
erty. AT this time his son, John D.
Fife, now with the Western Moline
POW company IN SalL Lake, mace a
desperate fight and escape that thrilled
the nation at the time. The young man
escaped to cover and alone fought the
savages for hours. being wounded five
times, killing three of the redskins and
wounding three more, till they thought
he was a dozen men and allowed him
to escape. Another son of the gentle
man went to Mexico from Arizona and
has succeeded splendidly. owning one
of the finest ranches in the republic and
with a revenue of not less than 10000
per year American money, from his
stock business.
Colonel Fife is particularly remem-

ant fibre is then beaten and afterwards
pressed through a refiner. The stuff is
