Shaffer Makes Appeal for Aid---Victories Claimed
on Both Sides.

Pittsburg. Pa. Aug 14-There were
victories on both sides ~ the great
steel strike today, but they furnish no
direct line on the ultimate result of
the conflict. The strikers succeeded

THE QUICKSANDS
New MexicaD Cowboys PuDiSb
an IDdiaD For Murder Of
an Army CaPtaip.

Bud PEBBLES, boss of the Diamond
Heart ranch, was in Hermosa, n NJ, a
short time ago and related in his pic
turesque manner to a tourist how he
and his comrades forced an Apache
brave to ride into quicksands of the
upper Rio Grande. The incident took
place in the early seventies and was
to revenge the death of an army cap
tain who had been treacherously slain
by the redskins.
The cowboys, six in number, had sur
prised and surrounded him on the bank
of the river. Mr.. PEBBLES tells the
story:
'FOr about ten seconds he sat motion
less on his pony, one arm dangling and
bleeding, which same blood may have
comforted him a bit. l shakes loose
one load and gifts an eagle feather out
of that war bonnet. He never moves.
Another boy on the off side rakes him
across the chest and gifts a couple of
bear claws from his necklace. At that
the Injun sits up mighty straight and
starts his pony on a slow trOt and as
he starts he begins to sing his death
song 1t was wild, mournful sort of a
chant, sliding up and down in long
wall pretty much like a sick coyote.
when he comes to the edge, he don't
aim to make no stop. 1t hurts his pride
to hesitate, but the pony shifts them
sands and swings off. The Injun pulls
his head around and puts it to the pony
proper with his heels. The pony pitch
es, snorts and then jumps out. 1t is a
good enough jump as jumps go, and
sends pony and 'Pache 20 feet out from
the high bank.
"By and by the pony gives big
struggle, last gurgling snort, and his
head goes under. The rider is now in
mud up to his waist.
"The Injun screws around in his
saddle and uses the pony's sunken back
as purchase till he pulls himself up.
1t is hard struggle, for them sands
