Barnitz. in the Argosy for March.

By J. Percy Barnitz, in the Argosy FOL
With the approach of spring had
come the long threatened outbreak
ON the Navajo Indian reservation.
A large party of bucks had started on
an expedition of murder and robbery in
the direction of the San Francisco
Mountains, closely pursued by several
troops OF cavalry from Fort Denance.
Orders had been issued that addition
al cavalry from Fort Wingate be sent
by rail to Flagstaff in an endeavor to
head off the hostil redskins. and To-
gether with the troops already in pur-
suit, surround and drive Them DICK
upon the reservation.
Flagstaff. then a lonely little station
on the Atlantic and Pacific railway, IS
situated on the eastern slope OF the San

scending by a series of long, sweeping
curves to the broad plateau stretching
away to the Continental Divide.

There's a trail from the Sanford
ranch to Flagstaff which runs at right
angles with the railroad and crosses
the track tire miles west of Cosnino
This trail is SO steep that it is used
only in coming up the mountain, and
I've heard the boys say that have come
UP there that anyone who couldn't ride
a horse when it was walking on its
hind legs had no business to try to
climb it.
1.-The distance from where the trail
| crosses the track to Flagstaff is three
and one half miles, while the distance
the train had to run to meet that point
was eleven miles. Bucking Bill Har-

Sanford ranch was up at the Rest with
a lot of other COW punchers, making a
night of it. Bill and his roam had
crawled that trail more times than any
other fellow in that section, and l fig

so l grabbed the torpedo and the
train orders and ran over to the front

Over the edge or the trail went the
roam with leap; l closed my eyes and

fear and tried to stop, but it might as

In length, and when it's feet would

THE breath was knocked so COM
pletely out of me that terrible chOk-
ing sensation seized my throat. The
growth of greasewood clutched at my
legs and nearly pulled me out of the
saddle. My heart felt as though it
would fly out of my mouth, and
thought was dying.
Suddenly the frightened steed slack

And Barton found himself alone be-
fore he could reply to the day man.
AS the storm drew nearar. the night
air became suddenly cold and damp.

prepared to build a fire in the stove.
He had hardly finished this work and
settled himself in the chair before the

FIRE AT DELMAR

On Saturday last, the town of
De1mar was swept by fire, and
almost totally destroyed. About
sixty buildings, including all the
stores in Delmar, the churches,
dwellings, ETC.. were burned leav-
ing at least fifty families home
less, and in many cases suffering
for food. The people of Sails
bury, Maryland, who only week
before had been threatened with
a like disaster, were quick to
send carload of provisions to
help the citizens over Sunday.
This is the second serious fire in
less than ten years that Delmar
has suffered, and follows close
on the rejection by a majority Of
the people to establish water
system. They sadly learned
the lesson on Saturday as they
saw their beautiful homes go up
ID smoke, and have already set
about devising a plan to provide
protection am to build brick in
stead Of frame dwellings. While
the expense Of owning and oper-
ating a water plant may seem
