Christmas | ever spent in the south
west, especially in New Mexico"
The scalp of the Apache chief, taken
by Colonel Morris, is on exhibition in
the Smithsonian Institute with the bow
and arrow used in this battle by the
chief.
Five years after this when the rec
ords were being looked over, congress
of the United States came to the con-
clusion that among the brave deeds
during the year of 1870, this thrilling
ard successful experience Of Colonel
Morris stood out most conspicuous,
and he was presented with a medal OF
honor. Out of the thirteen men
brought into battle three were killed
and ten wounded. but the Indians all
went TO their happy hunting grounds,
for they all lay on the field OF battle,
when the days work was done.
Colonel Morris is still with us, an
honored and respected ciuzen. The
young folks like to gather around the
colonel and hear the tales of the old
times He is now postmaster at Thorn
ton, n, NJ, but has been in Albuquer-
que for the past six weeks. He was

Col. j. L. Morris Tale.

Another story of a more exciting
nature, dealing with the early days of
fighting and strenuous life of the plains
man, and a noted act of bravery was
obtained from Col. J. l.. Morris.
The colonel was chief of scouts from
1870 until 1880, and now wears a
medal OF honor presented him by the
congress of United States for a brave
deed Previous to his serving as a
scout he was a soldier during the civil
war.
Just about Christmas time in the
year of 1870" said the colonel, the
soldiers at Fort Selden, n. NJ, were
accused of stealing squaws. This
caused Chief Juanika of the Apaches
10 go on the warpath. He had with
him at the start ten warriors, and
twenty more Joined the party, making

will provision that the older employees

Drifton, was instantly killed in the
mines at that place yesterday morning
by being crushed under one OF the heavy

The young man resided with his
mother. He is survived by brother,
Andrew, of Easton, and three sisters,
Misses Mary, Maggie and Louisa. He
was popular young man and his un-
timely death is regretted by his friends

Blow at Free Bridges.

The state supreme court yesterday
handed down decision affirming the
judgment of the Luzerne county court
In the case of George j. Stegmaier and
others VS.. John M. Jones, A. d. Hay
and p. ]. Finn, commissioners of Luz
erne county.
The case concerned the question of
free bridges and proceedings were
entered to compel the commissioners to
purchase all the existing toll bridges.
Judge Wheaton, before whom the
matter was argued, refused the prayer
OF the petitioners and decided that the
recent act of the Legislature, under
which the action was brought, was un-
constitutional. This decision is sus-
tained and there will, consequently, be
no free bridges.
