GENERAL GRANT.
He Was an indian Fighter on the
Plains in 1854.

In 1854 George w. Briant was en-
port army supplies from Fort Leaven-
worth to Fort Union. N. NJ, and occa-
sionally on to Santa Fe, says the
Frontier Sketch" writer in Denver
Field and Farm. On one of the trips
he left the eastern Kansas post with
forty men. $50 oxen, ten mules and
horses and thirty-two large freighting
wagons and arrived at Larned, Kan,
all right. 1t was customary for the
government to furnish a military es-
cort on to Fort Union or to a point
where 1t was considered safe to go on
without the soldiers and Lieutenant
U. S. Grant was ordered with sixty sol
diers under his command to go with
this train.
Just west of Larned on the Arkan-
sas." says Mr.. Briant, IA soldier sight

Grant and his men took position ut

The Indians came yelling and whoop.
ing. There were 600 of them, armed
with bows and arrows. II was their
custom to fight In circle. They made
two circuits but on the second time
around they were so bamy licked that
they went away and never bothered us
again. We did not have man scratch
ed but killed eight redskins.
I'VE never knew how many were
wounded for they waved white rag
and we allowed them to pick up their
wounded and carry them away. I'll
admit that when the fight began | was
a bit nervous. I glanced around and
In an instant my nervousness left me.
There. at the other end of the corral,
was the man who afterward became
president. IN his mouth was a black
corncob pipe and he was strolling
about as calmly as IL he were In a
every moment of being hit with q poi

fight he answered: Tut. tut. don't

one was a sharpshooter. Hardly ever
did they pull trigger that an Indian

EiRD HAD FLOWN.
unoccupicd 6um's Nest on a Santa Fe
Freight Car.

In a box car arriving on the Santa
Fe line a, III Paso from Chicago the
other day. there was an ideal buns
nest. The Chicago cur had been load
ed with mixed merchandise, including
several sacks OF confetti, several boxes
of crackers, a lot of fine piano covers
and robes and other material that
would go to make up a fine nest for o
bum. Somewhere along the road n
bum entered the car. opened up sew
eral bags of confet,., and poured the
stun out between couple OF boxes.
He then threw the sacking down over
the confetti. Next he opened a box Of
piano covers and robes. which he used
as cover. OF course he got hungry
and opened up several boxes OF fancy
cakes and cookies and other canned
goods. whic he dcvourcd to his hearts
content The only thing that was lack
in wan water and booze. This. how
ever. nc waB no doubt able to secure
at the terminal stations. He came
through In as good style as IL ne had
been In Pullman. and in fact this was
one of the best side door Pullmans that
has come into lei paso In many day.
TO get In aud out of the car he would
pry open one corner of the door and
hold il open with n stick while he
crawlod IL, and would afterwards take
the stick out and trainmen looking
over the train would not notice that
anything was wroag. as he did not
break seal or leave any other trace
of his entrance. When he first entered
the car and when he left II for good is
a mystery.

General Manager W. S. Hopewell. of
the Santa Fe Central railway, who
has just returned from a trip along
the line OF the construction Of the
road. brings most encouraging and
cheerful news. says the New Mexican.
The grade Is completed fifty miles
south of Santa Fee and ten miles north.
west Of Torrance. leaving at this date.
a gap OF 60 miles of grade to be finish
ed. As this Is over the easiest part Of
the line and as for many miles the line
runs on a tangent on this stretch.
grading work will be finished In plenty
OF time and there will be no interior
ence with the track layers. The steel
rails are loaded on the cars at Pitts
burg, Pa. but owing to the congestion
OF freight business In the Pittsburg
yards these cars have not yet been re-
moved. They are expected to be on
the way. however. by the first OF the
month and at Torrance by the 10th Of
December. A Harris track laying ma.
chine Is on the ground and will be
used and as soon as the steel rails
reach Torrance. active work will be
commenced and will be pushed at the
rate of two and half miles per day.
The yards at Torrance are graded In
first class shape and ready for the
steel. A plentiful supply Of water has
been struck at Torrance. and samples
Of the water have been sent to the
school Of mines at Socorro for analy-
sis. II Il turns out to be good engine

pounds to the acre Is raised while the
blue grass land of Kentucky IL too val
liable to put tobacco in as it is very
exhaustive to the soil. II is Mr. Ed
munds' opinion that If tobacco culture
is once introduced in the irrigated
lands of the southwest. Virginia and
Kentucky, as tobacco states, will be
things of the past. The work should
be taken up at once as plant beds
should be sown in January.
II is the purpose of the Santa Fe
Railway company to afford every pos
lbie assistance to this comparatively
rev industry for New Mexico and the
results of its careful investigation
prove conclusively that 1t will be a
raging product for New Mexico. Mr..
| Merritt will bring with him all the
data the company has secured. Until
very recent years, practically all the
| tobacco consumed in New Mexico was
raised here and has been for $50 years
Within the past five years tobacco OF

the result has been most satisfactory.
