An apple tree is in . constant state

suit last year. in fact, my judgement
would have fooled me had the con-
sequences been otherwise than as they
were, although many people more ex-
perienced in grape culture than myself
disagreed with me about the prospect
Of q second crop.
The past season was . fairly good
one on the Rockafellow ranch, although
the yield Of summer apples was only .
little over q third what it was the
previous year. OF the winter varieties
we gathered about eighteen car loads,
or 1900 boxes. thirteen car loads Of
which have been marketed. We shipped
7oC0 boxes Of apples to Texas, two car
loads 70 La Junta, one TO Silver Cliff,
one to 0klahoms; the rest having been
disposed of nearer home.
I'VE have about four car losds yet

probably dispose Of among the local

FRONTIER SKETCH.
How Judge Russell Prevented An
Indian Attack on Rocky Ford
By . Little Strategem.

Half . century ago the indians were
30 bad on the plains along the Eastern
base OF the Rocky Mountains that a
fellows life was not worth n picayune
outside OF well garrisoned settlement.
During the interval from 1870 to 1873
the Indians stsmpeded the people OF
the Arkansas valley quite often.
At that time tn. Utss were located
around the Fort Garland country.
about 100 miles west and the Chey yennes
held forth on the plains 1t the east and
~ each tribe came out on their buffalo
hunts ard a. their killing was not al
ways confined 20 buffalo the settlers
had to re prepared and on the lookout
for them. The Cheyennes would kill
every body they could catch out unpro-
tected. Consequently every man car
ried gun with him where yer he went.
The Utes and Cheyennes had quite .
battle at the mouth OF the Big Muddy
In 1872
The next day or two after the fight
six hundred Utes rode into Rocky Ford
and they had the scalps of six Cheyenne
Indians tackled on poles ten feet long
carried hight in the air. The excite
ment ran so high with them that the
store of Russell 4 Swink was closed and
guns were put in the hands of all the
men around the place. The Indians
were quieted down, however. and soon
gathered up their lodges and squaws
and left for their reservation. During
the year the Utes hsd several fights
with the settlers around the Greenhorn
mountains and killed quite a number
OF them.
In 1873 A. Russell was at the old
town OF Las Animas holding court, be-
ing at that time county Judge. One
morning about daylight 200 0heyennes
were seen crossing the Arkansas from
the south side to the north and start
ing up the river, Russell fearing they
would make for Rocky Fort, hitced up
and drove to the Ford in three hours,
covering thirty-flve miles. He could
see the Indians Al times on the north
side as they travelled along. Russell
drove into the Ford about half an hour
OCtohc thc ahftNSa etiOse euc

thirty rods or so south Of the crossing.
He gathered in all the men about and
around the store and after arming
everybody posted them around the
buildings to receive the visitors A.
hotly - possible. He then concluded
to play ruse 30 they would not come
over.
He went down to the river just -
the Indians rode up to the crossing.
Some Of them started In but halted ~
let their horses drink. Russell beckon-
ed 70 them to come over but to his
hearts delight they turned and broke
for the hills. No doubt the Indians
they would be led into trap. He was
very thankful they did not shoot At
