 When our troops first came 10 Ari- zona and New Mexico We had two a. grand men a. ever followed an Indian trail. Juan Arrollo. pure Mexican and Jack Swelling. In all our marches Juan Arrallo was with the command. It was this same man who took the cavalry into the heart of the strong | hold where Cochi=e, Mauuletta and old Mangus CUlorow held their couu- cils and tortured their prisoners When it required a fresh mount and new men Juan ArrollO was always in the saddle and ready for the fight. man received would be looked on d. ficticious. To tell of the charges he led, foremost and at the head, made him respected and loved hy all. Noted for his daring and recklessncs>. all eyes were upon him. He seemed to grow wild with delight. The Indians would yell and dare him to leave the command and meet them half way, and many times that brown soul would | fly from the head and charge amidst i their bullets and arrows and return wounded or unscathed with some tro- l phy in his hand that he had captured. l This is no fiction. Ask any old timer of the days of 1861 to 1866. Juan Ar rollo performed acts of bravery that made the commanders of our army rank him a. the grandest and bravest scout of the west. Col. Kit Carson could not do without him. The sol diers were wild to have him with them. But what did he gain only a 1 few dollars per month salary. He is now forgotten, remembered only by a few old frontiersmen. He died un- know and not a board on record to mark his grave. Yet many there are enjoying the luxury of homes and farms today where Juan Arrollo marked the trails and made it possi- without fear. And dear old Jack Swelling. Do you remember him ? First in the fight ready to help the down-trodden poor. Who built the first corral, who drove the fierce Apa- che back to his lair, who barred his breast to all the bullets and arrows of the natives to stand by the poor suf- fering families that now have grown rich in their harvest of grain, fruits and cattle to die an innocent fiction under the name of law. The few cne mics that came in later days wanted Jack ground and started the song of scandal so high that d jury O. twelve noble men right fresh from the east said "You must go to Yuma prison. We are not sure you did the stage rob ping, but you are bad man. You are known as bad man with gun. You drink whiskcy. You have scalpcd Indians, and if you arc let free how soon may it be before you scalp us And before the end came of the de- cissi0n of those pure minded, ignorant eastern philanthropist Jack Swelling had died in prison unhOnorcd and un wcDt.
