yards when she screamed; the sol diers ran to her and found her lanced through and through. She was dead {; it only took an hour for the hanging of the nine Indians. and when left to go back to Fort Goodwin they were up the trees yet.
 Our troop officers consisted of Cap tain E. B. Frink, William Oman and Thomas c. Chapman. After toiling over the hot desert all through the summer, We were ordered to Masilla, New Mexico, to be discharged.
 On one of our trips after the Apache we came on to few Indians, but they were too far to shoot and our officer concluded to try and talk with them i; SC he beckoned for them to come over to us. A great gulch lay between us. The savages returned the salute with ha-ha, but come not.
 Then, of course, we started over; they motioned for us to come forawrd and think it was Captain Joe Smith, then Major Smith; he alone went to
 
 guns ready, if any treachery was shown. Each one gave the Major a hug, but they would not come in with us. so we had to leave them.
 At another time a little Mexican boy, fifteen years old, came to us; he had been a prisoner great many years. His name is Joseph Mendiville and lives twenty miles above Yuma, on the California side at the present time. He was taken and educated by Captain Frink and Lieutenant Quilly. He is an honest and fine man.
 A little Yaqua girl ran to us. She had been made a prisoner. and her ex- posture and hard treatment made her look like an old aged woman; King Woolsey took the child and kept her until grown, then married her; have seen a few of her children. One lived at Harquahala mines.
 At one time we found where a white man had been flung into a cactus bush, that specie of cactus called Cholla plant.
 Graham County was not known then but many was the expressions made that the flower of the United States would some day spring and bloom on the Gila River, and I have lived .o ee it. I wish all to know that for health and fine climate it cannot be excelled.

AN EARLY DAY SKETCH
By CLARK v. STOCKING

Captain Clark B. Stocking, the well known pioner of Arizona. who now lives in Clifton, and is a watchman for the Arizona Copper Company, was asked to write something of his first country, now embraced in Graham County. The following was kindly handed us by Captain Stocking:
 It has been so many years since first came to Arizona that it will be difficult for me to remember the names of my comrades and old time friends, but our Troop, Company A, California infantry. was with the ad. vance column that came from Califor. mia. In the year 1862 we tramped from Yuma to Las Cruces. The most of our time was put in guarding the water holes and a few prisoners that the California cavalry had made sur. render.
 This party of men were under Colo nsl Showlwater, who was trying to get from California through to Texas to join the Southern army. With tigthing the Indians and carrying the mail and dispatches, we were kept very busily engaged; from Las Cruces we come to Pinos Altos. Remember that was long before Silver City was thought of After our fight at Pinos Altos and kill ing of old Mangus Colorow, the great Apache chief at Apache Taho, we were ordered to Fort Stanton, New Mexico.
 ! am only following one troop, but there were many other troops of sol. diers with us. After many a hard fought battle around Fort Stanton, we were ordered to march back into Ari- zona: We came down to Las Cruces and loaded with commissaries and quartermaster goods and started for t, Gila River. Our destination was some where on the San Carlos River, ] but after many days we made our camp and it was named Fort Goodwin. l near the present town of Fort Thomas. |
 We cut the timber from the river and made adobes; built some government ! quarters; that was in May 1864 The | Indians were harassing the soldiers, | running of stock and yelling from the | hillisdes; very seldom the cavalry , could get near enough to do any dam age to them, and the only way was for i the infantry to ambush them, but that | was very infrequent, for they were shy.
 Some time in the month of Septem- Der. King Woolsey, the great pioneer or Arizona, came to us with eighty four men; they were hunting gold. Old Sam Miller, of Prescott, was among tfe prospectors; these men were most all well of at home, but in Arizona

the Indians, come in also and begged for protection. Major Brakely, a new officer from the East, was in command.
 He wanted the woman to go out and tell the tribe to come in. She told him that the Apaches would kill her. That man took hold of her and pushed her out of camp. but at the same time told her he would hold nine Apaches as hostages for her safe return. She had not gone over a couple of hundred

and at that place, they were hard up. No shoes and nothing to wear or eat. Walker and Weaver were in this coun- try before that time; I remember of seeing MT. Walker
 A portion of our cavalry went to the San Carlos and took possession of the Indian corn fields; there was no get ting them to treat with us or making peace. One day a few Indians came into camp at the San Carlos and were taken and made prisoners; a Mexican woman, who had been a prisoner with
