How Two PhiIo.ophic Diggers Pulled
the Express Com pGny's Leg.
"You have often heard about
sailed NINE" said Gen. Ainsworth,
"but l have seen a sailed we'll. On
the trail some distance from the ella
River an attempt was made to dig
well. The stage company and Wells
Fargo & Co. had spent considerable
money on the well, and sank 1t nearly
500 feet. But 1t was still at that depth
as dry as the first layer of sand. They
offered a good round sum, something
like $1,000, to any one who would get
water anywhere in the vicinity, as it
would save long distance If station
for camping purposes could be estab-
lished at the point. AS 1t was, de-
tour had to be made twenty miles
away with the loss of a day on the
journey. Finally couple of fellows
said they would try and get water,
and after about three weeks they sent
word they had struck 1t in good guam
tity. An agent of the companies was
dispatched to the place and saw mud
piled about, showing that there was
water. He let the bucket down and
drew it up full of clear water of good
taste
eco down and see for yourself
said one of the men, but the agent
didn't care to descend 500 feet when
there was proof enough for him. He
testified to the finding Of water, gave
the men an order for the money, and
went away. They followed soon after,
got their money, and that was the
last seen of them.
"They had constructed large wood
en- box in the bottom CT the well and
filled it with water hauled from the
ella River, twenty miles away.
Some of those wells which are
bored in the desert are success con-
tinued Gen. Ainsworth. II remember
one in particular, which was utilized
for a station ON the trail. The wa
| ter was tinctured with alkali and
made you sick if you drank much Of
it, 1t camO from a depth of 500 feet,
and the power used to raise it was Il
blind mule, a whim, and windlass.
| The strange thing about it was that
the old mule would walk around that
within until the 500 feet Of rope was
wound up and stop always at the right
place without word being spoken to
him. l watched him for hours and the
bucket would always be stopped in the
same place every time. / don't know

wiped it out of existence, mounted
horses and raced with the flood to
warn people down the valley of their
grave peril, telling them to flee for
their lives. Matlock tries to make
little of his heroic deed. but several
hundred people, who owe their hVes
to his timely warning, insist upon tell
ing of the young mans daring ride
through the night, his only light the
lightning's flash and the boom and
roar of the food spreading death and
destruction sounding in his ears.
Matlock is the son of Del. Matlock,,
who. before his death, was Sheriff or
Morrow County. On the night OF the
cloudburst which caused the flood, the
Young man was sitting on the steps of
the Palace Hotel, in Heppner, where
he boarded. With him were several
companions. among whom was Bruce
Kelly, his companion ON the ride.
When the storm commenced they all
went I'D on the veranda to watch It's
nropress. The thunder rolled inces-
sanity and a violent hailstorm came
nm Suddenly as they watched there
came q great roar and Matlock, look
ing ND. saw a wall of water twenty
feet high rushing down the mountain.
Realizing instantly that Heppner
was doomed, Matlock thought of the
neonle in the other towns down the
valley and determined to save them If
no could. Calling to Kelly he rushed
down the street Knowing that they
would have to cross fields and fences,
tho two men ran into nearby hard
ware store, snatched up two pairs or
wire cutters, and almost the next in
slant they were into livery and start
ing each to lead out horse. Then
their wild ride began. They both
knew every inch of the valley, ana
though it was pitch dark and naming,
they dashed through the fields at
breakneck speed Every house they
passed they gave warning of the COM
ing flood and sped on. About SIX
miles had been covered when Mat
locks horse stumbled and threw him
hard. snraining his knee and bruising
him otherwise. He was up again III
an instant and with Kelly's aid re-
mounted. They reached Arlington and
shortly thereafter Matlock's horse
dropped dead from fatigue. He Sc
cured another and they set on Tor
lone, twelve miles away. When stu
three miles from that town Kelly, s
horse dropped and the former ran Tor
the hills. while Matlock continued on
alone. warning people everywhere IN
the valley. He reached lone but a
few minutes before the flood and then
posted for Arlington, reaching there at
/ o'clock in the morning, after riding
sixty-seven miles through the night In
seven hours.

English Household Troops.

The privileges of the household
troops, which are now being called
into question, date from the establish
ment of the regiments from Charles
H., according to the London Chronicle.
A fortnight before his coming from
Holland he selected eighty cavalier
gentlemen and formed them into q
corps of life guards under Lord Ger
ard. Increased to 600 men, they formed
the kings bodyguard and escorted him
into his own again.
Parliament disbanded the Ironside
army, but an outburst of fifth mon
archy fanatics in January, 1861, af-
foN1ed Charles pretext for maintain
ing troops for his personal protection.
Out of Monks disbanded army the
king increased the life guard by 500
men. raised a regiment of foot guards,
transformed the CoIdstream regiments
into a second corps of foot guards
and converted troops of Cromwellian
cavalry into royal horse guards. The
third regiment of foot guards was es-
tablished in 1713, in honor of the
union with Scotland. The earl OF Lin
lithgow's fusiliers were brought TO
London and converted into SCOTS
guards These five regiments formed
the nucleus of the British army.
