about 20 miles east Of Tucson-near now
what is known as Pontano Station, on
the Southern Pacific railroad-consisted
Of the usual adobe structure: four
square walls, on the inside of which was
the storehouse, ETC., and inclosing a
courtyard or corral. The outer walls
were without openings, except where
pierced for. gun play in case Of attack.
At the southeast corner was a round
tower, which was also pierced with port
holes, from which the south and east
sides could be covered by defenders.
On the north side was the entrance to
the corral, an opening wide enough to
admit teams and wagons of any size.

til one quiet evening in June, 1870, Mil
Ter was in Tucson on business. The
only occupants of the stockade, besides
myself, was a man named Scott Young
and stage driver, whose name 1 do

the corral when the dogs began acting
uneasily.
"'Coyotes,' suggested Young.
"'More likely 1njuns,' said the stage

Apache. Bob tumbled over, shot in the

and lay him in the Enclosure, where he
died almost at once.
BRUSHING at once for the round tow

rifles and our ammunition were always
kept, found Scott Young already at
work at the redskins, who were making
a rush for cover on the south and cast

Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from
the paralytic' s fate to which he seemeda

surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in q
personal interview with the recent suf-

"The doctor" said Mr.. Kenney, told
me that if I wanted to live any length

by terrible pains, and again Iwould have

from headaches and a pain in the spine.

A WARNING SHOT.
How Yankee sharpshooter Brought
the Reckless Confederate to
His Senses.

One of the strange incidents of war,
especially during state of siege, is
the friendly relations which exist be-
tween enemies when of duty. At one
moment the soldiers of the opposing
armies will be chatting socially and
exchanging favOrs, the next-shooting
each other down as deadly foes. A
little incident told by Mr. Ripley in his
"Story of Company F." gives a glimpse
of a genial interlude in the grim civil
war.
During the siege of Petersburg, it
was the custom for the opposing pick
cts to grant temporary truces for the
purpose of preparing food. Half an
hour, perhaps, would be agreed upon,
and its limit would be scrupulously OBJ
served when time" was called. Then
every man would hurry under cover
On one occasion a confederate was
slow to respond to the warning. He,
to all appearances, did not realize that
he was in sight. While the others hur-
ried to their posts, he sat quietly blow
ing his coffee and munching his hard.
tack. Fortunately for him he was in
plain sight of sentinel less blood
thirsty than some. This man thought
it only fair to give him farther warn
ing.
Il say, Johnny,"he shouted, times
up! Get into your hole!''
"All right" replied Johnny" still
blowing his coffee.
"Just hold that cup still minute and
I'll show you whether it's all right or
mott" shouted the sharpshooter.
The confederate began to suspect
that he was in fact visible, and he held
his cup still for an instant as he looked
up and around. This afforded the de-
sired opportunity for the sharpshoot-
er. With well-sent bullet he knocked
the cup clean out of the owners hand.
With sudden agility the surprised con.
federate made haste to disappear,
amid the jeers and laughter of both
lines Of nickets

When asked to relate some of the in
