1876 the Apaches were peaceable, but
when it was decided to move them to
the Don Carlos reservation in Arizona
they became malcontents," said Mr..
Blaine. Il was mining close to the
Ojo-Caliente army post, commanded by
Captain Hooker, famed for his Black
Horse regiment. 1t was on Sept. H.
1876, that the Apaches. under Chief
Victorie, surprised the hostlers, who
were seated beneath a tree playing
seven up, while the horses graZed near
by. The Indians cut off the entire
bunch, and the well trained animals,
which had been taught to run for the
fort at signal, were stampeded and
captured by the redskins. The same
day the Indians swarmed down on the
little mining camp of Hillsboro and
surprised the boys at their work. With
my partner, was at the bottom Of the
shaft, and on hearing the firing I
peered out and saw the Apaches mount
ed on the stolen horses, forming for
fight right around our shaft. There
was but one chance for us, and that
was to rum and run we did.
eve got away, and, forming band of
twenty-six under the leadership Of odd
Joe Yankee an experienced Indian
fighter, we started after those eighty
marauders, determined to teach them
lesson. In Luke valley we came up
with Victorie and all in all it wasn't
no
done. AS the trail narrowed two
Apaches left the band and swept up q
steep bank, as only they can run, and
like bunch Of tenderfeet we started
after the pair, losing sight Of the main
band. At the top we met them all in
as prettily laid ambush as Indians ever
prepared. When they got through
there were but ten of us left and not
one horse. OF the survivors half were
injured, and sorry remnant we made
finding our way back to Hillsboro.
after that experience I was thirst
ing for a little revenge and enlisted
with General Bell to push the cam
paign into old Mexico, whittier the
Apaches were making. Following them
into Chihuahua, we co-operated with
the Mexican troops, who caught up
with Chief Victorie and annihilated the
entire band, men, women and papooses,
over 100 in all. The only ones to
escape were Chief Name and forty
warriors, who were behind with the
cattle, and, returning to New Mexico,
ne was REINFORCED by some Navaioes,
numbering only about 100, but within
the next three years their depredations
included more than 1000 murdered set
tiers Of that section.
Determined to punish them. Major
Morrow took a select command of IS
scouts and 200 soldiers and started in
pursuit which gave us the liveliest
kind Of experience for the next three
years. We followed them to the Black
range in New Mexico, the Indians keep
ing to the very toughest country, apA
pearing occasionally, but for the most
part keeping out of reach They would
split into small bands, raid ranches,
murder and burn, drive off cattle and
be back again with the main band be-
fore we could locate them.
ION the Pirchie river we met them
and gave fight. killing twelve Indians
and losing six men. A few days later,
near Fort Cummins, they encountered
the stage, killed all the passengers but
one, whom they took prisoner, and

A Wonderful Memory.

Hortensius, the Roman orator, could
repeat word for word book he had
just read. On one occasion he made
wager with one Sienna and to win it
went to an auction, remained all day
and in the evening gave list of all the
articles sold, the prices paid for them
and the names of the purchasers. The
accuracy of his memory was in this
case attested by the auctioneer's clerk,
who followed the recapitulation with
his book and found that in no case had
the man of wonderful memory made a

Distances AT Sea.

That man was laughed at who on
his first voyage said that the ocean
did not look SO large as he supposed
it would, but he was not alone in ex-
periencing disappointment. The hor-
lion at sea gives no idea of the linn
itiess water beyond. A sea captain de-
clares that the average landsman can
not see more than ten miles from the
ship in any direction, and it would
have to be mountain or some station
airy object for him to be able to dis
tinguish it. The masts of ship are
said to be visible to the naked eye not
more than five miles.

Manners.

Manners are of more Importance than
laws. In great measure the laws de-
pend On them. The law touches us but
here and there and now and then.
Manners are what vex or soothe, cor
rupt or purify, exalt or debase, barba-
rize or refine us, by constant. steady,
uniform, insensible operation, like that
Of the air we breathe. They give their
whole color to our lives. According to
their quality they aid morals, they sup
ply them or they totally destroy them.

Winifred laughed and dipped her

"Of course it is! But there aren't

LINE FENCES ALL DOWN
Danger of Herd Breaking Out of Mo
line Stockade and Coming to
Rock Island.

Elks from all over the state of Hi
nois are headed for Moline and a STAN
Dede is looked for during about four
days. The rattle of the hoofs on the
pavement can already be heard as they
come running in from the east. north
and south. AS the fences are all down
between Rock Island and Moline there
seems TO be great danger Of a portion
OF the herd getting away and into this
city. Moline viii undoubtedly do her
best TO get them within a stockade,
but as the animal is fleet of foot mot
TO say fastJ il is probable that the
herd will not be held under control.
EIks Are welcome.
Although Rock Island has no stock
ade there are numerous Elks at large
here who will greatly enjoy a meeting
with their kind from all parts of the
state. and as those already here have
proved harmless by keeping on the
pavements and off from peple's gar
dens. the people have concluded that
they viii welcome those who may get
away from Moline. In TACT the
clatter of the hoof has become so mu-
steal To the ear that it now seems prob
able that a stockade will be construct
cd here to keep them from wandering
longer into far away pastures.
Reception This Evening.
The reception to the visiting mem
bers of the order will be held this ev
