HE WALKED STRAIGHT ACROSS THE OPEN
TOWARD THE WOUNDED SOLDIER
tor Thomas Cruise is doing duty In the
uuartermaster's department at the
present time, and he takes more &C.
count of shovels than he does Of
swords, but it would be a bold man
Of the line who would sneer at the ca
reer of Major Cruise.
Cruise was for years an officer OF the
Sixth cavalry. They say today when
he picks up a sample shovel in the
ouartermaster's department he handles
it as though it were a carbine. In the
early summer of the year 1882 Second
Lieutenant Cruise was serving In h
troop of the Sixth down in one Of the
hottest parts of hot Arizona. That was
a time when the people in Arizona had
no hankering after statehood. There
we're not so many Of them then
There is a place in Arizona called the
Big Dry Wash, curious name, but
one fitting a creek bed in rainless re-
gion. Second Lieutenant Cruise was
sent out with a following Of six men
one day on the trail Of band OF Apa-
ches. There were not enough troops IN
the country at that time, and COM
mands were divided and subdivided In
order to cover the greatest amount OF
territory possible and to the end OF dis
covering where the reds had rendez-
yoused, so that the scattered soldiers
when the discovery was made might
be gathered together and descent be
made upon the enemy in a body.
Lieutenant Cruise and his little fol-
lowing reached the Big Dry Wash
without finding the sign Of an Apache.
Beyond the basin of the Wash was a
natural fortifcation Of rocks. Cruise
sent a trooper by the right flank to
make a reconnaissance before ordering
his men to cross the bare bed Of the
gulch. The trooper made detour and
took a peep behind the powders. He
returned and reported that there wasn't
an Indian in sight.
Then the little command, Cruise lead
ing, pushed down into the basin, and
hades opened from behind the rocks to
their front. Two Of the seven saddles
were emptied at the first volley. and
under the sharp order Of their leader
the soldiers gave way and sought the
shelter of the rocks to the rear.
Lieutenant Cruise did not obey his
own order. He waited, and In the face
Of the showering bullets he lifted a
wounded trooper to his saddle and bore
him back to shelter.

Caught in Greenville.

GREENv1LLE, February Ga whiskey
drummer named Carson, said to be the
representative of firm in Atlanta, was
arrested here today, charged with aiding
8 negro to secure, under fictitious name
ashipment of whiskey through the local
express Office. With Carson, Gonder, a
local barber, was also arrested, the latter
having vouched for the negro as Charlie
Moore, when it turned out later that he
was known by another name. Gonder
and Carson were subsequently, released
under bond, the latter leaving at once for
spartanburg. Since the closing OF the
dispensaries. jugs after jugs of liquor
have been shipped into Greenville.
Constables are watching the express
Office. Every package is examined and
suspicious characters are arrested.

I VS. supposed that the second
trooper who had fallen at the first fire
Of the Apaches was dead. Cruise looked
out across the waste between him and
the ambushed savages, the strength Of
whose fire told him that they ounum-
bered his squad ten to one. While look
ing in the direction Of the enemy Cruise
saw the first trooper who had fallen
turn himself on the sand Then there
happened one of those things which Of
fetal army history disposes Of In line,
but to which chapter can scarcely DO
justice.
Cruise, carbine In hand, stood up a
fair and easy mark for 4 bullet In an
instant a red face showed above rock
beyond the stream bed and ride bar
rel appeared. Before the weapon crack
ed Cruise, one Of the best shots IN the
army. had sent bullet straight
through the Apache's head.
Then this second ueutenant-he was
little more than a boy-rounded the
rocks In front Of him and walked
straight across the open toward the
wounded soldier. At every third step
he fred, and the bullets ratified on the
rocks close to the heads Of the lurking
reds, who had seen their comrades
head split clean at $50 yards, and with
that savage discretion which at times
takes the place Of savage courage they
did not dare show themselves sufh'
ciently to take careful aim, but they
answered the carbines continued shots
with scattering volleys.
Cruise reached the wounded trooper.
Then he glanced behind him. Two Of
his men had followed him, all unbid.
den. Garry him, boys" said Cruise,
''and I'll cover the retreat"
Back they went slowly. A savage
braver than his fellows stood up, took
careful aim at the group and fired. The
bullet bit Cruise in the arm, but an
ounce Of lead from his carbine crashed
into the Apache's chest. Cruise walked
backward, while behind him his two
troopers bore their stricken fellow.
Bullets marked all the pathway, but
the magnificent nerve and courage OF
the soldier, who shot true with death
staring him In the face, seemed to pal
sy the Apache's aim. They reached the
breastworks, the officer and the sol
diers, with their burden.
In an hour re-enforcements came,
and a horde Of savages was put to
flight. Major Cruise Is today in, the
quartermaster's department, but there
are hundreds Of older officers Of the
line who would like to have his record

Not long ago an officer Of one Of the

Tax Returning Time.

He boasts he is like Washington
he cannot tell lie,
But when he meets the Auditor
Just watch him on the sly.
He bends down close to make returns
His voice is low and dim;
Because he knows his dear neighbors,
Each one is watching him.
His fertile soil is very deep,
MANY feet to the clay,
He never said his land was cheap,
Until returning day.
His horses all are very fine,
They are SO fat and gay;
But now at tax returning time,
They're mighty cheap today.
he would have bristled up to fight
a day or two before;
TO any one making light,
OF him for being poor.
But now to hear his tax return.
It's pitiful indeed;
An inmate Of the pauper's home,
Isno greater need.

work of s~neak-Thieves.

B. E. Brassford who is heavily inter-
ested in Jefferson Canyon and who has
an office in the Bass building, left his
office for a short time Sunday to pay a
business visit to his barber. When he
returned he found that a s~afe-deposit
box, in which his valuable papers were
kept and which had been left on his
desk, had the cover partially pried off
while the contents was scattered about
the floor, sneak-thieves having got in
their work during his absence.
at is evidently money that the
thieves were AFTER" said Bassford.
''They used my prospecting pick to pry
open the top and finding no money did
not make any attempt to search the
premises. In the back Office were two
suits of new clothes and fortunately for
me they were either scared away be-
fore they had a chance to rummage
around any, or they did not like the
looks of my wardrobe"

AWFUL ACCIDENT
AT GOLDFIELD
A Miner Blown to Atoms by Premature
Explosion Of a Blast.

Amannamed James O'Neill, employed
in the Norcross mine at Goldfield, was
blown to atoms last Monday by the pre-
mature explosian of a blast. o'Neill
and his partner, Eugene Gilfllan, it
appears, were working in the bottom of
an eighty-five foot shaft and had put
in a round of holes. They spit the fuses,
got into the bucket and signaled the en-
gineer to hoist. They had assembled but
a short distance when one of the charges
went off prematurely, upsetting the
bucket which contained the men, and
throwing them out. Gilfllan, although
injured, managed by an inexplicable
streak of fortune to climb out of the
hole and save his life, but O'Neill fell
upon the rapidly exploding charges of
powder and was literally blown to
pieces. The deceased was about &c
years of age.

SANTA CRUZ
GREETS TONOPAH
A Delegation Arrives in TOnOpah by
Special Train.

The people of Santa Cruz, California,
have realized in a full measure the
benefits of advertising and letting the
outside world know that it has on the
Pacific Coast a summer resort equaling
if not surprising any other in the
United States and that the famed
Coney is by no means "the only" In
rsuan thereof the invitation COM
mittee of the Santa Cruz Beach, Cot
tage and Tent City Corporation, of
which Fred w. Swanton is the a
ager, arrived in Tonopah last Sunday
afternoon, by special train, their com
ing having been previously heralded to
the people Of this city. At the depot
the visitors were met by an immense
throng led by representatives of the
Board Of Trade, under the direction of
r. P. Dunlap and Secretary Stockton,
who extended to them a hearty well
come on behalf of the people Of Tonopah.
The visitors had with them the band
of the Twenty-second United States
Infantry and a procession was quickly
formed. Falling in behind the band the
procession moved up Main street to the
sound of lively music. Hating in the
street neal Brougher avenue, several
airs we're played, when the procession
took up its march to the baseball
grounds, where a game was in progress
between the mines composed Of the
doctors on one side and the brokers or
the other.
In the evening the band appeared or
the veranda Of the Mizpah Club and dis
coursed excellent music to the largest
gathering of people eve seen on oul
streets. Rockets were sent up and the
general eclat carried the conviction thai
there was certainly something doing il
town. Later the visitors were received
in a becoming style in the rooms Of thu
club.
1t has been only a short time sine
the people of Santa Cruz conceived tn
idea of making their city a famou
summer resort, but in that short tim
they have certainly accomplished won
ders, in the way of bringing it to tn
front. No other place in Californi
offers the advantages of Santa Cruz a
a summer resort. Its climate an
scenery have united in forming one O
Natures most beautiful breathin
places, while Monterey bay affords tn
finest bathing beach, fishing and boat
ing to be found on the Pacific Coasi
Added to these the amusement feature
are so numerous and varied that it ca
truly be said that there is never a du
moment in Santa Cruz.

His Mother In Tonopah.

Last Monday evening, Mrs. Albertina
Anderson, mother of Alfred Anderson
who was killed by Chief of Police Nc
Kenzie on the 18th inst, arrived in To-
nopah, and at once sought Justice Bris-
sell to find out the full facts relative to
the death of her son and also to ascer-
tain if he had left any money or prep
erty. The poor woman was heart
broken and wholly without means as
the SON was her only support. She said
that she believed he had money some
where as he had promised, shortly be-
fore his death, to send her some. Dill
gent inquiry on the part of the officials,
however, failed to reveal the place
where the deceased had stopped prioi
to coming here or even where he lodged
while in this city. All she had were thu
j two pistols which were turned over tt
her and Chief of Police Mckenzie, t.
assist her, kindly gave her 500 TO
these-their commercial value being
only $40.

In Justice Court.

Last Wednesday forenoon, John Hill
taken before Judge Brissell,
charged with vagrancy. He pied
guilty and the Judge gave him six hours
in which to float out of town, notwith-
standing his admission that he was
without visible means of support.
His fear of going to Jail gave him suf-
fcient buyoncy, however and he ioated
like a chip.
Two disturbers of the peace and one
drunk were arraigned about the same
time to give an account of their con.
duct. Contrary to precedent in such
cases, these fellows frankly put all the
blame on Old Booze and the Judge after
delivering to them an extemporaneou'
temperance lecture told them to g'
their way and sin no more.

newly appointed business agent in the

A DISTINGUISHED
VISITOR HERE
The Mayor Of Reno Has a Very Ex-
allied Opinion Of TOnOpah.

This week Tonopah was honored by
the presence of Hon. N. E. Wilson,
Mayor of Reno. Mr.. Wilson is also
Grand Chancellor of the Knights of
Pythias and was here on official bust
ness connected with that popular order.
This being his first visit to Tonopah he
expressed himself as being ~agreeably
surprised at the size of the city and its
wonderfully rapid growth in the COM
~paratively short time since it's inception.
The appearance of permanency as COM
pared with other young mining towns
was also a matter of surprise to him.
Our stately public buildings, handsome
business blocks and placial residences
coupled with that air of thrift and sub
stantial business energy which seems
to pervade u community was some
thing he hardly expected to find, conse-
quently he was loud in his praises of
Tonopah and predicts for it a great
future. He deplores the slight pique OF
disaffection that has in the past mani
tested itself between Reno and Tono-
pah and says it never should exist; that
nothing but the most friendly relations
should prevail between these two Of
Nevada's greatest cities.
Mr.. Wilson is a man of eruditioni
and, in addition to his political and fra.
ternal offices, is professor of chemistry
in the State University. He says thai
Nevada's fame as a mining state serves
as a great leverage to the mining de
partment of the University as may b.
seen from the fact that among the ninety
students enrolled some came from al
far away as New York to take thu
course.
AS Grand Chancellor of the Knights
of Pythias Mr.. Wilson was making hi
annual visitation of the lodges of thu
state, of which there are eighteen will
