Apaches Never Took ScnIps.

The taking of scalps has been spoken
of so commonly in the press of the
United States that it has become a
general practice, when speaking Of
man having lost his life among the In
dams, to say, HE lost his scalp" Nov
elists even of today, when locating
their stories in Apacheland, almost in
variably scalp the victims of Apache
vengeance. AS a matter of fact, one
can say that the Apache never took
scalps, Men who have lived in the
Apache country and have been closely
associated with them for thirty years
or more claim that no full blooded
Apache ever scalped man he killed.
On the contrary he would not touch a
body after death and would throw
away his weapons if stained with hui
man blood Their own dead the men
never help to bury. This task is left
to the women e. S. Curtis in Serb
ners.

Bessemer October 1O.-(special)- )-Tho residence of William T. Kennedy. on Berlxley avenue. between Nineteeth and twentieth streets, was burned to th9 ground and the house occupied by l.. O. Smith badly damaged by fire which broke out about noon today. Both wer9 fve-room structures owned by w. F. Kennedy, and valued at S3o00, which .s partly covered by insurance.
 The fire started in the roof and was not discovered until the whole building was in flames. An alarm was turned in to the fire department, which made quick run to the scene, but was too late t) save the residence. Nothing was taken from the flames but the piano and several trunks, every thing else being destroyed. Attention of the firemen was then turned to the residence of l.. O. Smith, next door. which was saved, but the furnishings and part of the roof were destroyed Ths department was seriously handicapped by the weak pressure of the water.
 In returning to the fire station for moro hose, Tom, the large Norman gray horse who has been working for the city several years, struck the hoof of the fore left foot so violently against a rail at tn Southern railroad crossing that it was al-
 
 bravely on and only broke down afte' returning to the scene of the fire. It re- quired two hours to lead him back to the stable where he is now in very serious condition. There is great danger of blood poison setting in, and death would surely follow Tom is the best loved horse on the force having many friends among the fremen who giving him the best treat ment and are hopeful of his recovery. His death would be a great loss to the city.
