Suddenly two pufs of smoke darted out. Two
almost simultaneous reports of rifles echoed among
the rocks, and the two squaws toppled over. Then
all the scouts began to fire, their rifles showing
in the half light of dawn flashes like electric
sparks. Instantly the boulders that sheltered the
Indians became articulate with sound-with the
whoops and shouts of bucks, the moaning,
prolonged screaming of the squaws and the cries
of children

Meanwhile the scouts in the rocks were pouring
shots into the Indians from the rear. AS a kind
of orchestral accompaniment to the chorus of
the rifles, the squaws keeping up a con-
tinuous half chanting, half crying, sound that be-
came burst of wild lamentation whenever brave
went down.
Above all the clanor could hear the voice of
Geronimo roaring out commands. He was telling
his people, informed by Mickey Free to
keep under the rocks out of the way of the bullets
of the scouts, and to aim low at The fact
was that they could not get their rifles, resting
on the high bouders low enough to hit us
without exposing themselves. This resulted in

Then we realized our mistake They
own men, who had got around in front OF us. The

Rafferty,, as we slowly made way up the hill
again to look after the fallen riders. All of them
were severely hurt. We dashed them to horses and
sent them back.
For three days and most of two nights we rode,
and as we went the signs of Indians kept growing
fresher We upon ponies bodies that were
hardly cold, and upon embers in which fire still
fingered. Urging our horses to their utmost, we
made rapid progress, except at the times, which
with increasing frequency, when the Indian
tracks disappeared completely.
1t was that Apache scouts most
valuable. Each one would get down his hands
and knees, and whether it was day night would
follow the faint footprints of individual Indians
or ponies. After two three miles the separate
tracks would suddenly come together, and we would
be the trail again. This periodic scattering of
the Indians caused much delay.
They got across the border but this time

Upper.
And so, drawn up in line, we sat on our horses
ready for quick action in case the Indians should
take alarm. But suspecting that we would
dare to cross the border, they had put sentries
out and evidently celebrating, that night,
their safe entry into Mexico. For long time, as
sat waiting, the chanting and tom-tom pound
ing continued but finally at about three in the
morning the sounds died down and ceased alto
gether, and knew that the Indians had laid
down to rest.

Our horses, whose tongues were hanging from
their mouths with thirst, forced to return
to the place where we had come upon the
burning campfire, and where was located

returned the next morning to renew the fight
but found that the I2dians had struck the trail
again.

no one to take care of it, placed in a crevice

of seven more braves who, succumbing to wounds,
had fallen by the way. We were by means

the ground strewn with bodies.
A man threw the limp form
of Goldrick on the saddle
in front of him, and we
galloped back to the skirmish
line of the night before. On the
way, Rafferty's horse, old Jim.
which he had ridden for ten
years, suddenly sank at the
knees and fell dead.
When we reached our former
position we turned and began
to fire again. The white smoke
of gunshots hung heavily about
the rocks within the horseshoe,
but through this haze we
saw one of the wounded men,
whom we had been forced to
leave behind, slowly raise his
arm.
Il call for volunteer to
bring that man out!" shouted
Rafferty,.
There was an instant's pause,
because the attempt seemed to
mean certain death, and then at
least half the company started
toward the Captain. But they
were too late. Lynch. a private
who had given us a good deal
of trouble at post because of his
unruly nature, was already riding
like a fiend toward the opening
in the rocks. We saw him,
hanging far down on his horses
side, sweep into the gate of
death, leap from his animal,
lift the body upon it, spring
to the saddle again and then,
with the leaden balls raising
little clouds of dust around him,
come flying out. He smiled as
he dismounted, and laid the
rescued man gently on the
grass.
We held our places and kept
up a constant fire until four

Thus William kclson Cromwell, coun-
sci for the Panama railroad, and in
that capacity an official Of the United
States, defed Senator Morgan III his
quest for information lis To the mean
ing of letter written by Cromwell to
Secretary Hay concerning the original
concession 70 the Panama canal com
pany. After declaring chat questions
relating TO that transaction were not
gernlsne 10 the present inquiry Of the
Senate committee on interoceanic canals,
Mr.. Cromwell met a rapid fire Of quss
tions with prompt refusals 10 answer.
MI Morgan then Turned to inquiries
regarding the services of Cromwell To
the Panama Railroad company. The
witness said he was first invited to be

Cromwell freely answered questions "a
To bond issues aud sales, but his recol.
lection on the subject was limited. He
said that in the books Of the executive
committee which Mr.. Morgan had be-
fore him were recorded all Of these
transactions.
Mr. Cromwell testified that there were
no laws by which the board of directorx
Of the railroad could be removed by ths
government The executive COMMITTEES
Of the board is elected by the board
ana cannot be terminated by any other
body. He had before testified, said MIR.
Cromwell, that Mr.. Farnham, clerk
III his Office, was also director Of the
railroad.
Chen said Mr. Morgan, ''if the board
OF directors was evenly divided on the
subject. clerk in your office could main
tain your position on the executive COM
mittees"
Let us not mingle business with friv-
olities.y objected Mr. Cromwell.
Senator Morgan retorted sharply that
he would show the witness that he
meant business. The question was re-
peated.

we'll
Maybe we are not all Of that CLOTH
said Mr.. Morgan. II am sure some of
the people connected with the affairs
OF the canal or railroad are not.
Il think you can enlarge that descrip-
ton little" responded Mr.. Cromwell.
The witness explained that the gov
ernnlent in the case of the railroad could
diseuslify the directors by withdraw
ing the one share of stock held by each
director. This would uecessitste the
return of 500 paid by each director for
the share held.
Then said M. Morgan, ITO re-
move you the government would have 70
pay you Soo?''
sYes, sir, and hope the government
is able to do il" replied the witness
tartly.
At this point the committee took an
adjournment until today.
