A BATTLE WITH INDIANS.
1t was in the month of October
1866, when four ApacheS sudden
ly appeared withing 200 yards of
their place, and in broad day
light drove off all the working
cattle of the community. Patter-
son Immediately took up the fresh
trail, with seven natives, to over
take the maurauders aud recover
the stock so much needed BY
them, there not being single
horse in the settlement. The
little expedition went on foot
with one of the natives some dis
tance in the front. Mr.. Patter-
son followed next and the rear
was brought up by the six remain
ing men. They had not proceed
ed far when the Apache attacked
the advance guard, and the poor
man was seen by Patterson to
fall mortally wounded, with an
arrow penetrationg his temple.
At this juncture our brave pioneer
motioned to those in the rear to
come to the rescue, and he adj
vanced rapidly to the front, maxi
ing his rifle crack with a rapidity
| AHn - J..
with surprise and CONSERVATION.
The enemy's line was in the form
of a crescent, which subjected
him to AZ inceSent enfilading fire,
he being uncovered while the
enemy were concealed from view.
He adopted the following rule to
secure a shot: He would level
his rifle at some object in front
or rear, as if sighting to fire,
when he would suddenly wheel
to the left or centre, as the case
might be, take a quick aim and
drop some buck more adventurous
than the rest who had left his
safe cover to take deliberate aim
at him while they thought he
was unconscious of danger. In
this way he fought until seven of
the miscreants were killed; shift
ing his position from time to
time, and dodging arrows and
bullets at intervals.
THE RETREAT.
Notwithstanding all the agility
at his command, he was wounded
with an arrow to the ankle, but
extracted it with his hands, and
continued to fire with increased
rapidity and renewed courage
and rage; but being finally wound
ed with a rifle ball in the knee,
he retired, slowly keeping up a
steady fire, and thus preventing
pursuit until he had reached the
brow of the eminence upon which
the six had stationed themselves.
There he found that one man was
wounded in the arm, another in
the side, a third in the head, and
fourth had an arrow sticking
in his back, from which wound
he died two days afterwards,
The party then fell back upon
the town, keeping back the muir
derous reds, and entered the CON
fines of the place which gave
them safety and shelter.
TRJANo BARRON.
The Indians taking part in the
engagement were eighty in mum
Der, commanded by Victorio
Mana and Loco. Some year
afterwards, when on their reser
vation, they admitted the loss o
seven braves, and that Tejan'
Barbon Long Whiskered Texan
the name by which Patterson wa
known among them, was the ont
who slew them, including one o
their prominent chiefs. Th,
Apaches had been so roughly
handled in this encounter tha
they Immediately left the scene
but Victorio vowed to return witt
overwhelming forces, massacr
the entire population, and raz'
! the town to the ground.

The following from a corres-

is:
Kelly, N. NJ, Feb. 2l, 1906.
To the Chieftain:
Judging from the mining ac-
tivity iR Kelly today, one must
conclude that our boom of last
summer has become chronic, and
our prosperity permanent; and if
the claim should be made that
New Mexico has a better all
round mining camp than Kelly,
this writer would beg to state
that he was from Joplin, and
socially it is a recognized fact
that Kelly is right. New York's
400" may cut a wider swath
and spend more stolen money
than the honest, Woodworking,
wide awake members of Kelly's
40" but let them. We are not
envious of their civilization gone
to seed, for we we'll know that
the rich idler, or professional do
nothing, is the most over-worked
and miserable person on this
earth.
On the evening of the 18th
inst. a party was given at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Brown. 1t was surprise"
party given in honor of Arthur
Brown of Girvin, Saskatchewan,
n. w. Canada. Art had not
seen brother" Joe for 20 years
previous to last November, and,
being OF a thrifty nature, he
mixed business with pleasure by
accepting a position on one of
the Graphic mines of which
Joseph Brown is superintendent.
Well, Art saw a robin redbreast
the other day and he got to think
ing of his prarie home in the far
away northwest, of his children
and wife, and we'll, that settled
it. He threw his hammer down
and said he was going home.
Hence the surprise party.
At 7:30 the spacious Brown resi-
dence was we'll lighted and ready
for the mob" Mrs. Brown was
assisted in receiving by Mrs. A.
l.. Heister, and by 8 o'clock the
collection was perfect and the
fun began. Instrumental and
vocal music, cards, dancing, par
lor games, conversation, jokes,
and general hilarity was the rule
until IL o'clock, when the rioters
were notified that it was feed
time. You were not there2
Well, then, | can't tell you of
the good time, of the good things
to eat, and then some more good
time. After feeding, merry MAX
ing was continued until late
or, | should say, an early hour,
when the guests began to say
proper and very complimentary
things to Mrs. Joseph Brown.
Among those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Babcock, Mr.. and
Mrs. Terry, Mr.. and Mrs. Ferry,
Mr.. and Mrs. Townsend, Mr..
and Mrs. Exter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stapleford, Mrs. Edwards, the
writer and Mrs. Heister, and
young ladies and gentlemen by
the dozen.
Arthur Brown enjoyed himself
hugely and says he will take
home with him many pleasant
recollections of Kelly and her
people. OF course he likes Can
ada better than this country, but
thinks New Mexico is the best
part of the United States, and
Kelly the best spot in New Mex
leo. He will pay short visit to
relatives in Gallup, and then
start for his home in the N. w.
We of Kelly wish him happiness
and God speed.

N UST STAND CUT
Salary Law Held to be Legal by
Supreme Court

The law of 1899 fixing the salaries
of clerks of district courts, county
Judges, assessors and other officials,
is valid. and the clerks who have
been trying to recover the difference
of $500 year in their salaries, which
were lowered by the new law, fail
in their contention. The supreme
court handed down decision to that
effect recently, Affirming its decision
made in July and recently that of
the Pueblo district court.
The important point of law in
volyed is that section % of the con-
stitution does not apply to amend
ments to bills in the legislature re-
commended by a conference commit
tee.
The case is entitled the county
commissioners of Pueblo county VS..
L, B. Strait, and the decision was
written by Justice Steele. The ap-
pellee in the case was the plaintiH
in the lower court. He sued to re-
cover money that had been paid over
to the county treasurer out of his
fees. Prior to 1899 the salaries of
clerks of the district court in the
class with Pueblo was 50, 500, but
the enactment cut it down to 81, 900.
Strait was paid in all $1,000 each
wear for three years and then sued
the commissioners for 81, 500. 1t
was contended that the enactment
was unconstitutional because of de-
fects in its passage through the leg
islature.
The district court held that the
contention was we'll taken and gave
him Judgment. The commissioners
appealed to the supreme court and
the decision was reversed. Mr..
Strait made presentation of sutf-
cient force and the court leopened
the case for him, but now atlirms its
former decision.
Mr.. Straits attorneys held that
the measure was defective because,
"by the adoption of the conference
committee report material amend
ments to the said bill were adopted
which were never printed before the
final vote was taken, as prescribed
bv the constitution.
While the case was brought by one
man really every county official in
the state was interested.
