TOWARD THE WOUNDED SOLDIER.
jor Thomas Cruise is doing duty in the
quartermaster's department at the
present time, and he takes more ac
count of shovels than he does of
swords, but it would be 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 4 sample shovel in the
quartermaster'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 X
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
were not so many of them then.
There is place in Arizona called the
Big Dry Wash, a curious name, but
gion. Second Lieutenant Cruise was
sent out with a following of six men
one day on the trail of a 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-
voused, so that the scattered soldiers
when the discovery was made might
be gathered together and a 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 fertilization of rocks. Cruise
sent 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 WASH
an Indian in sight
sThen 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

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
1t was 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 outnum-
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 a line,
but to which a chapter can scarcely do
justice.
Cruise, carbine in hand, stood up a
fair aad easy mark for a bullet In an
instant red face showed above a rock

overlooked, says the Chicago Evening
