well known pioneers. were prospecting
with Il party in the Bradshaw noun
tahs OH the Hassayampa creek. One
morning the party separated for the
purpose of hunting. In going UP a
canyon, in which they We're separated
from their companions by high noun
tains, Duppa's detachment was attack
ed by large band of Tonic Apacles.
The whites gradually fought their way
across the ridge with the hope of re-
joining their companions. During the
advance Duppa, who was stationed be-
hind rock, noticed that he was the
particular mark of an Indian with II
bow. Several arrows had fallen at. his
feet, and one struck him in the arm.
Raising his rife, he took aim, and just
ms he was touching the trigger the sup
posed Indian cried, Don't shoot!" In
good English, but it was too late. and
the body fell over with life extinct.
Soon after the two parties succeeded in
forming a junction, and the Indians re-
treated, leaving their dead.
Out Of curiosity the party returned ia

posed Indian and found that 1t was a

tation; Rev. Martindale sang . solo;

pared by her, entitled Growing

sLersed with admonitions toall tokeep
their thoughts upon the goal that is
only reached through the medium
Of morality and righteousness. Fred
Peet gave brief humorous talk over
the good old times they used to
have here which was followed by a
recitation by Rea Phelps. A col
lection was then taken to defray the
Expenses incurred in the picnic.
Fred 3. Lisk of Earlville. gave the
closing address. Rev. Martindale
invoked a benediction upon those
present and all joined in singing
"Blest be the Tie That Binds"
Then after much visiting and re-
calling OF old times the crowd dis.
persed for the day hoping to see all
present at the picnic next year.
During the course of the after
noon, President A. s Coon appoint
