ing General Butler came around to see the prisoners and recognized Jim. He says, "aint you Jimmy Drumm?" i'Yes." said Jim, T have been trying to plug you all day. but you took me gun" Butler tried hard to get Jim to join his command but could not, so he left word with the guard to not watch Jimmy very close. In a week he was back with the rebel battery trying to plug Butler.
 At the close of the war he started for Arizona and arrived in 1866 at Tucson. He came all the way on horse back across the country. At his last camp. in the morning he saw a man on horseback trying to make a pass in the mouptains and a band of Apaches trying to head him off. He saw the man drop a valise and in about an hour he picked it up. It con- tained $47.000 in bills and belonged to a Tucson merchant. Jim was offered $50 for bringing it in. He declined with thanks saying he had plenty of money
 He had a fight with Apaches near Wickenburg before Phoenix was heard of Many times have seen the arrow scars. He was a pioneer and ran the first ferry at Ehrenburg on the Colo radO. He has also discovered and sold more mines than any man in Arizona I cannot vOuch for this but that is what always heard. Dr Dimes of Tenn De is an old friend. Also a Mexican of Wickenburg 43 years old who was born at Ehrenburg. Sim was there at the time of his birth. His name is Roscoe I believe.
 From my knowledge of Jimmy Drumm I don't think a braver or larger hearted man ever lived. He has folks living in Massachusetts whose address l have forgotten. Some of them are very wealthy and probably would like to know of him. The least Ari- zona can do is to mark his grave so it can always be found. I do not wonder that it took locoanotive to kill him. Neither bullets. knives nor Indians arrows could do 1t. May his soul rest in peace is my wish. Many are the long winter evenings he &Quld talk of his past life to me. not to brag but to relate actual facts as they occurred. Charles Genung also knows the man as did Henry Wickenburg, A. H. Pee ples and many other old timers long since dead and gone.
