and hell opened from behind the rocks to their 'front.'
Two of the seven saddles were emptled at the nrst vol
lev and under the sharp order of their leader the SOL
diers gave way and sought the shelter of the rocks to
the rear.
Lieut.. Cruise did not obey his own order. He waited
and in the face of the showering bullets he lifted q
wounded trooper to his saddle and bore him back to
shelter.
It 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 am
pushed savages, the strength of whose fire told him
that they outnumbered his squad 10 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 official army
history disposes of in a line, but to which a chapter
can scarce do justice.
Cruise, carbine in hand, stood up a fair and easy
mark for a bullet. In an instant a red face showed above
a rock beyond the stream bed and a rifle barrel appeared.
aimed in the direction of the cavalryman. Before the
weapon cracked Cruise, one of the best shots in the
army, had sent a bullet through the Apaches head.
Then this second lieutenant-he was little more than
a boy-rounded the rocks in front of him and walked
straight across the open toward the wounded soldier.
At every third step he fired and the bullets ratified on
the rocks close to the heads of the lurking reds, who
had seen their comrades head split clean at a hundred
and fifty yeards, and with that savage discretion which
at times takes the place of savage courage, they did not
dare show themselves sufficiently to take careful aim.
Cruise reached the wounded trooper. Then he
glanced behind him. Two of his men had followed him.

Back they went slowly. A savage drawer than his
fellows stood up, took careful aim at the group and
fired. The bullet hit Cruise in the arm, but an ounce
of lead from his carbine crashed into the Apache's chest.
Cruise walked backward, while behind him his two troop.

Bullets marked all the pathway, but the magnificent
nerve and courage Of the soldier. who shot true with
death staring him in the face, seemed to palsy the
Apaches aim. They reached the breastworks, the off,

cover Cruise sent one last shot and it claimed a victim.

when the people in Arizona had no
hankering after statehood. There
were not as many of them as there
are to-day and, as an 1rishman mlgnt
put it, they had their hands 1uli
lodging Apache arrows and bullets.
There is a place in Arizona called
the Big Dry Wash-a curious name,
but one fitting a creek bed In a rain
less region. Second Lieut.. Cruise was
sent out with a following of six men
one day on the trail of a band OF
Apaches. There were not enough
troops in the country at that time
and commands were divided and SUD
divided in order to cover the great
est amount of territory possible and
to the end of discovering where the
reds had ~rendezvoused, S that the
scattered soldiers, when the discovery
was made, might be gathered together
and a descent be made upon the en-
envy in a body.
Lieut.. Cruise and his little following
reached the Big Dry Wash without
finding the sign of an Apache. Be-
vond the basin of the Wash was a
natural fertilization of rocks. Cruise
sent a trooper by the right flank to
make a reconnaissance before order
ing his men to cross the bare bed OF
the gulch. The trooper made a detour
and took a peep behind the powders.
He returned and reported that there
wasn't an Indian in sight.

Labor Day viii
See Great
Crowd

Indications are that the biggest
crowd that has ever been seen in Ely
and East Ely will gather on Monday
to participate in the various features
of the Labor day celebration program
at these points.
From McGill there will be around
500 men on the first train and it
is expected that during the day there
will be upwards of 1000 people
brought from there.
The mines are going to turn out
almost enmassee and during the day
there will be a thousand or more peo-
pie down from there. From outlying
districts miners are coming in large
numbers. Many will be in from
Cherry Creek, Osceola and Hamilton
and from as far north as Curries and
Dolly Warden.
The afternoon program at East Ely
ball park is likely to see several
thousand people assembled to wit
ness the ball game and the 20 round
boxing contest. Both these events
promise to be highly interesting and
will hold the attention of the crowd.

fies the question of authority In the
local court. Mr.. Beck leaves this
morning for his home at Hamilton.
The Hamilton justice is positive in
declaring that he is legally qualified
to dispense justice in this township,
in support of which he calls attention
to a letter received from Justice Cart
wright requesting him to preside over
the local court. This letter has been
filed in the clerks Office and placed
on record in the recorders Office.
Justice Marriott maintains that he
vas called to act as justice by Judge
Cartwright, and claims that the Dis

he created two branches of the justice
court. He states, further, that he
made no objection to the division.
Neither did he give his approval.

Eight cans of black bass for dis

the county were received last night
by o. E. Allison game and fish war
den, from the fish hatchery at Lead
vile, Colorado.
Mr.. Allison will divide the fish
into eight cans, six of which will
be planted in Spring Valley, while
one will be sent to Ole Hansen's
ranch in Steptoe Valley. The other
will be forwarded to Lund.
Josh Yelland came in yesterday
from his ranch in Spring Valley, to
receive four cans of fish that will be
placed in Taft Lake. No fish of any
kind have ever been placed in this
body of water, although it is ideal
for this purpose. Taft Lake is three
quarters of a mile long and a quart
er of mile wide with average depth
of about IL feet. The bottom is of
gravel and the water clear as crystal.
Two cans of fish will be placed in
a number of small lakes on the Cleve-
land ranch. Mr.. Yelland returned
