Frank D. Baldwin has been in so many fights
for his country that the counting of them
sumes the proportion of a mathematical problem
For years upon years after the civil in which
he distinguished himself time and again. he fought
nearly every form of Indian that the plains of
the United States has produced. There was one
fight in which Baldwin engaged which de-
serves a place in song and story, if some song
o story writer could be found equal to the oc-
ecasiOn. In the days of the campaign of which
this fight a feature there only one bar
'on Baldwins shoulder for he a Junior first
lieutenant of infantry. The campaign long
one and the &ghts followed fast and followed
faster
While on detached service in Newport, Ky, in
June 1874 Baldwin heard that his regiment was
to be ordered, under Col Nelson A. Miles, to make
an expedition into the Indian territory. The lieu
tenant went to the front as fast as train and a
horse could carry him When he reported for
duty Miles, who knew Baldwins record in the
civil war, put him in command of the
scouts of the expedition command that
was composed partly of whites and partly
of Indians.
With his scouts back of him Lieut.. Baldwin
had dozen engagements, one after another.
with the confederated bands of Cheyennes, Kio-
was Arapahoes and the southern Commences.
The one fight, however which for picturesque
ness stands out most prominently in the battle
list, did not take place until after Baldwin had
been in the field for many months. 1t was the
fight of his life not in the engagements size nor
vet. perhaps, in its importance, but III
what an officer who saw it declares
to have been tits howlingly funny fea-
lures"
ii was picturesque and it was funny all right,
hut It was dangerous as well, and Baldwin lost
some of his men, and took his own life in his
hands 20 times before he won his splendid victory
against tremendous odds The daring of the
thing was recognized by Col. Miles, by the gen.
eral commanding the department, and by inc
congress of the United States, which gave Bald
win his second medal of honor for his work on
that day.
BY one of the military freaks OF for
tune Baldwin ahough only lieutenant,
found himself in November, 1874, in COM
mand of d company of the Fifth infantry,
n troop of the Sixth cavalry, and OF
- of the scouts of the organization with
which he had originally taken the heid.
He had about 100 men all told When
he reached the banks of McCieilans Creek
Tex. There he found in front OF him
fully 500 Indian warriors splendidly armed
and apnarently lusting for a fight. Every

take chances which will not only endanger their lives
but hundreds of others and if they get through at
time without accident, it but emboldens them to at
tempt even desperate undertakings and
later an awful calamity follows. Any miner caught

Efforts are being made by business men Of P2r gould to buy the bridge across the St. Francis river, nine mics east of here, put it in first class con- dition and make it a free bridge. The present owners charge a toll Of S1 for a wagon and team, round trip. and 75 cents one way. Pro- portionate charges are made for other vehic es. peop 2 residing east Of the river cannot escape this toll when they cross the river. It is thought that Para gould would derive at much larger trade from this section if the toll charges were dispensed with. A price of 5000 has been placed on the bridge.

TO GROW PRUNES ON PEACH
TREES.

Lewiston, Idaho, Feb. %. Because
of the risks which follow peach grow
ing through the annual frost damage
White Bros. and Crum, the largest or
chardists of the Snake river valley.
will graft prune buds on 35-acre
peach orchard at Alpowa, While this
is regarded as an experiment, the adj
vice of fruit experts of the northwest
has been sought and as result the
great peach orchard will be converted
into an orchard of Tradegy prunes, the
finest commercial variety. The peach
trees are three years old, healthy and
free from plant diseases.
The experiment will be watched
with unusual interest by fruit growers.
but horticultural experts have no doubt
of the success of grating the prunes.
Should success follow the experiment
it is possible that other peach orchards
in the Lewiston valley will be CONVEX
ted into prune farms. Nursery.cen
declare that apple trees are supplant
ing peaches and cherries, as no dam
age from frost has been sufficient to
reduce the profits of an orchard.
