The table at which the troopers sat
was only few feet from the little

Warren Dalton, after greeting the
troopers, had made himself comfort

the leader.

triumphant laugh.

troopers strobe boldly into the house
and up to the fireplace, where a LOG

They were coarse faced men and
the fumes of their breath gave evil

Joseph Harding, had given his life for
independence early in the days of the
Revolution. Here with her daughter
Faith, beautiful girl of eighteen, she
lived alone, deriving a livelihood from
her few acres of tillable land below
the bluff.
Mrs. Harding and Faith were firm
patriots. and although they had mourn

they had never once lost enthusiasm
Tor the cause that had brought their
great sorrow.
There was one in the neighborhood
who would have done all in his power
to lessen Faiths trials. This was
Warren Dalton, whose fathers we'll

Warren Dalton and Faith had grown

LEG BROKEN WHEN TRAIN BUMPS Indian Woman Has Peculiar Accident in Box Car
 Near Cutter

s. J. IS, an Apache squaw, sustained broken leg at Cutter yesterday after noon, while stealing a ride on freight car, loaded with steel rails. The woman was brought to this city and taken to the county hospital, where the fracture was reduced. Her injuries are not con sidered dangerous.
 The squaw, according to reports from the valley, seereted herself in an open box car, loaded with steel rails. While the train was being made up, the car was bumped rather violently, causing the steel to shift. The squaw was caught between the rails and the end of the car, fracturing the right leg.
 The train was in charge of Conductor Andy Williams. The train crew was unaware of the woman's presence in the dangerous position, it is said, and is not blamed for the accident.
