as sheriff of the county by appoint ment
 Not long after that Chilean. Joaquin. got drunk and riding up and down the street. disturbed the peace with double barrelled sho-y' gun Then he turned and rode = on the Wickenburg road Warden, who happened along, depu,kzed a man named Joe Phy to bring him in- Phy communicated a horse hltched along the sidewalk and rode after the Chilean. A few minutes later he returned and told the sher- ifrs office that the body lay by the roadside a half mile out
 Another event I remember very well was the killing of three Mexi- cans at the junction of the Salt and Giia rivers by sheriff's posse They were supposed to have been impii- cated in a stage robbery the year before. That was not known ~ sure and so far as l know there wAs no effort after the killing to ascer- tain it.
 ..In 1872 I took up a ranch south west of Phoenix. I paid six cents pound for seed barley. When my crop came on it was worth three quarters cent a pound. After I had paid all my debts in connection with the farming experiment I had two sacks left. 1 gave them to Henry Slosser for work he had done on the ranch
 Then I went to wickenburg. had brought with me letter of intro duction to A. H. Peepel and Jack Swilling. The latter was pretty well known in Wickenburg about that time for lie had lately killed three Mexicans there in one day and had worn their scalps about the town It was while I was there that Henry Wickenburg was shot and wounded by John Willis
 q rext went to Prescott, where l fell in with Black Jack, well known miner. We and several others got jobs on the Tiger mine and started out from Prescott on foot We got as far as One Eyed Davis ranch where I was so sick they thought I would die, but the next day we went on our way through the heaviest snow I have ever seen. .sShortly before we left Prescott we had heard of a brush Bill MLeod had had with band of Apaches in the part of the country where we were going There had been brought into Prescott, Indians shields and bows and arrows taken from the scene of the battle, but the trophies had not been gathered by MLeod. He had business elsewhere as soon as he had finished his engagement with the Indians. There were 50 or 50 of the Indians. MLeod was hunter who always hunted alone. He killed three Indians. We came upon their bodies. One of them had s.-i- dently been only badly wounded Nor
 we found his body a long disGnce | from the place of the fight. He had stick in each hand and close by
 was a pile Of leaves and finder. He had probably been trying to start | fire by rubbing the sticks together.
 "Oh, I could tell you enough to fill | Q big book, but l guess this is enough
