NELSON ]. RILEY WAS WITH U. $. CAVALRY IN ARIZONA IN 1870

Some of the interesting experiences through which early troops in Ari- zona troops lived are told by Nelson J. Riley of Yuma, a member of Troop E, Eighth United States cav airy, when that military organiza- tion came to this state in 1870. His story, in part, follows:
 Late in the winter of 1870. a part of Troops E and H of the Eighth cavalry, then stationed at Fort Win gate. N M., in charge of Major w. R. Price and Capt. A. B. Kaufman, were ordered out to Camp Apache, located on the southside of the White mountains. Reports at Fort Wingate said that Indians had killed the post trader and many whites and escaped to the mountains. I believe that in those days that district was a tenn porary reservation. At least, it was before San Carlos was established.
 We camped at Camp Apache one
 night and then took the trail to the
 Black river canyon. then on to the
 Pinal mountains, where we camped on Pinal creek. We had not been in camp long before one of our scouts discovered flying from the top of a small mountain peak nearby, flag of truce. The flag was a dirty rag tied to a small pole.
 'MaJor Price d1Spdtched a scout to bring in the Indian chieftain for a conference. The chief appeared and a short confab was held. He then departed and returned in short time with nine braves. Examination showed that they were some of the same Indians who had participated in the depredations.
 Major Price ordered an elaborate meal for the Indians and after par taking heartily of the foodstuffs they | told him that on the following day | they would accompany him to the | Indian camp in the mountains Witt | that understanding. soldiers and In. dians made ready for the night. | When the morrow dawned," MT Riley continues, mot an Indian wa.

scout and guide. a Navajo, who had accompanied us into Arizona rom Fort Wingate. During the night the Indians had slipped out of the camp one by one.
 We took up their trail as soon as camp could. be broken. We followed it throughout the day and that night camped in the foothills at the south end of the Pinal range and near the Gila river. That night we established two posts of videttes, one on each side of camp, and on top of two hills overlooking the camp. Here oc- cured a little incident that might have been disastrous to our party if I had been as sleepy as the rest the three sentries. We were about a quarter of a. mile from camp. and we piled up some rocks so as to make wall about two feet high. We secreted ourselves behind this wall to shield us from marauding Indians. We had agreed to stand watch in two hour shifts.
 For hours we talked of the hap penings of the day. After again on watch and the dangers on all sides, we turned in for the night, leaving one man on guard.
 T was finally awakened by a strange noise I could not tell what it was and, looking around bit to get my bearings, I noticed my two companions sound asleep by my side Then I peered out over the wall. Not over 30 feet in front of us stood the talest Indians I have ever seen. A perfect silhouette was afforded me for he stood in the direct rays of "a bright moon, about three hours high He held long spear in one hand and bow and arrow in the other
 T dropped back and grabbed my carbine. As I did so the boys then jumped to their feet When I again peered out over the wall, gun to my shoulder and ready to fire. the h. dian was gone.
 There was no more sleep thai night for our little party As soor as 1t got light enough in the morn ing. two of us slipped over the hill tc big wash and very sandy Hun dreds of tracks were plainly visible on the sands. We immediately re- turned to camp and reported the in cident to the commanding officer. Pursuit of the Indians continued again that day" he concluded.

SAI1 RIVER VALLEY
 E.ICI IN SPIRIT IF
 'GnEAT OUTDOORS

The Salt River valley was rich in the spirit of the great outdoors" dur ing the early stages of it's develop ment. Mrs. Clara Willy Meyer, 36 years a resident of the valley, de clared recently An interesting story oe her experiences in Arizona fol- lows:
 arrived with my parents at Mar icopa. October 19. 1884, then a child of ' years We were met at the sta tion by our uncle, John LutgerdiOg, We traveleG the remainder of the night in d big wGgon. drawn by four horses. and arrived at our uncle's s ranch west of Phoenix about 2 o'clock the next morning.
 We stayed there for a few weehs and then moved to what is now known as the Cook and Laird ranch. As land was at that time open for settlement. father homesteaded place across from the ranch men toned, where we lived for several years.
 The ranches were unfenced with the exception of a small pasture here and there. The country had been sur veyed and the sections were all laid out. Along the roadside were sage brushes and water noodles as high as a man on horseback, while the ground was covered with all kinds of wild flowers.
 Tn those days there was plenty of game. The roadsides and woods were alive with quail. jack rabbits and cottontails. Wild duck and geese were very plentiful and some times deer would come in on the ranches. At night, one could heal the weird bark of the coyote com ing from all directions.
 After the harvest seasons were over the Indians would go on rab- bit hunts. Sometimes there would be as many as two or three hundred of them, with feathers in their hair on horseback, and strung out to GOV CT a distance of about five miles headed for a large grain field. Wher they reached the field they would form into two groups One group out the rabbits, while the othe' group stayed In the open to kill tn, rabbits with bows and arrows a. they came out of the brush. The hunt often lasted for three or foul days. Then the Indians returned tt their reservations.
 The land at that time was nev and did not need the attention it nov requires. There were no Bermuda ol Johnson grass to contend with
 The water system was owned b, the ranchers They built their owr canals and when the time came t clean it each rancher would send men and horses to do his share.

ANDREW KOzIK WAS EARLY PROSPECTOR

Andrew Kozik, now a resident of Wickenburg. is one of the veteran prospectors of the state. He came to Arizona from Colorado in 1878. reaching Prescott March 20. of that year.
 and Henry Wickenburg set out across the Yuma desert to prospect for a rich gold mine Wickenburg had dis covered in 1862. For two months they remained in the field without success and were finally obliged to give up the task because of thirst
 For two days and two nights, Ko- zik writes, the two proSpectors were without food or drink, save the lit tie moisture they secured from the cacti and night blooming cactus.
 In 1884, Kozik went into the south

A.F. BANTA ONCE WAS
 TIED ID STAKE TO BE BURNED BY INDIANS

The following amusing account of an incident that might have ended tragically was written by A. F. Ban ta of Prescott, who has a statewide reputation for his knowledge of h. dian life and lore:
 My first acquaintance with the Coyotero Apa ches was in 1865. Es- ca-pah. the chief, received permission from Gen. James H. Carleton to re- turn to his people from the Navajo reservation where they were then living, to their own country, which was known as Apacheria. When they returned to Apacheria I put in my time between this tribe and the Zu- his.
 The fierce Finals claimed the coun try west of Ci-bi-coo as far as the Sierra Pintado. Bah dah -clah- nah was chief and his band numbered 800 souls. The CoyoteroS numbered only 2S warriors including the chief. In the summer of 1869 I crossed over the boundary line into the country of the Finals, and coming in sight of a rancheria, I walked boldly into camp
 The attitude of the savages was cool and not a bit cordial, and I knew that it would not do to show any distrust or to try to get away. Il so happened that on that very eve ming large party of warriors re- turned from the rancherfa and Il seems that they had had a brush with the troops somewhere to the southward and had lot several men Naturally they were not in good humor. as least as far as the whites | were concerned.
 That night a majority decided tC burn me at the stake in revenge fol their losses. Although was unaware of the feeling against me. hoped thal my known connections with the Coy oteros would pull we through the diff ] ficulty. The following morning, how
 ever, I was seized and bound to { green pinon tree with both arms tiee | by my side. While the old womer were gathering dry sticks for th' 1 forthcoming barbecue. a young bucl with lance displayed his agility b, 1 Jumping forward and backward whil'
 making vicious jabs at my body witt l the lance, thrusting it between m, 1 body and arms. This sort of monke. business did not deceive me a littl' i bit, for I knew it was done to fright
 en me, with the intention of killing me. To kill me would have put al end to the proposed festivities.
 Now I am so constituted that I can not help laughing at anything of humorous or ridiculous nature, n matter what the circumstances ma, be. It so happened that the youni buck jumped backward at the pre- ! else moment when an old woman
 stopped forward to pick up a stick
Arizona republican., 1921-04-13

 The Indian fell. Knocking the old woman down and thwacking the ground with his lance. This so in- censed the old woman that she turned loose on him and ''bawled him out in first class style. The young fel low gathered himself together and slunk away from the stream of vii tuperation that followed him. His stunt having ended in such a ridic- ulous manner I began to laugh, and in a few minutes the warriors, having also seen the absurd side of the af- fair, also began to laugh. At this the old woman became hotter than ever. She turned, shook her fist at me and the laughing warriors, and i then threw her bundle of sticks to the ground and left in a huff
 After a few words between the
 chief and his men he came to me and saying "Enju chalman," he cut the cords and I was free.
 Indians have some sense of humor but not a particle of romance.
