Near Death in Slide
Do,un Mountdinside

In the early days Samuel Woodwork
COZZens was appointed TO the position
If territorial judge in Arizona. He
served in that capacity for many
years. and Companion readers reveled
IN tales of the frontier in Arizona from
his pen. But, however much he wrote
concerning his own adventures and
those Of his friends. he II elected to
relate in the Companion the story Of
his long slide.
The Judge was in the land of the
Iuni, high on a mountain, when his
foot slipped. In a moment he was
moving down q long, steep pitch on his
back. The slide was bare rock and
fairly smooth, and his speed Increased
momentally. Then his heel struck
projection, and he turned over with
his face forward and proceeded on his
stomach.
Involuntarily he had thrown both
arms forward to save his face, and he
was now scootng down with hands
turned upward at the wrists just
enough to keep his palms from scOur-
ing to the bone His right hand
touched a second projection, and his
fingers grasped On it. The grip caused
his body to slew round sideways His
left hand grabbed tie little flange of
rock and hung on The abrupt stop to-
eether with the swift swing broke his
right arm. but he clang with a death
grip.
IN Old, Wrnkled grandfather Zuni
at the top of the slope, seeing him,
yelled like a coyote and ran for the
pueblo. The judge hung on and wait
ed. Below him the slide ended in
drop of hundreds of feet to jumbled
rock. Presently the Old Zuni re-
appeared bearing several reatas. which
he nimbly knotted into long rope.
Other Indians grasped it, and the old
man started down the slide.
When the Zuni reached the judge he
lCOped the rope round his body below
the arms and with one arm helped him
up. With the judge cinging with his
good hand beside the darker hand OF
the Zuni and the Indians arm round
his body, the men above hauled in
slowly. and the two walked up the
slope much as a Kanaka walks up the
side of ship, when given a rope to
hold by.
Judge Cozzens says in his memoirs
that his slide ripped and wore cloth
ing and skin to shreds. and that
broken bone gave him acute pain; but
| the rpScup and the tender care given
| him made him appreciate the vast diff
! ference between the Apache, whom he
| had fought and the pueblo Indians,
who are essentially men Of peace
