TIE LUST BATTLE WITH THE INCHES
James H. McCUntock writes the fol
lowing fascinating sketch of the last
fight with the Apaches for the Feb
ruayr number of Sunset Magazine:
Exactly east of Phoenix, Ariz., rise
the buttresses of the Superstition
mountains, 40 miles or more away,
yet sharply defined In the ever clear
and dry atmosphere. Square-cut and
frowning, they have an uncanny ap
pearance, suggestive,' perhaps, of a
clump of ancient Rhine castles. The
name came through the fact that the
earliest of the pioneers were told by
the valley-dwelling Pimas that the
eastern hills were "bad medicine" and
that no stranger ever escaped after
penetrating their fastnesses. The ex
planation simply was that the moun
tains were a favorite haunt of the
Apaches, who, from the crags, marked
all strangers long before they entered
the passes of the hills, and lay In am
bush for their victims, where their
airows could not fall of the mark.
It was In 1872 that the first organ
ized effort was made to conquer the
Apaches of the central mountains of
Arizona. In December of that year,
a column of five troops of the Fifth
United States cavalry, with about 100
Hnrtcopa Indian scouts, came upon
the trail of a large band of Indians In
the western foothills of the Supersti
tion range. The trail was followed
Into the wildest part of the mountains
and then was lost on a granite ridge,
nmld a mase of canvnns. lost even to
the sharpest eyes among the Harlco
pas. reputed to be the most expert
trailers In all America.
Soon, however, the scouts discovered
In hiding an Apache brave and a young
Indian boy. The elder escaped, but
the child, who appeared about years
of age. was captured and was forced
to lead the way to the nearby hiding
place of his people, where he had left
his parents only a few hours before,
and from which refuge he had been
commanded by his father to go with
his uncle, who was one of several vl
deltes posted Bgntnst the coming of
the enemy.
The hiding place was a natural for
tress. It was an Immense cave, with
a single entrance opening from the
lip of an Impassable and abysmal
forge, which was almost a part of the
great Salt River canyon. Approach
was by a narrow trail, where one man
could have held back an army. Within
this cave the band of ISO Apaches had
found fairly comfortable, though con
traeted quarters. At daybreak next
morning their surrender wos demand
ed. The Indians only Jeered back In
defiance, confident that they were
fully secured from the riflemen. A
turn In the passage ootstde protected
them from direct fire. The troopers
and scouts, from every possible point
of vantage along the gorge opened
what soon was appreciated to be a
harmless fusllade.
At last a scout discovered that a
sloping granite slab overhung the en
trance to the cave. In a moment his
suggestion had been taken advantage
of and a hundred troopers were using
as a target the smooth side of the
rock, which had such nn angle that a
very hailstorm of bullets was deflected
Into the cave. In a half hour the
commanding officer ordered "Cease
firing," and again shouted to the
Apaches to surrender. No answer
came, nnd no sign of life appeared.
A hold scout crept forward along the
ledge. He heard a faint moaning and,
then, peeping around the angle, saw
an awful sight.

escaped the flying lead. The dead
were In heaps and rows. Mother and
child had died from the same bullet
The walls were scarred where bullets
had glanced again, perhaps to strike
victims who might have otherwise
have been spared. The whoop of the
scout brought other Marlcopas to him
with a rush. With almost diabolic
glee, they started at once killing the
wounded. By the time the troopers
had followed, the bloody work had
apparently been finished. Possibly
the soldiers were careless of the die
tates of humanity, for they had found
the Apache a foe as cruel and as
ruthless aa the tiger.
A few aquaws wene with the Mari
copa scouts. One of these found. In
a heap of half a dozen bodies, a boy
babe, only a year old, lying beneath
the corpse of its mother. The squaw
saved the child and took It back to
her wattled tepee on the Gila river,
south of the village of Phoenix. A
few years later the boy was purchased
by an eastern visitor from the squaw,
who appears to have been a good fos
ter mother. He was given the name
of Carlos Montezuma, and was taken
east and educated, eventually passing
through college and acquiring the de
gree of doctor of medicine. He Is to
day a practicing physician of excellent
repute, residing In Chicago, and Is
occasionally called upon by the gov
ernment to assist In work looking to
the betterment of the physical condi
tion of the Indian tribes. A few
months ago he revisited, for the first
time, the old home of his family, near
San Carlos, on the White Mountain
Indian reservation. By the aid of an
Interpreter, he found little trouble In
hunting up a score or more of rela
tives, for family ties are well main
tained among all Indians.

Gee's 'From ShrllOskt.
Everybody In the whole civilized
world between the eleventh, and the
seventeenth centuries believed that the
"barnacle goose" batched from that
species of shellfish called the barnacle,
The story was first told by Cainbreusls
and was devoutly believed by all Chris
tendom for more than half a thousand
years. A well known scientific writer,
reviewing the opinions of Cambrensls,
ays: "According to our venerable au
thority, the barnacle goose is generated
from logs of wood allowed to decom
pose lu the water. When decomposi
tion has fairly begun, small bumps on
the log may be observed. Little by
little these Increase In size, and finally
assume the form and shape of a mass
of barnacles, which Js well known at
kind of shell flBh. Boon after the
shell, or husk, bursts open and a full
grown goose may be seen in the water
clinging to the log only by Its bill. A
few days longer It continues to draw
Its nourishment from the log, then
breaks away in the form of a perfect
goose, exercising all the functions of
It kind."
Getting- Quick Action.
"The gambling lnstluct, once aroused,
will make the victim gamble with any
thing," said a Detrolter. "I saw two
gamblers meet the other day and In
dulge In a quick gamble with 60 cent
pieces. 'Odd or even T asked the first.
'Odd,' said the Becond. And the man
with the odd date on the coin won.
Bis half dollar was dated 1879. The
Ither was dated 1880. Another game
Is played with dollar bills. It Is 'green
back poker,' and was batched In Wash
ington. Each bill bears a series num-
W say, 900G7G34 or the like. In the
umber cited are two nines and three
sixes a 'full bouse.' The next man
may have a bill numbered 72243890.
Be has, you observe, two pairs.
" 'High wins,' the players say on
meeting, each holding bis bill oat of
sight Then they compare and settle
up. 'Greenback poker' Is a good quick
way to lose a whole lot of money."

Model flleknesa
The pretty girl bad told the artist
that she bad posed before, and on the
strength of that statement she got a
Job. She badnt held the pose ten min
utes before she turned deadly white
and sank to the floor.
"Model sickness," said the experi
enced artist after she had gone. "I
knew she was lying, for the first timers
always get It It Is as well defined a
oomplaint as seasickness and has to be
treated the same way. It la a form of
mauaea and Is caused as much by the
nervous strain the new model Is al
ways under as by the nnusoal experi
ence of standing" in one 'position. I
have bad big, strong men, even ne
groes, go the same way. It Is some
thing every artist has to make allow
ances for, and only practice can cure
It, although I know old models who
till suffer from It especially If they
are In an awkward pose." Exchange.
Some Words Besinlnsr With H.
Most persons aspirate the Initial let
ter of "bumble" nowadays and write
bumble" Just as they write "a hum
bug" er "a humming bird." But there
are very many who would not natural
ly sound an h In "humble," or In
"herb," "hospital," "homage," or even
"humor." Before the nineteenth cen
tury nobody did, though it Is clear that
the aspirate bad become regular by
"David Copperfleld's" time, from the
fact that Dickens harps on Uriah
Beap's "'umble." The Insistence on
the b Is comparatively modern; me
diaeval men not only said "ablt" for
"habit." but wrote It so and the Bible
has "an Hebrew."
Literally Translated.
On visiting Ireland the great traveler
Livingstone was much feted. In Dub
lin nt a dinner party he happened to be
placed next to a literary lady who was
s very stout woman. She worried him
greatly about the language of the sav
age cannibals among whom he bad
managed to live and wanted to know
the sound of their language. He spoke
a sentence of It to Batisfy her, and she
answered, "Being translated, what
does that mean?" "It means," be re
plied, "there Is great cutting on you."
Tobacco Fenaltlea.
The sbah of Persia, In the seven
teenth century, proclaimed that every
soldier In whose possession tobacco
was found should bave his Hps cut;
while In the same century Massachu
setts ordered that "no person shall take
tobacco publicly, and any one shall pay
one penny tor every time he Is con
victed of taking tobacco In any place."

And those will be thy best friends not
