A Tucson dispatch from Dragoon
Summit says the Indians, about 100
strong, crossed the track there on
Tuesday morning, their trail leading
directly towards' Cochise's stronghold,
which is aboift 14 miles westerly from
Tombstone. The cavalry were in close
pursuit and late that evening were
within less than a mile of the hostiles.
It is feared that they will escape into
Mexico. There arc about 400 Mexi-can-trpops
on the line which if notified
in time, can easily intercept them.
Delineations of Deglutition.
"You see," said Bates, as he and
The Astoeiax reporter sat down to
breakfast, "there's a good deal of dif-1
ference in the way different people eat
at these restaurants." So there is,
and it's a study to note the various
phases of human nature. A man
comes in who simply wants a cup of
coffee," and having swallowed it, steps
quickly out; then comes a little man
who glances scornfully around and
asks the waiter "what'ye got?" Hav
ing had his curiosity satisfied, he ex
tracts a bunch of papers, etc., from
his side pocket, and looking to see if
you note what a man of business he is,
con3 and notes them carefully till the
arrival of his breakfast. All through
that matutinal meal he paws at the
victuals and sips furtively at the
fluids, all the time keeping his eye
riveted on a letter or a column of
figures by his plate, as though it had
charmed him. Having practically ex
hibited how time can be economized
at a sacrifice of health and comfort
he runs his hands through his hair,
jabs his documents into his pocket
and achieves a rocket flight through
the door. Next comes a married man
who hastens to explain his unmarital
conduct to a friend, and immediately
falls to eating what is set before him
without a murmur. Ho sazes on the
waiter as if contrasting tho usual with
the occasional and manifests a lively
interest in the whereabouts of that
important individual. The door opens
with a -bang and closes with a dam,
and a man comes in who immediately
orders everything in the house and
finds fault with it, yet keep3 on eat
ing and finally goe3 out in a paroxys
mal fit of wheezing. And then comes
one of "the bo's," a little shaky but
otherwise in good condition. A brief
conversation ensues as to whether the
eggs shall be shirred or poached, and
this being settled with a parting ad
monition as to the nature and quality
of the toast, he gazes languidly out
of the window meditating, probably,
on the mutability of luitnan events,
and wondenncc if he had only been
lucky enough to fill when he called
Pete, instead of only having two pairs
against Pete's pat flush, how different
it might have been. Then comes a
quaintly-acting individual from the
outside, who looks with interest at all
around, and, depositing his hat under
his chair, goes quietly and S3'stemati
cally to work Having finished, he
picks up the aforesaid hat, extracts
therefrom a huge handKerchief,!ooks at
it earnestly as if identifying lost prop
erty, blows a blast upon his nose, re
places his handkerchief in the hat,
and the hat on Ills head, and departs
in peace. Breakfast and lunch time
begin to merge. Bates wipes oil" his
chin and saya 'tis time to go. We co
incide, and, yet, last evening, strolling
homeward in the floating gloaming,
thought it might not be amiss to Mote
what Bates said.
