The Experience of an Ex-Soldier
of the Twenty-Fourth
Infantry ,
Summer' * Campaign of Gon.
Qrlorson'n Command Agntnvt
the Indians iu Toms.
in an Clt.v Journal.
Sergeant lohn A. Iluniphroys , a
soldier who has served live years in
iho regular army , is in the city. Ho
is a colored man and was in Co. Jl ,
rweny-fourth infantry. During the
year 1880 ho was in ( ! mi. U , 11. Drier-
urn's command , which encountered
some rough work in the wildsof Texas.
cV part of the most interesting events
of the campaign are hero given , as
they aio narrated by Mr. .Humphreys
in a highly graphic style.
The command under Gen. Griorson
consisted of various companies of the
Tenth cavalry ; a company of Indian
scouts commanded by Lieut. P. II.
Hills , of the Twenty-fourth infantry ,
and ono company of rangers , coin-
nandcd by Capt. Bailoy. A great
portion of the tinio Gen Griorson and
itan" were roaming over the mountains
and plains with no other escort than a
small detachment of eight cavalrymen
ind Sorj't. Humphreys. At Eagle
Spring , Tex. , u supply camp wis es
tablished , and company II , of the
Twenty-fourth infantry , detailed to
[ jnard the camp and supplies. On the
evening of the 28th of July a scouting
party of three cavalrymen and one
Indian guide was attacked by a paity
of Indians , outnumbering them twenty
to ono , and pursued to the camp. One
man was shot through and his horse
badly wounded , while another had his
revolver shot out of his hand. They
were hotly chased. Company G , of
the Tenth cavalry , were soon on the
trail of the Indians , and came up with
them the next morning. The Indians
had surrounded Gen. Grierson and
start , who were on route to Eagle
Spring from Fort Quitman , and a hot
light was in progress. Luckily the
bad hastily constructed a good fort
before the hostilcs came up or ho and
liis party would have been overcome
before assistance could have reached
them. Company C , also of the Tenth ,
came up at the same thud with Com
pany G , and took a hand in the fight.
The battle lasted about and hour ,
when the Indians gave way and re
treated to the mountains. Martin
Davis , of Company C , was killed ,
Lieut. Coladay , of Company G , was
wounded , and several horses were shot
and captured. A number of Indians
were killed , just how jnany is not
known , for the dead were carried from
the field as soon as shot.
THKVVKKE STHAIM'EI ) WON THU BACKS
of their ponies and these followed
their tribes into the mountains with
the dead Indians dangling from their
sides. Gen. Grierson and his troops
went to Eagle Spring after the light ,
where they joined the rest of the com
mand ami got ready to start anew on
the trail.
On the same evening of the fight
and not far from the place it occurred ,
the cast-bound stage was surprised
and captured. The driver , Bob Baker
and one passenger whoso name was
unknown , were killed ; the mail bags
cut up and all mail matter destroyed ,
and the mules were slaughtered and
carried away for food. Sorgt. George
J. Whipplo and a detachment of six
men went out the next morning and
took the bodies of the murdered men ,
together with the wrecked coach , in
to the post. The men were buried
near thu stage station whore there are
the graves of many soldiers and civi
lians who have been killed by the rod
men at different times.
Gen , Grierson with five companies
of cavalry pulled Out from Eago Spring
in a northeasterly direction on the 3d
of August. The line of inarch was to
ward the Gaudaloupo mountains. The
command camped on the night of the
5th at a place called Salt Springs ,
about sixty-five miles from the moun
tains. On thu morning of the 6th ,
immediately after breakfast , a largo
body of Indians was discovered coming
around a curve of the mountains.
There were four or five hundred war
riors and about the same number of
ponies and cattle. The objective
point of the Indians was the very place
Gon. Grierson was then occupying. At
this point was the only water ivithin
several miles. The troops inarched
out and completely surprised the
braves , after a few shots , put them to
flight and they took to the mountains.
Capt. John 0. Gibnoro , Company
II , Twenty-fourth infantry , with his
company and a small detachment of
cavalry , was in command of the sup
ply train and en route for Salt Springs
with supplies for the troops. Coming
in contact with 301110 of the hostilcs
wlu'eh had been routed by Gon. Grier
son , a spirited skirmish took placo.
The men -wero ready and eager for a
fight , and the Indians , seeing that
business was meant , speedily decamp
ed , with a loss of two or more. No
soldiers were killed or wounded , and
the train was saved from capture.
Capt. Lee Boo , Company K , Tenth
cavalry , who was on route to join Gon-
Griorson , camp through the Rattle
snake mountains opposite .SaltSprings
about this time. Ho captured a num
ber of head of rattle and ponies by
gaining access to a largo Indian camp.
Tlio occupants thereof had seen him
coming and vacated without BO much
as making an ell'ort to retain it. Upon
examination it was seen that the camp
was an old one , nnd had probably
been occupied for years , Fiom this
camp the Indiana could look down
upon Grierson's command , Notwith
standing the fact of its moximity , ho
had camped there tovcral days and did
not know of its existence until Capt ,
Leo Boo brought in his reports. In
their haste the Indians left many cattle
tlo half-skinned which they were pie
paring for food. Every day until the
command loft the region , scouting par
tics brought in cattle and ponies abandoned
donod in the ( light of the panic-strick
en enemy ,
It is supposed that a great many of
this band were
WJI1TK AND ( 'OLOItKII
who have deserted from the regular
army. Tins belief is strengthened by
the manoeuvres of the Indians while
in battle. Besides Air. Humphreys
and othcrH who were in thu battle at
Hocky Kidge were close enough to
sco that there were Americans aiming
the enemy , some of whom had < m
soldier's clothes. During this battle
some of the Indians ran great risks m
driving on" horses nnd pack undo *
belonging to the nnny , and succeeded
in getting some awaj' .
At this battle ono man had a must
exi-iting rnco for life nnd narrow i > *
capo from death. lie was a memlu'r
of Co. G , Tenth cavalry. In the lu-at
of the engagement his horse was shut
from under' him. The Indians. n
their ponies , started for him , and Ins
only chance was to tleo for life towaiils
his eonnados , though the bullets \\eu >
llyinij thick and fast all around him.
He seemingly ran into the very f.uv
of death to escape death , and his i- < ! i
cape was almost miraculous. > VluK-
running ho fired over his shoulder
with his lovolvor , and his friends al * ,
began shoot ng at his pursuers. Hum
phreys fired shot after shot , but with
uut effect. Tlio man was almost i > \
hausted , and his bloodthirsty pur
suers about to overhaul him. At this
critical moment a shut fired , either
from his own revolver , or by SOIIIP
Iriends , struck the foremost Indinu
nnd hurled him dying from his pony.
The rest turned and ficd nnd the
bnxve soldier , who came so near death ,
was saved. The lucky shot was liroil
in the very nick of time , and the nun
is living to-day.
On August L' , 1880 , Private Tocnst ,
Co. C , Tenth cavalry , was sent out
with n scouting party from En lo
Spiing. The party , consisting of eight
men , five soldiers and three Indian
guides , came upon a largo body of
the enemy aud were forced to retreat.
The survivors reported that Tocust's
liorso was fagged when they were at
tacked and that ho
MUST HAVI : niir.x KUMI : > .
When last soon he was at the foot of
the mountains and the Indians were iu
liot pursuit
A detachment of Company F. , Tenth
cavalry , while scouting in the Gauda-
lo.ipo mountains , on August 14th , ran
afoul of n party of Indians nnd a hot
engagement followed. The Indians
outnumbered them by great odds , but
by hard fighting they succeeded in
driving the redskins back into the
mountains. At the first volley the
soldiers lost nine horses ; ono man was
also badly wounded. Saturday , Aug- '
list 17th , was a day of rejoicing in
camp for it brought a supply train
with many things much needed by the
men. Not the leant welcome of all
was the mail for everyone. Ollicor as
well as private was glad to receive
word from home , family , and friends.
Private Moore , Company B. , Tenth
cavalry , who had been captured , was
lortunato enough to escape , arrived in
camj ) about this tinio , and confirmed
the suspicion that many of .the suppos
ed Indians were former soldiers who
had deserted. He found many of
them , and by pretending to bo n de
serter himself ho soon found an op
portunity to escape. Afterwards while
coming across from Ba Hoe Moun
tains as a courier to the camp at Eagle
Spring , he again ran into a band of
Indians and again pretended to bo a
deserter and traveled with them until
a chance to escape came , and of this
ho availed himself. This was done in
three dayp. Ho mistook the party for
soldiers until too near to escape with
out detection.
A horse belonging to the Tenth
cavalry has a , remarkable history , and
is called by that regiment the "re
markable horse. " At the battle of
Rocky Ridge it was supposed ho , with
several others , was captured by the
Indians , but on the third day after
wards ho came into the camp at Eagle
Spring , fully equipped , with his bridle ,
saddle , the carbine and
KVEIlYTIIIKn A ( JAVAUIYMAN UhlX
Although the picket lines of the dif
ferent companies joined together , the
horse went direct to his own company's
line and neighed until the guards re
cognized him and took him in. His
rider says this is the third tinio ho has
done the same thing. His biicccss m
escaping from the Indians is certainly
remarkable , and he well deserves the
name the Tenth cavalry have given
him the "Remarkable Horse , " or the
"Indian "
Dodger.
From the 4th of July , 1880 , until
October Serjeant Humphrey's com
pany was engaged in escort duty
between Eagle Spring , Fort Quitman
and Fort Davis , Tex. , while times
were the liveliest there , and no doubt
s.ived many lives. Not a stage coacher
or any kind of n rehiclo traveised
the roads between these points with
out an escort from this company. A
part of the company was statioiu-d at
Fort Qnitnmn , which until then had
been for some time an abandoned post.
But after the campaign of 1880 wan
begun , a telegraph ollico wan opened
there. It was also a stage station ,
While the company was hero Gen.
Jin run was shot and killed when en
route to Now Mexico on mil road busi
ness , Ill's body was taken back to
Fort Quitmnii nnd buried by the do
tnchment.
From the foregoing HOIUO little idea
may bo obtained of a soldier's life on
the frontier. Ho is f.ir away from
homo and friends , in the midst of an
enemy's country , and that enemy is
bloodthirsty and implacable. None
of the comforts of litu can bo obtained ,
but only tits hardships. How many
who rest nt homo in security ever
think of what the defenders of the
frontier endure and undergo for main *
taining that security.

"Say my dear , " said Mr. Spoopon-
dye , ns ho drew n nun from the ease
and eyed it critically , "I want you to
wake mo up early in the motningj I'm
going shooting. "
"Isn't that too sweet ? " ejaculated
' Mrs. Spoopendyke , "I'll wear my
j | new dress and my Saratoija waves.
I Whore do wo so1' ?
I i "I'm going down on the island , and
you'll prolubly go as far as the front
I door , " grunted Mr. Spoopemljko.
j "Women don't go shooting. It's only
iiion. All you've got to do is to wako
mo up and get breakfast. When 1
conio homo we'll have some birds. "
"Won't that bo nice ! " chimed Mrs.
Spoopondyko. "Can you catch birds
\uth that thing ? " and Mrs. Spoopon-
dye tluttered around thu improved
breech-loading shot-gun , firmly im
pressed with thu idea that it was some
Kind of trap.
"I ean kill 'em with this , " ex
plained Mr. Spoopondyke. "That is
a gun , my dear ; it isn't a nest with
three speckled eggs in it , nor is it a
barn with a hole in the roof You
stick the cartridge in hero and pull
the lingor-pieco , and down comes your
bird every time. "
"Well , isn't that the greatest thing ;
I suppose if you don't want a nart-
ridge , you can stick a duck or turkey
iu that end , too , or a fish rn lobster ,
and bring it down just as quick. "
"Yes , or you can wtick a house or a
corn field , or a dod gastod female idiot
in there , too , if you want to ! " snorted
Air. Spoo'pondyko. "Who said any
thing about a partridge ? It's a cart
ridge that goes in there ! "
' "Oh.ejaculated " Mrs. Spoopendyko
rather crestfallen. "I see now.
Where does tko birds go ? "
"Ho goes to night school , if he
hasn't any more sense than you have , "
snorted Mr. Spoopendyke. "Look
hero now , and I'll ' show you how it
works , " and Spoopondyke , whoso
ideas of a gun were about as vague as
those of his wife , inserted the cart
ridge half way in the muvr/lo end , and
cautiously cocked the weapon.
"And when thu bird sees that ho ,
comes aud pecks at iti Isn't that the
funniest ! " And Mrs. Spoopondyko
clapped her hands in the enjoyment of
her discovery. "Then you put out
your hand and catch him. "
"You've struck it ! " howled Mr.
Spoopondyko , who had the hammer
on half-cock , and was vainly pulling
thu trigger to got it down. "That's
the idea ! All you need is four feath
ers and a gas bill to bo a matingalo.
With your notions , you only want anew
now stock and a steam trip hammer to
ho a needle gun. Don't you know
that dod-gasted thing has got to go off
before you get a bird ! You shoot the
birds ; you don't ' wait for 'em to shoot
you ! "
"At home wo used to chop their
heads oil' with an ax , " faltered Mrs.
Spoopondyko ,
"So I would , if 1 was going after
measly old lions , " retorted Mr. Spoop
endyko , who manau'cd to unoock the
contrivance , "but when I go for yellow -
low birds and sparrows 1 go like n
sportsman , While I'm waiting for a
bird , " continued Mr. Spoopondyko ,
adjusting tlio cartridge at the brooch ,
" 1 put the load in here for safety.
And when I see a bird I aim and
fire. "
Bang ! wont the gun ; knocking the
tail-feathers out of an eight-day clock
and plowing a foot furrow in the wall ,
perforating the closet door aud cultni-
minating in Mr. Spoopendyko.s plug
hat.
"Goodness gracious ! " squeaked
Mrs. Spoopondyko. "Oh my ! "
Mr Spoopondyko gathered himself
up and contomrjlated the damage.
"Why couldn't yo keep still , " ho
shrieked. "What'd yo want to dis
turb my aim for and make mo let it
off } Think I can hold back a charge
of powder and a pound of shot while
n , measly woman in scaring it through
a gun barrel ! "
"If it had boon a bird how nicely
you would have shot it ! " suggested
Mrs , Spoopondyko , soothingly. "If
you should over aim at a bird you'd
catch him , sure. "
"Oh ! you know what I could do !
With your information about gun
nery you only need a watl iu your
mouth and kick like a mule to bo a
mountain howit/.or ! If 1 had your intelligence -
tolligonco on sporting subjects I'd hire
out for a shot tower ! Don't you know
you'vo spoiled the dodgastod gun ? "
And Mr , Spoopendyko , anxious for
sonio excuse to take it back to his
friend Snocklowottlo , who loaned it
to him , hold it out and eyed hip wife
sternly. ' 'You've ' ruined that gun , "
ho continued , solemnly. "It won't
over RO oll'iigain. "
"Novor mind , dear , " consoled Mrs.
Spoopendyko , "It's boon off enough ,
and I'd just as lief have some clam aw
birds. You go to bed and wo'll try
and do without birds , "
"It 'von't ever go off again , "
pcated Mr , Spoopomiyko , us
climbed into his couch. "That is
ruined gun , " and ho turned his face
to the wall ,
Mrs. Spoopendyko slowly disrobed ,
having first turned a stream of water
into the gun from the faucet , and betook -
took her to rest. "It may notgo off
again"sho thought , "but if it does
the neighbors will think the water
main has burst , " with which reflection
she began to pat the ear of Mr , Spoo
pondyko , who turned over like an
earthrjimko and wanted to know if she
thought she hadn't done enough mis
chief without lamming him like udod-
gastod blacksmith !
