and upon inquiry found they wore "night

ers to look nftor the muloa during the
night nud prevent thoiretrayiug c II. The
wagons they uao for freighting In this
country nro Immense , nnd frequently
there nro 10 span of nuilos in fr nt of
them. Two or three nagons are drawn
along at once , ono behind the other. aftT
thonifnncr of n railroad train. The
wagons behind the first ono nro called
"back-ncti'in" ' wagons , nnd nro owiploU' ,
each ono having n barrel of unter on
either side. Loads of copper from the
mines nro thus hauled to the rnllrond Mix
tions , the trains taking back mcrchandla
from the states. It aoems to me thn
ono of those wagon boxes will hold r
much as n umnll houso. Of course , freigh
ing in this rrny Is slow , but It Is vcr.
sure , nnd the minors nro bound to go
their goods in time , but frequently ngoo
deal of patience is required. K\OIJ lliin

The Avn-Supi Indiana eomo in once ii
a tvhilo from their secluded homes in r
vnlley nenr the Little Colorado river ,
which is nenrly inaccessible. The trai
leads down the eidca of n mountain xrhicl
is very stoop nnd rocky. In this vallo ;
the Aborigines have n nice home , whcr <
they ralso good crops nud remain unmo
loated , our troops never having found 1
necessary to bent up their habitations o :
war upon thorn in nny way. These hnbi
tationo are mostly in n deep canon o
Catnract crook , which rises in the Bil
Williams mountain. Thcso Indians nro
very peaceful , elect their own chief , ami
scorn to progress well onongh. There Is
u conotdorablo strip of good farming lam"
along the crook on which they live , whlcl
is cultivated most successfully by the
Supios. They sometimes leave their so
eluded retreat for the purpose of bring
ing In dried pcnchcs nnd dressed duor
skins , which they barter for cotton goods
nnd other atulla. Eipccinlly do they
drive good bargains with the Mcqi
Indians , whrso pueblo is nbovo them it :
Arizona. Any onu who supposes for nr
instant that n red man does not knov
how to make n good trade is mistaken
From early youth they are trained to
make the most of their worldly goods nnd
look put for their own intereats. A buck
skin in their hands has a vnluo which i
white man iiovcr dreamed of. and it cer
tainly is nstoniahing to see how soon they
learn the value of money.
When a territory is organized , which
Is way in advance of the tide of immigrn

nnd this is trio ; In regard to Arizona

In ISliO 1 wni in the territory , nnd
traveling between Tucaon nnd Camr
Goodwin , wliuii n bind of Apaches
swooped down on n station on the old
overland road , known ns Trcs Alamos , 01
the San Pedro , nnd got p.wny with all o
the stock. Some of the sottlern wor
shot , but before a person could fair ! ;
turn around the damage was done , nnd
the Indiana were oft" among the rock
laughing at the distress they had caused
Fortunately the pirty 1 was with saved
their animals , but the stngo company lost
quite n number of horeea. This occurred
near the place where. Ochoa's train wa
bounced and many teamsters killed , and
not long after that occurrence. I rocol
loot the ekurrylng of the Indiana ns they
awept by on horseback like phantoms
with their black hnir streaming In th <
wind nnd their long lances pushed out before

animals nnd working in that quick , ner

when intent upon nome enterprise. On
party was a small ono. nnd wo had to hi
extremely careful us wo jourucyod along
to prevent the Apaches getting awaj

Bnnighl up on the banks of the Mo-
npngahol.i tlver , In western Ponnsylva-
nin , I rciutitnbcr when Ohio wna n fron
Her state , Among my earliest recollec
tions nro thoao of the singe conches of
Stockton nnd Stokes on the old nnlionnl
turnpike , between the express line bo
twcon lUltimoro nnd the west nnd smith
west. Trains of the white covered emi
grant wngonn en route to Ohio and Indi
ana were noxer out of tight. Later 1
remember vividly what n furore the no-
couuls of Iho wonderful fertility of
Iho prairies of Illinois crealcd
nnd the exodus of settlers from
western Pennsylvania. A few abort
Intervening > c ra , still n mere boy , I
journojcd on horseback from Iho Motion-
gnheln to the br.nka of the Illinois river ,
bearing on my perton the money to pay
for 1100 head of cattle. The money was
in bills of the Monongaholn bank of
Hrownnvillo , nnd Iho Farmers and Dro-
vera bank of Wnynusburg , Pi The is-
cues of Ihoao bnuka were current in
Illinois uhoro the bills of eastern banks ,
and uf all but ono bank in I'tttsbiirg ,
wera nt a discount. At Wheeling , W.
Valaecund Ohio bank nolea to jiiy
my way acrocn the Rt.\to , nud repented
the exchange for Indiana. Tlinnk God ,
the day tif wildcat banks is gone1 The
[ 100 head of cattle had been fed on the
cheap Illinois corn , then nftai used ns
fuel by Iho farmers of the prmrlo coun
try , nnd were driven to Philadelphia.
From the time the grass wns , ns the
funnel n used to say , "knco high to n
duck , " in the early spring till late in Iho
fall when the corn is ripe , droves of cat
tle , sheep , hogs , mules nnd horacn mnde
endless proccstion along the eld drove
rend ncrosn Greene and Kayotto cmmtiea ,
I'cnnsylviuim. But the cowboys of those
days wna nn hiuublo Individual who
trudged on foot either in the lend or
bringing up the ronr of the drovo. Ho
wna nrmod with n long whip made of
plaited lonthor atrips fastened to n ohort
hickory stick. The whip lash from n
half inch in diameter nt ono end gradu
ally swelled to moro than an inch nnd ta
pered to nu eighth of an inch nnd turinl-
tinted in n silk "cracker. " The hickory
whip stick wns about two nnd n half
fcot long , tapering from nn Inch nt
the butt to n half inch nt the top.
IIow nn export cow boy could hnndle ono
of thcRoinalrumonla ot torture ! Many
of tnem were ambidextrous. Swinging
the long lash above their headn witli n
quick jerk they would produce a report
as loud as thnt of n huntsman's ' rillo. In
deed thu aimiliarity of sound gava rice to
the saying : "Whip like report of the
Kentucky rillo. " Tao ordinary drive
of a drove of cattle was from six lo ten
milcB a day. A long and tudioun journey
from Illinois to Phlladolphin ! But the
con boy was a superior being ( o the hog
driver. The latter was a dfapiacd orea-
luro. The former boya always saluted
them with "S'long ! forty conla a day
nni no dinner ! "

The big corn story linr Is abroad in the
land. One sf our South Plait country
exchanges gets off the following : "Tho
ll'tlo son of Mr. B , living west of
town , got a ladder the other dny nnd
stood it up against n cornstalk. He then
took a saw nnd climbing up i.bont
twenty feet lo the first car , ho proceeded
to straddle the car and saw It oil' , but un
fortunately ho sawed between himself
and the stalk , and was thrown lo the
ground , breaking his arm. " That's the
story. Now , then , oomobody hold our
coall Wo didn't intend mentioning a
fact that his como lo our knowledge , but
when n South Platte prevaricator at-
tompta to down this aeclion on ( ho corn
question , wo will rend him facts. List
Saturday , while in conversation with Mr.
Ed Jenkins , ( f Kalamazoo , Iho reporter
learned that nn ilicit distil
lery was in operation in one
of the ravines near his residence , and
the government WHS therefore being
defrauded out of a largo amount of
rprenuo. It appears that a man ar
rived in that neighborhood some iimo
since , and one night , with the aid of
a gang of labirers , dynamite , crowbars ,
etc , ho succeeded in prying oil'a kernel
of corn from n big pri/.o ear in I' ' ] I'D Hold.
It wns then loaded on to.x atorm-boat nnd
hauled into the ravine. 'I'ho ' man then
bored into the kernel of corn with n two-
inch augur , put in a faucet , and now has
nn unlimited supply of pure corn jnlco on
till ) , Thu revenue ollicera should look
into this matter. When n ( irot clnsa lie
