'CACIUSK , Am Jan. . [ Special
"Correspondency of THK BKK. ] It has
fallen to my unlucky lot to chronicle
'ono of tbfc most horrible and revolting
incidents of all our Indian wars the
buvning to death of a private soldier by
'n band of ( Jhiricahua Apaches on the
desert plains of Arl/.ona during the
internecine strife that wiw carried on
by the government against that truculent -
lent Ravage king , Cochino during the
years ' " 2 and ' 70.
' The story , which is vouched for in the
minutest particulars , and which is on
record among the archives of the war
department , was related to mo yesterday -
day , by a well known and popular of-
fleer of the army , whoso name is with
hold at his urgent request , us the torri-
llo experience I am about to relate was
partly a personal ono , and ho desires no
Uiuluo notoriety at this late day.
CochiHO , it will bo remembered by the
readers of the daily papers of ten yoar.s
ago , wns the king of the Apaches , the
fiercest , most bloodthirsty and war-like
of all the red nations beyond the Mis
sissippi. There is no denying it , this
barbarous chieftain was really a re-
iiuirkablo man , the superior of Teoum-
Boh , and tlio equal of Pontiae or King
Philip. Ho was determined and bravo
to recklessness , intensely sagacious , a
natural orator , posseting a brain of
wonderful fortuity and invention. Ho
was cruel , troaohoreus ana vindictive ,
and carried on his warfare against the
whlto settlers with the romorsoles-siioss
of a flond. There was nothing chival
rous about him on all so hapless as to
fall into his hands were inflicted the
most atrocious barbarities his devilish
mind could conceive.
For years , ever slnco ho had reached
the period of manhood , when through
inheritance ho became the controlling
chief of the ApachcH.Cocluao had waged
a bloody and Biicccbsuil ctrlfo against all
the white emigrants to the terri
tory of Arizona , Ho had sworn
upon his Ufo and the reputation of
his people , that no white man
should erect his lodge within flight of
the Uhlrlcahua mountains that over
looked the hunting grounds of the
.Apaches from the days further back
than history runneth , and , up to tlio
date of the commencement of the final
war , his oath had been kept inviolate.
Scores of venturesome tmtlloni hail pen-
| % * - truted those proscribed limits for silver
'
'or permanent residence only to II ml
their graves there , for Cochiso was as
watchful as an eagle , and the horrible
butcheries written up against his 11:11110 :
uro numberless1.
The foroes of the United States had
.not Infrequently been sought to subvert
( be reign of thofApaclio king , and
muny sanguinary encounters took place ,
but no maintained his imnrognahlo po
sition among the ghostly mm unex
plored recossep of the serrated Chirl-
orthuus ugainst every attempt to dis
lodge him , and sent the disciplined
troops , crippled and decimated , flying
back to Hie forts along the Missouri and
the 1'latte. He laughed in diabolical
exultation at the frantic retreats of his
blue-coated enemies. All sucli under
takings only resulted in rich harvests
of blood , plunder and scalps for the
wild myrmidons ot the tierce Apache
king-
But HO much for Cochiso. In July ,
1S74 , a band of marauding Apaches
stampeded a lot of government stock at'
Fort Larnod , on the Huni river. Gen
eral Scholleld was in command of the
department then and ordered immedi
ate pursuit , and a troop _ of cavalry under
Captain Ualston I will call him by
that name started after the bold red
skins , guided by a Mojave scout , known
to the soldiers as Hassabotch.
For two days they rode hard , unre
mittingly almoat , and yet it was a long
distance to the Chiricahuas , but from
the numerous indications , Captain Hal-
bton knew that the ponies of the Indians
were sorely jaded and he was confident
of overhauling them somewhere upon
the broad desert of the Gila. If such
were not the case the only alternative
for them was to leave the dangerous
territory in all haste , ere Cochiso could
marshal his faithful braves. To bo
hemmed In amidst the grim Chirica-
huis by the Apaches meant nothing
short of total annihilation to thu valiant
troop.
At last the Gila desert was reached ,
and expecting to shortly overhaul the
enemy , the cavalry , with Captain Ital-
bton and TIas.sobotch at their head ,
btruck boldly out upon the arid waste.
About noonday they reached a
stunted chaparral of scraggy cactus ,
acacia and creosote , and drawing rein ,
were &lowly jogging around it. when
suddenly they were brought to a halt.
Away to the southward a bo.ly of
mounted men were seen approaching.
They wore Indiana there was no dis
puting Hint point , but whether
Ajwolios , or H war party of KUHO other
Homadio tribe , hostile to the Apaches ,
and not the government , Ilosbobotoh
as yet could not determine. Ho could
see their stellated lanco-hcads glistun-
ini ; in the sun.shinu , their feathered
crests rising and falling like the waves
of thu ocean , and their long hair and
gaudy raiment lltiuuing in the summer
breeze , ,
They rode promiscuously , following
the lead of a single warrior , who , when
ho reached a point several hundred
yards from the motionless and statues
que llgures of the cavalrymen , uttered
the well-known Chiricauuu about of
war.
war.With the ringing alarm cry of his
nation Hansabotch unslung his carbine ,
and Hlanding almost eroet in his stir
rups , and without waiting for u com
mand to tire , sent a ball among the ad
vancing throng. A prolonged shrioic
came from the Apache party , and a
riderless mustang , kicking up his heels
and snorting wildly , dashed from out
the line as his master writhed in his
doath-throcs un the dcbuit sands.
Of course the result was a pitched
Imttlo , and to abbreviate , it is not nec
essary to state that the cavalry were
routed with heavy losses. The Apaches
seemed to spring out of tlio ground , and
had thu soldier * dared contend with
them longer their fate would luu-o boon
total annihilation.
Ae it was , some ton or twelve were
killed , and Captain Ralston , a private
soldier , named Vorys , and Hassabotch ,
the Mojave , were taken prisoners.
Captain Ualston was knocked
from his liorsu by n rlllo ball
Unit struck him in the sldo , producing ,
however , hut a slight wound. Ho made
no resistance when the Chiricahuas ran
upon him.

together , but not until they had killed
several Indians. They had essayed to
escape , but both their horses were shot
from under them , and for a full half
hour they kept the fierce Apaches pIT.
The Chiricahuas were in a delirium
of excitement , and dismounting , it
seemed as if nothing short of tearing
the helpless Mojave and the soldier
limb from limb would allay their terri
ble animosity. However , the chieftain ,
no less a personage than Cochiso him
self , ordered IB consultation , which
ended with the foreseen result they
wore to suffer instant death to bo
burned to a crisp , then and there !
Captain Ralston , bound hond and
foot , was moved to a convenient place
near these terrible scones , and was
compelled to witness them to their
close.
Ho said that it would be impossible
for him to convoy a suitable idea of the
demoniac ccstacy with which Cochlso's
edict was received by his ferocious and
vindictive followers.
The desert air was made to resound
with their unearthly yells and shouts
of savage joyj and in loss than half an
hour from the capture , two short black
stakes wore driven lirmly in the sands ,
and Iliiasabotch and Vorys stripped of
all clothing , were fastened securely to
them with thongs of buffalo hi do.
Then , for a brief spdco of time , every
Apache was busy gathering the dead
cactus and acacia stalks , which
abounded plentifully there , never rest
ing until huge piles were heaped about
their naked victims.
After thia had all boon
Cochise gave that peculiar shrill war
scream of his people , and the Apaches
nourishing their guns , knives and tom
ahawks , began their torture dance.
Uravo after brave fell Into the whirling
multitude , until the entire war party
was numbered in its dizzy ma/.os. "The
spectacle , " said Captain Ital&ton , "was
one of wildest terror. The fiendish
countenances of those infuriated and
maddeuud beings receiving additional
ferocity from the appalling discord in
which they mingled their unholy
voices.
"Poor Vorys , ho screamed in frantio
horror , prayed and bogged them to
spare his life , then to shoot him , for a
while , but finally his voice died away
in a despairing moan and I doubt
whether ho was ever conscious after
that. ,
"Suddenly Cbohl&o gave a single ,
Hhort whoop , that rang above all the
deafening clamor , and caused an imme
diate cessation of the horrid orirics of
his warriors. Stoopingho deftly lighted
the piles heaped about the forms of
Vorys and the red scout , who at this
moment began to chant the weird and
chilling death song of his nation.
'Greedily the yellow llamos began to
creep up through the Interstices of the
cactus stalks toward their * prey , who
stood seemingly as unmoved as. images
carved from Btone , Voryfl insensible , I
believe , to the torments , and the Mojave
heroically chanting in lugubrious tones
the song that told ho know tiiat there
was no escape from death.
"It was indeed a horrible spectacle
thu flroH growing brighter and fiercer
and throwing the shadows of the half-
naked Apaches in grotesque shapes far
over the desert , as they leaped and
danced and screamed in wildest delight
and exultation around their Buffering
captives ,
"That lonely sjxit upon the great
desert of the Gila appeared like some
ungodly arena or pandemonium , whore
the attendants of Satan had assembled
to perform their wicked and infernal
ritod.
"A scene of terrible torture soon
bogun. The frenzied Apiche.s heated
the steel barlw of their lancet red-hot
in the seething lire aud sent them deep

and continuing to his neck. "
"Homo discharged loads of powder
into his naked llcsh , as they did also
into Vorys , who , in all probability , had
been scared to death by this tinie as ho
never uttered a bound or miulo a move ,
and they left him for Iltibsuboloh. They
would snatch up the burning cactus
stalks and apply them to his logs , arms ,
face and brciibt , and in a , few moments
liis whole form was black and blistered
in the most sickening manner , and yet ,
despite this unutterable excruciation ,
the Mojave never once cried for mercy ,
but continued his awful chant of death
until all was over.
"This horrible torment was kept up
for the period of an hour , and IlaabU-
botch and Vorys wore burned out of all
semblance of humanity.
"Vorys was certainly dead long before
that relief came to the Mojave , but bin
nerves llnally lost their sensibility , and
ho no longer shrunk from the fire
brands applied to his body.
"But at last his indomitable spirit
succumbed , and with a piteous moan ho
sank to the earth , amoiisr the abhes and
glowing omboM of his funeral pyre.
Then as if the demon of htides wore re
joicing over the brutal dead , the
Apnuhcs renewed their dissonant
clamor , and again began their devilish
antics about the dying warrior.
"But the horrible , soul-chilling work
was all over ut Inst , and poor Vorys and
Hnssaholoh , whoso faultless forms , had ,
not more than an hour or two before ,
gloried in the oxurberuneo of health
and fatrongth , lev lifolobs upon the
desert a mass of iiot , scorched , steam
ing and hideous tlesh ! "
Captain Ralbton was driven thatnlght
and the next day to the Apache strong
hold within thi ) Mogollon mountains ,
but was ransomed by the government
after a short imprisonment.

who was once the potted comedy queen

knew her well. About foui yc-ars ago

Once she loft America in disgust , but

Her Insanity is attributed to her
financial troubles. It is more likely
that it was duo to morphine , which she

other society actress whom people are

cussed : ' 'if they would give her a boy's

is a vocal phenomenon. It is not very
uncommon to see a man able to biug a
falsetto soprano , every mitibtrel com
pany has ono or more , but a woman
able to sing a true tenor is very uncom
mon , and Mrs. Jtlaiiic can do it and do
it well. She is handsome , too ; tall ,
blonde , well made , and with a certain
dnsh and gallantry of manner that
would go well with a male part , and
would beyond a doubt attract. But one
of her managers and backers said
shrewdly : "There is no sense
in playing the ace when you've
got the king aud queen in
your hand , The tenor voice and
the masculine dress arc nil very well
in their turn , but what's the use of
throwing away the value of the sym

young soapcirr.ico's brutality to her ?
Lot that work first. She doesn't want

perience of life has buon so hard and
cruel that she can't play anything but
tragedy. And that's very well for the
present. 1'orhaps she doesn't consider
it , but it's true nevertheless , that when
she wtiops on the stage the audience
will remember that .she i a mother of
nineteen and a mother abandoned by
her natural protector , and they'll weep
with her. That's worth a lot of money.
When that is over , why it will bo full
time to work up to the use of her per
