Iciiilnl9cancc § ,
During the past two wooka tlio friends
of Captain John G. Uourko were iima/ed
Jlo rend in n number of papers flattering
obituurios of the gallant troopor. The
cause of these pronjiituro tributes wua
an uufoundod report to the effect that
the captain was assassinated at Sun An
tonio , Tex. , while testifying at the trial
of ono of Gar/.a'a border rufllanq. The
Report was promptly dented , nevertheless -
less the incident created much excite
ment In Omaha , whcro Captain Bourke
spent many ydars and Whore ho led to
the altar ono of Pmahn/sfalr daughters.
A writer In tlio Press of Philadelphia ,
whore Captain Bourkq.wns born , gives
an interesting sketch of his career on
the Texas border. "Karly In the GO's , "
10 writes , "Uourko gradtintcd from
Vest Point. Ho was ti member of the
i'iftconth Pennsylvania , or , us it was
jotter known , tlio Anderson cavalry ,
anklng as a second lieutenant. In 18b7
10 joined the Third cavalry , then sklr-
nisliine in Arizona under direction of
onoral Ctook. ItMIS there that
mot Captain Efurko. Crook
nado him * his uido and placed
mu'h confidence in his ability and
courage.
' 'Tho bloody wnr with the Aunches
vas soon in progress and for four years
vo fought the red men until thoy'woro
ubdued. Bourke was a splendid lin-
juist and frequently acted as an olllclal
ntorurotor between the Spani&h-spoak-
ng Indians and General Howurd , who
initcd General Crook's command with
iis own.
'I have many recollections of Bourko's
usefulness in such a capacity. lie was
i witty man and a clover story toller.
Some of his Bparo time wns also pasbed
n writing articles on military topics. I
) oliovo several years ago ho wrote a
book giving Ins experiences in the
army , lie was very popular \\ithhis
associates and comrades in arms. When
it Omaha with General Ciook ho was
nairicd to the daughter of lion. John
illarbach. .
'When the Indian troubles in the
Yellowstone country bioko out , Captain
3ourko was ngain with General Crook
ind participated HU Iho light on Koso-
> ud river , \\lion&in.inp Bull hold our
'orcos back and then drew away only to
'
annihilate General Ouster's ' 'band of
iravo men.
"About two years ago when Captain
Bourke was dot < llod to join General
Stanley's command , then regulating af-
ahs along the McMcan border , and iho
chuso alter Garza , the outlaw , gave him
ample opportunity to bo of excellent
service.
'Capt'iinBouiko'schioi prominence as
a United States army ollleer dates from
, ho Gar/.a guerrilla warfaiowhich grow
lorn a spasmodic uprising into a con
certed revolution against the Mexican
; oeminent. . The tsolf-styled "rovolu-
aonists" in Captuin'Bourko's
were , own
angungo , "bandits * * * who have
a porfeot organisation , a good system of
signals , know the country thoroughly
and , being without unifoim , can turn
themselves into innocent ranchmen and
goat herders in live minutas. "
"It wns on December 2 ! ) , 1891 , that
'aptaiu ' Ilardie of the Third cavalry ,
stiuck a camp of about 200 Gnr < : a fol
lowers in dense chaparral near the
ranch of Garcia , Gar/a's fathor-in-law.
Captain Brooks' Texas rangers and
troop A , Third cavalry , and a force of
deputy marshals wore the American
vanguard. These attacked the bindits.
who reined. Captain Bourke , as Cap
tain Hurdio says in his ropoit , w.is
along as a volunluor.
" 'Those bindits , ' savs Captain
Bourko's report , Scattered in the clmp-
airalat sundown , and I do not think
tbcv ' will light much unless they got in
the'toilb. '
"Gaiva , meanwhile , ioali/.ing that his
'causo' wns looked upon with suspicion ,
tried to rehabilitate himself \\itli the
natives on the Mexican side. This ro-
suUi'd in a temporary accretion of hie
force. The people made a scant living
herding and working as agricultural
labotoisand were easily induced for : i
time to join the revolutionary standard
of Gar/a.
"Gar a's scheme , backed by a large
amount of money , contemplated the
declaration of a lonublic under the con
stitution of 1877 ns Boon as the northern
otrotch of Mexico had boon cut off by
military cordon 8. This design wns
pleaded by Gar za in extenuation ol
many plundering expeditions. The base
of operations was on the United States
side of the Rio Grande , in Texas , and o
concerted movement upon Mexico wag
what it became necessary that Uncle
Sam's troops should prevent. There is
no doubt that the antiDinclement in
Mexico gave the constituted authorities
of Unit .republic much concern for u
tlmo.
"Meanwhile Captain Bourke was fn
commard nt Fort Hlnggold , along the
line of hostilities. Captain Bourke sent
to Assistant Adjutant General Martin ,
at mililnry headquarters in Sun An
tonio , Tex. , for good guides nnd bcouts ,
"This loquost was complied with , anil
an aetho campaign of strategy wm
opened by Captain Bourke , in cooperation
tion with other detachineniH , moving
separately , under command of Ilardit
and others. The revolutionists novel
alTotdcd a chance for open battle , but
divided tlicmsohca Into loving bands
which had to bo hunted out in luin.
