rustH uHiilo tlioi-m-oi of business , lights

c Mice desk , the vMtoi- may know that
fcninothing of interest is coining. It was
at just such a moment that a reporter
for thu MnlTiilo Kxpie-9 happened into
his olllco ( lie other tif tot-not n.
The talk was upon one mibject and an
other until it drifted into the tUbem-Mon
r f long-distaneo ride- . , when the captain
broke in with the following personal ex
perience :
"In the fall of TiV f-aid he , as he
throw away the half linished eigar and
lighted his corncob pipe , "I waa bee-
end lieutenant in troop A of the Seventh
ravalry. Wo had been ordered into
western Kan'-as togetlier with battery 1 ?
ff the Fourth artillery and the Thirty-
teventli infantryto drive thoC'heyennes ,
I'omaiu-hes and Arapahoe Indians back
to their reservations. These tribes had
been oil on their usual summer cam
paign and bad murdered many settlers ,
plundered more emigrant trains , and
stolen more sleek than even the cold
blooded Indian bureau could stand.
They had been giving us a pretty lively
ehai-e all summer , and now that the
nights had become colder and the
chances for plunder fewer they had as
K-mbled to have a big medicine daneo
before returning to the reservation and
the winter tmpi'lies of Uncle Sam.
"After considerable maneuvering and
munj hard nun dies General Htim-i ek ,
\\w was in command of the expedition ,
fiiieeededt in surrounding thorn , and it
looked as if ho had Dually ended the
campaign. Hut you can never tell what
an Indian will do , as wo found out thl.i
time.
Tliny I.It Out.
"Several dirty old rascals , who wc-e
Huppoted to be the big men of the tribe
came up to the general's tent and de
manded a pow-wow. As they are hard'
to shake off as a newspaper reporter ,
the general was hbliged to accede. They
wanted a week to get all their young
men together and they wanted heaven
knows what besides , but they got one
day of grace and then they wore to
move.
"Wo had them encircled by a line of
sentries from the Thirty-seventh , and no
cue imagined that they would try to
break away. They did , though , and
when the reveille bounded the next
morning there wasn't an Indian to bo
been excepting a few old men and
bquaws.
"Of courfeo , that meant work for the
Seventh , and away wo went after them ,
Glister riding ahcad } dressed in a huek-
kin hunting suit , his long yellow locks
( lowing in the wind , and looking as he
must have looked that day when ho rode
to his death on the Big Horn. Ho was a
gallant oillcor , and there wasn't a man
in the Seventh who wouldn't have died
for him.
"For three days wo chased them to
ward the 1'latto river , and , although wo
ran into many small bands woiliil not
come up to the main body until the
afternoon of the fourth day. About
noon our scouts told us that several
thousand Indians were a few miles away
j.nd as Custer could not attack them
without orders it was necessary for
bomo one to go back to Hancock for in-
tttnuition.s.
"Wo had been informed by couriers
that the general was at Fort Lamed , ISO
miles from our cam ] ) and the , Interven
ing country was filled with roving bands
of hostile redbkins. No ono bcemcd
willing to make the attempt , for it was
almost a dead certainty of death or oven
worse than that.
"At last t'ustor , with his usual im-
potuosHy , declared that ho would make
the trip himself. A young tun-goon ,
whose name I cannot recall , as lie did
not belong to our regiment , a prhato
and the Drst sergeant of troop II and
myself were his only companions. Wo
loft camp at a little after 2 o'clock , and ,
I toll you , I thought 1 had seen the last
of the dear old Seventh.
' Wo were well mounted , and , of
course , as Custer was our leader and
guide , we rode fast. All the afternoon
wo went at a pace that seemed to knock
one's very tcoth out and made his body
feel as if ho had been through a rolling
machine. Not a living tiling had wo
Been since leaving camp , but that did
not reassure us any. for it was no tolling
how many of the o devils had seen us.
A Itlclu for l.lfc.
"At 8 o'clock , just as the stars began
to burn britrhtly over our heads , wo
halted on the banks of a small creek and
took the baddies otT our tired animals.
Without a word the whole party , ex
cepting the sergeant and his man , throw
themselves upon the grass , and , with
ono hand holding onto the bridles of the
horses , wont sound to bleep.
"i'erhaps I had been asleep half an
hour it wasn't longer than that , any
how when 1 was brought to my feet lly
the report of a carbine near at hand' .
Before 1 could got on to my horse the
whole prairie was alive with' horsemen ,
who began pouring a regular volley into
our bivouac. Urging my horse through
the bushes on the bank , 1 forded the
creek and struck out toward Larned as
us fast as horsollesh could carrj me. The
yells and howls Iwhind me told only too
well what 1 had escaped , and I had be
gun to congratulate m'ysolf upon being
alive when I heard the sounds of rapidly
approaching horsemen. It was toj dark
to sou how many of the devils 1 had to
light , and so 1 spurred on my horse and
got my revolvers ready for business.
"Nearer and nearer came the thud ,
thud , thud of pursuing hoofs , and I
realized that I would huvo to make a
light for it , anyway. I could now hear
the Banting of the hoi-bes , and , turning
in my raddle , 1 determined to try one
shot for hu-k. Bcforo I coulu get
my revolver from ita bolster , Ouster's
well known voice hangout with : They've
lixcd the Burgeon and the rest , I'm
afraid , and will bo after us in a moment.
We'd bettor keep ou to the fort,1 uud ho
dashed up to my sltlo , followed by two
riderless Htcedn.
"For about an hour wo kept up the
killing jmce wo wore going , and then ,
hearing no sounds ot pursuit , wo cased
down a bit and rode on In silence.
"To make a long story short , wo
paused under the gales of Port LarnoJ
at 0 o'clock the next morning , having
ridden IfcO miles in sixteen hours with
only ono hour's rest. This ride is the
longest and quickest I have over heard
of , and Is known In the west a < one of
the narrowest escapes General Cu&ter
over had.1
A Ilnmh with ( torntilmo ,
"A year or two before this ride , " con
tinued the captain , "I wa * serving with
my regiment In Arl/.ona. where I saw
some pretty lively times : and perhaps
you'd like to near a yarn or two about
them.
"There was a mail route In the south
ern part of Ai-ix. Jtia that was known
throughout all of that country a.a ono of
the toughest in the west. It was 115
miles lohg from Tucion to Camp Bowie ,
and the trail , oven under tliu most favor
able onditlons , was not ono that a man
would go over often for fun. General
DevetH , who commanded the district ,
had tried in every possible way to keep
C'amp Bowie connected with the rest of
the world. A sergeant and ton men
were detailed to carry this mail , but on
every trip some of them were wiped out
by the Apaches.
"Disgusted at last with the manv fail
ures and loss of life , the general very
widely came to the c inclusion that it
would bo safer to have that mall carried
by ono man. The sc-mts who wore al
ways hanging ah nit Tucson laughed at
the idea of one man making thistrip _
alone , and not oven the reward of $500 a
month w.mld tempt any of them to take
the risk. Hearing of the olTer , and car
ing more for the reputation it would
give mo than I did for the money , t said
I would try to got the mail through. I
had the pick of all the animals in the
quartermaster's corrals , and from those
I chose six of the be.it mules 1 could lind.
I toolc mules , for the trail was a rough
ono , the most of it through the
White Sulphur mountains , and these
animals are sure-footed and swift. A
round trip once a week was the extent of
my labor , and as I made these in the
night time with only one change of
mules half way between the two places
it was about all I could do. And I may
state right here that I was never more
than twelve hours making the run , and
once or twice went through in oven less
time than that.
"You've all heard of the rumpus that
half-breed Apache , Goronimo by name ,
has been kicking up in Arizona ? Well ,
I had a little experience with him ono
night , and I'm not anxious that it should
bo repeated , either.
"One night while on one of my trips ,
as I vtai passing through a lonely tract
whore the willows grew very abundantly ,
my mule suddenly stopped stick still.
Sliding quickly to the ground I unslung
my carbine and waited for developments.
After a few seconds of silence , during
which my heart was beating like a trip
hammer , a voice called out in Spanish :
'Is that you , SkeelsV
" 'Put up that gun , ' said the voice ,
We've { jot you this time. "
"Knowing that resistance would bo
Useless , I dropped the stock of my car
bine to the ground and listened for fur
ther instructions. A rustling in the
underbrush about mo , the snapping of a
few twigs , and I found myself com
pletely surrounded by about 200 painted
Apaches.
"Geronimo , for it was ho who had ad
dressed mo , appropriated my whisky
llask and after convincing himself that
he had drunk the last drop , ho fcaid :
" 'We've got you this time , Skeols. '
" 'Give mo your money and your am
munition,1 ho replied , his eyes twinkling
with greed ; and I handed it over to him
without a word.
"After ho had opened every letter in
my mailbag ho told mo to get on my
mule and 'git , ' and I took him at his
word and got out of that locality as
fast as my mule would carry mo. I have
never been able to understand why ho
did not shoJt mo , a4 ho could have done
so without my ever knowing who pulled
the triirger. The only way I can account
for his forbearance was that ho feared
his hiding place would bo di&cjvered
if I failed to appear on time. "
Out. of the .laws ol Dentil.
"On ono of my last trips , " the captain
went on , "I was accompanied by a young
follow named Jim Wright , who had just
resigned a lieutenant's commission in the
army. Ho was a nice , gentlemanly young
follow , the only son of a So itch noble
man. Having had &ome trouble at ono
of the universities in Glasgow , the old
man had disowned him , and the boy ,
crossing the Atlantic , had enlisted in
the union army. After the war , lie ob
tained a commission in the regular army
and was sent to Arizona , where he
served for several years. Meanwhile
his father , learning of his whereabouts ,
had come tj this country and induced
him to resign and join him in Now York.
' So Wright was on his way to civili
zation with mo , ana as wo rode along in
the beautiful starlight night , smoking
and talking , bo told mo all about his
homo in So > tlaud , which ho had not
seen for eight years. We were both in
the best of spirits and had not ono
thought of danger. About half way up
the trail stood a largo tree , called the
lone tree , and when wo got to it 1 told
, Iim to got olT and tighten up his saddle
girths.
" 'What's that for ? ' -
s-aid Jim. as ho
proceeded to do as I had directed.
" 'Wo may run into some redskins
down yonder , ' said I , 'and if wo do we'll
have to run for it.1
" 'Redskins , ' laughed ho , as wo swung
back into our saddles , 'why it wasn't ton
minutes ago you told mo you had made
a do/en trips without booing a sign of
one.1
" 'But that's no reason why wo
shouldn't bo careful , ' I replied , and wo
rode on , thinking nothing more about
it.
it."A
"A little while after this wo were
obliged to ford a creek where a few
weeks before I had had a little brush
witli a few Apaches. As wo neared this
ford my mute began to act in a peculiar
manner and i suspected that something
was wrong.
"Mini'bald I , unslinglng my carbine
and loosening my revolvers , 'Jim , we're
going to have a little oxcitomont. If
they drop mo , you got into Camp Bowie
as soon as you can. IJjn't try to light if
you have a chance to run. '
" 'All right , pan ! , ' ho replied and
pulled his own bulldog out to look at it.
"By this time wo wore descending the
bank of the creek and still I had been
nothing to warrant my suspicions. Before -
fore wo were half wav over , bang wont u
revolver and the bullet whittled bj our
ears. Dashing the spurs into our mules
wo jumped out of the creek and Mow up
the trail , I leading and Jim close behind
mo.
"BangI bang ! bangl The balls were
Dying around us , but wldo of their
marks. The mules wore now going on a
dead run , when crash ! down I went onto
the ground , my animal having stumbled
over a stone.
"Ho waup in a second and I was on
his back , but my right arm hung limp at
my side , I could hear Jim's mule pound
ing along close behind mo , and then
everything grow dark I grasped the
pommel of the saddle with my left hand
and fainted dean away.
"When 1 cauio to myuelf , I was Btill In
the saddle and Hying up the trail. I
could hear nothing of Jim , nor any
sounds of pursuit , and I concluJcd that
he must have led them of ! some other
way. I listened to hear the hoofs of
their horses but not a Bound eamo to my
oars , excepting the howling of the coy
otes down by the creek. All was still
and I believed that .11 in had got away.
"I saw his body the next day when it
was lying In state In the barroom of the
hotel. It was riddled with bullets and
both of His legs had been torn oil by the
coyotes , but not a hair of his head had
been touched.
"He had sent his last bullet through
his heart and the Apaches had left his
body as U had fallen. "
HE KISSED PATTI.
Uorurnur Crlltemlen of Mlmourl nnil the
( li-iMit I'rlni.t Doniri.
A couple of weeks ago there transpired
In the city of Washington , D.'C. , a thing
the exact modus oporandl of which Is In
teresting to people with ordinary every
day Intellects , says a writer In the Chicago
cage Inter Ocean. The nomination by
1'rosidenl Cleveland ot Thomas T. Crit.
tend'Mi of Missouri to the consul general ,
ship of Mexico is the thing Itself : iner-
osting enough to Mr. Crittenden and ths
family and some other people , it pales
into insignificance when we see how Mr.
Cleveland came to make the nomination.
But that's just It. Wo don't see how ho
achieved this thing , and can only sur
mise and wonder.
Mr. Crittcmlen's fame rests upon two
events. Following one of the most
spirited gubernatorial contents ever
known in the state , ho was
elected by the largest democratic
majority ever cast in Missouri , lie
issumed olliee at the time when the
lames gang torrori/.ed the state. Not a
railroad whoso directors slept easily. In-
illonsivo men were shot down like dogs
because they wore , unfortunately , stand
ing behind a cashier's desk , and this in
the broad glare of the noonday , and
capitalists looked over and beyo'nd the
great prairies and rich ore harboring
in mntains ; and c immorcc slacked , and
credit waned ; and a great stuto lan
guished because terror-stricken , cowered
hopelessly under the daring , invincible
reign of the gang of outlaws and des
peradoes known as the .lames boys. Crit-
tendon grasped the situation. With an
ingenious mind and iron will ho sot in
motion and sustained to the tlnish the
train of events that led to the final ex
termination of the band. Not only this
feat , but the manner in which it was ac
complished , made the name of Critten
den familiar. The history of Missouri
can not bo written and that name left
out , nor the ethics of morals discussed
and fail of finding pertinent material in
thio career.
Now read this : Eight years ago when
Senators Cjckroll and Vest approached
President Cleveland concerning the ap
pointment of Minister to Mexico and
submitted Crittouden's name , the gen
tleman in tlio chair drew himself up and
in emphatic manner exclaimed : "Ira-
possible , gentlemen , impossible ! Not
for umjiiumtcjuld I entertain the idea. "
Being preyed , ho gave a.s his reason for
this feitniptory dealing tlio ex-
govornor's recent connection with the
James matter. Now tlio question is ,
what has caused the remarkable
change in the presidential mind ? Is it
bv-causo his own little stocking-log , and
consequently his sympathy" with the
poor Missouri fellows , has become more
distended ? Or is it true , as history
anil-ins , that the heretic of ono ago is
the saint of the next , or has the presi
dent , just like women and our good
Mayor Harrison , reserved to himself
the divine right of changing his mind ?
* * * * x *
Mr. Crittendon kissed Patti.That Is
the second famous incident in this
gentleman's history. Hero is a truthful
account of the affair :
The lastswaet notes of "Homo , Sweet
Homo , " had quivered along the per
fumed air ; had quivered along and died ;
madame had smiled upon the vast audi
ence and departed , bo had Mr. Critten
den departed and the other people.
Madame a'-rived at the hotel ; niudamo
stepped into the parlor by the north
door ; Niculint was down in the kitchen
quarreling with the chef. Mr. Critten
den entered the parlor by the south
door ; Mrs. Crittenden was upstairs
tukinir oil her b mnot. Tlio eyes of the
thrillo- ; and thrilled met. And it hap-
noncd that some lady saw it and ran
quick to summon a reporter. Madame
smiled and would say nothing ; Critton-
den murmured in a faint , dreamy tone ,
' that was sweeter than 'Home , Sweet

CHICAGO , 111. , May G. There 'T.IS n boomlnR
wheat market today , bordeiIng almost upon
pxcltcmcnt several ll-'es. A fair speculnlho
business wns transacted and the feeling de
veloped was stronger ami prices showed a
further advance , the close being 2c higher.
In corn the mnrket was actlvo most of the
session , price changes covering from $ c to
'iC rnnge , closing with a slight gain. Oats
advanced from stc to 5c and closed strong at
the outside prices. Poik closed 07'iC ' higher ,
and lard and ribs lOc above yestei day's last
flgiiles , with amodernte trade only.
The wheat market opened with buyers by
the bundled and sellers scarce , with prices at
ho moment of opening iinywluiio from 70'c
to 70 v for July , compared with 7."i' c nt the
close of Friday's session. Iteport ? conceinlng
the condition of the crops here and abioad and
the advanced prices In Kngland quoted In the
cnrlv cablegrams were the main onuses of Ilio
ngtnted ; advance. Liverpool was quoted from
Idtol'td higher. Cargoes on p.issago were
slrongat from 3d to Gil advance and cargoes
on" co.1st were advised as being strong at f IOIH
3d to ( id hlglier prices. 'I'lie weather In Kng-
laud was called lirllllanl and that Is at pie-mi
consldeied unfavorable for the crops It Is
acknowledged tobo Injurious for grass- , oats
and barley , but the elTcct of biilllant vteather
upon wheat is not being dwelt upon In the
cable news.
Then- was good buying nv some of the prom
inent local tiaders most of the day , though
oce.islon.il spells of weal\ii"ss set in , caused
ny selling ordeis temporarily exceeding 'he '
demand. Itecelpts In the notlhwcst were
smaller , but local receipts- held up pietty well.
Theie wis a good shipping business , and this
was made a foatllie of the day. Shoits eov-
eied froely.especl.illydui Ing the last half of the
sessionami It looked as though I here was some
motive power under the maiket besides 111"
Inlliiences mentioned. The receipts at pri
mary markets were slightly smaller than the
receding week , and the exports larger , and It
s fair toexp"ct that the visible supply will
show a decrease. Kcccipts at Duluth were : . ' !
curs and at Minneapors I , " > 1 cars , a total of 171
cars , against i"is cars yestoidny and 20i oats
for the co.'iespondlng day a ye.tr ago. Local
receipts weio 27 : . ' cars , of which I'll ' caisvveio
of contract grade.
The opening wis about % c higher for July
and 4c higher for September than ( ho closing
llguies for yostenlay , then advanced ! < "
moio for .Inly and 1' < for September , eased
on" slightly but again lecoveicil and the clos
ing was about I7ac hlglier for July and 2c
higher for . eptember.
In corn thu conditions were little changed ,
but there was a change of front among the
loading houses. Tlio bullishness ot the wheat
market , the cold weather over the corn belt ,
the discouraging reports from planting , the
Mrm and hlghei cables , the light lecelpts and
the strength in other iniu-Kels contributed to
n strong opunlng. Kcccipts were small. 130
cms , and the weather a little Improved over
the west , but Ills still wet and cold In many
places. Kstlmates for Monday are placed at
110 cars. Initial trades weie nt fiom ' 41' tote
to V advance , under a good demand sold up
n fraction more.wlir.it ruling much stronger
at the time. M iv and July touched the high
point titmice. 44.c and 4o1aC , while Septem
ber sold at I0 ac.
It was on this sort of a I ulglng mnrket that
a half do/en houses led by Cotigdon , Pntton ,
llnitlctt-rnuler und lintel vs , undertook to
take the profits on n largo line uf coin for
July All months . . jutlcreel alike. The sales
by tlie syndicate were so general as to over
shadow all else and urlces went down quickly.
Tlie bleak the first Jionr wns 44c for May to

tember. There vv.isa Hilly of 'sc from the
bottom prices an hour later. Itecelpts weio
13O cars and for Monday 110 estimated.
The maiket entirely recovered from the
eaily selling beforp the close and last prices
were better th.in on Friday at 44'io for May ;

The volume , ot trading In pork was x-ery
light. The opening sales exhibited an advance
ot 12'ic , hut on some selling by the local
crowd , the market declined 5c and then re
acted on actlvo bidding , with sales at from 0 to
lOc advanceat a time to O7'sc. Some offer
ings by a local operator forced the market
down 30c , but as soon as they weio wlthdiawr
It improved 12'o nnii closed strong , 07'/c
higher than yesterday.
The ollerlngs of lard were quite limited , nnd
as a result tr.idlng was light. A Him feeling
prevailed In sympathy with polk , the market
advancing lOc with very slight reaction , and
closing with that gain over yosUrdny's final
figures.
Theio was a steady feeling In ribs early , the
opening sales being around yesterday's clos
ing prices forSentomber to2'tc better. OlTer-
Ings wore scaicc and with the advance In pork
this maiket responded to the extentof locnnd
closed with that advantage.

Oiniiliii Produce .Market.
One of the most Important features of the
day's market was tlio break In I ) i. tier. I'or
some time dealers Irivc been anticipating that
receipts would IIICIIMSC and the market \\ould
necessarily decline rapidly when the time
came. I'or t oor three das there has been a
gain In the lecclpts and : i weak feeling has
prevailed In the maiUet , hut dealers ha\e gen
erally been lioldlm ; on for steady pi Ice- until
tlio time when the load became toohea\yto
c-iiuy , and a de.'llno w.is the icsiilt. As llieie
K every icason for antlclpatlni : a still fuitber
gain in receipts , noone thinks but ( hut prices
will continue on the down grade for a lime
yet. Some predict that the bulk of the 001111-
tiy butter will sell below lOc ! this week.
I'hn egg m.itkcl holds nlioul steady and does
not present any Interesting featuies.
Poultry Is very slow sale and the mnrket Is
weak. The receipts ale largo for this season
and for the prices that are being asked. While
poultry Is selling at the present prlcos the de
mand will he necessarl'y ' limited , ni.s It Is too
high yet to stimulate consumption.
Potatoes seem to be nuning oft' quite freely
and the market Is tlrmlng up on choice stock.
Uood Wisconsin potato's are being generally
held at ( i.lc. III fact It Is hardly possible to lay
them down here at a pi Ice that will admit of
their being sold at any less money ,
Tlio market was full of strawberries but a
large ptnpoi lion of the stock was water soaked
and ofery rioor quality. It was hard work to
Mud good snipping stock. The rains In Ar
kansas have put the but lies In very poor shape
for shipping.
