6 THE OMAHA DAILY JJEE : MONDAY , AIJttUST 32 , 1808. " * . I APACHE KID'S ' BOY PARTNER Interpreter Btereni the Childhood Ohnra of a Terrible Indian Outlaw , TELLS THE STORY OF THE DREADED BANDIT Paaneil In Peace on n Farm il Into the Bloodlent Career ot Any of the Sonthweat'a Noted Terror * . Although but little pant 10 reara of age , Joseph Stevena , who la In charge ot the Apachea from San Carloa agency , N. M. , at the Indian congress , haa aeen aa much of life BB tome men who have reached three core and ten. Dorn In New Mexico , he haa Iwara lived on thayfrtntler and haa always bad much to do with the Indiana of that section of the country , both while they have been on th * war path and while peacefully loafing about their reservations. BJarens la a amall wiry fellow , quick aa a cat , strong aa an ox and brave aa a lion. He la aa much at home on a horse aa though ta was born In the saddle and Is an expert hot with both the rifla and the revolver. He la so much of an expert with a revolver that he can hit a amalt copper cent four times out of five at a distance "oP thirty feet and with a rifle he Is equally as good. He baa a vocabulary of vast extent , being able to spenk nine different languages , all of them being Indian with the exception of English and Spanish. For yearn Stevens haa been Interpreter at the San Carlos Indian agency , but now he has a much better posi tion , being the agency clerk. While here he Is charged with the safe return of the Apaches who are In his party and at the name time he Is taking his annual vacation. While he does not boast of It , Stevens was for yeara a friend anil boon companion ot Apache Kid , the young Apache Indian who few years ago took the contract to reduce the population of both New Mexico and Arizona. This , however , was before the Kid started on the war path and became a bad man. As everybody knows , the Apache Kid was beard of for the last time some two years ago. Since then his whereabouts have , been shrouded In mystery , but Stevens Is firmly convinced that he IB dead and that bo died of consumption Instead of with his boots on , as many have supposed , and as It has frequently been reported by newspa per correspondents who have traveled through the wilds ot Now Mexico and Art- ton a. He Wna Good Hoy. Speaking of the Apache Kid , Stevens said : "The lad and I were boys together and when be was a llttlo fellow no more likely boy was to be found In the country. Ho was gentle aa a girl and as affectionate as it was possible for one to be. If alive he would bo about my age. He was full- blooded Apache and had a noble mother. His father died when ho was almost a babe and after a few years his mother mar ried an Indian whose name was Tno Dc- chles , a peaceable farmer , who owned a flno herd of ponies and numerous sheep up In the mountains. The younfc Indian be came an expert hunter and herder and was ono of the best horsemen In the territory. He was sober and Industrious and attended strictly to bis own business , never giving anyone trouble. He drew his rations the Bame as other Indians , and after getting the regulation supply , returned to his home. For years we hunted and Journeyed over the mountains together. In all ot these travels I scarcely heard him speak an un kind word of any person. "The change In the career of the Apache Kid came about twelve years ago , " added Stevens. "One day he and his stepfather conic to the agency and a drunken Indian had some words with the old man. A light ensued , during which time the old man was shot down like a ilog. Immediately after the murder , the disposition of the Kid Bccmed to change and Instead of remainIng - Ing the gentle boy , he suddenly developed Into a savage brute. He left the agency and was gene for a few days. Suddenly he re turned and turned In his gun , resigning his position aa chief of scouts , which Is similar to the position of chief ot police beld by the northern Indians. Telling some of his most Intimate friends that he had located the murderer ot his stepfather , he left the agency , taking a few of bis most Intimate friends along. Some days later he returned i again and openly boasted of having killed one Indian. This seemed to turn the head x f the young Indian and the shedding of blood seemed to have converted him Into the most bloodthirsty of savages. Ho took to drink and became a loafer , cruel and heartless. After that ho would as soon shoot down bis best friend aa a dog. Ills associates ot former years shunned him and ' be became an outlaw and an outcast with a price upon his head , yet none were bold enough to attack htm. Ho could come to the agency and run things to suit himself with out anyone daring to Interfere. He would go into a house and If things did cot suit him , espectaly If he was In liquor , he would commence shooting , and the man or woman bad to be mighty quick who could get out Of range of his bullets. Finally ho disap peared and It was thought that he was dead , but the next that we heard of htm was from down along the Mexican border , where It waa reported that he was gathering In bis victims by the acore. Defled All Pnranlt. "Tho bloody work of the. Kid continued for a period of nine years , during which time bo waa hunted by deputy marshals , Indian couts , Mexicans and herders , but none ol them got him. Ills name was a terror to the whole country and even would frighten their children into being good by telling them that the Apache Kid would get them Dulng this time he married an Apache girl beautiful maiden , and took her up Into bis home In the mountains. It was on a high rock peak , overlooking the country for miles around. To reach the place was al most Impossible , as three sides were steep as the roof to a house , while the other was filled with hidden and winding paths. A number of times attacking parties tried to Bcale the mountain and surprise him In his home , but each time the parties came down the mountain side much reduced In number. "It waa a war of bide and seek. Time and again he was shot at and time am again he was reported killed , but for years ho continued to reappear. He was no re pector of persons and would as soon kll n Apache ot his own tribe aa a white man The Indiana learned this and gave him a Wide berth , not caring to take' any chances Finally things reached a pass where the government took the matter up and tried to bunt the man down. He got wind of the new move and prepared for the attack. He would come down from his mountain home and pack provisions up In broad dayllgh or In the darkness of night aa beat suited hi fancy. Ambushing parties would lay to him , but he seemed to bear a charmed life and would come out of the affray unharmed but not BO much could be said for thos who were on his trail. Robbing the dead o money , valuables , guns and ammunition , h would Journey up the mountain , where ho would remain until hs ! stores became ex hausted , when he would organize unothe raid and repeat the operation. "This bushwhacking war continued untl four or five years ago. when suddenly th habitation on the mountain was abandoned It was visited and discovered that every thing of value had been taken away. Tba Kid. For along of the wa. the last ever aeen long time nothing waa heard of him or-hi reported that he bad been vita , H wa. but about ttm jr M av I aaw bU wife and she told me that the Kid hnd died f consumption a few months previous. Moro ban this she would not any. I have every encon to believe that she was telling the ruth .and I also have reasons for believing hat all of the stories about the Apache Kid elng alive and down In Mexico or some other place are untrue.

July 1 will forever be a memorable one n American history , writes a Santiago cor espondent ot Harper's Weekly. On that ay the United States army , under General hatter , stormed and took , after several tours' fighting , the two Spanish strong- lotds , El Caney and San Juan. I was with he Seventh United States fcfantry , ot kneral Chnffee's brigade , which took El laney. The brigade constated of the eventb , Twelfth and Seventeenth regi ments. On Thursday evening , June 30 , about i o'clock , the brigade received orders to march. We were taken away up Into the mountains , through paths that permitted ur advancing only In single file , and were nkle-Ceep with thick , black mud , Into which our feet atuck at every step , making lie climb up the mountainside a very aborlous one. Wo reached a nice field of grass and went Into camp Just as darkness was com- ng on. No tents were allowed to be erected , or were any fires lighted , the men and ( fleers having to He on their shelter tents n the damp ground and go to sleep "coffee- ess. " H was a strange , Impressive scene , his camp on the eve before the battle , men tiding about ghostlike and silent , scarcely peaking above a whisper. All commands were given quietly and perfect order was jrescrved. At 5 o'clock next morning , July 1 , Just as ayllght was driving the moon and stars rom the cloudless sky , the camp was quietly roused and within thirty minutes the field was clear and the brigade on the march nee more , plodding through the thick mud. At 7 o'clock wo heard a gun from one of he batteries on a distant hill boom forth what seemed like a challenge hurled at the Spanish fortifications , but It was almost 8 'clock before our brigade became engaged. As we were marching along , listening to he music of the far-off artillery and rifles , ve were suddenly halted , the men being irdcred to throw off their packs and ad- ranee as quickly as possible. Within five minutes we were In the midst of a heavy hewer of bullets from the Mauser rifles of he Spanish , and between two ( Ires ono rom a small blockhouse on oui right , the > ther from the strong stone blockhouse at 21 Caney , Immediately In front of us. The men were at once ordered Into cover nd opened fire and almost before I realized what had happened I found myself , for the Irst time In my life , under ( Ire , right up In rent , on the firing line of the Seventh eglment. I suppose every one has a different sensa- lon when for the first time he finds him self with bullets whistling around him on all sides , yet seeing nothing , only hearing hem as they rush by , crashing through the eaves and twigs on their deadly errand , but n my own case the seriousness and danger of the situation did not strike me until I leard several heavy thuds near me , and , on ooklng around me , saw some of our men on the ground , dead or wounded. Then it came home to me that this was war in lamest , and I found myself wondering If I shoyld be the next whether I should bo killed or merely wounded , and where I should be hit. But this feeling rapidly wore off and I soon became so accustomed to the rattle of the bullets that I began to take no notice ot them at all , and even the sight of dead and wounded failed to move me. But : shall never forget my feelings when I first leard the bullets sink Into the heads or xxlleB of these that fell. Some were killed nstantly and sank with scarcely a groan , some with a curse and others with the name of Oed on their lips , whilst most of the wounded swore terribly at the Spaniards and at their bad luck at being stopped so early In the day , and so unable to see the battle through , but every ono was brave and patient , some of the wounded having to He ; wo or three hours' before they were at tended to , owing to the great lack of surgeons and medical attendants. Litter- bearers were conspicuous by their absence , eoldlers having to leave their companies to lake their wounded comrades to the rear. The few surgeons workea like Trojans and were unremitting In their care of the wounded. Meanwhile the firing was fast and furious , bullets falling all around like hailstones , and one found one's self won dering why many more were n.ot shot down. The troops were calm and brave , follow ing and advancing step by step , aa their officer called upon them. General Chaflee was a towering example ot what a man and a soldier should be In battle ; he was here , there and everywhere , ordering , com manding , beseeching and Imploring In turn. What did he care that he was walking around In open space exposed to the enemy's are ? He was commanding the brigade and bad a duty to perform , and nobly he did It. The small blockhouse which I have men tioned had now been silenced and was In possession of our troops and gradually we were closing In on the large one , the firing being aa heavy aa at the commencement. Presently the artillery , which had moved Into a good position at closer range , dropped a tew shells Into the fort , the brigade drew closer and closer , and at about 1:30 : the Twelfth regiment charged and captured It , taking about 100 prisoners. The brigade had won a great victory. It had been opposed by an enemy In en trenchments and shooting through loop holes In a blockhouse and a fort , and bad lost a large number of men , the Seventh being the greatest sufferer In this respect. Although I was thus on the first firing line and many men were wounded and killed all about me , I found It Impossible to make any actual "battle scenes , " for many reasons the distance at which the fighting Is con ducted , the area which la covered , but chiefly the long grass and thickly wooded country. Up-lUrer Repartee. Al Boardman of Minneapolis was In Sioux City recently and he told the Journal man a new story Illustrating the envious rivalry between his town and St. Paul : "An Irishman from St. Paul got hurt somehow over at Minneapolis and was takan to one of the hospitals. His Injuries ware painful , but not dangerous. However , he felt sure that he would not survive and he constantly walled to the surgeon : " 'Och , dochtor , do somethln' for me quick. I'm dyln * . I know I am. I'll never see St. Paul alive. ' " 'See St. Paul alive ? ' blurted out the surgeon. 'You'll die of old age before any body ever sees St. Paul alive. ' "And U made that Irishman so mad he wanted to thrash the doctor and nobody heard any more walling from him , but he got out of the hospital at the earliest possi ble day. " Wooden Gun * Worked. A confederate veteran quoted by the New Orleans Tlmco-Deraocrat says : "Wooden guns did deadly work before Fort Blakcly The Yankees fixed them up and they shot Just as well aa It they had been manufac tured ot Iron. The opposing lines were GOI yards apart. The confederates were behind the walls of the fort and the federals were strongly Intrenched. General Canby , the Yankee commander , was without artillery What did he do but manufacture 100 mortars from black gum trees. Black gum trees grew everywhere In the vicinity. He borei them out , put Iron bands around them ant fired 8-Inch shells furnished by Farragut's ( teet. The lines were so close that Hgh charges sufficed , and the extemporaneous weapons did all that was asked of them. " Send your out of town frlenda three photogravures of the Exposition.

The lngle word unchanged" would perhaps best express the situation. Some course , heavy western corn feds , covered with brands , but very [ at , sold at $5.2036.30. The nuiiket on corn- fed cuttle of all kinds has had a steady , up ward tendency all this 5/eek , and even ul- owlng for the fact that the cattle are get- ; lng better all the time , It is safe to quote the market as HKjfISc higher than it was u week ago. Good kinds of fat cuttlo huvo sold ut $3.005.5U. und common to medium kinds ut $4.6u4.90. A bunch of North Park , Colorado , cattle that had been on hay feed all winter und then on grass brought $4.65 this morning , but there has been nothing like them here Before. The market on grass westerns has been in good shape all the week with a strong tendency , the gain since a week ago amounting to probably lOc. While good heifers possibly are no lower the common to medium cow stuff is fully 1016c lower than It was a week ago. The market on that kind of cattle has been in peculiar condition In that one day they would buy them and the next day sit down on them , one day the market would be active and the feeling good while the next it would be a drag from start to ilnlsh. Good feeders and good yearling stackers [ lava-been good sellers all the week , and at the close are a little stronger than they were u week ago. There have been some ver > ' good cattle In during the week which lias made prices look high. At the same time common kinds of feeding and stock cattle have been rather slow sale , with no improvement In prices , in fact , some would say that they are lower than a week ago. HOGB The market opened fairly active at an advance of 6@10c. the element of strength being the Improvement In the con dition of the provision market yesterday. Buyers all seemed anxious for supplies and the buying was rapid so that an early clearance was effected. Some trashy Stuff sold down to $3.70 , but the general run of mixed loads , good , bad and Indifferent , sold at $3.75 , and it was almost a one-price market. Yesterday the same kind of hogs sold principally at $3.66 ® 3.67K. A few good , heavy loads sold as lilgh as $3.8033.82u. while the top for prime heavy yesterday was $3.76. Today's advance leaves the market less than 5c under the high point of the week , which was Tuesday , and a shade stronger than at the close of last week. It will be noted from the table of aver ages at the head of the column , that while prices on some days dropped down rather low the market for the week , as u whole , waa fully up to the general average of the month. Neither the extreme low point nor the extreme high point for the month was touched during the weak. Another point that will be noted from the tables at the head of the column la that re ceipts of hogs have run rather light this week , In comparison with other weeks , due apparently to the lower tendency of prices during the earl. ' portion of the week. SHEEP There were a few loads of sheep here which met with quite ready eulo at Just about steady prices. The receipts have been very light for some time past and far short of the requirements of buyers , so that prices have been well maintained at this point.

September closed 10 < 16-8c lower and De cember lost 5-8c. Corn declined 3-8c ; oats are down l-8c. Pork left off IBc lower , lard 12Hc and ribs 10012' c. Wheat traders had notfllng but bearish news to begin with , but the opening pr"n- ! wcre a shade higher than were current at last night's clone. The apparent strength was of short continuance , prices for the ac tive futures getting to ' ,4c below the highest notch of the opcnlnK'in about ten minutes land 8-Sc under Friday's closing. The In fluencing factors were both of foreign and domestic origin. ' Quotations from Liverpool were % d down for September and 3-8d for December. The Italian'crop ' was estimated at from 116,000,000 to 120,00 < r,000 bu. . compared with 92,000,000 the previous season , and the French crop at 320,000,000 bu. at least , after allowing for some disappointment In pre vious expectations.The most striking Item of news from donientlc sources was that Minneapolis and Duluth received 435 cars , against 145 the preceding Saturday and 243 cars the corresponding day last year. Chl- cugo got 168 carloads , orily fifteen of which were of contract quality , and a year ago 19 cars came to hand , here. The demand from the seaboard for wheat was less ur gent , but business could have been done n No. 2 hard and No. 2 red , the grain jelng for Immediate loading , but'BO par icular were buyers In , that respect that Monday's loading , wan refused. The spring wheat market was very unsettled in the carlots crowd , andmuch , of the day's re ceipts being tough , and , , damp it was diffi cult to get buyers'to make any kind of a respectable bid for such. Low grade red winter was equally demoralized. That con dition of affairs added to the bearish feei ng already existing , and as the northwest ern markets were also very weak the fu tures were boldly pressed for sale , more es pecially September , the other active future , December , being comparatively steady. September opened unchanged to l-8c higher at 65065 l-8c and had a quick break to 64 6-8c. It steadied for n little around those figures , then broke to 63 > 4c and closed at 63 3-8C3V4c. December began unchanged to l-8c up at 'rom 62062 6-8c , dropped to f7-8c and firmed up to 62c sellers at the close. Continued fine weather , a slow shipping demand and the weakness In wheat had a bearish Influence on corn. The general tone of the market was easy , although December Increased Its lead over September slightly as the result of rather extensive changing iransactlons , commission houses taking the December and selling the nearby delivery. September opened unchanged to l-8c up at 30U030 5-8c , gradually declined to 30c and closed at 301-Sc sellers. Oats again demonstrated their ability to 'ollow corn. Trade , however. Was very light , and for this reason prices showed only the slightest fluctuations. September oats began unchanged to l-8c higher at 197-8c and sold off to 196-8c , the closing price. An advancfl In prices for live hogs at the yards favored provisions at the commence ment. Prices soon yielded , however , under pressure of offerings from buyers on yea- : crday's break , who were disposed to ac cept what profit they could find. Septem ber pork started lOc higher at $9.20 , sold off to $8.92U and closed at $8.95. September lard opened unchanged at $5.22 % , rose to (5.22H04.25 ( and declined to $5.10 , the closing figure. September rlba began 60 > 7Hc lower at $6.16 , weakened to-$5.07' and firmed up to $6.10 at the close. Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 116 oara ; corn , 700 cars ; oats , 600 cars ; hogs , 28,000 head. The leading futures ranged aa follows : Article * . Open. Hl h. Low. Cloa * . Y'a'd'y.

LONDON STOCK MAHKET IIKVIKW. American Securities Ilecclre All tbe Attention on 'Change- . LONDON , Aug. 21. The American market continued to monopolize what little vitality the holidays and the heat have left on the Stock exchange. There has been a general advance ranging from $1 to tS per share and the tone of the market had been decidedly firm. Most of the buying was done by pro- fetslonals. Chicago , Milwaukee & St. I'uul led the business. The Increased Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy dividend Inspires hope that the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul will follow Its example. Illinois Contra ! hns ilsen 3H points , Louisville & Nashville 2Vi points and Northern Pacific 2&2V& points. The market expects largo gold with drawals and higher rates. In the meantime bankers are glad to employ their balances for a day or a week at U or 14 per cent. There are no signs of improvement in dis count rates. Home railways have all risen , "partly , " says the Sunday Tlmea , "on the belief that the miserable Import duties In the United States will be reduced before long , thus giving a stimulus to British trade. " Spanish bonds have fallen two points to 40V4 on Paris trying to sell when there were no buyers. The papers declare that thuy must fall to the lowest year's price (23C- ( & ) before buyers will be found , Blnncbeater Textile Fabric * . MANCHESTER , Aug. 21.-Tho business of the last week has been small , the business not nearly equal to the output. Opinions show an unusual difference. Some say that yarns are scarcely lower , values being sup ported by the annual holiday reduction In the output , which is estimated to bo 12,000- 000 pounds In weight , whllo others report business following closely the break In cot ton. Cloth Is slaw for the eastern markets , but a fair miscellaneous business Is being 'dene for the smaller markets , especially for tinuth America. The homo trade Is slow , except for light seasonable weaves. Cer- muny Is waiting the outcome of the cotton movement before resuming large engagu- menta and prices are easier.
