A RACE I’OU LIFE.
In July, I arrived in Fort Craig,
New Mexico, with my company. We
hail just returned from a sixty days’ scout
in tlic mountains, ami our horses were
in a in tin' lie-t condition for another tramp
until they had had a little time to rest and
recruit. The men were nearly all worn
out with our long and forced marches
through deep ravines, and over steep
mountains; when closely following an
Indian trail, we were not supposed to
kindle any tires, even when camping for
the night, as that would give the Indians
notice of our whereabouts, consequently
we are supposed to subsist on raw bacon
and harii tack, served up perhaps on a
rock, while our horses are quietly nipping
the luxuriant blades of grass, or feasting
on the tender houghs of the Mosquieto.
As I said, we had just returned from a
very .successful hunt alter a roving band
of thieving Appaehes, who had stolen and
run oil' a lot of stock from an old Ha
cienda in the little town of Los Crusas.
However, we recaptured nearly all of the
stolen stock, and punished the Indians
severely. And now that we had arrived
in comfortable quarters we hoped that
| we should be favored with a few days rest,
! and perhaps enjoy a quiet Fandango with
the dark eyed Senoritas of Paranhan, a
small Mexican town on the banks of the
Rio (irande. llut alas, how soon we were
doomed to disappointment. One line day,
just as the dinner call had sounded, and
we were all anticipating a luxury consist
ing of a boiled duff, which was a rare
thiugforus, as that part of the country
did nut abound in luxuries, we were start
led from our pleasant reverie by hearing
the quick notes of the luigle sounding
“hoots fo saddle.” This call is one well
| Known 10 every cavalry soiuier, lor men
Im knows that there is work to be done.
We were obliged to bid adieu, for the
time, to boiled duff and coffee. The loud
commands of the captain could be heard
above the clamoring of voices, the rattle
of sabres, and clicking of carbines, order
ing the men to fall into line by twos, and
forward march!
The cause of the alarm, as we soon
learned, was that a bund of roving Appach
es had attacked and were running off our
stock, which had been grazing on the
plain below the Fort, in charge of Mex
ican heardsmen. One of their number
had been despatched to the Fort to give
the alarm, and one man had been shot,
and the Indians were running the stock
into the mountains. Wo being all the
men at the post at the time, of course
every man reported for duty must go. We
had about fifty men in all, who were well
mounted.
The herd ot stock consisted of nuiles,
old worn out horses, and a few beeves be
longing to the post The object of the
Indians was to get the stock headed tor the
mountains, thinking if they could do this
that they would not he pursued. But we
were in good time to head them off, and
before they had gone far we were upon
them. Their numbers were about equal
to ours, therefore every man singled out
Ids Indian and started for him. As the
Indians were all well mounted on ponies,
we had to make a running tight. It was
my good fortune to be mounted on an ex
cellent horse, one that I had rode through
from California, and although I had six
horses during my term of service, I never
found one that could stand so long a march
or so swift of foot as this little California
horse.
Immediately after coming up with the
Indians, 1 singled out a tall chief mounted
I on a splendid pony. This Indian was
making directly for the mountains, no
doubt with the object of escaping us alto
gether. 11c was dressed in all the beauty
of a warrior's costume, having his head
adorned with eagle feathers, a choice
[ ornament with the savages, llis pony
Was arrayed with all the fancy trap
j pings of a great chief.
>cemg m any uu oi me uoys eugageu
in hot pursuit of the painted savages, I
started for the old ehief. determined to
capture him if possible. Being mounted
on an animal fleet of loot, I had the ad
vantage of the Indian, who seeing that 1
was rapidly gaining on him, made the
best possible time in a direct course for a
little group ok hills in the distance. L
knew that if he should succeed in gaining
them my chances of securing him would
not be the. best, t'onseijuently 1 urged
on ni\ horse to his utmost speed, loading
and discharging my carbine at his pony,
! Imping to disable him; but just as 1 had
I begun to think that lie would escape me
altogether, a well directed -hot struck the
pony in the leg. when lie plunged forward
and tell upon the right leg of'the Indian,
holding him fast. Thinking that 1 was
now sure of my game, I charged freely
upon him. When within about twenty
yards of him, and before 1 could discharge
a shot from my revolver, what did he do
but seize an arrow from a Kioto skin,
suspended from his shoulder, and aim it
directly at my horse? The arrow, true to
its aim, struck my noble horse in the
breast, burying itself nearly to the head,
killing him almost instantly. My toe was
still held firmly under his pony, with a
broken leg. As soon as my horse fell the
Indian continued to discharge arrow after
i arrow at me, one of them passing through
niv blouse, but doing no further damage,
three shots from tolls' Navy revolver,
settled the business with the Indian. He
was the largest red-skin that I ever saw,
being over six feet In height. I soon saw
some of the hoys coming fo my rescue.
,\s the Indians were all killed or wound
ed but live, who had succeeded in gaining
the hill before being overtaken, the
wounded were soon dispatched. 1 then
mounted behind one of the hoys and rode
into camp. By the time we arrived at the
fort our appetites were well sharpened by
the day's adventure. None of our num
ber were killed, and but four were
wounded, and those very slightly.
