No nman ever mai. de a mor -
liag discovery. It was the b of
Abnler Jolunsn . dead and orribly muti
rted, arnd between him and the irver, a
distance of W feet, lay the dead bodies of
nine IndIan warriors. While a lance
smllted to prove that they were ed.it
took mte some tiuner to natiety myself as to
the cruse. I t hnally found a atoehbottle,
holding abrout two quarts, which I remen
hnered to have ueen in Johnson's poses
saca. It had contained whiskey, but war
now rnpty. The posture of the bodies
was proof that every warrior hal died of
pous, inut I dId not know until a lonth
that Johnson fixed sp the dome before
leaving Fort Ranosne on his return. He
eemed to have a peresentiment that he
would be captured. and he bought two
quarat of whiakey aned dosed It with
strychnine, knowing that it would surely
revenge him.
Jolansaus had evidently been driem ouat
of his direct course. As I saw tby asssng
over the egroundl, he wars well in the Lead
of his nine pursuers when a chance shot
from a rifle struc him in the right rlpanil
tumbled him from his maddle. His mule
had go on and the Indian bd gone in
to camp to torture the wounded man. They
had cut off his lft ear, gashed hise eek
severed three or four toes, and inflictle
other cruelties when the poison which
they had Imbibed in the whiskey bh n to
work. There emust have been a h old
tisne asaong thenm for haltf an hour, ring
which interval the prisoner probe
ly bled to death. Johnson's
eyes were wide open and If
tte eyes of the dead can reflect anything
his surely reflected exultatin. The
poies of the ladians were Ina a
dellta quarter of a mile awayan ear
wars hobhbled. It seenmed an awht wicked
thing to do, hut I approached each oae in
turn and drove myy knife to its heart.
Then I gathered up saddles and blankets
and lariats and flung themn Into the river.
I took the rifles, tomahawks. knives,
wampum and headdresses of the nine
warriors and made up a toad for the
mulen and after covering Johnson's body
with Lbrush and stones to keep It bfrom the
vultures. I went forward on my journey,
which wasn completed without a further
A roupleol yeas later I was trann lired
to Fort IDai in the Guadulupe mountanlas
of Texaa and in the Apache country. A
conlm.Iaon was sent to the east to locate
a post on the Rio Pecom river. and as the
country was full of hatiles the party was
made pretty strong. There were mi
.couts, thirty private soldiers, three or
four ofreers, and some seven or eight
pompec ors and aunters and trappers who
wantedl to get sglht of that €ountry. The
distance from the fort to the river Is about
sixty miles, and all ope country, and
we were accompanied by two wagons and
an ambulance. While we did not nuas
her over ffty all told. each
itman was heavily armed and well
nmouuted, and 500 Indians would have b
itated to attack us in the open. All the
seentt wer*e Imiled off. and thw name of
my partner was Calvin. He was a rough
anld ruged in an of m, andl most of his
life lhd been spreht in the Indian caountry.
He lhad had a daoen tf elone call., and
the scars he coutl show in proof nounted
up a doewn or more. I did anot know until
we Ihad started on the lalrch that he had
preparedl any trick against the Indlana,
who would he sure to menace us, hut at
our first camp he showed nse a clantee.n of
whiskey, whkich he said was poisoned. He
hlad ahbout half a polund of smoking t
hucco in a hag, and poison had been
aixed with this. While the rest of us
