A CUKIOUS LEGEND.
Savage Retribution of the Indians
of Arizona Feud
of Syks and Snakes.
Moaning of "SUyatky" Why
tho Old war Chief Spared
tho Womon and
Children of a Hostile
Tribe.
(iiraK( lleruld.l
"Sikyatky" means "yellow house."
Sikyatky was one of the ancient towns
of the Marquis' enemies in tho times
whe.d tin livers were wider and the
white man had never seen even the
tallest peaks of the mountains. Tho
young corn people who came from the
east lived there. They were a very
warlike people and a proud race. Hut
they were not. so old as the Snakes,
who cum i- much earlier, and lived up
on the mesa. The Syksaud the Snakes
quarreled over water, and the young
stingers of the Snakes came over from
Wa'pi and tormented the Syks, for
they could throw so true as (o hit a
bird in a tree. So the Syks put up
two towers in their village, and after
that they had the best of the fighting
si long as they remained at home,
lint they wero not content with that.
They wanted to destroy the Snakes so
there would be plenty of water.
One day a Syk prowled about
the village of the Snakes up there
on the mesa, nnd he saw n maiden at
a window. She was a beautiful girl,
and the daughter of a chief. Her
brother was the bravest man in the
whole Moqui tribe, and when he was
older he would become the principal
chief. The Syk took Ids bow and arrow,
and when no one was looking he
leaped upon a rock and shot the maiden.
His arrow went through her
neck. Then her brother's heart was
very heavy. Ho loved his beautiful
sister and resolved to avenge her
death. But he did not say what he
meant to do. Ho waited till tho
Syks celebinted the corn dance and
ho attended it. It was the custom for
alt who took part in tho games at this
festival to wear helmets which hid
their fares, that no one might tell who
they were. Tho brother was alone in
the Syk town, but he wns not afraid.
There was no one in tho village who
could run so fast as ho nor any one
who could throw him down. Ho won
tho prize, and then, as that was tho
way of tho Syks, he selected from
among tho women wntching the sports
tho most beautiful maiden and he
climbed up to where she. sat in tho
wnlloftho tower. Ho had in his
hand tho token of his victory in the
games, and tins ho offered to her.
As she leaned forward to rcccivo it.
smiling upon him, uud while all the
pcoplo wondered who her bravo lover
might be, he drew his stone knife
nnd killed her. All the Syks sprang
up and cried out when they saw her
fall. They wet-e mad, because they
believed this must bo n Snake. Then
they were surprised, for ho throw off
the helmet and thoy saw it was tho
brother of tho girl who had been killed.
And the maiden he had stabbed
was tho only sister of tho bowman who
had slain tho girl in Walpi,
All tuo Syks darted after him, but
he climbed swiftly up tho wall of tho
mesa, Btopping only to cast stones nt
them from his sling till he reached his
home. Hut tho Syks raised an army
and began again tho war against tho
Snakes., Tho battle raged every day
nnd every night. Not it man from
either tribe could go away from home,
for his women mid children would ha
killed while ho was goue. Many
were killed while tending their
gardens or flocks, and tho coru of the
Syks could not ripen becauso, the
Snakes would not let thorn havo water
enough to fill the ditches.
Alter a great many years, when
tho young Snake whoso sister had
been shot with mi arrow had become
n wnr chief, an old Snake was coming
lnmc one night carrying n bundle of
wood. He was very old and very
good, Hut he was tired climbing up
the mesa with his henvy load. lie
eat down on a stone nnd was thinking.
His heart was very heavy, for tho
war had been going against his people,
and the Syks had been able to
get water for their land, and the corn
was ready to plant. While ' he eat
then thinking n spirit came to him.
It was tho girl who had been shot by
the Syks youth ns she sat nt her window.
Shu told the old man that tomorrow
the Syks would plant their
corn, and all tho men in tho tribe
would lie in the fields, for that was
the ciutiini of the people, She told
the old mail to r;o the war chief and
get him to lead the Snakes against the
Syks as soon in the sun was up.
So the old man took up his bundle
of wood, and it was not heavy any
more, for he could hear the cries of
the Syks ho had Killed. As soon as
the chief heard this lie was very glad.
He called all his people 'ogcthcr and
they went into the khevas and painted
themselves and prepared for battle.
In the morning, before the stars
went out, he led his men down to the
Syks town, whcic the towers stood up
in the starlight, and saw all the Syks
go out with their medicine men to
plant the corn. No one but tho women
and children was left in the village.
When they had nil goue the
war chief hounded down into the
town with his men and they drove all
the women and children out, but they
burned up all the houses and they
tore down the two towers. Then the
Syks had no place to light and they
were driven away from the country.
There arc no more, of them in the
world, nnd their country and their
Bprings are in the hands of the Snakes.
When the war chief came to die
his men asked him why he had saved
the women and children of the Syk
village, and he told them the spirit of
his sister whispered to him as he lny
thcic in the starlight waiiiug for the
enemy to go out to plant that there
was beside hfr, though he could not
sec, the girl who had been killed the
day of tho coru dniicn. His si.'liV
told him she loved the. girl, and wanted
him to keep alive all women and
children, nnd take care of them in
the village of the Snake. And after
that no Snake or .Moqui Indian had
over killed it woman or a child.

SIMPSON'S ROCK.
A Monument to the Horoism
of a Groat Indian
Cxchnngr. '
Out nt Trinidad, Coh, just south
of the town, is a huge tint-topped
rock on the top of a hill perhaps three
hundred feet high. It is called
Hock, and is ono of the historical
points in the west. Indeed, it is
a fragment ol history from that time
when heroic deeds miulewacrcdby tho
spilling of white mail's blood ushered
in the safe and prosperous era of win to
man's rule.
Simpson was a pioneer and came
tn the place long before the name of
Trinidad was heard. lie was a
freighter, and finding muiiy advantages
about the spot ho picparcd a
home for his family on the bank of
the Purgatoir river. Ho had a wife
and two boys in his home at Santa
Fe; nnd no man ever ruorc lovingly
prepared a lodge for his love than
this rough driver fashioned a dwelling
in fur-away Trinidad. He had everything
in readiness as he passed through
to the east, and meant to bring out
his wife and children on his next trip
west. But the Indians had risen that
fall nnd swept nil the settlemcta down
the river. They found Simpson's
home just ready for occupaucy, captured
the men he had employed to
take care of it, and then laid in wait
without disturbing a thing till the
owner should como.
Simpson had seen signed of their
ravages, and knew the knife and
brand were devastating the country.
He circled around his cherished home
and saw enough to warn him. He
drove to tho foothills, south of the
river, and begau preparations for a
guarded camp. The Indians did not
wait foi barricades, but attacked nt
once. The helpers were slaughtered
at the first assault, but Simpson, with
one canteen of water, fought his way
through tho Hue of screaming Utcs
and claniercd up the hill They fol
lowed ns they could, but darkness fa (
vo'red Iiiiii.tjihI he gamed the hills,
t. . VV. i.. .i.t... found i.:...
morning early they him,
anil n little further up
the hill, killing several(of his. assail-nuts
from n. better coveh In iho nf
ternoon they drove him from that,
and he clambered a little Higher up.
So the warfare went on. He had
shot so many they would not leave
him nlivc, but they could not
him. The second night Simpson
retreated to the very tip of the
hill, rolled n shelter of stones in a
spot whero he conld command the oue
approach, and waited. Ho had eaten
nothing nnd could hope for no food.
Tho only chance of deliverance lay in
tho possible coming of soldiers to
avenge the massacre of settlers. Lying
there in tho broiling sun by day
and tuc chilling air by night, the
grim old man watched slecplessly,
picking efl'his enemies as they crept,
ouo by ono up tho path.
Day after day for a week, without
other food than cactus root, with no
water than that one canteen full, ho
stood off his enemies. He never shot
till a head was iu sight, and ho always
killed. Ho found it, feeble crawling
about bis little fort, on tho evening of
the twcltb. He killed three Indians
on the thirteenth. In tho thick darkness
beforo tho dawn of tho fourteenth
dav he felt rather than saw an Indian
at the path, and shot withouta waver.
He heard tho voiceless Uto roll
dowu the precipice 'and pumped in
another cartridge.
That was his last. They fonnd him
so at noon, his dead eyes wide open,
his riflo laying along tho rock, his
pinched, heroic frame starved for
food and famished for water, so thin
that thoy spurned it with their feet.
For fourteen days he had fought
them, uud then he hud died defiant.
Trinidad pcoplo havo raised a cross
to murk his grave nud perpetuate tho
memory of tho most hopeless, the
most surprising fight iu all tho Indian
nnnals.

There wero govern! holy wells in

which maintained its reputation into

in 1824 by a garden with alloys of
clipped hedges, on the gates of which
was a board with .a notification:

was Bride well, which gave its ntimo

like the simple fountains in tho Welsh

Probably there were once ornamental
crosses associated with most
holy wcl's. There is an interesting
survival of this combination nt
where tho Eleanor crora
stands close to a spring, which is indeed
at tho baso of the steps upon
which it is placed. The well is covered
with a stone erection of two
arches, and a few stone steps descend
from the level of the road to give
to it. Three statues of the good
brave queen look down from their
high place, under their cusped canopies,
upon the drawers of water who
for so many centuries have availed
themselves of this spring. It is situated
in nn open space among the mellow
old houses in the village at a
short distance from the church. From
an account preserved of the proceedings
that took place at Dunstable and
St. Albaii on the occasion of tho removal
of the dead queen, wo may assume
that her remains rested on the
very spot marked by the cross. Says
the chronicler: "The body of the
queen rested iu the marked place
until tho king's chancellor and the
great men then nnd there present had
marked a fittinj place where thoy
might afterward efect at the royal expense
a cross of wonderful size, pur
trior being then present and sprinkling
holy water." lu tho case of
the existence of the spring
may havo led to the spot being marked
as a fitting place.
From the days wheu Abraham's
servants digged wells, and Isaac
again the wells of water, it is
clear these who have lived before us
have set the highest value upon them.

they were written when Sir Walter
Scott wrote "St. Kenan's Well" -an

was nii'.de by a Mr. Pell, of the
Sun Djuiiugo Shoro Line road, to
the opening of private letters by the
chief of tho secret service bureau. It
is not generally known that the rules
of tho post office department empower
inspectors to open suspicious letters nt
discretion. The public appear to bo
very much astonished at .thi3 proceeding
mentioned, but I assure you that
it is carried to a greater extent than
even.thoso who know all about it suppose.
Iu fact, under the rules of tho

This will surpriso some people, I presume,
but it is nevertheless true, and a
reference to the priyuto instruction to
post office inspectors, which ore iu

"How do you spell Ora Green -and
Ebhu Green?" '
He was'auswered
"Can you spell Tommy Benjamin?"
She could, and did. .
Ho was silunt. ' Ho propped his
pink chin in his pink palm 'and
thought tho matter over. Finally bo
drew along breath and straightened ip.
"I fought if Iliad a piece of paper
an' a pencil and I knowed how to
spell every word I would write to
Omaha for a policeman to come and
'rest Ora Green, nn' Elihu Green, nn'
Tommy Benjamin for frowin' stones
nt mo nn' snyin':
"Gee whizz! Staggery bat.
Crisscross caraway rat!"
The patient mother insisted on an
adjournment. When he was iu bad
and his small sister in her cot on the
other'side of the room he said: j
"Maninin, arc wo all madejout of
dirt?" r
"Adam was," she hedged.
"0," cried tho weo girl excitedly,
"Joy eays Gos made 'ittledirls out ol
dirt an' den ho 'pit on them! Did he,"
in righteous wrath, '"pit on tlem,
mamma?"
Evidently the latter possible fact
was moro galling than that nf construction
from clay. "No one knows
exactly how God makes anything."
"Can he see in here?" qnered Jim
"Yes."
"If 'twas an iron house, could he?"
"Yes."
"If 'twas an iron house, wifout any
windows, could he?"
"Yes. Now go to sleep."
Piped tho little maid: "Does God
make cows?"
"Yes. Now hush!" ,
"How does ho mnke rows, mamma?"
This the mother was deliberating
when Jim spoke.
"Cows!" scornfully.. "Cows! God
don't make cows. God nnkes calves,
nnd they grow into cows! Don't they,
mammu?"
"Yes. Do shut your eyes, both of
you, nnd go to sleep!"
Fifteen minuiites passed. Surely
she was safe. Surely she might steal
down 'stairs.' Sho rosb noiselessly and
sneaked to tho door.
"Mamma!" murmured a drowsy
voico.
"Well?"
"How-does;-ho calves?"

There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed,
'Tis found alone in heaven.
There is a soft nnd downy bed,
Far from the shades ot evening; ,
A couch for weary mortal's head, ot
And find reposo iu heaven.
There is a homo for weary souls I w
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life's tempest shoal
And all is dear 'tis heaven.
There faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
'lho heart no longer risen,
And views the tempest passing by,
And all scrcneiin.Jbeavoa.,, , -.
