PLEASANT VALLEY WAICS Some of The Experiences of The Set tlers of This Valley With The Marauding Appaches. Pleasant Valley is situated in the northeast corner of Gila county, Ariz., and like many other new places in the West, has not been without its trials and disadvantages; its scenes of bloodshed, house-burning and plundering, stealing, killing and driving off of the settlérs' stock by the marauding redskins the Apache Indians. It was once the pleasant hunting ground for the Indians, in connec tion with a vast territory lying south and east of it. The Valley was first settled by the whites in the year 1875, Mr." G. O. Sixby and a man by the name of Church being the first settlers. They entered the Valley in Novem ber, 1875, and made the first loca tion. They found the Valley en tirely uninhabited by the human race. The Valley and surrounding country abounded in all kinds of wild game, such as deer, black, cin namon, and silver-tip bear; moun tain lions were in great numbers and wild turkeys could be seen in flocks of many hundred. The whole coun try was covered with a heavy growth of tall grass, in many places it was as high as a horses back. Small springs dotted the Valley, where the wild beasts and birds could quench their thirst. In May, 1880. Ed. Rose came in and located; after which others fol lowed all being stock-raisers. Peace and prosperity attended the settlers for a number of years. Al though about .eighty miles from civilization, they built their homes and established themselves perma nently upon their ranches, and forti fied themselves against any intrud ers, by building their houses with port-holes around the sides, and as far as possible bullet-proof. In August, 1882, the Indian scouts broke out. They rebelled against Colonel Carrof Fort Apache, kill ing eight soldiers and one officer on the Cibicu. From there they head ed towards the Middle ton ranch. Arriving at that place they called for food, which was supplied them. They then took their departure, but soon returned and began their devil ish work, killing two young men Moody and Turner by n ame. One of the young men was sitting in the door-way when an Indian shot him through the head; the other came out of another room with pistol in hand and was shot down in front of the door, and one of the Middletons was wounded, and another shot through the crown of his hat. The Indians then turned and run.' Mr. Middleton took advantage of this opportunity, and went to the Valley for help to get his family out, and on his return, accompanied by Mr. Church, they met the Indians. It was in a thicket of cedars; the In dians were in ambush and opened fire on the two men as they ap proached. Neither of the men were hurt. -The Indians then fled toward the Valley and met Mr. Ed Eose. who was was following after Messrs. Middleton and Church. The Indians fired on Mr. Rose, one ball striking his bocket and entering his under clothes, but failed to draw blood. Mr, Rose turned and lied, with the Indians in pursuit;, but being on a fleet horse Hosf soon out run all the Indians but one, who was riding a very fast horse and shooting at Rose as -they ran. He soon ex hausted all his cartridges, and not receiving any shots from him un doubtedly thought that Rose had no gun. . He soon overtook Rose and started to circle in front of him when, so unexpected to Mr. Indian, Rose drew his revolver and fired a fatal shot at his pursuer. Rose was then left to pursue his course alone. The rest of the band discontinued the chase and started to gather up what stock they could. They drove the horses into Rose's corral and killed seventeen head and then drove the rest away, after burn ing Rose's house and all Us contents. Here the first Indian war of Pleas ant Valley came to a close, but was soon followed by another outbreak of the heartless wretches. In June, 1883, a smal band of In dians came through the Valley and burned the house and its contents belonging to G. O. Sixby. Mr. Six by at-the time was about a mile from the house at work; he saw the fire and smoke and at once started to learn the cause. He readily saw the cause, but was too late to save anything. The Indians had all fled after setting fire to the house. They did no other damage at this time. July 13, 1884, a large band of In dians broke out, and the fact was re ported by thirteen men from Globe, who had come up to notify the peo ple of the Valley. They had stop pod for a rest at the Middleton ronoh, and turned their horses out to graze, when a lot of Indians came in between them and their horses and drove them all away, leaving the men without horses; after which they were obliged to foot it home to Globe, a distance of seVenty-five miles over a very rough and moun tainous country; being obliged to wade Salt river on their way. The Indians then went into the Valley, took fifteen or twenty head of horses and went over on the East fork of Tonto creek at the Sixby ranch. It was early the next morning, soon after the break of day, when it was noticed that- the horses were commencing to come to the corral. They continued to come in and it being surmised that something was wrong, and C. W. Stixby and L. Hudson went out to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the horses coming in. While they were out the Indians came near the house and lay in ambush, and when G. O. Sixby went out after a pail of water, the Indians opened fire on him. At least forty shots were fired at him before he reached the house, a dis tance of about forty steps, only one ball striking him, and that only grazed his breast near the heart. One Indian then ran into the corral and drove all the horses out, there being about sixty head in the corral. As soon as Mr. Sixby reached the house he went to a port-hole with his gun, but could, not see any Indi ans. He then turned to the door, which was standing a little ajar, and there he saw the Indian who had let the horses out, standing about thir ty steps from the door; he fired and the Indian fell to the ground dead, with a hole in his breast. When he fired that shot all the rest of the Indians hid. He then went to a port-hole in the west end of the house, and there he could see an Indian standing behind the cor ral.' The Indian was so hid that he could scarcely be seen. Mr. Sixby watched him closely for a few mo ments, thinking to get a better view of him, but the Indian, like a true warrior, stood by his post. Mr. Six by fired at him, the bullet passing through two posts and entered his. neck, but the wound did not proye fatal, as the Indian is now alise and on the reservation, with a kink in his neck. It is a custom of the Indian, when he is wounded to dispossess himself of his shirt; by this means one- can locate the wound. After Mr. Sixby fired this last shot he heard the Indians shooting at his brother and Hudson, who had previously went out to learn- the cause of the horses coming up. The shooting continued for an hour or more, when the Indians returned and commenced shooting again at the house in which he was fortified keeping themselves hid all the time. They continued this until sundown, and knowing they were watching his stronghold closely, Mr. Sixby made no attempt to escape, as he felt himself quite safe where he was. He kept a close watch all night and wondered if his brother and Mr. Hudson had met their death, by the hands of the Indians. The night seemed to pass slowly away, but morning came at last, but brought neither his brotner or Mr. Hudson and he was satisfied they had 'met their death at the hands of the red skins. f About 7 o'clock that morning he heard talking outside, and on look ing out espied two Indians sitting behind a large-pine stump, about seventy-five yards from the house. In a few moments one of them rais ed up and stepped out about two steps from the stump and faced the house. He squatted down and mo tioned with his right hand for oth ers to come, when Mr. Sixby sent a bullet through, his breast, killing him instantly.- The others stayed behind the stump, waving a stick with a rag attached to the end. The bullets soon began to rain against the house, and continued until about 1 o'clock p. m., when they left, after killing several horses and driving the rest away. Mr. Sixby found over forty of his horses dead on the range and along the trail after the - Indians had left, which they had killed. After the departure of the Indi ans, Mr. Sixby went to Payson, a dis tance of forty miles, to notify the people there of the outbreak. After leaving Sixby's ranch the Indians went up under the rim of the Mugalon mountains and'burned Christophers house; thence to Med ows ranch and killed Mr. Medows and his son Henry, and wounded John Medows; thence to Generals Spring, on top of the mountain, where they prepared to meet the U. S. soldiers and give them a warm reception. ' When Mr Sixby got to Payson he found Colonel Mason and his sol diers camped there about three companies in all. Major Chaffee with his company of cavalry, Al Seber and a company of scouts were camped on the Wild Rye, about fifteen miles distant. Colonel Mason sent a courier to tell him to come in as quick as possible. ' Mr. Sixby after reporting ; the whole affair to Colonel Mason, start ed out to overtake Major Chaffee, who had started out for Sixby's ranch. Mr. Sixby came up with him about 1 o'clock in the night and piloted him to the ranch and put him on the Indian's trail. When the fcouts came in they found the body of C. W. Sixby, who had been killed by the Indians, but did not see Hudson. ' They did not stop to bury Sixby, but later on Colonel Mason and his 4 command came along and found the body of Hudson and buried it and Sixby's. They also found six Indian shirts with bullet holes in them, showing that Mr. Sixby and Mr. Hudson had wounded at least six Indians before they were killed. The scouts went on following the Indians' trail up to the top of the mountain, where they found the In dians waiting for. them at Generals Spring, and a fight ensued. The In dians then fell back on Clear creek, where a bloody battle took place. One soldier and one scout were kill ed and several were wounded, and twenty-one Indians were killed. The Indians finding themselves powerless to stand before the troops made a hasty retreat and . fled for their lives. During the battle a heavy hail storm came up and hail as large as walnuts showered down in a most disagreeable manner. The soldiers declared that the hail was more dangerous and disagreeable than the bullets from the Indians' guns. Thus ended the greatest war and trouble that the good people of Pleasant Valley have ever had to en counter. A. G. McCleve. Knew Ills Business.

On meeting Mr. Wells the next day he was told that she was all right, the pain had left her within two hours, and that the bottle of Pain Balm was worth $5.00 if it could not be had for less.
