Grier- | son's command, which encountered | some rough work in the wildsof Texas. A part of the most interesting events of the campaign are here given, as they are narrated by Mr. Humphreys in a highly graphic style. The command under Gen. Grierson consisted of various companies of the Tenth cavalry; a company of Inaian scouts commanded by Lieut. F. H. Hills, of the Twenty-fourth infantry, and one company of rangers, com- manded by Capt. Bailey. areat portion of the time Gen Grierson and stafl’ were roaming over the mountains and plains with no other escort than a small detachment of cight cavalrymen and Sergt. Humphreys. At Eagle Spring, Tex., a supply camp was es- tablished, and company H, of the Twenty-fourth infantry, detailed to guard the camp and supplies. On the evening of the 28th of July a scouting an(y of three cavalrymen and one ndian guide was attacked by a party of Indians, outnumbering them twenty to one, and pursued to the camp. One man was shot through and his horse badly wounded, while another had his revolver shot out of his hand. They were hotly chased. Company G, of the Tenth cavalry, were soon on the trail of the Indians, and came up with them the next morning. The Indians had surrounded Gen. Grierson and stafl, who were en route to Eagle Spring from Fort Quitman, and a hot fight was in progress. Luckily the had hastily constructed a good fort before the hostiles came up or he and his party would have been overcome before assistance could have reached them. Company C, also of the Tenth, came up at the same timé with Com- pany G, andtook a hand in the fight. The battle lasted about and hour, when the Indians gave way and re- treated to the mountains. Martin Davis, of Company C, was killed, Lieut. Coladay, of Company G, was wounded, and several horses were shot and captured. A number of Indians were killed, just how .many is not known, for the dead were carried from the field as soon as shot. THEY WERE STRAPPED UPON THE BACKS of their ponies and these followed their tribes into the mountains with the dead Indians dangling from their sides. Gen. Grierson and his troops went to Eagle Spring after the fight, where they joined the rest of the com- mand and got ready to start anew on the trail. On the same evening of the fight and not far from the place it occurred, the east-bound stage was surprised aud captured. The driver, Bob Baker and one passenger whose name was unknown, were killed; the mail bags cut up and all mail matter destroyed, and the mules were slaughtered and carried away for food. Sergt. George J. Whipple and a detachment of six men went out the next morning and took the bodies of the murdered men, together with the wrecked coach, in- to the post. The men were buried near the stage station where there are the graves of many soldiers and civi- lians who have been killed by the red men at different times. Gen, Grierson with five companies of cavalry pulled out from Eage Spring in a northeasterly direction on the 3d of August. The line of march was to- ward the Gaudaloupe mountains, The command camped on the night of the bth at a place called Salt Springs, about sixty-five niles from the moun- tains. On the morning of the Gth, immediately after breakfast, a large body of Indians was discovered coming around a curve of the mountains. There were four or five hundred war- riors and about the same number of ponies and cattle, The objective point of the Indians was the very place Gen. Grierson was then occupying. At this point was the only water within several miles, The troops marched out and completely surprised the braves, after a few shots, put them to flight and they took to the mountains. Capt. John C. Gilmore, Company H, Twenty-fourth infantry, with his company and a small detachment of cavalry, was in command of the sup- ply train and en route for Salt Springs with supplies for the troops. Coming in contact with some of the hostiles which had been routed by Gen, Gr son, a spirited skirmish ~took place. The men were ready and eager for a fight, and the Indians, seeing that business was meant, speedily decamp- ed, with a loss of two or more. No soldiers were killed or wounded, and the train was saved from capture, Capt. Lee Boe, Company K, Tenth cavalry, who was en route to join Gen- Grievson, came through the Rattle- snake mountains opposite Salt Springs about this time. He captured a num- ber of head of cattlo and ponies by gaining access to a large Indian camp. The occupants thereof had seen him coming and vacated without so much as making an effort to retain it. Upon examination it was scen that the camp was an old one, and had probably been oceupied for years, From this camp the Indians could look down upon Grierson’s command, Notwith- standing the fact of its proximity, he had camped ey sl days and did not know of its existence until Capt, Lee Boe brought in his reports, In | their haste the Indiaus left many cat tle half-skinned which they were pr | paring for food, Every day until the command left the region, scouting par ties brought in cattle and ponies ab doned in the flight of the panic-stric en enemy. It is supposed that a great many of this band were WHITE AND COLOKED SOLUIERS who have dcserted from the regular army. This belief is strengthened by the manw:uyres of the Infiimu while in battle. Besides Mr. Humphroys and others who were in the battle at Rocky ilidge were close enough to THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, AUGU see that there were Americans amony the enemy, some of whom had o soldier's clothes. During this battl some of the Indians ran great risks in driving off horses and pack mules belonging to the army, and succeeded in getting some away. At this battle one man had a most exciting for life and narrow ¢ capo fr h. He was a membor of Co, ith cavalry. In the heat of the engagement his horse was sh from under him. The Indians, on their ponies, started for him, and | only chance was to flee for life towar his comrades, though the bullets woer Mlyn thick and fast all_around hii He seemingly into the very fac of death to escape death, and his cs cape was almost miraculous. Wi running he fired over his shoulder with his revolver, and his friends als bogan shoot ng at his pursuers. Hui phreys fired shot after shot, but with out effect. The man was almost oy hausted, and his bloodthirsty pur suers about to overhaul him, At this critical moment a shot fired, eithor from his own revolver, or by some trionds, struck the foremost Indinn | and hurled him dying from his pony The rest turned and fied and t brave soldier, who came so near death, | was saved. The lucky shot was fired i in the very nick of time, and the muan | is living to-day. On August 2, 1880, Private Tocust, | Co. C, Tenth cavalry, was sent out | with a scouting party from Eagle Spring. The party, consisting of e men, five su]l{ll'l'u and three Indian | guides, came upon a large body of | the enemy and were forced to retreat, | The survivors reported that Tocust's horse was fagged when they were at- | tacked and that he | MUST HAVE BEEN KILLED, | When last seen he was at the foot of the mountains and the Indians were in hot pursuit A detachment of Company F., Tenth cavalry, while scouting in the Gauda loape mountains, on August 14th, ran afoul of a party of Indians and a hot engagement followed. The Imlixma{ outnumbered them by great odds, but | by hard fighting thoy succeeded in | driving the redskins back into the| mountains. At the first volley the | soldiers lost nine horses; one man w. also badly wounded. Saturday, Aug ust 17th, was a day of rejoicing in camp for it brought a supply train | with many things much needed by the | men, Not the least welcome of all was the mail for everyone. Officer as | well as private was glad to receive word from home, family, and friends. | Private Moore, Company B., Tenth cavalry, who had been captured, w fortunate enough to escape, arrive in camp about this time, and confirmed | the suspicion that many of the suppos- ed Indians were former soldiers who had deserted. He found many of them, and by pretending to be a de- serter himself he soon found an op- portunity to escape. Afterwards whiLu coming across from Ba Hoo Moun- tains as a courier to the camp at Eagle Spring, he again ran into a band of Indians and again pretended to be a | deserterand tmrclu«\ with them until a chance to escape came, and of this he availed himself. This was done 1n three days. He mistook the party for soldiers until too near to escape with- out detection, A horse belonging to the Tenth cavalry has a remarkable history, and is called by that regiment the ‘‘re- markable horse,” At the battle of Rocky Ridge it was supposed he, with several others, was captured by the Indians, but on the third day after- wyrds he came into the camp at Eagle Spring, fully equipped, with his bridle, saddle, the carbine and EVERYTHING A CAVALRYMAN U Although the picket lines of the dif- ferent companies joined together, the horse went direct to his own company'’s line and neighed until the guards re- cognized him and took him in, His rider says this is the third time he has done the same thing. His success in escaping from the Indians is certainly remarkable, and he well deserves the name the Tenth cavalry have hin—the ‘“Remarkable Horse, *‘Indian Dodger.” From the 4th of July, 1880, until October Serjeant Humphrey's com- pany was engaged in escort duty between Eagle Spring, Fort Quitman and Fort Dayis, Tex., while timos were the liveliest there, and no doubt saved many lives. Nota stage coach or any kind of a vehiclo traversed the roads between these points with- out an escort from this company. A Eun of the company was stationcd at fort Qnitman, which until then had been forsome time an abandoned post. But after the campaign of 1880 was begun, a telegraph office was opened there It was alse a stage station, While the company was here Gen, Burns was shot and killed when en route to New Mexico on railroad busi- ness, His body was taken back to Fort Quitman and buried by the de- tachment, From the foregoing some little idea may be obtained of a soldier’s life on the frontier, He is far away from home and friends, in_the midst of an enemy’s country, and that enemy is bloodthirsty and implacable. None of the comforts of lite can be obtained, but only its hardships. How many who rest at home in security cver think of what the defenders of the frontier endure and undergo for main- taining that security. orthe A Baptist Minister’ 1 am a Baptist 0 n thonght of | graduated in medi Experience. ster, and before I heing & clergyman, I ne, but left a lucrative practice for wy present profession, ten years a 1 was for many years a suffer- om quinsy; “Thomas’ Kelectric Oil 1 me.” I was also troubled with and Thomas' Ee cetric Oil al- e, My wife and child had "homas's Eclectric Oil pin time it will seven times out of ten, 1 am coufid ¥ cured ther cur ent it is a cure for the mast obstinate cold or cough, and if any one will take a suall teaspoon and half fill it with the Oil, and then place the end of the spoon in one nos- tril and draw the Oil out of the spoon into the head by suiffing as hard as they can, until the Oil falls over into the throat, and quum that twice a week, 1 don't care how off nsive their head way be, it will clean it out and cure their catarh.

When 1 come home we'll have some birds. “Won't that be nice?” chimed Mrs Spoopendyke. *“Canyou cateh birds with that thing/" and Mrs. Spoopen dye fluttered around the improved breech-loading shot-gun, firmly im pressed with the idea that it was some kind of trap “I can kil ‘em with sined Mr, Spoopendyke. *“That is un, my dear; it isn't a nest with three speckled eggs in it, nor is it a barn with a hole in the roof You stick the cartridge in here and pull the finger-piece, and down comes your bird every time.” “Well, isn't that the groatest thing; 1 suppose if you don’t want a vart ridge, you can stick a duck orturkey in that end, too, or a tish er a lobster, and bring it down just as quick.” ““Yes, or you can stick a house or a corn field, or a dod gasted female idiot in there, too, if you want to!” snorted Mr. Spoopendyke. *“Who said any- thing about a partridge! It's a cart- ridge that goes in there!” *Oh, " ejaculated Mrs. Spoopendyke rather crestfallen. I seo mnow. Where does the birds go!” “He goes to night school, if he hasn’t any more sense than you have,” Mrs this," ex- > worted Mr. Spoopendyke. “Look hero now, and VIl show you how it works,” and Spoopendyke, whose ideas of a gun were about as vague as those of his wife, inserted the cart- ridge half way in the muzzle end, and cautiously cocked the weapon. “And when the bird sces that he, comes and pecks atit! Isn't that the unniest!” And Mrs, Spoopendyke clapped her hauds i the enjoyment of lier discovery. *“Then you put out your hand and eateh him. “You've struck it!” howled M. poopendyke, who had the hammer on half-cock, and was vainly pullir the trigger to get it down. ‘‘That's the idea! All you need is four feath- ers and o gas bill to be a matingale. With your notions, you only want a new stock and a steam trip hammer to be a needle gun. Don’t you know that dod-gasted thing has got to go off before you get a bird! You shoot the birds; you don’t wait for 'em to shoot you! At home we used to chop their heads off with an ax,” faltered Mrs, Spoopendyke, “So I would, if 1 was_going after measly old hens,” retorted Mr. Spoop- endyke, who managed to unoock the contrivance, ‘‘but when I go for yel- low birds and sparrows 1 go like a sportsman. While I'm waiting for a bird,” continued Mr. Spoopendyke, adjusting the cartridge at the breech, “T put the load in here for safety. And when I see a bird Iaim and fire.” i Bang! woent the gun; knocking the tail-feathers out of an eight-day clock and plowing a foot furrow in the n'ul!. perforating the closet door and culmi- minating in Mr, Spoopendykes plug hat. “Goodness gracious!” Mrs. Spoopendyke. ““Oh my!” Mr Spoopendyke gathered himself up and contemblated the damage. “Why couldn’t keep still,” he shrieked. *““What'd yo want to dis- turb my aim for and make me let it offf Think I can hold back a charge of powder and a pound of shot while a measly woman 18 scaring it through a gun barrel?” 1 “1f it had been abird how nicely ou would have shot it!" suggested Y. Spoopendyke, soothingly. *If you should ever aim at a bird you'd catch him, sure.” “Oh! you know what T could d With your information about gun- nery you only need a wad in your mouth and kick like a mule to be a mountain howitzer! 1f 1 had your in- telligence on sporting subjects 1'd hire out for a shot tower! Don’t you know you've spoiled the dodgasted gun?” ‘And Mr. Spoopendyke, anxious for some excuse to take it back to his friend Specklewottle, who loaned it to him, {Iuld it out and eyed his wife sternly. *You've ruined that gun,” he continued, solemnly. ‘It won't ever go off again.” “Never mind, dear,” consoled Mrs, Spoopendyke. **1t's been off enough, and I‘\l just as lief have some clam ay birds, You go to bed and we'll try and do without birds.” SIt won't ever go off again,” peated Mr, Spoopendyke, a8 climbed into his couch, “That is & ruined gun,” and he turned his face to the wall, { Mrs, Spoopendyke slowly disrobed, having first turned a stream of water mto the gun from the faucet, aud be- took her to rest. “‘It may not go off again,” she thought, ‘‘but if it does the neighbors will think the water main has burst,” with which reflection she began to pat the ear of Mr, Spoo- pendyke, who turned over like an earthquake and wanted to know if she thought she hadn’t done enough mis chief without lamming him like a dod- gasted blacksmith! — squeaked Bucklin's Arniea Salve, The best salve inthe world for euts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt rheum, fever gores, tetter, chapped hands, chillblaing, corns and all kinds of skin eruptions.
