§ * he is on his way to his old home in © The Thrilling Border Exper- iences of a Mormon Who Renounced the Faith. How Matthew Johnson Aveng- ed the Killing of His Wife and Obildren, Tale 6f One Man's Frontier Misfor« tunes Denver Tribune, March Sth * Matthew Johnson, Arizona.” This inseription on the Windsor ho- cel rogister it was that attracted and retained the attention of a Tribune reporter last night. The words were written ina bold, clear, commercial- like style. ““ What have you caught on to?"” inquired the clerk, who had patiently waited for some moments to turn the book to arriving guests. “* Who is this man Johuson ?" asked the reporter. “He is a Mormon fresh from Ari- zona, I think, and, by the way, I un- derstand that he has had an experi- ence that wouldn't look altogether bad in print.” “ What is it 1” “Something about fighting Indians in Arizona and losing his family in an Apache raid—well I don’t know the . full particulars,—or even the first facts. Ido not know, though, that New York state, and after many years' life in the Mormon church has renounced the faith, There is an old schoolmate of his in the city, and he stopped over a day to visit him, Ah, there he is if you want to inter- view him." The clerk pointed to one of the ro- tunda seats. In it sat a man whose years would be diflicult to guess. There was that in his appearance which indicated a prematurity of age and aged habits, Ho was gray al- most to pure whiteness of hair and whiskers, Yet his face, although slightly pinched about the nose and eye corners, was in its openness and freshness that of a young man of twenty, He had a heavy white mus- tache, and black eyes that nervously rosmed from object to object,s1o matter what were the surrounding at- tractions. The fact that he had lived means of his retrieving the fortune lost, it caught fire and burned to the ground «ne night, leaving him almost destitute, This completely disheartened John son, and discouraged with the pros pect of recovering at St. George or being again able to get the foothold he once had at Salt Lake, he looked around for some new place to settle. About that time the dissatisfied Mor- mons of the northern towns com menced to emigrate to Arizona, The reports came back that in the valley of the Little Colorado had been dis covered the best of agricultural land, and that region was destined to be- come the future province of the church. Johnson fell in with the ex- citement, and putting what little of worldly goods he had saved from the wreck of his fortune into an outfit he went with his two wives and ten chil- dren to the promised land of the Col orado Chiquito, The stories of the great undeveloped proved to be romantic fabrications. The valley reached, after a series of hardships, which were made sad by the drowning of one of his children at the Colorado river crossing, it proved to be nothing more than an_ uninviting waste of sand, alkali and sage brush. Of all dreary spots on earth, it looked the dreariest. The river was explored for miles toward its source, but while Johnson remained, no place had been found that would encourage culti- vation, or warrant . settlement Many families were taken down with dysentery, caused by the drinking of the river water, which was the only liquid that could be had. Johnson’s family wers among the number, and in the deaths which ensued another wife and six children died. With the remnant of iis onco large housohold ho journeyed south to the San Francisco mountains, in Arizona, not caring what fate that wild region might have in store for hin, He found no suitable place to locate and resolved to be the discoy- erer of some desirable land that could be acquired by the church, Ho kept boldly on, crossing the arid waste of Williamson valley, and entering the Hualpai mosntains the spring of 1872, Ho camped in the valley of the Hual- pai river, and finding the soil gicd and the climato congenial, built a log cabin and settled at a point four miles from a fort which the government had just cstablished. Making a trip to Prescott, he converted some of his property into money, and returning put in & small crop. His ranch be. came a favorite station place for the freighters running between Prescott and Hardyville, the government steamboat station on the Colorado i The patronage of theso people ed him to open a small supply 80 long on the frontier was suggesied by the rough cut, cheap-looking suit of light colored clothing which he wore. The man was sitting without enter- tainment, evidently waiting for some- body. The reporter approached, and, after having introduced himself, at- tempted to engage Mr, Johnson in conversation. ‘1 have stopped at Denver to meet an old companion of my school days,” he said; ‘“one whom I always re- ed almost as a brother—Colonel , H. Dudley. I knew that he came to Colorado years sgo, and although I had not heard from him for some time, I had reason to believe that he was still here,” Just then Colonel Dudley came into the rotunds, and the two men shook hands as only-long-separated friends do upon meeting. Presently the reporter made an ef- fort to obtain the story of Mr. John- son’s experiences lmong the Mor- mons and the cause for his trip east. He refused to tell them, but subse- quently Colonel Dudley,whom he had spoken to fully regarding his past life, recited them. The tale, containing as it does the trials and hardships of a man who adopted the Mormon faith, married in it, and years afterwards lost his family, together with every- thing he had of value, is intensely in- teresting, Mr. Johnson was born at Cato, New York, a little town in Cayuga county eighteenth miles north of Al- bany. He is . now 48 years old. When young lads, he and Colonel Dudley were companions in fun and study, both having attended the Mex. ico academy of Oswego county. Af- ter having grown to man’s estate Mr, Johnson gave promise of becomiug a Presbyterian minister, but while he was preparing himself for the fold he suddenly formed a liking for Mormon- ism, and discarding his studies one day after a long discussion with his father, he left for Salt (Lake, This was 10 18060, when he was 26 years old. He made the overland journey with a small party. Arrived ut Salt Lake he was soon married to a line of wives and settled under the burdensome work of sup- porting u large family, He became promiuent smong the elders; ho en- tered commercial life and for a tine enjoyed the full measure of prosp ty; the faith seemed alike probfic of moral aud physical comtorts. Beveral years ln‘er he was induced to remove his tamily to 8t. George, a new settlementin the southern por- tion of the Territery near the Arizona fine, He then had three wives and four times us many children, one of the wives, however, being the mother of five of the progeny, He was well fixed as the money term goes, his for- tune counting up into the thirty thou- sands of dollars. Dospits this fact and his upparent security against fail- ure, adversity came, aund finuly Le found himself as poor as when ho hud atore, which soon became very profita- = 0. The future agamn assumed a form of prosperity m.g happy promise, and Johnson, with his wife, two daughters and boy, the remaining three of his family of twelve children, settled down to a life of comfort and domestic enjoyment, The summer past, the fall came and with it a lulY in the freighting Knmnnga. The Mojave and Tonto Apaches had revolted at the Verdi reservation, a hundred miles to jhe eust, and wereraiding the country in small bands, Most of the freight trains had been withdrawn in consequgnee, and many of the set- cavalry almost gave up all hope of overtaking him. They spread out, however, and made a skirmish throngh the cottonwood forest. When they brought up in a little glade up the stream n coule of miles they were as- tonished to find Johnson leaning over the de d body of the Indian chief, hacking and cutting it with a huge bowie knife, in insane frenzy. Ihe body lay upon the river bank as if it had been pulled out after the iuflic tion of the death wound. The head was nearly severed by a stroke of the knife, and Johnson had scalped it. It was many minutes before his fury had spent itself, the soldiers never interfering with the horrible satisfac- tion which the widowed husband and | childless father was taking for his wrongs, Finally, when he had grown calm enough to explain, he told how he had seen the Tndian making up the river, and resolved that none should escape he followed as best he might. When he got through the timber he found the trail, and although it was done with much difficulty, he suc- ceeded in tracing it to the river bank. There it became lost, and knowing that the Indian conld not have crossed the stream without having been seen on the opposite side, which was open anddenuded of trees or underbrush, he concluded that the Indian was secreted in the bank. While walking down the bank a head was protruded from a pool near the shcre. It was Del- shay taking air. Stealthily Johnson approached and before the Indian could realize that the avenger was nigh, he was grasped by the hair and hus throat was slit from ear to ear. Johnson then pulled the body out of the stream, and was wreaking his re- venge upon it when the cavalry came up. The remains of the Indians were allowed to remain where they -had fallen, prcy for the buzzards and coyotes, The soldiers took the pouches and munitions of war as trophics of the raid, and just as the party was about to leave the scene, Johnson, by a deft operation, took a strip of skin from off the spinal line of the dead chief's back, which he yet preserves as a razor strop. ‘When the fort was reached, John- son requested to be employed in the scouting service and was engaged. He became the bloodiest and most relent- less of the border ecouts, and figured prominently in all the campaigns against the Apaches up to the recent one which General Carr led, earning the title of ‘““Apache Matt.” After the murder of his family he lost all in- terest in Mormonism, and is now con- tont to take up the broken thread of his first religion. The intervening years have satisfied his revenge, and although he is no: what one would call a cynic, his strangely terrible exper- tence has made him taciturn and morose, Mr. Johnson will probably leave for his old home in New York State to- day.

Dr. Kiva's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds tlers along the roads had vacated their ranches and gone to the small towns and forts for protection. The Indians killed and slaughtered and devastated those valley homes which were unpro- tected. The Fifth cavalry and de- tachments of the Twenty-third in. fantry, under command of General Orook, K\mued the Apaches and fought them by their own tactics, but the Indians remained in actual possession of the country throughout the winter months, John- son’s ranch, which had acquired the title of the ‘“KFour Mile House,” was considered safe against assault because of its proximity to Fort Hualapai, One early morning while the father was absent at the mulitary post deliv- ering a load of potatoes to Major Crittenden, the band of Mojave In- dians, of which Delshay was chief, at- tacked the ranch, outraged the mother and tortured her and the three children to death. When John- son returned his cabin was in flames, and the blood of his dying family yet warm. Standing there in the midst of that scene of horror and desolation, he registered a solemn vow that not until tho awful wrong had been avenged would he again sleep. Al- most crazed he went back to thé fort without even waiting to inter the re. mains of his wife and children, and bricfly told the awful tragedy. With- in filteen minutes a detachment of K company of the Fifth cavalry were mounded, under command of Col. Mauson, and on the trail of the copper- skiuned devils, Johuson going along, A parly from the fort went to the rauch and buried the four mutilated bodies. Night and day.for forty-eight hours the cavalry pursued the Apaches, Johuson leading the ohase like an in- spired bloodhound, From the trail Asthma, Bronchitis, ete., away in trial bottles free of cost to the afflicted. ¥f you have a bad cough, cold, difficulty of breathing, hoarseness or amy affection of the throat or lungs by all means give this wonderful remedy a trial.
