Price Cooper’s Recollections of Filty Years Ago, The Prisoner of Apaches, Navsjoes and Comanches—Horrible Fato of & Trading Party—Charms of a Traders Life, Special Correspondence of the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, Ysuera, Tex., February 28.—Wonder greatly do I, sitting here in an abode in the primitive village of Yaleta on the banks of the Rlo Grande, if the modern people of the great city of St. Louis ‘‘re- member Joseph.” If they cven reflect thet it was not a net-work of rallroads that made that olty, but that it was their city that, as a magnet, drew theiron rails towards it. It was away back of even the Mexican war that the grand trail of the Santa Fo traders extended southward to the Clty of Mexico {tself. . Louls was their starting point and the Planters’ house thelr rendezvous. On the vast plains thoy dled, and In the mountain canyons, even not now devoid of dsnger, that civilization might live. Does somo one say that men like St. Vrain et al., according to modern ideas, only opened up the land because they expected to find fortunes In it? Granted. There are for- tunes hidden in the Slerra Oarcay, in the Slerra Madre to-day, but how many of our silken youth wlll carc to venture in there? With reverence for the brave men and the mnoble hearts who toldly buffeted the west, 1 interviewed Price Cooper yesterday. Am old man, this Price Cooper; born in Pennsylvania in 1813 and ralsed in the state of Illinols, He came to Mexico with the Santa Fe traders in 1833, being then a little over 20 and has been a frontlersman ever alnce. Although over the Scripture limit of threescore years and ten and somewhat bent and feeble of body, the old man’s memory is bright and vivid, and whatever harm untold bard- ships and suffering bave done his body, they have left his mental vigor unim- palred. At the last election in Novem- ber he was the choice of the people for the pos!tlon of inspector of hides and cattle for El Paso county, snd it was to the datles of his office and thelr proper performance that your correspondent is indebted for this glance at the romantic ast of frontier history. Mr, Cooper not eing able to ride, as in the old days, wished me to Introduce him to some of the rallroad officials at El Paso, that he might arrange with them the best means of accomplishing bis Inspections with the Jeast trouble to all partles, and haviag been of some servica to him he Invited me to his primitive abode, and over a glass of the Rio Grande wine celebrated in the novels of the late Capt. Mayne Reid, gave me some personal recollec- tions, A SANTA FE TRADER. “T wasn’t quite 21,” he commencad, “‘when I joined the traders. I joined in St. Loule, as we nearly all did, although the real point of departure was Indepen— dence, Mo. The company I joined was well known and one of the strongest in the Santa Fe trade. The firm name in St. Louis was Sullivan, Houck an’ Glas gow, an’ we traded with both Chihuahua an’ Sonora in Old Mexico. We never traded much with the City of Mexico, 'cause they all got theiratuff nearly by way of sea. On my first trlp we had for- ty-tive men all told in the party, an’ ev— erything went a'l well until we reached Guaymas. Here the party divided. Most went down to the City of Mexlco, and the rest, fifteen in number, started to seturn inland to Santa Fe. 1 was with this crowd. Well, sir, we had got about fiity miles north of Babispe, where ye recollect Crook was aboat two years ego, when we found ourselves eurrounded by Apaches. They wereso strong then that they dedn’t hunt their holes or look out as much for adead sure thing as they do now. They had a dead sure thing on us, though There was from 600 to 1,000 of them, an’ we were only fifteen. We took to a small, round knoll, with bowlders, behind which we hid, an' etood them off for two days an’ nights, They got our pack train an’ horses, an’ we bad no focd nor water, eo we had to surrender. Well, they then took us into the mountsins—into the heart of the Sierra Madre—an’ though it was in the month of Augost they gave us nothing to eat or drink. BURNED ALIVE, “One of {he boys dled, an’ when the Apachies got to camp they burned the rest alive, They hung them by their feet to limbs of a live-cak, leaving their heads hanglng within three feet of the ground, an’ then lit fires under them. If I live a thousand years I'll never forget their cries of agony.” “How did you escape?” inquired the Globe-Damocrat man, ‘‘Well, I have no wonderful story to tell you, an’ the truth s bardly know. Iwas but a kid, ye may say, an’as 1 stald among the squaws and papooses I uess I was overlooked, ~Aftor the urnin’ there was a great war dance, sn’ during the row I managed to getaway. For nine dsys an’ a halt I wandered bare- footed through the Slerra Madre, llving by chewing the maguey root, an’ at last, when out of my head, 1 was brooght into a little Mexican town near the divide of the Blerra. Luckily for me I had struck the,Casas Grandes river, an’, mad as 21 was I followed Its banks, That fellow, Dr. Tanner, ye know, lived forty days without food, but ye may bet yer life he couldn’t iive over forty hours in a Mexi- can sun without water. I think the town the Mexicans found me brought me to was Janos an’ from It I went to Chl- huahus. Yhad no money an’ no friends. The Indians took $700 I had when they got me, However, the bankers who handled the traders’ money, gave me all I wanted, an’ I got back to St. Louis to find'}ha whole of the outfit there before me. “You didn't care to go out again in a hurry?’ *I'don’'t know about the hurry. We never did things in & hurry in those days, but three years after found me while working still for the same firm in the hands of Navajoes."” 4 ONCE MORE IN THE TOILS, “‘How d d that come about?” “Bimply enough, I was out herding the stock, we being at the camp near Montaoa, a Pueblo Indian village near where Albuguerque now stands. Navajoes ran off the stock an’ csptured me with it, They carried me to Canyon Jose, close to where Fort Wingate now stands. They had thelr camp there, an' for two mouths I lived among them, an’ they treated me well.' Our chief food was burro meat, an’ its 'way up when the burro s young, One day the Com- manches, 700 strong, with whom the Navajoes were at war, were reported to be approaching to attack our camp, an’ I ) lgarned from some cf the women that 1 )above was to be sacrificed. A long, flat stone, supported at each corner by other stones like the legs of & table, was got resdy. Under 1t the eavages, at 6 o'clock in the morning, made an Immense fire with mes. quit and other stufl, which they kept piltn’ on until it was nearly red-not. I didn't speak much Mexican then, not to talk of Indian, but I learnt enovgh to mako out that the red devils intended to bind me hand an' fecot an’ rosst me alive on the stone L] soon as it was hot enough. I also learnt that the Comanche camp was about two miles from ours, an’ that they had a nigger, who spoke Spanish and Navajo, with them, who acted as a kind of interproter, As we wero 1,000 strong, they were hesltating about commeneing the fight. I think it was abou! la the afternoon that the stone was con- sidered hot enough. 1 was standin’ with a group of squaws an’ papocses when two warrlors approached to bind me. A DARING ESCA *I've often wondered they didn’t try to bind me afore, but I guess they thought 1 didn’t know what it all meant, When Lsaw them comin’ I knowed that if 1 didn't want to sec hades befors me time I'd bave to makea break. Any death was better than bein’ fried alive. There was & squaw standin’ near whth a papoose in her arms, an’ as the bucks approached to bind me, I suddenly snatched the child from Her arms and flung it cn the red- hot stove. With a yell that's ringin’ in my ears yet, the wholo outfit rushed to the stove to rescue it, an’, in the con- fusion, I ran as only men ran fer life, in the directlon cf the Comanche camp, So great as the sur- prise among the Navajoes, that I had three quarters of a mile start before 1 was followed, an’' I got safe into the Comanche camp before they got within bowshot of me. 1've been pretty nesr desth many a time, but never so near as that time,” and the oid trader gave a perceptible shudder at the recollec- tion, “I stald with the Comanches,” he re- sumed after a pause, ‘‘but threc months, They never offered to harm me, but I was afrald thet any day they might change thelr minds, as I was kept a close prisoner. In the fall of the year the Comaches went into csmp + t Bent's fort, an’a Mexican tradin’ company vislted the camp to trade with them., I man- aged to get acquainted with them an’ Don Jose Marla Garcla, their captain, agreed to try an’get me from the In- dians, He had some trouble about it, but at length I was ransomed for two old cap and ball muskets, some beads an’ a plece of cloth. From Benton's fort I went with the Mexican outfit to Santa Fe, where 1 had friends, who paid the Mexicans back what I had cost them.” “Dld yom go out on any more tripa?” “Yes, a number of them, but never had any more Indian {roubles to speak of.” PROFITABLE TRADING. “It was a money making business, that of a Santa Fe trader?”’ querled your cor— respondent, “I should say go. The bosees made up iu the hundreds of thousands, an’ it was a poor trip that dldn’t pay from $1,600 t0$2,000 a man. It wasa hard, rough life, though, but it had its charme. The young men of to-day will never know what it was except by readin’ or listenin’ to some old moesback llke myself. I wouldn’t have missed thote days to be forty years younger. Idon’t mean bein’ captured by Indlans, of course, but the old, wild Ilfe of the plains. Have another glass of wine?”’ Declining the proffered glass, as the Rio Grande wine is as strong and heavy as it s seductlve, your correspondent took leave of old Price Cooper, one of the few remaining links that binds the luxuriant ard sybarlte west of to-day with the wild, rough and rogged west of half a century ago. C.A. M. e —— Oil Inspection in Iowa. Sioux City Journal. B. W. Blanchard, state oll inspector, in an interview eays that the recent de- clslon of the attorney-general requirlng all packages of oil to be branded with the preciee result of the test, will have little practical effect as to consumers. It will, he says, enable jobbers to know the exact grade of the oil they purchase from refinars, ‘‘and prevent the sale of a low grade of oil at a price acked for a high grade.” The two statements do ] f when the inspector slmply that the ofl was not be- low the required grade of 100 degrees, ioferior oil could be kold to the jobber as high grade oil, nothing s clearer than that the eame imposition was Infiicted on the consumer; and even if thejobberpur- chased cii at its actval test, there was nothing to prevent his branding the pack- 8o with a higher dsgree and eeliing to the retailer at a higher figura, and so de- frauding the consumer. ~ Likowise there was nothing to prevent the retailer from dolng the same thing, Inspector Blanch- ard denies the report that the Standard 0il_company will lose $500,000 annually In Towa by reason of the attorney-gen- eral’s declsfon, but does not deny that it loss will be constderable. It is his opin- {on that the law for the inspection of il- lumination olls is giving entire satisfs tion and is generally obeyed, I, how- ever, has a few defects which he says the next leglslature can easily remedy.

Almost everybudy who bad anything to do with the trla), on elther ride, has seen more or less ill-fortune ever since, Somo of the fatalities and distresses that here vlsited many of those who were con- nected with the tefal or brought in con- tact In any way with tho assaesin, pre- sent remarkable coincidences when his predictions, spiteful and maniac-like culations. and curses aro called to mind It is not the least etriking of thiss ocotn- cidences that the republican party was defeated last fall, In ove of Guiteau's moments of real or assumed pas- slon, nct long before his execution he bela his bible high*in air and, with his eyes rolling and_teoth gnashing, sald that the party was doomed, and that the last republican president was serving, At the same time he prcnounced eome ramb- ling maledictions against Prasident Ar- thur, in which he aeserted that his party would repudiate him and nominate Blaine, and then be swept out of exiet- ence, At another time, when he was almost foaming with passion, he shouted: ‘“‘My inspired act prevented sn outbreak of nd when you have murdered me ou will find out.” It has been regarded y some people hers as a coincidence worth no'icing, because g0 striking, that but for President Arthur’s peremptory change of Mr. Blatne's policy—which the secretary of state inslated was Garfield’s policy—there was more than an even chance that we ehould have had a war with Chili. ‘Many thought so, at least, among the president himself. Ancther curious coincidence many find between Guiteau’s prediction that his act would put a stop to factional fighting in the republlcan party and the actual ces- satlon of the hot confljgt that was waged when he fired his pistol. + The list of fatalitles to those who were assoclated with the prosecution or de- fenss of him s strikingly large. The dis- trict attorney, whom Guiteau’s vocabul- ary was exhausted to curse, has been grievously afilicted. The sudden death of his wife, his practical suspension during the star route triale, and the loss of the oftice are the chief misfortunes, though by no means the only ones that have befallen him since the trlal. Two of the officers who had Guiteau in charge have died, one having been murdered. Of {hs jury that convicted him, one has dled, one has been in the insane asylam, two have failed in businese, and some of the rest have seea- nothing but trouble since the verdict was rendered. The judge who sentenced Guiteau was the owner of a hotel building that, without warning, collapsed one night last sam- mer, killing several people and causing a heavy pecunfary loss, One of the physicians who testihed that Guitean was sane was afterwards murderously attacked by an insane patlent; another had serfous legal trouble, while the' noted alienlet who Ineisted that {he assassin was not responsible for his act died suddenly in the prime of fife, and with an enviable and increasing reputation as a speclallst, The domestlc troubles of Mr. Scoville, the brother-in-law who defended Guiteau, developed, at last into a public scandal, followed by a divorcs, Dr. Woodward's death was hastened, it Is belleved, by the nervous strain caused by his attendsnce on the dylog president, while Dr. Bliss, who suffored very greatly in health by reason of his sleepless care of Garfield, found after the president’s death that his practice was scattered, and had to meet other embarrassments, Marshal Henry, who had Guiteau in charge, was removed from offica not long after in some dis- race, while Garfield’s steward, Crump, ald the foundation for organic dieease by his faithful nursing of the pretident, and cther mistertunes wera entailed, eo thst he had at last to eke out a liviog by keep- ing a cheap restaurant in a basement. In view of such a list as this, the super- stitious find a good deal of focd for com- ment. Among the more ignorant of the negroes here Guiteau has long been re garded as ths evil one. e —— The *‘old relisble”—Dr. Ssge's Catarrh Remedy. e —— A MEWSICAL MELANGE, Tho Oat in History, Literature, Fic- tion anu an Oll Maid's Lap, [Collected by Philadelphia News.] Cincinnati Enquirer: A string of fine enipe hung outside the kitchen door of a Chico valley sportsmen, A cat tried to h them, but could not.

Journal, Hunting for shiri-makers and other needle-women is disappointing work, for ofton when it is found where they ars woid to llve 1t is learned that they have been turned out of doors for not belng able to pay their rent, and have gone no one knows where. Some go to the bottom of the Harlem river llke the sewing girl who made twenty cenis a dsy working on cloaks and drowned herself last Monday, Some go to the bowery. Nearly all ultimately go to the almshouse, and the potter’s ficld, and thus those who sew velvets on the cloaks of the rich have a pauper’s crust and an unknown grave. A reporter yesterduy made his way Into & noisome rear coutt in south Fifth ave- nue and then into a miserable tenement house where, in cne of the rear rooms, an old Jady worked at platn sewing, She said that she had made large aprons for nuraes for 5 cents aplece. Workiog from dawn {i'l derk she made two sprops, earning 10 cents by her day’s work, She furnistied the thread. She had made fino ladies’ wrappers that bad so many pleats and so much trimming that she was able to make only one a day. stors gave her the Swork and paid her §2 a dozen or 16§ cents a wrapper. She thus nominally made 16§ cents a_day, out of which she had to pay for the thread she used in her pauperized work. : When asked how she earned her llving she said that she didn’t earn it. Her husband, a feeble old man, managed to got a day’s work once in a while, and be- tween them both they succeeded in earn- ing barely enough to eubslst on. What she made by sewing helped a little—it at least bought the salt. In one of the uptown tenement houses on the East Side lives a woman who gews for the rich, She is a widow, and supports by her needle a little breod of four children. She mentloned to the re- porter the names of eeveral well-known families and capitalists of enormous wealth living In Fifth and Madizon ave- nues who patd her §1 a day for sewing at their houses. She eaid that she had worked till midnight for six yearsto earn money enough te support her childven, coming home after doing her day's work for her rich customers to cut and make dresses for other cuetomers at her houee. | so She earned from §8 to $9 a week and paid $12 a month rent. ‘After paying her rent the five of her family had to Jive a month on about §4.50 plece. When asked why she did not charge her rich customers more than a dollar a day tor her work she sald that she had " raised her price to $1.25, and so many of them dropped her that she had to go back to a dollar a day. In a rear tenement house in West Thirty-fifth street, in two rooms as bright as a pin, live an old lady and her daughter, amewing-girl. The girl 1s highly skilled with her needle end does sewing on the finest coats, such as are worn by fash- fonable young men and coet a good deal of money. With all her exceptional sklll she makes but $5 a week, and some- times when she works on “‘slop tailor- Ing coats” she mskes but $3a week. Five or six years ago she made $8 a week, but her wages have been cut down from time to time till they are now 874 per cent lower than when they were but themesgra sum of $8a week. Out of her scanty earaings she supports her aged mother.
