When we discovered that the animals had been scared by wolves instead of Indians, several of us set out on foot in search of them. “l went down on the trail side the valley, hunting out the and was half-way to the Picketwire and near to the mouth of Big Sandy when night came on. There'd been a flerce rain up this creek, which in the rainy season sported itself one day as a harmless little rivulet, and as a riproaring river the next. “That evening It was a river. and knowing its bottom across the Arkan- #as flats a heap better than the driv- ers on that relay, I meandered down to the stage road to pilot the coach across, and incidentally to earn a ride up to Wolf Creek. “The trail crossed Big Sandy right at the edge of the foot-hills and about a hundred and fifty yards above its mouth. It wanted, by my reckoning, about half an hour of stage-time at the crossing. I proposed to swim over to meet the coach on the east bank, and 1 was passing over a broken sagebush ridge, to get down to the crossing, when, going Into a litle dip in front, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be the backs of several horses. “It was well on toward dark, and knowing that I could not hope to ap proach doose horses from behind, 1 doubled over and scooted round a crest of the rise. I took a peep, and gee ing nothing of the animals, entered a little ravine which 1 though would enable me to head them off, ag they had appeared to be moving slowly. “When I thought 1 had gone far enough, and still neither saw nor heard anything of the ponies, 1 turn. ed and went up the glope of the ravine in a direction opposite the one in which they had been travelling. And when I had come to the level, 1 saw some shadowy figures which seemed to be worming and wiggling among the pagebushes. I hadn't time to speculate before a low volce, gruff and angry, spoke to me in the Kiowa tongue, bidding me get down on hands and knoes, . “I lost no time In getting down. The Indian had taken me for one of hs fellows, and evidently none of the orawlers had taken a second glance at me, for I had on a wool hat and citizen's clothes, a week rattled the rescye spite of a “It was darker down among the sage-bushes, and I lay quiet for a minute, waiting for a safe chance to joi back into the ravine. Then there was a rustle of newcomers, who had come up the slope In my rear. These dropped on all fours close to my heels, and |{t was these fellows sneaking over the ridge behind whom I'd mistaken ‘in the darkness for horses! “And this whole bunch was creep: {ing down to the crossing to pour a murderous fire into the coming coach, doubtless when it should be most helpless, trying to struggle out of the flood, “They were | the messenger ,@head of his coach, and neither his | horses’ hoof-beats nor the rattle of the wagon could be heard above the noise of the swollen current ef the Big Sandy. “There was but one thing I could do to prevent immediate contact with { the Indians in my rear, and that was to. craw! forward.

The stage. driver had halted, and wag turning about. The conductor and coach pas sengers were using their repeaters in a rapid fire upon the Indians. I bent forward, and with eyes and nose only above the surface, scooted for the stage, : “At that instant the Indians, con fident in thelr superior numbers, plunged in a body into the current and made a rush for the coach, with only their heads and the arms that held thelr weapons above water. “When 1 had come within twenty yards of the coach, | saw that the driver of Its fourdn hand had mis mapaged the mules, and his teams were swung around against a bank, which they could not mount-—much less could they drag the coach up after them. “At the top of my lungs I yelled at him to turn into the stream, to go with the current straight into and across the Arkansas.
