S w Me sss i SAA HR AAA ARE A BATTLE WITH BANDITS, United States Paymaster Robbed of $29,000. ¥)\ Ambushed By Brigauls and Eleven of His Escort Wounded, One of the most desperate and successful robberies and fights in the history of Arizona Territory took place on a recent afternoon five miles north of Cedar Bprings, near Fort Thomas, Major J. W. Wham, United States Pay- master, accompanied by his clerk, W, T., Gibdon, left Tucson on a trip to pay troops stationed at Forts Bowie, Ad Thomas, San Carlos and Apache. They went by rail to Wilcox and from that point, by ambulance, overland. The funds paid troops in that department are in coin on | account of the scarcity of greenbacks. The funds for this pay-frip were sent from Los An the cf paymuaster, by express to Wil. cox. The amount was about §75,000, It was put in a strong wood box, banded with iron, Frhis was stra of the ambulance, which carried the pa ymas- ter and his clerk. The guard ride in a large, open, four-seat Wagon, three on a seat, so in case of attack they can form a lineand fire from the wagon, on the front and on the rear. The es cort carry a large supply of ammuni- tion, and are generally They follow in the rear of ambulance about one hundred and fifty yards. In canyons and rough country they ‘follow close up to its moment's notice, The paymaster disbursed at Fort Bowie and Fort Grant, which reduced his treasury to $20,000. He then left Fort Grant for Fort Thomas, where he expected to pay off during the afternoon. He had an es cort of ten colored soldiers in eom mand of two colored non-commissioned officers. The distance from Grant to Thomas is forty-five miles, through a meuntainous | Cedar Springs | and uninhabited country, Station is about midw ay, and is made his toric from the fact of being once an Apache stronghold. It was at this point, in a deen narrow gorge, that Major Wham was attacked. As the party approached the point they found the road obstructed by several large rocks. Several of the escort got out of their wagons, leaving their gun behind them, and proceeded to remove the rocks from the road As they gathered around a huge bowlder a galling fire came pouring down from the cliffs and breastworks At the first fire several of them fell. The others rushed back for thelr guns and the battle began Major Wham's driver was wounded early in the ght and crawled away into the bushes During the fight eight of the escort were wounded, four of them fatally. The shooting was at short range. Clerk Gibbon received vera bullet holes through his clothing. afor Wham was untouched, although the ambulance was riddied with bullet holes. The battle continued for half an hour before robbers were completely protected, and it ‘meant certain death to his entire party. he was forced to yield to their demands. The box of coin was taken containing §29 . 000. As the telegraph line from Thomas to Wilcox is under the control of the military authorities, they refused to allow the full de- tails of the fight to be sent out to the pub- lic. A special from Fort Grant says the wounded driver of Major Wham was found by D. E. Norton, who heard the firing at a distance of nearly two miles and went to as certain its cause. He brought in the driver and sen§ a courier for troops. Lieutenant Wilson took to the fleld with a large body of Apache Indians. Troops also were sent oat from Fort Thomas, San Car. los, Bowie, Huachuca, Port Lowell and Tuo son to cut off the escape of the robbers to Mexico. It was thought that the robbers were led by two old offenders, recently pardoned from the penitentiary, who are the most desparate men of their kind in the Southwest This is the first time in the history of Arizona that a paymaster of the army has been molested by highwaymen.
