Stopping tho "Firo Wagon."
When tho first railroad was laid
over the wostern plains and the cars
began running to San Francisco tho
Indians 'viewed the locomotive from
the hilltops at a distance, not daring
to come nearer the "fire wagon." A

wagon, no hoss." An Apache chief
gathered a party of warriors in Ari
zona and went soveral hundred miles
to eee the terrible firo wagon that
whistled louder than the eagle's
scream and poured out dense black
smoke. W. M. Thayer says in his
"Marvels of the New West" that the
redskins grew bolder and once at
tacked a lire wagon, expecting to cap
