Pat Devine, who is now held under $10,000 bonds for the killing of Pat Hines at Hachita, was the hero of an Indian fight near Hachita in 1883 which is worthy of note even at this late date. Bob Anderson, then foreman for Head and Hearst, and Pat Devine were traveling across the country in a wagon when they were attacked by Indians. Devine was knocked out of the wagon by the force of a ball, but the wound proved to be slight. Anderson was shot through the leg and fell in the wagon. Devine quickly recovered himself and under a heavy fire ran and overtook the wagon. Anderson was able to hold the horses and Devine made it so lively for the Apaches that they soon took shelter behind a knoll some distance away. Devine tied the horses to the wagon, got An- derson on his back and carried him to an open space some two hundred yards away, where he built a stone barricade around him. He then returned to the team, which he led to the barricade, being fired on several times by the Indians. From that time on until dark every time an Indian showed his head a bullet from Devine’s Winchester landed in that im- mediate vicinity. After dark Devine made a scout around, then hitched up and brought An- derson to Hachita in safety. Anderson laid at Deming for several weeks under medical treat- ment, and is now mining arounud Hachita.
