The cowboys got together and secured mounts for about forty and started for Carlisle. All that night they beat about in the Mayflower district. They cut the trail of the Apaches, but not before they had killed two miners, and fol- lowed them rapidly. The Apaches doubled and divided into two parties, one crossing above and the other below Duncan and uniting in the hills west of the Gila. The cowboys kept on and struck their trail at Horseshoe canyon, and after a three days and three nights’ ride came up with them just about dusk in Doubtful canyon, near Stein’s peak. The fight was a hot one while it lasted. After it was all over Little Doubtful was found hiding like a young quail under a bush and taken back to Duncan, where he is growing up to give Uncle Sam’s troops some valuable exercise in the future.
