pest, which Uncle Sam’s boys seemed
unable to do.
One night the Indians crossed just below
Duncan, and rounding up what stock they could,
headed for Carlisle. The news telegraphed to
Clifton, and some of the boys from the Copper
camp there came down on an engine.
( 51 )
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.
