1 BATTLE OF CAVE CREEK
SALT RIVER CANYON. IH
Brigadier General Earl D. Thomas,
United States Army, was retired from
active service at Denver. Colo., last
week, after a military record cover-
| ing nearly forty-nine years of con-
i ttnuous Service. The closing days of
this military life were appropriately
observed at Denver, where he relin-
quished command of the department
of the Colorado, which Includes Art-
B zona. > '
On the day he stepped into civil
life he had reached yie age of 64
; years, having been born in Illinois,
on January 4. 1847.
m Arizonians, especially, look back on
“|fce past life of this splendid soldier
w With very much interest and pleas-
“ are. He was intrepid In his work,
F subduing the Apaches, and in the ten
, year war that followed, it is due to
1 General Crook that such able lieu-
tenants as Earl D. Thomas that the
good work was accomplished, and the
country opened to the march of in-
dustrial progress, so plainly in evi-
dence today.
During nearly half a century in
his military life. General Thoma*
served in the West, mainly, and was
in the Philippines, Cuba, Porto
Rico and all places where duty de-
manded.
Battle of the Caves.
From Major J. W. Ross of Tucson,
the following thrilling account was
given of this memorable fight with
tire Apaches:
"Brevet Major William H. Brown,
Captain of the Fifth United States
Cavalry, was ordered from old Camp < Par* almost c<
Grant, situated eleven miles from ihe blocks of stone, ten
port from Lieutenant Ross as to what
was In the immediate front.
’’Nantaje, who seemed confident
enough, led the advance down the
steep and dangerous trail into the
Salt river canyon. It was a dark,
gloomy and cavernous place, with
just the flickering glimmer of light
that foreshadows dawn, to indicate
the narrow path that sigzagged down
along the cliff, but Nantale trod i
confidently, even if silently and anx
iously. He was closely followed by
McIntosh, while Lieutenant Ross, at
the head of his trailers, followed
silently a few feet in the rear. They
had not gone more than six hundred
yards from*,the main body, when
Nantaje stopped suddenly, held up
his hand in warning, and the com-
jnand instantly stopped on the trail.
Standing
mouth of the San Pedro river, to take
the field against the hostiles, and
like all the rest of the detached com-
mands, he was to move over and op-
erate against the Indians in the Ton-
to Basin. Major Brown was a most
capable officer, who had been pro-
moted from the ranks, a man of
sound judgment and much experi-
ence in Indian affairs. His force
consisted of two companies of the
Fifth Cavalry and three Apache
scouts, and he had as his Junior offi-
cers Captain A. B. Taylor tyid Lieu-
tenant Jacob Almy of the Fifth
.Calvary, Lieutenant John G. Rourke
of the Third Cavalry, and Lieuten-
ant W. J. Ross of the Twenty-second
infantry, the last two officers being
aides-de-camp on the staff of Gen-
eral George Crook.
Crossing the Pinal mountains in
the early part of December, 1872,
■which at thpt season were covered
with snow. Major Brown encamped
in a small valley near the northwest-
ern extremity of the range. From
this point the troops moved over the
various Apache trails, sending the In-
dian scouts in advance under their
guides and interpreters, McIntosh,
Felmer and Antonio Besais. But al-
though the'- advance had one or two
small skirmishes with the enemy, the
main body of the command did pot
get near them.
"On Christmas day, Major Brown s
detachment was joined by Captain
James Burns of the Fifth Cavalry,
In command of troop G of that
regiment, and eighty Pima Indians,
with Lieutenant Earl D. Thomas as
his subordinate. Two days later
Major Brown announced to his off!
cers that he was about to undertake
the capture of one of the Apache
strongholds, located somewhere In
the canyon of the Salt River, and
which had been frequently sought
for by the troops, but its location
had never yet been discovered, al-
though for a long time it had been
suspected that there, were two or
three large Apache strongholds
somewhere within the gloomy de-
file. Major BrowlOiad In his com-
mand a friendly Apache scout, called
Nantaje, who had at one time lived
In this stronghold, and he had agreed
to guide the troops there If they
would make a night march, as other-
wise they would most surely be seen,
and destroyed on the trail, for the
Apaches If forewarned, could easily
defend It against any number that
could be sent against them.
"Leaving his pack train In camp in
charge of ‘Yank Bartlett, well known
in Tucson, with an ample guard to
protect it, Major Brown and his
troops, led by Nantaje and the other
scouts, took the trail on a cold, star-
lit December night, and started up
the hitherto undiscovered Apache
trail in the canyon of the Salt river.
Each man had his belt\freshly filled
with cartridges, and a number of un-
opened packages were also placed In
his tightly rolled blanket, which pass-
ed over his right shoulder, and in
which was a small allowancee of
coffee, bread aifcl bacon, and on the
outside of It. wrapped up carefully,
to prevent its hitting against a rick
or making a noise, with a canteen
full of precious water. Strict orders
were Issued that not a match should
be struck, a loud word spoken, or
even a cough allowed to escape from
any one while on the march, and all
orders were passed backward from
the head of the column In a whisper,
from man to man down the long
line, which Indian fashion, followed
the trail single file.
“It was a very bitter night and all
the men shivered somewhat as they
tolled silently upward through the
almost total darkness, each man
seeking to plant his feet in the foot-
steps of the man who preceded him.
Towards daylight, the scouts report-
ed that they had seen a light ahead
of them, so the command was stop-
ped on the trail to await further de-
velopments. .
"In a short time’McIntosh and Fel-
mer came back with the Information
that the light they had seen must
have been made by a band >of
Apaches who had evidently been
raiding the whites and the peaceful
Pima Indians In the Gila valley and
•had Just passed through the moun-
tain above on their return to the
stronghold with the plunder, and
they had left a number of played-out
horses and mules 1» a little depres-
sion on the mountain side, and gone
on to their rancheria, and from all
. Indications, within a very short
time previously.
"Major Brown ordered Captain
Burns with Troop G of the Fifth
Cavalry .and his Pima Indian scouts
to go to where the abandoned horses
were and hark back on the trail In
case any more Apaches were coming
up. He then ordered Lieutenant Ross
of the Twenty-first Infantry to take
fifteen enlisted a men, together with
an the mule packers who had come
along as volunteers, and who were
excellent shots, to go ahead on the
trail, and led by Nantaje and Scouts
McIntosh and Felmer to prevent any
attempt at surprise in that direction,
as tt soon would be light and the
situation was not particularly reas-
suring. In the meantime he would
form his command and wait a re-
perfectly still, Nantaje
leaned forward, evidently listening
intently. A moment latef he turned
to McIntosh, who was a'most touch-
ing him, and whispered ‘Apache.’
Motioning the others to stand fast,
Nantaje, McIntosh, Felmer and Lieu-
tenant Ross crept slowly forward to
where there was a turn In the trail,
knelt down ^nd glanced carefully
around. One quick glance and Ross
had taken it all in. Less than forty
yards beyond the angle In the trail,
behind which he was crouching, was
the Apache stronghold. About 400
feet from the crest of the wall of the
canyon was the wide mouth of an
open cavern. A few feet in front
of this opening was a natural ram-
continuous great
or twelve feet
higher than the trail which led up to
it, and just at the mouth of the
cavern. In full view by the light of
the camp fire, was a band of war-
■Wors, singing and dancing while
rralf dozen squaws were busy cook-
ing them a meal on their return, red-
handed Trom their raid in the Gila
valley. After a whispered consulta-
tion the men crept silently forward
on the trail and under instructions
from Lieutenant Ross, each man
carefully epeked his piece, and
then by the light of the Indians1
camp fire, each singled out the In-
dian that was his best mark, and at
the word, all fired together. The
crack of the rifles and the deafening
echo of the canyon was succeeded by
wild shrieks from the Indians, as
six of their braves fell dead at the
first volley. The frightened savages
for a moment or two. sought only
safety in the Interior of the cavern
and behind the rtatural stone ram
part in front of It, but Lieutenant
Ross and his men continued to fire
rapidly as possible into the open
cave at any Indian brave whom they
could see. Within three minutes
however, the astonished Indians be-
gan to rally, and grasping the rifles,
commenced to return the fire of
their assailants, whom as yet they
could only dimly see In the early
morning light About this time, how
ever, Lieutenant Bourke, at the head
of forty-five or fifty: men, came rush
ing and leaping down the narrow and
dangerous trail with a recklessness
only warranted by the desperate need
Ross might have for reinforce-
ments.
“Major Brown, having thrown
Lieutenant Bourke and his men for-
ward, lnstanly on hearing the echo-
ing roar from the Salt river canyon,
which told him that Ross was en-
gaged with the Apaches, and
Bourke came none too Boon to save
Ross and his men from a counter at-
tack from the savages. In a few mo-
ments Ross and Bourke had taken
positions on either side of the Apache
cave, and sheltered their men behind
the adjacent rocks, so that they were
comparatively safe from the Apaches’
fire.
"Lieutenant Bourke had been told
by Major Brown not to attempt to
do more than hold the Indians, in
case he found they had attacked
Lieutenant Ross, until he could get
up with the rest of the troops, so
Bourke and Ross simply kept up a
sharp fire on the enemy’s flank, and
waited. They did not have to wait
long for the major soon made his
appearance with the rest of the com-
mand, and assumed the control. Just
as the reserve appeared one of the
Apaches endeavored to crawl
through the rocks around the right
flank. He had almost succeeded but
he could not resist giving a war-
whoqp of defiance from a high rock,
which drew a shot from one of the
men Instantly killing him. After re-
aligning his troops behind the rocks,
directly fronting the enemy's position.
Major Bro^m formed a second line
In the rear on their flanks complete-
ly covering them In front and flank.
Besides he wished his second line to
be able to turn and face a new enemy,
In ease of a rear attack by any
savages who might come to the
rescue of their beieagtrrSd ones from
any rancherlas that might be locat-
ed within a few miles/ especially as
he realized that the tremendous
echo of the canyon carried the sound
of combat a long distance. Having
invested the rancheria so Strongly
that escape for the Apaches was
practically Impossible, he ordered all
firing to cease, and through his In-
terpreters, summoned the Apaches
to an unconditional surrender. Yells
of rage, defiance and threats were
the only reply. A second time he
cdlled on them to surrender. The
Apaches again defied them, saying
they would fight to the death, and
daring the troops to come on.
Major Brown then asked them to
let the women and children come
out. assuring them that he would see
that they were protected and treat-
ed kindly. ‘This was savagely jeered
at, and the troops were again defied.
For the next hour the two com-
batants closely watched each other
the expert riflemen of either side
seeking an opportunity for a shot,
but so well were both sides favored
by lying rooty* that there were very
few. If any. casualties on either side.
“The major now decided upon an-
other plan. A direct assault would
have been too costly. The rampart
behind which the Apache warrior*
lay was a smooth wall, or line of
rocks, too high to be successfully
escalded without ladders, and even
then It would have been almost an
impossibility. The cave Jthere the
Indians lay was not very deep, and
It was now 8 o’clock in the morning
and light enough to see that the roof
of the cave hung at such an angle
that rifle bullets fired at It would
deflect and glance no aa to Injure the
occupants. Accordingly, the first
line was ordered to fire upon It and
rain bullets into the mouth of the
cave, so as to hit the roof at an
angle to make tlfem glance down-
ward. especially so as to tell on the
Apache warriors, who lay massed
atMfcr.up to the rock rampart. In
front of the cave. In less than five
minutes our fire began to tell. The
Apaches soon rose and fired over
the rampart at our men. who hit
more than one of them as they ex-
posed themselves. Soon the wailing
of the women and children was
heard, and Major Brown ordered the
men to cease firing, and as soon aa
It was qhlet enough to make his In-
terpreter heard, he again demanded
their surrender, or In case the war-
riors would not surrender, he asked
that they would at least let the wo-
men and children come out. For a
few moments no reply was made, and
all was silent. The Indians had also
ceased firing, and It seemed as
though they might be consulting as
to what course to take. Soon, how-
ever, a wild wailing song or chant
was heard, and the interpreter
shouted: ‘That’s the detfih song!
They are going to charge! Here
they are!’ and twenty or more su-
perb looking warriors quickly sprang
down and tried to get around the left
flank where the warrior who near-
ly got away in the morning, tried to
escape.
“Scarcely had they mounted the
rampart, when nearly every man In
the front line dashed from his cover
and made straight for them, opening
the fire on them as they advanced,
killing five or six, and driving them
headltng off the rampart and back
into the cave, while the second liner
headed off and drove back those who'
tried to escape by the flank. The in-
stant that they were behind the ram-
parts however, they renewed the
ftgtit, still singing and chanting the
death song.
“Of the officers who were under
Major Brown, only one is living,
Earl D. Thomas, now Colonel of the
Eleventh United States Cavalry. Lieu-
tenant W. J. Ross died in Tucson.
Major Brown and Captain Taylor
died In Washington. D. C., Captain
Burns died at Carrlso Creek, N. M.,
and was burled at Fort Wingate, N.
M.. Captain John G. Bourke of the
Third Cavalry died at his home In
Phllaledplla. Pa.; Lieutenant Jacob
Almy of the Fifth Cavalry was killed
by the Apache Indians at the San
Carlos agency, Arizona."
While in Prescott, a few weeks ago
General Thomas, who with the other
officers of the Fifth, performed
such valiant service, stated that Del
Shay one of the foremost and dar-
ing Chlrlcahua Apaches of Arizona,
was killed by his command In that
fight, and after the chleftan fell it
was but a question of a few hours
until the remnant of the band sur-
rendered. General Thomas also stat-
ed. that not an officer participating
’In that fight is alive today, except
himself, and even the brave men em-
ployed in a civil capacity, Including
the boss packers, have passed away.
After the Battle of the Caves,
Lieutenant Thomas was ordered to
Whipple, and again In the following
year, 1873, dintlngulshed himself
while a lieutenant under Crook, in
another memorable conflict with the
Wallapais on the Santa Maria, when
with his one troop of cavalry he) was
sent to capture a rancheria In a
steep canyon, several miles away. Re-
turning In a few days he faced Gen-
eral Crook and reported "that the
Indians had been captured as order-
ed, and the prisoners accounted for.”
There were on hand but a dozen wo-
men and children and a few bucks.
The official report gave a few casual-
ties, but from civilian sources It was
later learned that over fifty-five
warriors had been killed. After this
fight Lieutenant Thomas suddenly
sprang Into favor with General
Crook, while in civilian circles he was
very much admired for his effective
military work. This battle closed the
Apache warfare In this section of
Arizona, after It had 'reigned for
over a decade. The Indians were
gathered at Camp Date Creek the
ruins of which are standing, and
were then taken to Camp Verde. The
year following San Carlos was open-
ed to them as a refuge, and this
disposition closed the wars in the
northern portion of Arizona.
In 1878, Lleutenaht Thomas left
this department for She Sioux coun-
try.

Hereford, Tex., Jan. 21.—The city
and county are completing the Tterra
Blanco River causeway at this place.
The city has completed the north aide
division, which required 12,000 yards
of dirt. The top of the causeway is
38 feet from rail to rail and is 450
feet in length. This is the work of
the city. The bridge was first raised
six feet and the approach on the
county side (south) Is being cut to a
low gradient. ^
The supervision of this work has-
been under the supervision of City
Marshal Sullivan, who Is also street
commissioner, and he deserves the
thanks of the public for the very
close attention given the Job and the
efficient work done.
When completed the causeway will
be heavily'macadamized.
At a banquet and talkfest held at
the Arcadian ,cafe Monday night, by
the business men, it was decided that
Hereford would enter the ne?» Pan-
handle publicity campaign, which will
be organized at Amarillo, Texas, Jan.
31. The new Panhandle Is a terri-
tory 237 miles long by an average of
142 miles wide and containing 33.-
654 square miles, and comprises 38
counties of Tegas.
A small corner of Texas, but equal
to Maine and but little less than In-
diana. It contains four counties,
either of which are larger than Rhode
Islahd. The new Panhandle of Tex-
as will become famous for Its fertile
soil, pure water and bright sunshine.
Hereford’s apportionment was 31,-

To the layman, there has always
been some curiosity to know why a
lawyer’s statement of 600 pages of
long primer should be called a brief:
The Dr. T. T. Still Osteouathic In-
firmary staff has been rushed lately,
handling so many cases of Pneu-
monia. One fine old gentleman
whose sister had Just died with It.
was stricken with It and said when
he began to recover that all the dope
In the world could not have pulled
him through, for he was- worse than
hl-n sister, and he recovered nicely,
while she had so much poisonous
medicine to throw off In addition to
the stagnant blood in her lungs that
the poor, weak nerves couldn’t ac-
complish It, and she died, while we
freed the nerves to the liver and kid-
neys and they relieved the overtaxed
lungs of their burden, and he was
well again. In fact some of these
pneumonia cases that were taken so
badly were restored so quiekly that
they hardly realized they had it. We
have been so fortunate in being call-
ed at first In many of these cases
and therefore haven’t lost a case yet.
Among the cases last winter, we
were called to Rev. Roberts when he
was given up with pneumonia, but we
put him on his feet again In spite of
his ago and bad condition, until he
wouldn't take any dope or -have It
given in his family any more than he
would go to a sewer to drink.
In acute cases Osteopathy works
like lightning. Last week a child
came from New Mexico suffering In-
tensely with acute appendicitis. We
relieved It In a few moments and the
next morning it was playing around.
It has gone home well.
Another case of a little child with
appendicitis from Arizona came ntght
before last. The doctors pronounced
the case hopeless and said It couldn’t
11 vo 12 hours without an operation.
In 12 hours it was restored to nor-
mal temperature. It will need to bo
treated a while to keep it from hav-
ing a return of Its troubles, as the
spins' was congested so It had be-
come chronic.
In the case of the manager of the
Overland Magazine, who was stricken
at Mexico City and had been pro-
nounced hopeless unless an operation |
was had at once, he lived to get here
to El Paso and In a week you would
never have known he had It.
In all these cases they were lied
to in order to frighten a few hundred
out of them for operations. Hun-
dreds of women have come to us
scared to death over the cancers and
everything else that they have told
them they had, and unless operations
were performed at once death would
result. They are all alive and well
now. Don’t pay any attention to
their lies for a few hundred out of
you. Either they lied to all these
about their awtful condition or else
we are the most successful doctors
that ever lived on earth. You can
take It either way, for they get well
under Osteopathy, and that is what
you are after.
When jve cured that bad case of
acute spinal meningitis In a few min-
utes, this Is what the father said
about It to the newspapers:
“It was the most convincing evi-
dence of the efficacy of Osteopathy
for quick relief In curing splna‘1
meningitis and acute diseases I ever
saw, and would convince any unpre-
judiced witness that Osteopathy Is
the only rational way to cure dis-
eases. Rev. J. C. Roberts.’’
He Is the man who was given up
to die with pneumonia and was re-
stored to perfect health. He Is
somewhere In 70 year* of age. He
lived at 820 Mesa avenue at that time
and is well known tn the city and
state, as he was a member of the
legislature for several years. His *on
Is connected with the Rio Grande
Abstract company and can be seen
at any time.
Ladies that have had opera-
tions for every kind of trou-
ble are pouring into the Dr.
Still Osteopathic Infirmary,
all telling the same old
story, that they are worse
than they ever were before
the operation.
One lady from New Mexico who
had been chopped up until nothing
else was left that could be trimmed
off, after taking ail the money they
could scare out of her. came to us
with a great abcess m her side and
tubercular limb, because the spine
was still congested and the stagnant
blood had to accumulate somewhere.
We freed the nerve at the spine and
the blood forced circulation and she
Is doing nicely. That spine ami
drawn hip was the cause of it all.
"In the blood Is the life” and there
is no other way to cure diseases.
Some have had the appendix ent
off and now everything Is weak and
lax and they suffer all kinds of Indi-
gestion. We loosen the nerves to the
liver and get some bile started to di-
gest the blood and the blood to cir-
culating in the bowels, and they re-
cover and live for some time and en-
joy fairly good health, but you never
can be made whole again after an
operation. But we ?an cure you as
well as you ever were In your life
If you come before they have scared
you Into an operation.
You don’t cut your nose off
when you have a *bad cold,
For you have sense enough to know
it Is not the nose's fault It has stop-
ped up. It is the same way with the
appendix or uterus or any other or-
gans; the nerves get deadened at the
splno and no circulation in the part
affected and disease is the result, as
all stagnant blood must escape In
some way, and if blood does not cir-
culate It cannot be carried out that
way and so must escape tn cores.
When you heal these places up with
dope the blood becomes saturated
with it and oxertaxees tho lungs to
purify it and tuberculosis Is the re-
sult. That is why 35 per cent arc
dying with consumption. When you
have an Osteapath free the nerve to
an^ part of the body there is no
stagnant blood left in ihe body, so
you ctynnot possibly haVc consump-
tion.

Out of these 1200 cases of female
troubles wc have handled here In El
Pn9P we have never given an opera-
tion. Most of them were started by
exhausting the nerves to digestive
organs and congesting Ihe nerves at
spine by taking drugs. Our record
of handling 8000 eases of all kinds of
diseases, 75 per cent of thbm glv.^

we have lost but eight, proves Osteo-
pathy the only rational way of cur-
ing diseases.
Just, think of the eases we have
cured that had no hope! Blood pois-
oning, throat and lung troubles, fe-
male diseases, pneumonia, rheuma-
tism, neuralgia, fits, typhoid fever,
scarlet fever, deafness, hlindifess and
all kinds of eye troubles, appendicitis
and all klndk of indigestion and liver
troubles, Bright's disease and all kid-
ney and bladder troubles—In fact
you cannot 'think of any disease wo

way. In fact, there is no other way
of permanently curing any disease
but by freeing the nerve at the spine
We have cured hundreds of bad ,(1 UB K,,t purr„ct circulation In tho
oases of neuralgia of the eye and
head. In fact 1 don't believe there
Is any other cure for neuralgia.
We have so many eases of paraly-
sis and in every case It Is caused
either by injury or from taking phy-,
sics. They whip up Ihe nerves to
heart and exhaust them, and thus
shut off blood from the head until
part, and you are bound to get well
if there is any hope for you.
"IN THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE
OF ALL FLESH" Bible. And you
will|*p(ver change it. Grippe fades
like the sunshine under Osteopathic
treatment.

~~ INTERIOR OF DR. A. T. STILL OSTEOPATHIC INFIRMARY.
Where all these Blind people were cured who had been given up as hopeless by the entire Medical Association
when they met here In El Paso, Eight thousand patients of every kind of diseases have been handled there
with a loss of but eight patients. Their trade has grown to such magnitude that two thousand patients were
handled last year; fifteen thousand treatments given. Fifteen hundred of these were from other cities and
states, who paid out one hundred and fifty thousand In El Paso. Dr. Ira W. Collins, the physician in chief
paid out ten thousand for running expense*. They cure their patients. There is no need of any one being
sick in El Base Just read what six thousand of these people say who have paid their good money for Osteo-
pathy. If we were a fake and hadn't delivered the goods, would they bo standing up for us now? By their
fruitsshall know them. Do men gather grape* from thistles? •
