the third day. we struck' an
Indian trail, and ray hopes res. Thej
were shcrt'Uvod, for the trail was an eld
one. Yv o socn lest it and rerniacd cm
march in the original direct:coi.
Nest day, soon after an hejir'3 halt
for 'dinner, the scouts reported aji Indian
trail. I hurried forward to inspirit, if. It
was a very plain cne, and evn to my
unpracticed eye it vas evident that the
band was much larger than wc had ex
pected to meet. I concluded hat the
several bands must , by a pi-ecbncerted
plan, have concentrated at soni( point.
I. was delighted at this, for instead cf
capturing cne band I srhculd capture all.
Without loss cf time I gave the nec
assaiy ino.trTictiens, took precautions' te
id falling into an ambush pid'gave
order to advance. Old Indian hunt
ers say: "If you see -Apache fjigns, bo
very careful; if you don t see signs,, be
ans sus
iey will
signs cf

much more careful. ' ' If the Ind
pect they arc being pursued, t
destroy, as far as possible, all
their trail. .The clearness cf the
were fcllowing assured me thai the In
dians were blissfully unconscioxi3 of our
presence. - '
.'"' "the scouts, however, were directed to
gremain near - the cclumn, and jhi order
not? to lose any of the credit cf the cap
ture I fell owed clcso cn their heels. We
moved rapidly, and the trail grew
warmer every minute. Wo wTcre at the
most not . ever two hours beiiind the
Apaches. . j
It vras growing dusk, and I began to
fear that wo should net coins jup with
them that night, but would be forced to
go into camp at dark. The country had
become rolling,- so that we could not see
any distanco - ahead, and this! should
have made me mere cautious to $void an
ambush. But I did not anficipbte any
thing cf this kind, for I still had) no rea
son to think that the Indians bad any
idea .we vrero clcso cn their trail.
As we came over the crest of a small
hill the scouts pointed out to me a thin
line cf smcke rismg beyond tjie next
rise cf ground. I at once halted and
dismounted my command. Undoubtedly
the Indians had gone into camp unsus
picious cf cjaV approach., j
I1 could hfcar my heart beat wTith ex
citement and anticipation, but in order
to lay my ijlans correctly it was neces
sary for me to see . the ground myself.
After a moment's hesitation I concluded
to take the first sergeant with rac. . ,'
We tied bunches cf grass on our heads
and then crept forward ten yards apart
until we came to the crest cf jthe ob
structing hill. I peered over, drew has
tily back and took a long breathi There
they were! There was nojdoubt of that,
for they were not 100 yards away, and
at the first glance I saw that they were
almost as many men as I had. j
This was rather more than I had bar
gained for. I had expected to meet ten
or a dozen, or, in case the bands had
united, 30 at most. However, I was in
for it now. It would never dp to re
treat, and my glory would be fall the
greater from such a capture. j
I took another glance and then beck
oned to my sergeant to fall back! a short
distance for a consultation. As he came
tp to me without waiting for! me to
rpeak he said :
; "Lieutenant, I think V.
He got no further, for at that point I
interrupted him. As tie began to speak
de-th
to speak, ; I said,, perhaps rather too
abruptly: '" ,
. "Never mind, sergeant, what
think.. Join the troop and have it r
to attack a socn as I come back; "
f -With a , suspicion cf a eraile ca his
but true to' his ; reputation as a
did soldier, he cheved without a
word. I again crept forward to the 'crest '
cf the hill, and protected by my mask cf
prass made a thorough '. survey cf the
ground. . ': '"'..'''' ; "'.' .
The Indians, as I had -. expect -od, be
lieving themselves absolutely srfe, had
taken no procautiens to giuird... against a
i:urprbQ. .-They had gone into camp cn
tlio b:;nk cf a small stream, which at
this point 'made, a bend away from me
lind then back again, "forming a V,.with
the Indian camp at the vertex. The
stream had at the bend cut into the op
posite Ifank, making it steep end hard
to scale." ' ' '- - ..
Their campnres were lighted, and the
Indians were evidently preparing . sup
per. Their rifles wero stacked a little in
advance cn one side,
o My plan was quickly formed. .1 would
send small detachments up and down
the stream to cut off escape in those di
rections and would "draw up my main
body behind the crest where I was.
They would have perfect Command cf
the c.nrp a"d could also pick c'ff any
cne who attempted to escape by scaling
the opposite bank. -
When everything should be ready, I
would advance alone as far down the
slope as possible, and as soon as xliscov
ere.: would call on' the camp to snrren-
At my call my men would appear at
rest with their rifles cocked and
cr' L I hoped by .this plan to capture
t o- hole camp without firing a shot.
I : turned to' my troop and cea-efully
r ' . ned the plan. Again I thought
' I noticed one or t wo peculiar smiles
: Ae men's faces.' I paid no attention
t t a m, but made the details for the'
two porties to cut off the retreat up and
do v,"i the stream.
I olected , trustworthy noncdmmis
slo :c 1 officers to command these parties
and started them for their, designated
places. I then deployed my men as skir
mishers, and after waiting a sufficient
lenglh.df time for the two detached par
tics to reach their places I gave the' or
der for the men to advance cautiously to
the crest of the hill. x '
It was quite dark by this time, and
with a' sigh of relief I saw my plans
completed without any alarm having
'been given.. "
I cauticusly advanced alone till with
in easy speaking .distance, when I step
ped' into plain view and called for the
surrender of the camp, at the same
time tolling them that escape was im
possible. . -r.
I was perfectly astounded' to see no
commotion, no confusion in the camp,
but in reply to my summons a voice an
swered in good English: .
'All right, old fellow, we oiiirender.
Now marcr your men in and have some
supper. " . o
I recognized the speaker as one of the
captains from the next post, who was
in command of a company of Indian
scouts, that I had mistaken for a band
of hostilcs. '
The joke was on mo, and I had noth
ing to do but to make the best of it. So,
hiding my chagrin as best I could, I
gave the order for the men to return for
their horses und march into camp.
The captain told mo that aJl the hos
tiles had retmned to their reservation,
but -when his scouts had reported to
him that we vrcre following him he
had guessed that we ; had not heard of
their return, but had mistaken his com
pany for the Indians. He had thought
that it would be a good joke on me to
let me go ahead and capture his com
pany. " : ;"'
After supper, when I went to inspect
the.horsos, the first sergeant said to me:
.. 4 'Lieutenant, I started to tell you
that I thought that those were friendly
Indians, and when' you sent me back to
the troop I cautioned the men not to
shoot unless I proved to be mistaken. "
It .would indeed have been a dreadful
mistake if any one had been hurt. So I
thanked the sergeant for his thoughtf ul
ness and at the same time mentally re
solved that the next time I would listen
to his advice.
It did not take long after I returned
to my post for the story to leak out
But it was a longtime before they tired
of telling how I captured a company of
our own Indian scouts. Lieutenant J. ,
