Illcj wias an exotic a child of the East but jhe j grew to manhood ambng the rougli frontiersmen, and the hoVl of the coyot the shriek of the destructive bliz- zarc; turd were as musjc to 'his ear. V His na !wasc gradually transformeel to a toughness that matched well the hardy cactusand the stunted chaparrjal. He was called Canyon Joe because! he was found iu;a canyon by some trappers and adopted by me. r He had strayedjfrom' a wagon train on its way to Utah and got lost.; At!1 this time he was fourteen years Id, and possessed of an amount of nerve . whieh, by assiduous cultivation, devel oped his capacity to cut a wide and crim- son swath' jn any community that gave him the slightest provocation.. .When I met him' it was several years after the warj 1 was with a mining party pros pecting in Arizona. We were in that bgac but picinrPQue mountainous region where old Gefonano so long defied the United States army. jThere were f teen ' q us in . the party, including a 1 half - trtd scout and several old tninerp, vvho knew the country pretty well. One evening we had; struck our camp on the mountain sidei near a small stream, and put out thfe usual pickets for Indians, when we heard a commptioa and very soon the scout" came walking in, leading a horse thatj had a rider. The horseman was Canyon Joe, and he seemed to be very happy t,o find j white men with plenty -to eat and jdrink. He had twio Indian scalps, freshly taken. ' dangling at the pommel 6f his saddle, and he explained that he killed the red skins in jan open, square fight The miners present did not credit this and lather suspected that he slipped upon ithem unawares. His face looked ;as if it had been tanned for ages by a hot "sun 'and scoured by. dirt scooped from an talkali plain. ... Although jonly medium sized he seemed to possess a wiry frame !and great: physical strength and endu Mance His eyes were, small and piercing fblack,- set Very close together, and sepa orated by the bridge of a very: thin aqui line nose. ; . He asked permission to camp with us that night, and agreed to act as .guide for the party during the rest of the trip. It was him than to considered better to utilii have him at large so w gave him a cordial reception. After kupper we sat before a small fire in sfront , of the tent.. Canyon Joe drank: freely Wnd began to relate some of his exploits (The half-breed scout, a tall, athleti man, sat, or "rather reclined, on the . ground by the fire, opposite Joef He kept his eyes fastened r on the latter and listened attentively, but never ventured sa remark. ; 'J j .

But when they made inquiries and learned that 1 1 had been nearly every wherq in the West", and killed ns mpny Indians ai the nef t one, they accepted my service?.. If they had not, I intended to ask one or two'out to settle for calling me a, .kil.

I had not gone far when I heard a volley of firearms. I rushed to the! river and saw the boat a few hundred yards above,, but no one was pulling at the oars!. Every man in it was dead or dying. A crowd: of Indians on both sides of the river were firing into the boat j and some were sj i aiming out to bring it to shore. The attack was a complete surprise, and I have no doubt the first volley killed them all. I wanted revenge, ijrat single handed I could not attack them.

I wasi a surprin to himj and I know he was to jme, but I drove my hunting knife into; his breast so quick that he tumbled backj without a groan. He was a stray Indian (belonging to the band who did the murderous w,ork at the river. For three days I kept up a brisk pace, and managed to ikill some name, which I ate raw. Then fatigue regan to tell upon me. ' "On the fourth day I trudged along weary and dispirited. I knew the In dians were not giving chase, tjutldidn't ; know how soon I might . meet another band. I came to a shallow stream and waded across. As I started toj climb the bank I was struck by the appearance of the soil. I scratched about a' little and , found that gold was plentiful. Fjor a while ijforgot nvy fatigue and drove two sticks down to indicate my j claim. 1 slept near by that night, and when I awoke the Sun was, up,' and two rough looking white men, armed with rifles, were standing near me. I tried to get up but I fell back exhausted, i The men came forward and asked me how I q ime th ere, and what my business was. il explained my escape from the Indians, and then they treated me better. They picked me up and carried me to a small house some little distance away.

I was feverish from hunger and wanted to j gorge at once, but they gave me food in small quantities. For two days I did not stir from the house. In my delirium I must have talked about the claims I had staked, for as soon as I became lucid I f ! noticed that a change had taken place in the peopie.

In the daytime they fre quently left me alone, and thea& I man aged to get at the food and eat enough to; strengthen me. The second night the husband of the Indian woman kept' watch. The next day I was naturally sleepy and slept soundly until noon. Then! I awoke and raved in a weaker tone of voice, as if I were gradually sinking. The half-breed girl, I noticed, was sleep ing all the afternoon. Before siinsct she awoke, and her mother said to her in the Sioux language, which I understood : 'Tacoma, j the stranger may die to-mor-. row.

It was a bright moonlight night, and I ' felt that Ij stood a good chance to have a rifle bullet put in me at long! range in making a dash for liberty and life. The girl took a seat near the door and the others soon fell, asleep. My rifle was standing in .the corner and my large hunting knife was on the pallet.

The morning of July 16th was an eventful one in the history of dogdom, says the Buffalo Express. Twenty-seven luckless captives, whese term of proba tion had passed, were offered tip on the electric altar. The new form of execution dispenses altogether with the "dull thud," the "sharp report," and the "loud splash.". One by one the doomed dogs were led from the kennel room to the chamber of death. One by one they were placed in a box about two by three, lined with tin; with about a!n inch of water in the bottom. One byj one they were muzzled with a wire running through the mouth.

Indeed, it is but a. short 'time since a man wa? shot to pieces in jcold blood, in a village not far from this place, and the murderer was never even pui un der arrest for his crime. The rifle sand the revolver have furnished the onlvl law known here, and tales of bloodshed' and crime can be unearthed which mak one wonder if it caja, be possible that this vi indeed the nineteenth century, and jthat w!e are living under a Government jsup postd to b! as : near perfection as pos sible. ' . :;'.;;' ) j 'j .. j The history of what is how known as San Luis Obispo County has been a blood stained record. A single incident which occurred in the early days of its settle ment by. the whites will serve as an' illus tration. About eight miles north of this place is the old mission of San Miguel, founded on the bank of the SaKnas River, ninety years ago, by the coadju tors of Fra Junipero Serra, This estab lishment was the second in size o its kind in Alta California. After the segre- segre gation of the mission property by the Mexican government this Avas firJally abandoned, and it -was supposed tof be open to occupancy by any one who jfelt so disposed. Hither came, in 1847, an Englishman named Read, with his wife audjfamily, consisting of three children and a negro-servant. They repaired a portion of the mission building and took up their residence there. ; A this 'was the only traveled .road from the northern ! to the southern part of the State, land settlements were at widely separated points, the Reads were often called ulpon to entertain travelers over night. liead had made money before he came here and was accustomed to boast of his suc cessa custom which cost him his ife. One night there arrived at the mission a party of sailors who had 'deserted f'orn a vessel lying in Monterey harbor. i and who were on their way south toward the mines, which had been discovered there long before Marshal made his great LJind at the Coloma saw mill. As was his custom Read entertained these sailors in hospitable fashion, and in the course of j the evening was led to talk of the wealth he had accumulated since leaving this home in England. The cupidity of the sailors was excited, and -after all hadl re tired fo.r the night they invaded' jthe apartments occupied by the Read family and murdered, every soul, even taking an infant by the heels and dashing out; its brains against one of the; pillars ofithe corridor. Then they loaded themselves with plunder and: pursued their journey southward. A day or two later the crime was discovered, and a party was at once organized and started in pursuit. They tracked the murderers through San Luis Obispo and Santa iBarbara and finally overtook them on ; the j Seashore, spme eight or ten miles beyond the latter place. Here a short but determined bat tle occurred, at the end of which eery one of the murderous crew lay dead on the sands, while their bones were lefts to become a prey to the buzzards and coy otes, i f . v ',. From the' very earliest settlement this section has beep "a dark! and bloddy groiind." Jt was infested by marauders of all nationalities, but especially iby Mexicans, br "greasers," and to this dav there are less localities where a whte man is not safe unless well armed and constantly on his guard. The first hanging- of criminals outside the law occurred as far back as 1853. A party of; ten mien murdered a pedlernot far from this place and then started for Los Angeles, going by way of the town of San Luis Obispo, boast! of There they were so foolish as to their crime, and for a time were not inn lesjted After their departure, however, f they were pursued by a committee (of citizens and overtaken. ; One of the murderers was killed on the ?pct. Three were captured, but the orhers escaped. The three prisoners were brought back ho San Luis Obispo, and hanged in public On their arrival, without benefit 1 of the law's delay. Another wasj subsequently ptured, and he,; too, was summarily suspended at the end of a rope. But this did not put a stop to crime. Ilanlly a month passed but travelers oa lonely roads were waylaid and murdered, and a's many as four bodies have been found at a single time along the highway lead- i::ir from north to south.

A party of eight 3Ieiicafcs went to a rancn a short distance south-; - east of this point, which had recenuY bcen purchase by '.two Frenchmen, named Baratie and Borel.

The wife of! the fori er they turned loose, and she ficaliv found her way back to civili zation. j The news of the murder quickly spread, and a "greaser'Vwassoba caught who had article;; ia his possession which had been stolen from the murdered man's ranch.'
