  Speaker 1: Chapter fourteen, Treacherous Braves, a faithful dog, and a murder.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: During the latter part of January eighteen eighty two, mining
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: engineers named Andrews and Wiswall from Denver, Colorado appeared at
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the Ranger camp in Isleta. They had a new ambulance
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: pulled by two elegant horses and led a fine saddle pony.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: They were well fitted out for camping and had the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: finest big black shepherd dog I had ever seen. Mister
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Andrews used a springfield while mister Wiswall carried a sharp
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: sporting rifle. Besides, they had shotguns and six shooters. These
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: miners wanted to buy one hundred pack burrows, and not
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: finding what they wanted in the Rio Grande Valley, decided
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: to go over in the upper Pecos Valley near Eddie
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: or Roswell, New Mexico for pack animals. They consulted Lieutenant
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Baylor about the best route they should follow. He advised
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: them to travel down the overland stage route to Fort Davis,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: thence by Toya Creek and on up to Picos. But
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the engineers thought this too much out of their way
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and concluded to travel by the old abandoned Batterlefield stage route,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: which leads by Waco Tanks, Alamo Springs, Cornudos Mountain, Crow Flat,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Guadalupe Mountain, and thence to the Pecos River. Lieutenant Baylor
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: warned the men that this was a very dangerous route
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: without a living white man, from Isletta to the Pecos
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: River more than one hundred and fifty miles distant, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: through an Indian country all the way. Nevertheless, Andrews and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Wiswall selected this latter route, and the third day out
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: from our camp reached the old abandoned stage station at
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Crow Flat about noon. This was in an open country
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and from it one could see for miles in every direction.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: A cold north wind was blowing, so for protection the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: two men drove inside the old station. Walls unhitched and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: hobbled their horses and pony, and were soon busily baking bread,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: frying bacon, and boiling coffee, not dreaming there was an
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Indian in the country, though they had been warned to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: look out for them. Like all men traveling in that country,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the two miners had the appetite of coyotes and became
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: deeply absorbed in stowing away i rations. Unnoticed, the horses
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: had grazed off some three or four hundred yards from
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the station, and the two men were suddenly startled by
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a yelling and the trampling of horses feet. Looking up,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Andrews and Wiswall saw ten or twelve Indians driving off
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: their horses using their guns. The two white men started
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: after the thieves at top speed, both being Western men
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in good shots. They hoped by opening on the redskins
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with their long range guns to get close enough to
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: prevent them from taking the hobbles off the horses, but
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the animals made about as good time as if they
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: had been foot loose. This fact was well known to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the Texas rangers, who hobbled and sidelined also, and even
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: then their horses when stampeded would run as fast as
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the guards could keep up with them on foot. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Apaches can't be taught anything about horse stealing. They are
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: already past masters at the art. And while some of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the Indians halted and fought andrews and wistwall, the others
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: ran the horses off and got away with them. The
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: two miners returned to camp feeling very blue. Indeed, a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: council of war was held and they were undetermined the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: best course to pursue to walk back one hundred miles
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to El Paso and pack grub, blankets and water. Was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: no picnic. On the other hand, it was probably seventy
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: five miles to the Pecos. But they finally decided to
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: take the shortest way to assistance, which proved the traditional
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: longest way. They determined to stay within the friendly adobe
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of the old stage stand until night. To keep up appearances.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: They rigged up two dummy sentinels and put them on guard.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: They had no fear of an attack at night, especially
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: as they had a dog to keep watch. They left
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the station at dark. Shep the dog, wanted to go
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: with them, but the men put a sack of corn
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and a side of bacon under the ambulance and made
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: him understand he was to guard it. They then set
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: out and followed the old stage route along a horrible
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: road of deep sand. At daybreak they were near the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: point of the Guadalupe Peak, and after having traveled on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: foot about twenty five miles, they were pretty well worn out.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: The old stage road here turns to the right and
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: gradually winds around the mountain to get on the masland.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It makes quite a circuit before getting to the next
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: water pine springs, but there was an old Indian trail
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that leads up the canyon and straight through. As Andrews
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: and whist Wall were afoot and taking all the short cuts,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: they took this trail. It was late in the day
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: when in a sudden bend of the trail they came
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: in full view of an entire village of Indians coming
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: towards them. The Redskins were only two or three hundred
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: yards off and discovered the white men at once. Under
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: such circumstances, the two pedestrians had to think quickly and
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: act at once. They could not hope to escape by running,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: for most of the Indians were mounted. Fortunately, to the
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: south of the trail there was a sharp sugar Loaf Peak,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and for this Andrews and Wistwall made with all speed.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Reaching the summit, they hastily threw up breastworks of loose rocks,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and as soon as the Indians came into sight, they
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: opened fire on them. The Redskins returned the fire, but
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: soon discovered they were wasting ammunition and ceased firing. The besieged,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: suspicious of some stratagem, kept a shit sharp lookout and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: soon discovered the Indians were crawling upward to the barricade
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and pushing boulders before them to shelter their bodies. The
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: boys decided to keep perfectly still, one on each side,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: and watch for a chance to kill a savage. The
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: watcher on the west side, where the fading light still
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: enabled him to see, saw a mop of black hair
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: rise cautiously over an advancing rock. He fired at once.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The head disappeared, and the bowlder went thundering down the hill,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: with the two white men running over the warrior, who
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: was kicking around like a chicken with its head cut off.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: As good luck would have it, most of the attackers
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: were on the east side, taking it for granted. The
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: men would try to escape in that direction before the
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: astonished Apaches could understand just what was occurring. The men,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: running like old black tailed bucks, were out of hearing,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: while Night spread her dark mattle over them in kindness.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Being good woodsmen, the fugitives had no trouble in shaping
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: their course to crow Flatter Again. Worn out and weary
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: after traveling more than fifty miles on foot and with
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: not a wink of sleep for thirty six hours, they
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: made the old stage stand and found their dummy sentinels
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: still on guard, with the faithful shepherd dog at his post.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He was overjoyed at the return of his masters. At
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: the old adobe station, Andrews and Wiswall were in a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: measure safe, for they had water and grub, and the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: walls of the stand five feet or more high, would
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: shelter them. Since the Apaches had made no attempts to
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: kill the dog or rob the ambulance, the miners were
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: satisfied that the Indians, after stealing their horses, had kept
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: on their way to the Mescalero Agency near Tularosa. This
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: stage station was on the highway of these murderous, thieving
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: rascals who were constantly raiding Texas and Chihuahua, and in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: their raids they had made a deep trail leading north
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: from Crow Flat or Crow Springs as some call it,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: toward the Sacramento Mountains. After the fugitives had rested, they
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: decided they would pull out after dark and hoof it
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for Isletta. The fifty miles walk over a rough country
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: had pretty well worn out their shoes, so they used
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: gunny sacks to tie up their sore and bleeding feet. Again,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: giving Shep his orders with heavy hearts, Andrews and Wistwall
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: turned their faces to the Cornudos Mountains, with the next
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: stage station twenty five miles distant, without one drop of
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: water on the way. They were so tired and footsore
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: they did not reach Cornudos until late the next day.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Here they hid in the rocks, among the shady nooks,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of which they found cold water and sweet rest. After
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: several days, the two men dragged their weary bodies, more
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: dead than alive, into Isletta and to the ranger camp.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Lieutenant Balor ordered me to take eight rangers, and with
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: two mules, proceeded to Crow Flat to bring in the ambulance.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Andrews and Wiswall had abandoned there the first day we
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: made the Juaco tanks. Waco is Spanish for tanks, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: in the early days travelers spelled it Waco. Many wild
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: adventures have occurred at these tanks, fights between the Mexicans
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and the Comanches. During the gold excitement. This was the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: main immigrant route to California. Here, too, the overland stage
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: route had a stand. The names of Marcie, General Lee,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and thousands of others could be seen written on the rocks.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: The Indians themselves had drawn many rude pictures, one of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: which was quite artistic and depicted a huge rattlesnake on
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: the rock under the cave near the stage stand on
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: the eastern side of Waco. Many times, when scouting in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the Sacramento and Guadalupe Mountains, I have camped for the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: night in the wacos. Sometimes the water in the tanks
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: had all been used up by the travelers, but there
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: was always plenty of good cool rain water twenty five
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: feet above the main ground tanks. Often I have watered
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: my entire command by scaling the mountain to those hidden
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: tanks and filling our boots and hats with water, poured
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it on the flat roof like rocks so it would
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: run down into the tanks below, where our horses and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: mules would be watered in good shape. The city of
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: El Paso, I am told, now has a fine graded
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: road to those historic mountains, and many of its citizens
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: enjoy an outing there. Our next halt was at the Alamos,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: across the beautiful plains, at that time covered with antelope
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: that could be seen scudding away with their swift change
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of color, looking like a flock of white birds. Here
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we found some Indian signs at the flat above the springs,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: but it was at Cornudos that we again saw the
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: old signs of the Apaches. This Cornudos is a strange
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: conglomeration of dark granite rocks shot high in the air
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the plains by some eruption of
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the earth. In ages past, this was the favorite watering
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: place of the Tullarosa Agency Indians on their raids into
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Texas and Mexico. From Cornudos to Crow Flat is a long,
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: monotonous trap of twenty five or thirty miles, and we
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: are arrived in the night and were promptly challenged by
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the faithful sentinel old shep. Although we were strangers. The
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: dog seemed to recognize us as Americans and friends. He
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: went wild with joy, barked, rolled over and over, and
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: came as near talking as any African monkey or gorilla could.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We gave him a cheer. The faithful animal had been
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: there alone for nearly fifteen days. His sight of bacon
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: was eaten, and the sack of corn getting very low.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: The rangers were as much delighted as if it had
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: been a human being they had rescued. The dog had
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: worn the top of the wall of the old stage
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: station perfectly smooth while keeping off the sneaking coyotes. Tracks
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: of the latter were thick all around the place, but
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: shep held the fort with the assistance of the dummy sentinels.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: We found everything just as the owners, Andrews and Wiswall
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: had left it. As was my custom, I walked over
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the ground where the apaches and misters Andrews and Whistwall
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: had had their scrap Near an old dagger plat, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: found where an Indian had taken shelter, or rather tried
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: to hide himself, and picked up a number of Winchester
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: forty four cartridge shells. We secured the ambulance and our
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: return journey was without incident. We arrived back in our
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: camp after making the two hundred miles in a week.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Mister Andrews presented Lieutenant Baylor with a beautiful Springfield rifle.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know whether Andrews or Wiswall are alive, but
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: that Mexican shepherd dog is entitled to a monument on
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: which should be inscribed fidelity. In the spring of eighteen
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: eighty two brick masons Morgan and Brown stopped at our
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: quarters in Isletta on their way from Fort Craig, New
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Mexico to San Antonio, Texas. They had heard that some
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: freight wagons at San Elizario would soon return to San
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Antonio and were anxious to travel back with them. These
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: men spent two or three days in the ranger camp
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and seemed very nice chaps and pleasant talkers. One of them,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: mister Morgan, owned one one of the finest pistols I
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: ever saw. It was pearl handled and silver mounted. Our
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: boys tried to trade for it, but Morgan would not
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: part with the weapon. After the two men had been
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: gone from our camp three or four days, word was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: brought to Lieutenant Baler that two men had been found
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: dead near Saint Elizario. The Lieutenant sent me with a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: detail of three rangers to investigate. At San Elizario, we
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: learned that the dead men were at Collins sheep Ranch,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: four miles from town. On arriving there, we found, to
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: our surprise and horror that the dead men were Morgan
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and Brown, who had left our camp hale and hearty
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: just a few days before. It was surmised that the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: men had camped for the night at the sheep ranch
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and had been beaten to death with heavy mesquite sticks.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: They had been dead two or three days and were
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: stripped of their clothing, their bodies being partly eaten by coyotes.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: On repairing to his sheep ranch, mister Collins found the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: dead bodies of Morgan and Brown, his shepherds gone, and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: his flocks scattered over the country. Mister Collins gave the
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: herders names as Santiagosqueville and Manuel Moleno. After beating out
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the brains of their unfortunate victims, the Mexicans robbed the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: bodies and lit out for parts unknown. As the murderers
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: were on foot and had been gone three or four days,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I found it very difficult to get their trail as
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: loose stock grazed along the Bosques and partially obliterated it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: As there was a number of settlements and several little
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: pueblos along the river, I knew if I did not
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: follow the Mexican's tracks closely, I could never tell where
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: they had gone. So I spent the remainder of the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: day trying to get the trail from camp. We were
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: compelled to follow it on foot, leading our horses. We
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: would sometimes be an hour trailing a mile. On the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: following day, I was able to make only ten miles
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: on the trail, but I had discovered the general direction.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I slept on the banks of the Rio Grande that night,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and next morning crossed into Mexico and found that the
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: murderers were going down the river in the direction of Guadalupe.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I now quit the trail and hurried on to this
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: little Mexican town. Traveling around a short bend in the road,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: I came suddenly into the main street of Guadalupe, and
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: almost the first man I saw standing on the street
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: was a Mexican with Morgan's white handled pistols trapped on him.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: I left two of my men to watch the suspect
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and myself hurried to the office of the president of Guadalupe,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: made known my mission and told him I had seen
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: one of the supposed murderers of Morgan and Brown on
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the streets of his city and asked that the suspect
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: be arrested. The official treated me very cordially and soon
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: had some police officers go with me. They found the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: two suspected Mexicans, arrested them, and placed them in the houscow.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: The prisoners admitted they were Colin's sheep herders and said
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: their names were Moleno and Scaeville, but of course denied
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: knowing anything about the death of Morgan and Brown. All
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: my rangers recognized the pistol taken from the Mexican as
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: the owned by mister Morgan. The Mexican officers reported to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the Alcalde or town president that the suspects had been arrested.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: The latter official then asked me if I had any
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: papers for these men. I told him I did not,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: for at the time I left my camp in Isletta,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: we did not know the nature of the murder or
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: the names of the parties incriminated. I declared I was
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: sure the men arrested had committed the murder, and that
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I would hurry back to Isletta and have the proper
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: papers issued for the prisoner's extradition. The alcalde promised to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: hold the suspects until the proper formalities could be complied with.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: From Guadalupe to Isleta is about fifty or sixty miles.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I felt the importance of the case, and while I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: and my men were footsore and weary, we rode all
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: night long over a sandy road and reached camp at
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Isletta at nine o'clock the following morning. Lieutenant Baylor at
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: once appeared before the Justice of the Peace at Isletta
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and filed a complaint of murder against Manuel Moleno and Santiago.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Scivy had warrants issued for their arrest, and himself hurried
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to El Paso, crossed the river to El Paso del Norte, and,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: presenting his warrants to the authorities, asked that the murderers
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: beheld until application for their extradition could be made. Within
• 17:15
