AMIUNITION
by Oren Arnold
Sudden terror gripped Mrs.
Lewis Stevens of Arizona when
she glanced out the window on this
morning in 1874. Her husband was
in town 30 miles away. She alone
guarded their three small children,
here at
Lonesome
Ranch. And she had just seen a "rag" move
on a bush outside.
"I haven't hung out any rags!" she whisp-
ered to herself.

Quickly then she picked up her shotgun.
ES
BANG!
The rag was an Apache Indian's head-
piece! He leaped up, screamed, and fell dead.
Savages had surrounded the house by stealth!

"MORE AMMUNITION!" (Concluded)
For hours she fought them off, shooting
from her windows, displaying fine courage,
Late that day cowboys heard the noise, came
and drove the Indians away.
“I'll take word in to Mr. Stevens at town,
ma'am," one cowboy volunteered. "Just write
out whatever you want to say."
This pioneer mother thought hard, then
wrote her message. In due time Mr. Stevens
received it, and read:
Dear Lewis:
The Apaches come. I am might nigh out
of buckshot. Please send me some more.
Your loving wife.
