Fort ROBINSON, Jan. 22.-Once more the
Cheyennes have got away from the soldiers,
having, it is thought, crept in the night of
the 10th, through intervals, between the

then, possibly the tr.i may be lost thereby,
and what is left of the band may thus get
away. Pursuit was begun next day, and
the officer in command is under orders to

THE WILLOWS WAKE
She Loses Her Life and Kettle Of
Beer.


Rational Associated Press to the Star
BROOKLYN, Jan. 22.-Sunday night, as
Mary Brownlee, awidow, OF Flat Bush, was
trudging through the snow on her way to a
wake in the house of Mr.. Lennox, who had
died in that village, with a kettle of beer in
her hand, she was overcome and sank INTO
n snow bank in sight of the house to which
xhe was going. ,.-
later at night, as two men were on Their
way to the same wake, they, stumbled
across her in the path. Her beer Kettle
was missing and her shoes and stockings
gone. One of the men carried Mary, In
sensible, to the house where the ,!,, wake was was
in progress. The house was light and
warm and the party inside having merry
time, but Mary could not be restored to
consciousness, and she was taken to the
hospital, where she died in a fewminutes.
Thus the poor widow, who started out to
enliyen Lennox's wake with her kettle OF
beer, was unconsciously making speedy
preparations for her own untimely wake.
There is much mystery among her friends
as to how she became barefooted.
