LITTLE CURlY.HEAD.
Bit of Frontier Reality Related by
SOft-Iearted Trooper.

Soft-Hearted Trooper.
We were bending away to the north
to strike the Solomon river. in North
west Kansas, and had just got out of
the broken ground, when our eyes
rested on singular object on the grass.
Every body made guess as to what it
was, but all fell far short of naming the
article until we were close upon it;
then it was seen to be feather-hed.
The entire command was astonished
and mystitied for the moment, but after
bit every thing was made plain.
The scouts jumped down and an
nounced that wagon drawn by horses
had passed that way about four days
before. Some settler. anxious to Sc
sure a better squat" had broken
away from the Smoky Hill route in
search of new location. He must
have been a fool-hardy or very ignor-
ant man, for he was running right into
the hostile country. When the scouts
announced, after 4 further inspection,
that the horses drawing the wagon had
been on gailop at this point, we felt
the trail a few miles to come
upon a scene of horror. After
riding for half mile, and
just as the wagon made sharp
turn to the west to avoid an outcrop-
ping of rocks, we came upon the dead
body of a little boy about three years
old. He was nestled down in the high
grass, and was resting on his side, with
one hand under his face. We at first
believed him to be asleep, but
when one of the scouts crept up and
bent over him he gave us sign that
the poor little fellow was dead. We
dismounted and formed little circle
around the body. 1t was wonderfully
preserved. The big eyes were closed,
the chestnut curls were still damp with
the morning dew, and it was hard to
believe that he was dead.
He was either thrown Or jostled out
of the wagon with the bed," said one
of our scouts as he leaned on his gun
and looked down upon the dead boys
face. ''The Indians passed him by I'M
noticed, and he probably wandered
around for two or three days. I'm
thinking he died yesterday of hunger
and consequences. 1t was Gods mercy
that he went that way"
Two of the men lifted up the little
body and deposited it in one of the
wagons. and we then pushed ahead on
the trail The settler had made a gal
liant race for it. and his team must have
been a powerful one, for we did not
come up with the wagon until we had
gone fully five miles from the spot where
We found little curly-head. When we
gathered around it every man thanked

she said that her husband had a scar ON his
knee, which she described. The prisoner
was found to bear such scar. AS to the
other marks Of Identification which she
gave the man Hahn was found to CORE
spOnd exactly. His hair, however, was
dark, while that of the missing husband
was light. Hahn's counsel pointed to the
days growth of beard on his chin and
showed that also was dark. but the woman
said that her husband was very skillful in
dyeing hair and that this accounted for the
dark hair and even for the beard. This
identified Hahn, some positively and others
partially, as the man whom they had known
as Mr.. Kohl. All of them when put into
room with Hahn and number of other
men picked him out as the man.

of j. S. Brannn. owner of Bootblack and

ball grazing the flesh. They were then

Great Strike Expected In Connection with
the Eight Hour Agitation.
New YORK, April 28.-There is a general feel
ing among manufacturers in this city that a
great strike will take place in New York about
May l, and that over one hundred thousand men
will be thrown out of work. At present all
branches of the piano making trade and the fur
niture making trade-including upholsterers,
wood-carvers, polishers, etc.-have made the de-
mand, and what the result will be remains
to be seen. AS yet, the question of wages
has not been settled, and the men have not
decided whether with reduction OK hours will
come a reduction of wages or not
The Central Labor Union has called mass
meeting for next Saturday night, which is styled
"A short-hour demonstration" 1t is not called
an eighthour demonstration. as many trades,
including all branches of the building trade, are
satisfied with the nine-hour rule. The Associa-
ton of United Iron-workers, including all
branches, have made demand for nine hours.
and bakers are demanding ten and twelve hours
The trades unions do not think there will be o
great strike. but one may come and extend all
over the country, as similar demands have been
made in other cities
The feeling among manufacturers is that they
cannot comply with the requests of the unions,
and the matter may end in compromise. In

present week all the firms in that business will
have heard from committee of their men and
have taken stand for or against the adoption
of the short day. Some of tho larger manu-
facturers of brass and copper goods have al
ready received notice from their employees that
they want eight hours work with ten hours pay.

corresponding reduction in wages committee
| of these was appointed to wait on the general
officers OF the road tomorrow, and notify them
that in case the demand is not complied with by
noon of May l, strike will then be inaugural
ed. Should a negative answer be returned, and
the three hundred men employed in the places
named go out the result is difficult to foresee.
1t is claimed that persons engaged IN like man
ner on other roads will make like demand.
A circular letter signed by Order of the
Iron Molders' Union," has been received by q
majority of iron manufacturers in the
city, including foundres, machine shops
and iron works of almost every de-
scription employing over twenty-five men,
It has caused quite furry in the establish
ments affected, and the managers of some Of the
larger concerns are debating very earnestly the
question of closing down for a time. The circu-
lar states that on and after May l
the hours of labor shall be eight
per day, except in cases of
emergency, and then all over time shall be paid
at the rate of double the usual wages. No one
shall be compelled to work over eight hours
unless at the double rate. The men in the
Globe iron works, H. A. Streeter's iron
works, Clark, Raffen g. Co.'S Etna iron
works. the Excelsior iron works and NJ Benher
6 Co. have all demanded eight hours day. To-
day member of the firm of Benner e. Co. said
that, in anticipation of the short-day movement
they had lately been making a slight
advance in prices, but found in each
case that competitors in Louisville, Indianapolis
and st. Louis had underbid them and it was
therefore useless to suppose that an advance in
in price was going to overcome the difficulty. 1t
was found that although the demand for
eight hours was almost unanimous among the
iron molders. not one of the firms interested
had taken any decided stand as to whether they
would or would not concede the demand, or shut
down.
