Thirteen bullets struck the logs with
in six feet OF Webber, and others did
not miss aim except by shave. 1t
was simply q question Of time, if the
firing were kept up, when a bullet
would hit and finish him.
Meanwhile the three bucks who had
left the main body were creeping toward
the house from different directions.
Mrs. Moss could see two of them, but
the third crept along a deep furrow,
and finally gained point from which
he could fire upon Webber at fair
range. From this point the red fired
nine times at Weobers right side,
which was exposed to his view. He
either had poor gun or was much ex-
cited, for not one of the bullets count
ed, although some of them wbistled
uncomfortably close.
II knew what was up" said Web
Der, in modestly telling his story, "but
| had to trust to luck. He was not
where l could hit him, and if he hap
pened to hit me it would have been no
worse than to be killed by the others
in front. After his first bullet l
didn't even turn my head that way.
The woman came to the window near
me and said the other two were In
sight, and instructed her to open fire
with the revolver. She had fred a
pistol only few times, and / did not
count on anything beyond her g living
the bucks something to think about
1t must have been entirely by accident
that at her very first fire she wounded
one of the fellows in the hip, and he at
once crawled away to take care of
himself. The other one sent three bull
let's through window at which she
was standing. but she kept firing
away at him and sending so much
lead around his ears that he dared
not advance.
The fight in front lasted about half
an hour. Whenever there was lull in
the firing Webber looked to see the
indians spring up and make a rush,
and to prevent this he fired at random
along the bank, tearing up the sod
and flinging dirt over the red skins in
hiding. He had no idea that help
was at hand, and was yet depending
upon himself, when the indians sud-
denly ceased firing and beat retreat,
and ten minutes later Moss and his
man rode up, having been met on the
open prairie by the riderless horse.
In retreating from the ravine the in
dians carried away the dead warrior
but the one wounded by Mrs, Moss
was left to take care Of himself. He
was found in the dry furrow and dis
patched. The heroism of Webber in
taking and maintaing his position, Sc
verely wounded as he was, and of the
woman in obeying his orders, hopeless
as the defense must have appeared tt
her, deserves place on the pages O.
undying history.

Reaping the Whirlwind.

A few years ago some of the large
employers of labor in the east, says
the Garland (Kansas) Cleaner, import
ed shiploads of foreigners, principally
Bohemians and Poles, for the purpose
of combating the demands of native
and naturalized citizens. The railroad
companies invited and encouraged the
immigration Of these people. Glass.
blowing establishments in Pennsyl,
vania sent over to Belgium for cheap
labor Iron and coal mines operators
sent their agents abroad to obtain
miners in Bohemia and Polish Ger
many. Thousands of them came over.
They remained short time with their
original employers, and then scattered
throughout the country. They were
followed by thousands of others. They
are here now in large numbers.
These are the anarchists we have to
deal with to-day. They did not come
uninvited. They were brought here.
Ancient Rome felt the fatal results OF
hiring barbarians to do her fighting,
go do the employers of the United
STATES realize the mistake they made
in bringing over here semi barbaric
horde to do their fighting. The lesson
is plain one. Those who sowed the
wind are reaping the whirlwind
Every trades union in this country
protested loudly against the importa.
tion, and warned the employers of the
risk they were running, but organized
labor was to be put down at all haz-
ards, and the employers were blind tc
reason and deaf to arguments.
So, when you hear anybody talking
about the recent riot in Chicago, and
attnbuting 1t to unrestricted immigra'
tion just remember that the very mer
VINO are injuring property now were
brought over here originally for the
purpose of injuring labor. ..

The Foreien A9air. clerk.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. - Something like a concerted effort appears to have been made by means of despatches sent from here to Philadelphia and elsewhere to convey the impression that, in the selection of clerk for the Foreign Affairs committee, MT. Belmont, Governor Curtin's successor, had made an egregious blander. The facts appear to be the other way. H. c. Clark, the man select ed, is trained newspaper man who has been a resident of this country for nearly guar ter of century and citizen for over seven teen years During the closing period of the war and before the cable was laid he had entire charge of the foreign desk of the New York Herald. He was subse- quently sent by that journal as 8 special correspondent to Mexico during the Maximilian revolution, holding at the same time tne position of private secretary to Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, appointed by President Johnson minister to Mexico. He has had versatile experience in private sec retaryships since, but it is said the political charges made against him are based solely on partisan utterances unsupported by recorded proof. He is an expert shorthand writer, understands Spanish and French, and it was on these qualifications that he was appointed. He has for the last ten years been a steno- grapher and law reporter in this city and during the last session of Congress he was Senate reporter for the United Press.

The Second Nights Play tn the Rils
 Hard Match.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Cosmopolitan Hall was crowded with an interested audience on this, the second night of the Schaefer-|Vig- naux billiard match. Schaefer still ruled as the favorite with the odds to 10 in his favor The wizard opened by scoring from the lay off of the previous night, but missed his second shot while trying to gather the balls from an across he-table shot. Vignaux followed by rolling up fifteen points and slip ped up on a simple one cushion shot. Vignaux's twelfth inning was full of brilliant work. He scored fifty points, all difficult to execute, and retired OH single cushion
 shot. Schaefer could gain but seven as his part of the thir-
 was bound to make a count and rolled 4S points. In turning follow for his forty ninth he failed and left the worries so well placed for Schaefer that he began to score with great rapidity and at the same time drove the balls on the long line at the left hand of the table, Then by delicate nursing he made 50 points fast as the marker could record them. The one hundredth shot saw the ta1ls scattered all over the table, but the champion gathered them in and on the Hath shot he had caught up with Wig paux on to-night's score. Not content with
 
 rattling at draws, follows, spreads and masse,
 until he had reached ITS caroms, when he missed on draw of the cushion. Vignaux | stepped up confidently, knocked out 143 points in quick succession and failed on two cushion. Schaefer made thirty one points in the twenty second
 inning, which made the score of the nights | game tie Vignanx failed to count and the wizard went to the front again,
 piling up 119 buttons in the next | five innings. By series of brilliant shot the Gaul managed to increase his score with Q run of ninety four, bringing him close to his antagonist. Schaefer then
 finished the game, leaving the red ball mid
 way on the table and six inches | ball was in the top left hand cor
 ner, while vignaux's ball nestled close to
 the top short rail and eighteen inches from
 the cue ball. The score was: Schaefer 600, Vignaux 561; Schaefer's highest run IFS,
