MIR. Thomas w. Prosch has received
word from Mr. Edmond S. Meany, who is

has been impossible to obtain from the
Northern Pacific any better rate than SIS
for the round trip from Seattle. The same
rate is given TO Tacoma l. A. Nadeau.
the Northern Pacific's agent here, has
written . letter to Mr.. B. +. Shaubut
saying that the company will do every-
thing possible for the comfort and
convenience of those who may 20 from
here. Mr.. Nadeau stated that the COM
pany could not furnish Pullman coaches
for 200, for that would necessitate bringing
six cars empty from st. Paul, with q charge
of $50 mileage on each. Two sleeping cars
viii De placed at tine disposal of Seattle
passengers. The plan is to make the
charge 81 for the round trip sleeper as
usual, and then allow the use of the sleeper
during the stay at Spokane. This will save
those who go from paying anything for
sleeping accommodations at Spokane. An
effort will be made to have good repre-
sentation at the exposition on Seattle day.

was using his sabre. He got right
in front of me, indeed IN front of
us all, and rising in bis stirrnps
swung his sabre from left to right,
slaughtering in a wholesale man
ner. The reverend Sam was not
satisfied with the effective work
he did at the gate, but he con-
tlnued the chase some three miles.
He got separated in the woods
from the rest of us an d
dashed along into squad of
Vermont men, where be received
cut from a sabre. How he es'
capped being killed was a miracle.
The Vermonters were busy escap'
ing, presume, and did not take
time to kill Sam eflectually and
carefully.
"ODc of my men, Hunter, saw
him dong battle alone, like hunt
ed tiger in his lair, and went to his
rescue. Now Hunter WIS a braye
soldier, and he dashed up to rescue
Sam with the same confidence that
a hundred men would attack one.
It had the desired effect any way,
for he caused the squad to retreat,
leaving Sam bleeding, but alive.
1t was scattered, wild chase for
three or four miles, ard dead men
lined the roadside. I made Sam a
captain for his part IN the battle.
Eve issue forth & forlorn hope
that morning, only wishing to cut
cur way through Captain FlInts
ranks and escape, but the deadly
revolver pitted against the sabre
made victory smile upon ns.--NeH
