Hemmed In by Indians u Man Rushes
TO an Clubhouse for Food.
A writer in The Forest and Stream
relates the experience of a family be-
sieged by ~Cheycnnes, I'm the course of
which this incident occurred:
AT last the Indians stopped firing and
We could not get "a glimpse OF them.
Caveniss said: well. old woman,
hat was a close call; but | am hungry,
so get us something TO eat"
'All the meat is in the milk house
except that piece on the table, and that
belongs to Dick. He has had nothing
to eat since yesterday, and he fights as
well on an empty stomach rs you uns
do on a full one" replied Mrs, Caveniss,
smoking. I'm get you some coffee
and biscuit, though"
Marion said: I'm 90 and get meat.
| guess the lnjuns is gone"
Tige took of his big white hat and
put it before the open door oil a stick
for a reply. and a dozen bullets hit
around it in a second. do We want
to go out there, Bud" he asked with a
wolfish grin.
Il amt afraid to-" responded Ma
rion, ''and ! can fix it so | won't get hit
neither"
'All right, get the meat them" said
Mrs. c., but I'm afraid you'll get
shot, and we cant afford to lose a man."
Marion, without reply, proceeded to
make up a man with a shirt, a pair OF
overalls and a hat. Then he unfolded
his plans TO us. Tige was to shove out
the dummy and draw the enemies fire.
Caveniss and | were to return it, and
Marion was to run TO the milk house.
When he wanted 10 come back he was
to put his hand out so that we could
see il, and we were to 60 to firing while
he ran for the house. He took only a
butcher knife. We drew their fire by
exposing the dummy, and then we
went to cracking away at the smoke o.
the guns while he ran for the milk
house.
He got there without a scratch; but
when his hand came pand we showed
the doll again Lo wouldn't shoot, and
when Marion started they made it very
interesting for him. He had a steak in
m hand and a can of peaches in tn,
other, and when he got into the house
he said, with a Mortified expression on
his face, Il am shot in the hand" He
held up the peach can hand, and ther
looked silly. One of the gentle RED
men had put a ball through the can,
not touching him at all, and when tn.
juice ran into his hand he thought i,
was blood. We joked him a little, but
saw he was mortified. and Mrs. Cave

A Curious ~Sepulcher.


Riding in a cab down Oxford street,
London, N can hardly fail to notice
a curious object on the top of a very
handsome residence some few hundred
yards to the right after passing the
Marble Arch. As seer from the street
il appears to be a framework of glass,
some IL feet long by 6 broad and 4
high. Through the glass can plainly
be seen a large oblong box, painted
black, which looks for all the world
like a coffin. This house. although
under ordinary circumstances it would
bring al m rental, has remained
untenanted for more than a quarter of
a century.
The story goes that the last tenant,
who was the owner Of the property,
was an eccentric and very wealthy old
gentleman. When he died. away back
in the sixties, he left n provision in his
will that his body should not be buried,
but should be placed in a coffin inside
the structure referred to above, which
he had built during his lifetime. Every
Londoner in the vicinity Of the Marble
Arch firmly believes that the old mans
bones are to this day lying in the
strange glass receptacle on the house.
top.
The agent for the property, although
he Processes to disbelieve the story of
the old mans odd burial place, says
that the curious box, whatever it may
contain, will never be removed, even
though the house stands tenantless, till
it crumbles with decay. st. Louis Re-

A ROMANCE OF OTHER DAYS.
How Two Friends Who Were schoolboys

How Two Friends VIVA Were schoolboys
Together stood by Each Other.
See that red granite house over therei
Well, the man who lives In it was a
substitute in the army. He was not a
purchased soldier. but went in for
love. lie and a nan named Bent
had been ~schoolfellows and friends in
the east, and they came west together.
Neither enlisted, but Bent was drafted.
Just a few months before that affair
he had married n beautiful young wom-
an, and one whom my neighbor here
had himself loved. Bent and his wife
Were about crazy with fright at the idea
of his going into the army, when they
received a letter from the draft COM
missioner saying Bent's substitute was
accepted.
They didn't know who the substitute
could be, and as the name my neigh
Dor gave-for il was he who had vol
unteered-was an assumed one, they
could not find out. Ny neighbor went
to the front. was badly wounded at
Petersburg, made a good soldier and
was finally discharged. Then he let
them know who the substitute was.
Bent had made a heap of money in the
meantime and he wanted to pay his
friend something, but nothing would
be accepted. Finally, however. my
neighbor, who had turned board OF
trade man, got into a corner where he
stood to lose all he had, including his
credit. lie went to Bent and told him
all about il.
"Draw on me for all you need, up to
the very limit of my bank account"
said Bent, and my neighbor took him
at his word. He put in 5000 and il
went with the rest. Then 80 900, and
that went. Then another so, 900, and
yet the other fellows were squeezing
him. II he could hold on a little while
he could carpet the board of trade with
bills, but the opposition seemed deter.
mined To ruin him. He drew for a
whole S25, 900 in a lump, and said that
If it bankrupteI Bent and him too they
would be no worse off, barring age,
than when they luit school. His last
haul saved him, though If the corner
had not collapsed the very day it did
both he and hi friend would have gone
down tppether
As it was, the tumble made him q
very rich man, and he could pay back
all he had borrowed and still have a
fortune. But he has never risked a
dollar from that day to this, although
he has done business constantly for
other men.
He has built that house, and lives
there in elegant style, although he has
never married, and I wouldn't wonder
If he were keeping the place in the
hope that he may some day make mis-.
tress of it the woman whom he has
loved since long before the war.-In.

THE sheep herder has distinguished
himself. The town OF Hanford. Cal,
is moved from center to circumference by
the mechanical triunphs of one of these
humble individuals. The dispatches do
not vouchsafe the name of this genius
but that's no matter since he has not
long to wait, if reports are true, before
both his name and fame will start on a
long rattle down the corridors of time
His invention constitutes continuance
whereby any common we'll can be made
to yield q continuous artesian flow. A
model was made in Hanford last week
and on applying it to well the water
flew to the surface like pop from a soda
bottle. The dispatches emphasize the
success Of the experiment by the an
nouncement that local capitalist who
had backed this shepherd genius was 30
elated over the result that "he kicked a
new plug hat all to pieces" If this in
vention should turn out to be anything
but myth, there are not few New
Mexicans who can afford to treat their
plug hats in similar manner. At any
rate it may be well to keep an eye on that
sheep herder.

The Democratic sheriff of New York
ex-grand sachem of Tammany Hall, J. A.

legal and moral law, namely that of pro-
curing fraudulent divorce and using the
powers of his Office to procure such a one,

the last fifteen years the man lived in
open adultery with another woman, Sarah

PULL TOGETHER.

Commenting on the public land sales
for 1889 in Colorado, the New MEXICAN
remarks that it will pay congress to settle
the question OF land titles in that territory.
The assertion is true. Nothing has con-
tributed more to prevent immigration to
New Mexico than the uncertainty which
rests over her land titles, caused by the
Spanish land claims. When man
moves west and takes up claim he wants
to feel secure in title thereto and posses
sion thereof. This has never been posi-
bic in New Mexico, and until it is posi-
bic, no large influx of population need be
expected, although few territories have
more varied inducements to present for
settlement and immigration. 49, Denver
News.
True, our land titles must be settled one
way or another, before we can expect
much of a charge for the better. AS a
state and with two senators and one rep
resentative to back up our demands and
show up our needs, the passage of an act
having in view the settlement of the Span
ish and Mexican land grants and titles
within our borders would come about
speedily and satisfactorily. Statehood
may not be a panacea for all our ills, but
in all truth it would cure good many OF
them. Therefore all good and patriotic
citizens, regardless of party, should work
to obtain the boon OF statehood for New
Mexico. 1t is not question of party, it
has risen far beyond that. Itisaquestion
of the greatest good for the greatest num-
Der, and as it is self evident and patent
that statehood for New Mexico would
largely and at once subserve the best in
terests of vast majority of our people,
therefore We ought to have it. A good
pull, united pull, a strong pull and an
energetic pull at this time, will give us
statehood. Hence, let all those desiring
statehood pull and work together. The
occasion is suspicious and the chances
are bright and in our favor.

ALTHOUGH Bismarck protested, he was
nevertheless created duke of Lauenburg,
field marshal general of the army and
colonel general of cavalry, besides being
presented with life size oil painting OF
the Emperor. We suppose, he values the
oil painting higher than all the rest Of
the truck. No matter what happens, that
oil painting is there and will not down
he must look at it. Emperor William is
not an old man, but he is evidently up to
snuff. That portrait will give Bismarck nc

A BAG OF WIND PUECTURED

Ex-Gov. Ross in Ashenfelter's paper,
the Deming Headlight, asserts that "he,"
do you understand she" conceived the
ideas expressed in the present finance
law of this territory, introduced in both
the 9th and 18th legislative assemblies
by Senator Pedro Perea, of Bernalllo.
Our bump OF reverence is not at all devel-
oped and the fact of Ross, having been
governor and commander in chief Of the
armies and navies Of New Mexico scares
us not bit. He is an unmitigated old
liar when he asserts that he had aught to
do with the introduction or conception of
the bill in question in the 9th legislative
assembly, and also when he denies that
his corrupt bar gains and dirty and cow
ardlv political tricks did not defeat the
bill in question at that time. We mean
that he is liar politically, personally and
Individually, despite the fact OF his valor
and gallantry exhibited while commander
in chief of the militia and land and naval
forces of New Mexico, especially on the
momentous occasion when he hid be-
hind a bedstead in the ancient palace of
the great Montezuma in the Royal city OF
the Holy Faith here in order to escape
from legislative committee, that desired
to present him bill, which had he
signedit, would have put stop in lSS7.to
the corruption and mismanagement Of
penitentiary affairs, and would have
saved the tax payers of New Mexico about
$25, 900 per year ever since.

The Democrats Celebrate.

The WateFtown Democracy had made
extensive preparations for an elabor-
ate and lurid celebration of their great
victory for Saturday evening, bat the
heavy rain storm that set in prevented
many of the details from materializing.
However, Notwithstanding the inter
ference of the elements, the demon
stration was an enthusiastic outburst of
Democratic feeling over the political
landslide. There was torchlight pro-
cession and a fine display of fireworks.
Greek fire lighted up the streets and a
large number of buildings were bril-
liantly illuminated, expressive of the
10y of the occupants. AT Turner Opera
house the large audience assembled
was addressed by Pres. A. F. Ernst,
Charles I'll. Gardner and John G.. Con-
way, the speeches partaking Of the
forid and boiling-over character of the
