HE WAS UNDER COVER.
One Wounded Indian Set a Troop of Ca

One Wounded Indian Set Troop of Cav.
airy at Defiance.
There was one feature of the fight
between the Seventh cavalry and the
Sioux at Wounded Knee which indicates
in the most unlnistakable manner the
effect of modern firearms on the defen-
sive, and which is, as far as | know,
without parallel in history. After the
fight was over and the Indians had been
killed or captured the cavalry set to
work to bury the dead. Suddenly shot
was heard and a horse fell wounded.
The troops were puzzled to know
where the shot came from, but their
mystification was soon ended by puff
of smoke from the top of chimney-like
rock on neighboring bluff, the ring of
rifle ball followed by the whip-like
crack of a Winchester. An Iudian shot
through the shoulder had managed to
drag himself to the rock and was firing
upon the troops as fast as he could pull
the trigger inhis disabled condition. A
squad was detailed to silence him, but
SO well was he covered that not a shot
could reach him, while his bullets were
sent to all parts of the battle grounds.
The fact was finally recognized that
the solitary wounded Indian with his
Winchester completely dominated the
field and that it would cost. half dozen
lives to dislodge him. As it was not con-
sidered worth while to go to this ex-
pensc the only thing to be done was to
march off. The regiment accordingly
Withdrew, having been fairly driven off
by one wounded man. | know of no

NAoLEY Is ALIVE.

ALBANY, April 9.--The mysteri-
Gus disappearance of Geo. Nagley
from this city last week has at last
been explained.
Mr.. II. w. Stewart writes tine fol-
lowing note from Comstock station,
Oregon, under date of April 5th:
"I noticed in the Oregonian of to-
day a paragraph which mentions
the sudden and mysterious disap
pearance of a man named George
Nagley, from Albany, under such
circumstances as to lead to the belief
that ne had committed suicide. /
sold this party, or man giving same
name, a ticket to Sisson, Cal, last
night. He stated that he had been
sick, and walked this far, thinking
it would improve his health, but his
feet had become sore, and he con-
cluded to take the train. He is a
common.sized man, weighs from 13O
to 14O pounds, is of sandy complex
ion and bald headed"
This is no doubt the missing man,
and the news will set at rest the
fears of his friends that he had COM
mitted suicide. He had SIS when
last seen in Albany.

e souicsl Power for Ocean stssm srs

An exchange suggests the use Of cleo
tricity as motive power for propelling
ocean steamers. This idea is by
no means as chimerical "a might
be imagined. The marvellous advances
that have been made In the electrical
world In the last decade furnish album
dant reason tor believing that the uses
to which this subtle force may be and
will be applied have only begun
to be discovered. IL would be moth
ing unexpected should method be
discovered for utilizing it as power in
ocean navigation. The great difficulty
in modern war cruisers Is the inability
to secure sufficient coal capacity to-
gether with the lines Of model essential
to the highest speed. The Charleston
has just furnished the country with ii
striking illustration OF this. She burns
10 tons Of coal per day when running at
full speed and her storage capacity
is only 800 tons. As q result she could
only run little over four days Ia her
chase of the ltata without securing a
fresh supply Of fuel. OF course naval
authorities fully realize the disadvant-
ages of this condition OF things but it is
hard to see how ii can be avoided unless,
as has been suggested, way be found
to make use of electricity as the propel-
ling power.
