owing to their haste and excitement Nc
Cormick's companion was badly wounded,
and the horse, instead of making toward the
fort, rushed among the savages, and the
rider was of course lost. Mccormick. how
ever, wheeled his own horse toward the
fort, and dashed back in the greatest haste,
being surrounded by the red devils, who
seemed to rise up out of the earth on all
sides, shooting and giving unearthly yells.
Mccormick, being mounted on fine charger
quickly passed the Indians on foot, but was
suddenly confronted by two Indian horemen,
who, IN some unaccountable manner, had got
between him and the fort. McCorrnick's
horse, being very swift, enabled him to pass
one OF them, though the Indian gave him
terrible blow ON theshoulders, his rifle having
been emptied when Mccormick was approach
ing. The other horseman was now across
his path and waiting his turn, but, being
under considerable excitement, his gun.
though so close to McCormicks face that his
flesh was filed with powder, failed to do any
harm, and the occupants of the fort. having
heard the firing, now rushed out to protect
their comrade, and one of the Indians was
shot and his scalp taken.
But, poor Mccormick his terrible scare
during that brief space of time had nearly
unnerved him. Never was there exhibited
more awful picture of fright than was por-
trayed on his countenance on reaching the
stockade. Hair erect, pale as a ghost, he
quaked with such fear that he could not for
a long time give any account of his advent
ure In fact, he presented pitiable spec
tacle, and did not fully recover his senses
for weeks. But the strangest affair Of the
whole occurrence was that his hair and
whiskers, which had been of jet black color
and glossy in appearance, during those ten
minutes of peril had become white as the
driven snow, and the stranger could now
easily mistake him for an octogenarian.

Incident in the Career of Paul McCor~
mick, One of the Men who Helped to
Open mp the Yellowstone in Spite of the
Sioux.
After being besieged in Fort Pease for
some time it became evident to our advent
urers that further supplies OF provisions,
ammunition, etc, would be necessary to hold
out against the besiegers, and it was deemed
important that one of these daring pioneers
should volunteer to run the gauntlet and So
cure not only an ample supply of provisions
and ammunition, but re-enforcements also.
1t was 300 miles TO Bozeman, the nearest
place of relief, and over a lonely, wild coun-
try, infested by savages, but Paul McCor-
mick cheerfully volunteered to make the
dangerous trip alone Leaving the fort by
dusk and travelling mostly by night, in ten
days he was at Bozeman and secured not only
plenty of necessaries for the garrison, but
organized quite little company of recruits,
and with the stealth Of wild animal they
slipped down the river and succeeded in gain
ing the fort without any loss. Soon after it
was found necessary that another trip should
be made, and again Mccormick passed
through the Indian lines alone and returned
again in safety. Then he at various times
slipped out of the fort by night and after
killing deer or an elk the next day aS some
great distance off, would return in the same
manner to supply the inmates with fresh
venison. So daring were his feats that bis
companions had concluded that he was In
reality insensible to fear.

RUNNING A GREAT RISK

One evening, after nearly a weeks cessa-
ton of firing by the Indians on Fort Pease,
and none of them have been seen in the
vicinity of the fort for days, Mccormick
told some of his companions that he proposed
to venture out early in the morning horse
back and ascertain if there were really any
Indians still in the vicinity. His friends
warned him of the danger, but he secuted
their warning and persisted so determinedly
that they gave up in despair, intimating
loudly that they would never see him again
alive.
True to his determination, the next morn
ing found him ready for the trip. One Of
his comrades, realizing the risk Mccormick
would undergo alone, volunteered to accom-
pany him, and at the first approach of day
light the gate was opened and the two horse
men quietly departed, the ominous warnings
of their companions still ringing in their
ears Proceeding up and down the valley,
which is here wide bottom, they failed to
discern the slightest signs of Indians, and ac-
cordingly came to the conclusion that the
Sioux had abandoned the siege. Before re-
turning, however, curiosity led them to make
reconnaissance to a coulee which came
down from the foot hills, and while passing
along this shallow coulee McCormick's com
panion remarked that he saw something like
the tracks of Indians in the sand only short
distance away, and begged Mccormick TO
come and see.

Items Of Interest Clipped from Our
West Virginia Exchanges.

Mrs. George Waldeck, of Clarks-
burg, attempted suicide again We'd
ncsday by cutting vein in her arm.
The blood was stopped in time to
save her life.
Thomas, son of l.. Nj Patton, OF
Clarksburg. took two ounces of laud
anum Wednesday morning and died
at one o'clock that day. He was not
discovered until quite time after
he had taken the drug and physi-
clan was sent for but nothing could
be done. He was 81 years of age.
The cause is said to have been that
his girl went back on him.
One night recently the residence
of Taylor Given, who lives on Strange
Creek, in Nicholas county, short
distance from the Braxton county
line, was destroyed by fire, and his
eleven year-old son, who was sleep
ing up stairs, was burned to death.
Two of his sons were sleeping to-
gether, one succeeded in making his
escape by jumping out of a window,
but the other boy. who was in feeble
health, could not escape from the
flames, and he lost his life. The or
igin of the fire is unknown.
Abram Haines an inmate of the
hospital for the insane at Weston
was instantly killed few days ago.
Haines belonged in Wood county and
was taken to the asylum on June 9th
last. Yesterday he secured piece
of flooring and with it forced off the
iron guard of the window in his cell.
Then taking bed spread be tore it
in strips and tying it on the inside
crawled through the aperture and
attempted to let himself down on the
roof with his self improvised rope
when it parted, and he fell to the
ground, and was instantly killed.
The coroner was notified but after
having the facts decided that an
inquest was unnecessary. The re-
mains were buried and the grave
marked by the Asylum authorities.
The following queer story is from
the Weston Democrat: On Friday
OF last week deed was admitted to
record in the clerks Office at Weston
by which William j. Bailey, a highly
respectable and venerable citizen of
Freeman's Creek district, conveys to
the trustees of Broaddus College at
Clarksburg 20S acres of his old home
farm as an endowment. The only
consideration is that the proceeds of
the land be used in the erection of a
building to bear his name. 1t APP
pears, however, that few years ago
this same land was transferred to
Bland Bailey, nephew OF the donor
in consideration of life support, and
this conveyance is also upon record,
making two gifts of the same prop
erty. 1t will be interesting to watch
the proceedings.

The American people have hat

1t has come to pass that pretty
much all the Boosting of the friends
of the Mckinley Bill is now confined
TO the removal of the tax on sugar

creased duties--that characteristic

The people do indeed "revel' in

failed to observe that the reduction
in price corresponds very closely to
the reduction in the duty Even
the dullest have learned that the
tariff was tax.
The people would also be glad to
"revel' in untaxed clothing, food,

free sugar they learn that untaxing
necessaries cheapens them and leads
to increased consumption and ga

MASKED THIEVES.
Rob a Fayette County Man Of Nearly
$1,000.

Robbers on Wednesday night of
last week, took between 1900 and
81 600 from William Foster of Frank
lin township. Mr.. Foster is a farm
er, and kept the money he saved in
his house. He was known as a care
full, frugal business man. A house.
keeper, who has been with him for
years, was the only one present be.
side himself when the robbers called.
There were five of the robbers, and
they knocked at his door soon after
s o'clock, p. m. Altho it was early
in the evening, Mr. Foster had retir.
ed. Being early, he unhesitatingly
opened the door, thinking it some
neighbor. Five masked men appear
ed to him. and four of them entered
the house. They told Mr.. Foster to
sit down, and when he did so, they
tied him to the chair The house
keeper was upstairs, and had not yet
retired, and upon coming down was
also tied to chair The robbers
were armed, aud they told Mr. Eos
ter they knew he had money. and
demanded that he tell them where it
was. He saw resistance was useless,
and told them it was in a certain
bureau. They got the money and
put it in their pockets. 1t was the
savings of many years. Over 5000
was in gold; $500 silver, and the
balance in bills. The robbers left
Mr.. Foster and his housekeeper
tied and they succeeded in releasing
themselves soon after the robbers
had left One of the robbers
thought Mr.. Foster recognized him,
and demanded to know of him if he
did, but Mr.. Foster said that he did
not. If he had answered otherwise,
it is probable that they would have
taken his life.
The loss is heavy one. and those
who perpetrated the outrage upon
the old man should be punished.
People should put their surplus
money which they do not want to
use at once, in the banks.

What the Billion Means.

A correspondent oi u Western pa
per does some figuring upon The ex
pendi,uies of Reeds deceased Con
gross that is worth thinking about
Here is what he says:
The Tl,00S, 100000, the amount
prnt by the Reed Congress up to
the last sitting and adjournment OF
Congress, IS something stupendous
indeed. How many are there who
imagine how vast the sum is? Never
has there been so large an amount
spent by any previous Congress for
the same length of time-two years.
In fact, the amount wasted by any
other Congress dwindles and fades
into utter insigpilicance as compared
with the above. See the startling
figures it shows u"
Nineteen dollars for every hour
since the creation of the world up to
the present time; $50 per hour since
the coming of our Saviour on earth;
81 900 per hour since the Declaration
of Independence; 1885 for every
hour since the Inauguration of Abra-
ham Lincoln, or the commencement
of the Civil War; last, but not least
by any means, 1913 for every hour
since the Inauguration of BENJAMIN
Harrison up to adjournment of the
present Congress, or that amount in
two years; 1859 for every minute,
VIC for every second, or nearly $17
per head for every man, woman and
child in the United States. The above
is worth contemplating by the young.

at is amusing as well as interesting
to recall the names by which the oppo-

known since the Revolution. Here is
the list. We do not pretend to say that
all the different parties that have at
tempted the overthrow of Democracy
since the formation of the Government
are named herein, for, like the color,
platforms and pretensions of the persons
themselves, they are innumerable:
They were in 1776, Loyalists-Loyal

Democracy has withstood the storms
and bombardments of all this opposition

all her mighty power, and she and prin-

and fight the battles of free people as
long as the sun shines upon our free in

Best Two in Three On the License
Vote.
no the Editor Of the NEW DoxrxloN

To the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION:
The election of last Saturday
ought to be sufficient TO convince
the Town Council and the two or
three men who persist in trying to
inflict this community with the liq-
uor traffic, that the people don't
want it and don't intend to have it.
They may as well consider this
much settled. 1t is settled not
for this year, but permanently. If
those who want to make the liquor
traffic business are still hoping by
some hook or crook to defeat the
will of the people they will
probably learn later that the
game is not worth the candle. They
are operating in very uncongenial
soil. The more they cultivate it
the more it will refuse to yield. The
public Judgment IS about as well
settled on this subject as on any
public matter. 1t is so well settled
that it would seem to any intelligent
man who had looked over the ground,
that the chances Of the business
would not Justify any further effort
or hope of success A practical man
under such conditions would furl
sails and go into port.
1t was a very practical man who
said, the other day, that anybody
who would want the liquor
traffic opened in this town is a
fool" He is not citizen of the
town, but a frequent visitor, and an
intelligent, sagacious observer, and
his blunt expression was the very
forcible conclusion of practical !,
business man who had looked at all
the conditions.
If those few wiseacrcs who are so
assiduously trying to educate the
dull and unsophisticated business
men of the town to see that its
business interests depend on the
opening of the dram shops" are as
wise as they appear to be, they will
now turn their battering rams
against some less impregnable wall
for strange as it may seem our bust
ness men are such stupid nincom-
poops that they are almost unit
against the liquor traffic.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
The Village of McCIeIIandtown Nearly
Wiped Out. Loss, $15, ZOO;
Insurance, SIS. 900.
The Courier.

!
McClellandtown, in Fayette Coun
ty Pa. was the scene Of a disastrous
cont1agration about 2 o'clock, Thurs
day afternoon, when the large frame
building occupied by M. M. Stricken
and David Moser as a general store
and dwelling, was discovered to be on
fire. The flames were first observed
Issuing from the windows over the
the store room, and it was but a
moment until the entire building
was sheet of flames. An alarm
was spread at once, but the fire had
gained such Roadway that the
bucket brigade was powerless to
prevent the spreading of the flames.
Mr.. John Maser's new stable across
the street caught fire and burned
to the ground. For a time it looked
as though the entire town would
have to go. The fire was fought bit
terly for several hours, Moser's house
being on fire several times, and more
than once it seemed certain that it
must be abandoned to the flames.
The men fought bravelv, however.
and soon had the fire under control.
The Moser house was badly scorchei
outside, nearly every window being
broken, and the inside walls were
all badly cracked and the house
drenched with water The lumber
shed of John Moser also ignited and
burned down, but the lumber
stored in it was saved. The fire is
thought to be incendiary, as only
few days ago part of one of the
buildings burned was found to he
saturated with oil The property
occupied by Sucker belonged TO c.
B. Scott, who recently removed to
Bethany, W. Va. The damages will
reach $4,000, on which there is
about $4,000 insurance. There
seems to be strange and mysterious
fatality overhanging McClelland
town, so far as fires are concerned.
But few years ago the Moser Broth
ers' store rooms and dwelling adjoin-
ing were destroyed, aud the destruc
tion Of the double house of Cue and
Alton, in which w. B. Alton lost his
life, is still in the minds of many of
our readers.
