When the sculptor has secured all the
material possible he begins to shape

When the head Is finished in clay II Is
approved either as regards it's proper
tons or its likeness to the original, and
when SO approved 1t is ready for the
molder TO handle.
The next operation Is an important
one, MS it means, TO certain extent, the

long aud patient work. This operation
is the cutting away of all the clay which

its special correspondent the following
story OF a fight between the troops and
Big Foot's Indians at the camp at
Wounded Knee: At s O'clock on the
29th troops we're massed about tho
Indian village. Hotchkiss guns were
overlooking the camp not fifty yards
away. Colonel Forsythe ordered all
the Indians to come forward away
from the tents. They came and sat
in a half circle until counted. The
dlsmouuted troops were then thrown
around them, Company X. Captain
Wallace, and Company b, Captain
Varnum. The'order was then given
to twenty Of the Indians to go and get
their guns, they returned with only
two guns. Detachment OF troops be-
gan to search the village, finding SS
guns. AS this task was completed
the Indians were surrounded by COM
panies X and b, who began to move.
All OF n sudden the Indians threw
their blankets to the ground whipped
up rifles and began firing at the troops
not twenty feet away. The troops
were at great disadvantage, fearful OF
shooting their own comrades. Tho
Indian men, women and children then
ran TO the south, tho battery firing
rapidly as they ran. Soon the dis
mounted troops were after them,
shooting them down on every hand.
The engagement lasted fully an hour
and half. To the south many took
refagc in ravine, from which It was
difficult TO dslodge them. / should
estimate the killed and wounded, from
what saw on the field and in the vi.
entity, at fifty. just now it is inn
possible to state the exact number.
The soldiers are shooting them down
whenever found. Tho field was one
of great confusion. Horses running
in every direction, and men for n few
minutes frantic, owing to tfe unfortu.
nate way in which they were placed.
Captain Wallace Of X troop was the
only officer killed.

A STRANGE CASE.
Death OF a Young Man in St Louis
Caused by an Orange Seed.

Hiram d. Armour. 20 years of age,
a drug clerk, and son of Otto ID. Ar
mour, proprietor of one OF the largest
retail drug establishments in st. Louis,
died in great agony, as the result OF
swallowing an orange SEED year ago.
just week ago the young man was
taken sick with vomiting and
diarrhoea. His father gave him some
simple remedy that helped his sick
ness, but this was followed with in
tense pain in the right side of the alb.
domen. A physician was called, and
he said the pain was due TO an obstrdc-
tion in one OF the intestines. The
pain increased in such intensity that
the young man shrieked with agony.
The physician called in Dr. A. G.
Burnays, one of the most distinguished
surgeons in st. Louis, who said the
diagnosis was right, and that the srf-
ferer could not live twenty-four hours
without an operation. The knife was
applied and it was found that an orange
seed, supposedly swallowed about a
year ago, had lodged in the fold OF a
small intestine. The seed had rotted
and burst and perforated the intestine.
A portion OF the diseased tissue was
removed, and Notwithstanding the
great Inflammation the surgeon hoped
he would recover, but death resulted
the next day.

THE NEW JUDGE.
Brief Sketch OF the Life OF Jud &c
Henry Ii. Brown.

The news OF the appointment OF
Judge Henry b. Brown, Of Detroit, to
be associate justice OF the supreme
court of the United States, was re-
ceived with signs OF marked approval
from all sides among his neighbors in
Detroit. Jadge Brown was born at
Leo, Mass, March 2, 1886, where his
father was manufacturer. He grad
uated from Yale University in 1856,
having for his classmates Chauncey
M, Depew, Judge David Brewer, and
others who have since attained ma
tional regulations. At the close Of
his college course he spent year in
Europe, studying languages, and trav-
cling extensively on the continent.
Returning he began his law studies at
Hartford, Conn. but received his de-
grees from the Hartford law depart
ment. In 1859 he came to Detroit and
entered the Office OF Walker Il Russell.
In April. 1861, he was appointed
deputy United States marshal and as
sistant district attorney. His connec-
ton with the latter office continued
until 1868, when Governor Grape
made HIM judge OF the Wayne circuit
court to fill vacancy caused by the
resignation of c. l.. Walker. AT the
election Of Judge Cutchen to this
place, Judge Brown entered into part
nership with John S. Newberry and
Ashly Pond, remaining with the lat
ter until March, 1875, when he was
appointed by President Grant judge
for the eastern district OF Michigan.
Politically Judge Brown is Republ!-
can. He is now "a years old and has
been on the bench fifteen years.

Two 16-year- girls, Misses Ma
mic Crawford and Bertha Loomis,
with rare presence of mind, extin-
guished an incipient fire in Fort Dodge
few days ago. They found heavy
ladder in the back yard, and by ex-
erling all their strength were able to
drag 1t to the house and bring it to
bear upon the burning roof. The gar
den hose was connected with the hy-
drant, and Miss Crawford held the
swaying ladder, while Miss Loomis, in
the face of the bowling wind crawled
up the ladder. A few moments OF
lively work extingulshed the flames,
and when the fire department arrived
on the scene the girls were smiliugly
explaining how easily they had put
tie fire out.
A largo number OF the farmers Of

in sheep raising met at Livermore and

citation. Theo. j. Smith was elected
president and w. w. Blanchard Sec
rotary. Many questions of interest
were discussed and opinions advanced
by Messrs. Stark, Kenyon, Hunt and
others. The next meeting was set
for Jan. II, at the same place. Much
interest was manifested and the asso-
citation is bound to grow. The mem.
bers are all of the opinion that Iowa
is tho banner state for sheep raising
and the interests OF that branch Of
farming should be looked up.
The Twins of Kirkville have agreed
to disagree and the property has been

appearance some time ago led to the
arrest of her husband on suspicion of
numbering her. She left on account
