Mr. Wright said that when the enemy
fired on them the two men in front of
him and the man at his right were shot
down. He fired his gun and ran some
distance till he came to the hollow stump
of a chestnut tree into which he stepped
and loaded his gun. Hearing terrible
yells he looked ont aud saw a soldier
running from Frenchman with a toma-
hawk, and they passed out of sight over
a hill and the cries soon ceased but the
Frenchman soon returned with the sol

allowed him to come as neara as he wanted

LOAN AGENT, DISTURBED

The publication some days ago in an
Eastern paper that Connecticut invest
or had been refused payment of interest
by Kansas farmer the reason being
that the farmer had joined the Alliance
and had stopped paying his debts, has
caused profound sensation in the State
of Kansas, says despatch from Kansas
City,
The publication of the fact of individ-
ual reputation by Alliance members has
created feeling of uneasiness among
those who have money loaned in the
State and the investment companies in
this city. This is the first instance of a
direct refusal, and those who have money
out are afraid they will be treated the
same way.
An agent of Boston inventment com
pany was seen in regard to the matter,
and told your correspondent that the
story was being closely investigated, and
| if it was found correct it would result in
the withdrawal of all the funds of his
company from the State. As this com.
pany has over 81, 600, 900 invested in Kan
sas mortgages, 1t can be seen what the
result OF such move would be,
L. L. Elder, the speaker of the Kansas
House of Representatives, which has lust
adjourned, was seen and questioned on
the subject. Mr.. Elder was apparently
very indignant over the publication re.
ferred TO, but when asked the direct
question whether the Alliance members
proposed to repudiate their debts he
gave an indirect answer and said the
people were in dad fix and needed
to be protected from the money sharks
Of the East who had been eating them
out of house and home.
Mr.. Elder was adverse to talking on
Alliance affairs and said that
while he saw that the recent
agitation had scared Eastern money
lenders lie had fear that the farmers
would suffer, for the farms could not be
sold for the amount of the loans and the
investors did not want to take the lands.
They were not going to foreclose as
long as there was any probability of hay
ing TO buy in the property. In other
words he said that the farmers could
stay on their farms, rent and interest
free, as long as times were hard.
