bound to find everywhere, the second,
he, all unintentionally, achieved. and
in SO doing added to the last an unex-
pected, but quite respectable sum.
Frank was one of the bravest, heart
lest and most CHEEKY young fellows
have ever known; and when. tired OF
the hard work on the diggings, he bade
us good-by one April morning and
started off to wall, as his first homeward
stage, across country to the main road
leading to Melbourne, we all felt that
we had lost comrade not easy TO re-
place..
In those colonial ante-railway days
(1854) we, who were located in out OF
the way places, never saw q newspa-
per, although to some of the more pop
ulous diggings the Melbourne Argus
was q frequent visitor. We therefore
remained ign GRANT of the stir made in
the local press over certain events, in
which Frank bore a conspicuous part,
and of which learned the particulars
only after my own return to America,
two years afterwards, when as | sat
one day in the reading-room of the old
Astor house, New York, who should
march in but Frank Power himself!
Then we sailed our voyage around the
word, made the weary tramp to the
diggings and dug our gold all over
again-in reminiscent imaginings; and
now, for the first time, heard of what
had befallen Frank after he left us at
Jim Crow creek.

have mistaken the distance or the di-

One Wounded Indian Set Troop OF Cav

There was one feature of the fight
between the Seventh cavalry and the
Sioux at Wounded Knee which indicates
in the most unsnistakable 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 a shot
was heard and q horse fell wounded.
The troops were puzzled to know
where the shot came from, but their
mystification was soon ended by q puff
of smoke from the top of chimney-like
rock on . neighboring bluff. the ring of
rine ball followed by the whip-like
crack Of q Winchester. An Indian 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 in his disabled condition.

50 well was he covered that not shot
sould 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.
