sent by Red Cloud for him to turn
back; how he persisted in his deter
mination to see the hostile tepees, but
was finally persuaded to desist, and
then how he was shot in the back of
the head by Plenty Horses just as
Casey turned his horse to go back.
Soon after peace was declared Plenty
Horses was arrested and confined in
Fort Meade, near Deadwood, and from
there taken to Sioux Falls, S. D.,
where he was tried on the charge of
murder. Plenty Horses lawyers as
serted that the treaties with the Sioux
do not take away their right to declare
war, which the United States recog-
nized by sending large force of men
into tEeir reservation.
At the trial, when attorneys were
preparing to commence their argu-
ments, Judge Shiras said: "There is
no need of going further with this
case. What [ shall say is the opinion
of this court. but not of my colleague.
It is said on my own responsibility.
The Judge then said in substance that
the guilt or innocence of the accused
turned upon the question as to wheth-
er or not state of actual war existed
at the time of Casey's DEATH In the
opinion of the Court it had been shown
beyond a doubt that such state of
war did exist. Immediately upon adj
journment Plenty Horses was sur
rounded by ladies and other specta-
tors, who shook hands with him for
some time, after which Attorney Pow
ers. with beaming face, led his still
silent and undemonstrative client to
his hotel, where Plenty Horses spent
some time writing autographs for by
ISLANDERS.
Plenry Horses was educated at the
Carlisle Pa.) school for five years.
When he returned to his tribe, not
having any opportunity to apply what
he had learned, he soon slipped back
into savage ways, and was one of the
most redoubtable warriors of the Sioux
tribe.

we heard the creaking of the wheel
barrow announcing their return. Frank
and | FASTENED to examine the purchases,
and it was evident that the boys had
chosen the articles with an eye to guam
tity rather than quality.
There were two pounds OF powder in
an old iron kettle, free crackers in all
shapes and sizes, and other parcels OF
pyrotechnics too numerous to mention.
After we had sufficiently examined the
contents Of the WheelbarrOW, the ques-
ton was asked
"Where shall we put all this stuff?"
BY this time our folks were doubtless
in bed, where we ought to have been
also, and the barns and sheds locked, so
that there seemed to be no opportunity
of secreting the goods at our homes We
had not thought OF this in our previous
planning.
"Say, fellows" whispered Joe, sud-
denly, "why can't we hide it under the
bandstand?"
The place referred to was heXagon-
al. box-Iike fair that stood in the pub
lie square at the base of the flagstaff.
1t was three or four feet high, and this
elevated platform was occupied by the
local band on occasions like the one now
approaching. The sides were composed
of lattice-work painted green, and the
space under tho floor was used by the
authorities TO stow away various articles
belonging to the town for which no i'm
mediate use could be found
1t was close to the spot whore we had
halted for consul ation, and leaving the
barrow in the shadow of fence, we
FASTENED to examine it as a possible re-
ceDtable for our goods.
"Just the thing" said Tom, peering
through the lattice-work. "But how can
we get in? The door is locked"
ooh, that is easy enough" said Joe;
"there's a loose board in the floor that
father intended to nail down some time
ago" docs father was jantor of the
Town Hall J, "but luckily for us he for
got to do so. We can pry up the board
and drop our fireworks into the space be-
meath, where they'll be safe enough till
we can get them out. I'm pretty sure |

homes. feeling sure that the Fourth of
July that year would end with a surprise
that would cause US. the authors of it,
to be envied for long time afterward
among the other boys Alas! there is
many slip But will not anticipate.
The next day we spent in collecting
and placing in position the barrels and
boxes for the bonfire that was TO usher
in the glorious Fourth.
To our disappointment Joe was I'M
able to obtain the key by which we were
to gain access to the hiding place of our
pyrotechnics and we were forced to
leave them in their concealment another
night. Joe was sure he could get the
key early on the following morning,
when we would have plenty of time to
accomplish our purpose before the peo-
pie were out OF bed.

But, wearied with our eXertlons On
the night of the Sd, we overslept our
selves on the Fourth, and thus again our
treasure was forced to run the gancieO

The boys were unanimous IN thelI
opinion that it was an unusualiy quioO
Fourth of July. But what with inc

noisy enough.
The real celebration was begun a1ter
dinner. The brass band took It's posi-
ton on the band-stand holly unaware
that they were sitting, SO to speak, Oh

of the celebration committee introduced

time honored custom, read the Declara-

The cause of al this turmoil seemed

to him.
When the noise had somewhat abated,
he advanced to the railing OF the plat
form to continue his harangue; but
scarce dozen words were said when,
before the eyes of the astonished audi
ence, the platform, with all its occu-
pants, rose in the air in confused mass,
like steamboat whose boiler had burst.
The truth instantly flashed upon me,

A BRITISH VIEW OF 1T.
Why We Do Not Celebrate the Glorious
Fourth as of Yore.

Fourth as of Yore.
Thirty or forty years ago the Fourth
of July could scarcely be called a happy
day for any patriotic Britisher who
CHANGED to be temporarily located under
the shadow of the stars and stripes
There were still a few aged men alive
who could dimly recall the war of indie
pendence, while there were numerous
survivors Of the struggle of 1912. The
consequence was that at the multitudin-
Gus celebrations which were held all
over the country the British lion formed
the piece de resistance of the oratorical
feasts, and he was hacked and hewed in
the most merciless fashion by speakers
of the Jefferson Brick type.
Turning to present day celebrations, a
wonderful! and, it may be added, a well
come change is noticeable. The Ameri-
can boy, no doubt, still honors the glo-
rious day with profuse expenditure of
gunpOwder, but he is as much an object
of terror to his own countrymen as to
the foreign sojourner. The old spread
eagle school of rhetoricians, however,
has become well-nigh extinct. This is
partly due to lapse of time. Both 1775
and 1912 have now become ancient his
tory. The States, too, have become so
populous and powerful that they can get
on without "blowing," as the Australian
phrase has it. Besides, the Americans
have gradually discovered that the moth
er country is not bad sort of old girl
after all when you get to know her.
The most potent of all the instruments
which have changed the sentiments pre-
vailing on Independence Day is the
great civil war. The memories of that
tremendous CONFUSION has almost hid
den the revolution from view. The
Northern Americans then learned that
rebellion is painful shock to those
against whom the revolt is made, and
they could even feel some sympathy for
poor pig-headed George the Third iE a
similar predicament. The most pleas
ing feature, however, of recent celebra-
tions is that the animositieS which ragged
between 1861 and 1865 have now sunk
into oblivion. Thousands of men who
| -and-twenty years ago fought against
each other in Federal blue or Confeder-
ate gray met the other day on the field
of Gettysburg to fraternize and erect
monuments to their honored dead. Why
should not Frenchmen and Germans be
equally sensible and hold similar
| friendly greeting at Gravelotte?-Lo1o-

AtchiSon GIobuIes.

How innocent a guilty man may
look.
Gentleness carries with it great au-
thority.
We believe woman likes to look
tough when she is cleaning house.
A man who has associated with
thieves cannot appreciate honest men.
There is nothing man will not
promise to the woman he is not yet
married to-
People in love can always find some
thing to be wretched about.
A mans idea of heaven is q place
where every one is as good as he is.
A man can get out Of everything else
easier than compact made with the
devil.
There is no temptation greater than
the one which leads us to excuse our
weakness.
A man admires a woman most when
he hears that she had her teeth pulled
and didn't scream.
A man may not realize it when he is
going to the devil, but he will realize
it when he gets there.
Resignation is finding out that the
rock you are humping your head
against is a great deal harder than
your head.
Loafers are as a rule SO good-na-
tured, and busy people so cross, it
seems to prove that the Lord never in
tended people to work so hard.
It makes no difference how great a
fool you know man is; you will al
ways have high opinion of his intell1-
gence after you learn that he adm1res
you.
Happy is the man who, when he does
his worst, has some one in the world
who will say of him that he did the
best he could under the circumstances.
If woman can so live that she Is
without fault in the eyes Of other
women, she is too good for this world,
and is even better than any Of those
who have gone to heaven.

An Old District Beginning to Loon
Un.

An Old District Beginning to Loom
Up.
A HERALD representative met DIR.
Dunlap on the street yesterday. He was
in fine feather, and looked as if he had
won at horse-race or captured train
robber. But it was neither of these that
made his. face look jubilant. For sew
eral weeks he has been hard at work de-
veloping the Dunlap mine in Silverado
district, in the Santiago mountains.
The mine is located about four hours
ride from Orange, and was first operated
back in the last decade. DR.. Dunlap
has always had great faith in its rich
ness, if properly developed and worked.
He says it has never before received in
telligent handling till now. For some
time he has had gang of men sinking
shaft away from where the early ex-
plorations were made, with the result
that he has, at depth OF thirty-five
feet, opened rich ledge five feet in
width. He has taken out about
three hundred tons, which is now
on the dump, and has shipped
quantity of selected ore to San Fran
cisco for smelling. The ore on tie dump
will assay from $50 to $75 ton in silver.
Assays of the selected ore he is shipping
to San Francisco run as follows: Silver,
353 ounces to the ton; gold, 1927; lead,
SO per cent. This high value ore comes
into the ledge in strata, or veins, some
times small and at times of considerable
size. AS the ledge improves with depth
of development, there is possibility
that it may run into q very high class
ore. DIR. Dunlap has shown, by the
work be has recently done in the mine,
that the company had made mistake
years ago when it first commenced oper-
atoms. Instead of striking into the ledge,
it sunk into a slide in which large vein
of metal bearing rock had been carried
out of its place. The doctor is sure he
has now the "true business, and we fear
we shall be overloaded with another
millionaire if this thing goes on. How
ever. we can stand such millionaires as
the Doc. There is nothing stuck up
or starchy about him. Besides, he
hasn't got over the ways OF 40.

The Annex Still Lives and Elects
Officers.
The ladies' annex to the chamber OF
commerce met yesterday afternoon to
elect officers, the result being as follows
President, Mrs. Hartwell; first vice
president, Mrs. Hobill; second vice
president, Mrs. Junkins treasurer, Mrs.
Kirkbride; secretary, Mrs. Gingery
assistant secretary, Mrs. Bledsoe; di-
rectors, Mrs. McCreery, Mrs. Wilder,
Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Biles,
Mrs. Coronel.
The chamber has just issued the fol-
lowing bulletin:
BULLETIN NO. 3.
The week beginning October 10Th is
fair time in Los Angeles city. At the
Agricultural park there will be races
and display of fine stock. At the rooms
of the chamber OF commerce there will
be large display devoted to agricul-
ture, horticulture, manufacturing and
the arts.
This display will contain number Of
special attractions well worthy of nc
tice. Ventura county sends down nearly
carload of the choicest articles dis
played at her recent fair. A fine collec-
ton of exhibits is being gathered in
Santa Barbara county. Orange and San
Bernardino counties will also make con-
tributions to the display Every one
interested in the resources of the soil of
| Southern California should see this eX-
hibition.
The art display will contain, in addi-
ton to the work entered for premiums,
loan exhibit of the paintings OF j..
Bond francisco and the water colors of
e. E. Wachtel. Probably there are no
two artists in the state whose work has
recently excited so much interest and
criticism as that Of these two young
men, and as they have never before
shown in public, this feature of the dis
play is looked forward to with great ex-
pectation.
There will be remarkable display OF
water lilies OF all sizes and colors, in
Guiding the great Victoria Regia, which
has never before been shown in South
ern California.
A company of Mexican art leather
workers from Santa Barbara will occupy
booth and manufacture various leath-
er articles in public. This is very in
teresting process to witness.
There will be baby show. An ele-
CANT baby buggy and fifteen other arti-
cles are offered as premiums.
There will be music every evening by
the Arend orchestra. A large number
OF special solos and musical novelties
have been arranged.
Among special events already planned
are wand drill by the young ladies OF
the Normal school, athletic contests,
military drill, music by distinguished
amateurs, etc.,
On the opening night there will be
speeches by prominent men and appro-
pirate ceremonies.
An affair of this character should draw
out large attendance from all sections
OF Los Angeles county, and should have
many visitors from all of Southern Cali
fornia.
