D Nineteen Hours Battle with Outlaws
Deputy Marshal Calcraft has Just re-
turned from the Sac and Fox reservs-

how he and nine other deputies and
troop of United States cavalry effected
the capture of the Dalton boys and their
gang for robbing the Santa Fe train at
Wharton
Thursday the trail of the robbers was
found by the Indian scouts and blood
hounds put on the track The robbers
fed to a cave in the hills, and there shot
the dogs as they came up. and when the
deputies arrived they opened fire and
drove them back The marshais sent for
assistance, and the troops arrived late
Thursday evening.
For nineteen hours pitched battle
ragged. which resulted in the killing Of
Bob Dalton and the wouniing of James
Eaton, private. As the outlaws had
neither food nor water they were at last
obliged 10 surrender, and held out a flag
of truce. but as the officers were afraid
Of treachery they compelled the outlaws
to come to the mouth of the cave with
their hands up over their heads and with
neither guns nor pistols on their persons.
The four survivors appeared at the open
ing in the position designated. but the
marshals were not satisfied with their
statement that Bob was dead, and COM
PEELED the remaining members to go
back and bring the dead body into view.
This was done, and the outlaws were

About Eve years ago Nj. James j
Arnold, son Of old Parson Ayuo,d. veil
known in Shelby and adjoining counties
Of Alabama, while Visiting his step-
mother, Mrs. Nancy Arnold, 81 calcra.
Shelby county, had 4-year-oId dau0b-.
ter, Mahala j., stolen from him NJ.
Arnold learned that bis child had been
seen with woman WHO called herneIf
Sarah j. Colbert. and who had undoubt-
ediy taken the girl away. Inquiry Il
the railroad Office at CaIera revealed no
hint as to the direction gone or the Oh
jectise point Of the child stealer. The
chiid's mother had died when the former
was an infant. but there was 4 small
brother and sister still living, home com.
panions at the time Of the abduction az
the girl.
A search for the stolen daughter
proved fruitless, and ave years had
elapsed In the meantime the father
had moved to Mississippi and returned
again 70 Tuscaloosa county, where he
lived when his daughter was stolen. and
where he has resided for the last two
years, since his return from Mississippi
In 1887 John G. Arnold, who had as
sisted his brother in the search for the
lost child, received a postal card, dated
Jan. IA, from Key, Ala, and signed 81.

ties he had inquired about got their
mail at that Office From this clcw only
the brother continued his search by in
quiries and correspondence in the effort
to discover the whereabouts Of his lost
niece
Nearly three more years were thus
spent in trying to unravel the mystery Of
the stolen child. when at last what ap-
peared 10 be fruitless effort was re-
warded by a substantial clew to the
girls probable whereabouts. The father
recently set out from his home. nearly
twenty miles south Of Tuskssoosa CITY.
to trace up the information he had OBJ
tained- On reaching St, Clair he fol-
lowed the winnings OF the Coosa via
Greensport and Hoke's Bluff, entering
Cherokee-the county he set out for. He
had learned that a little waif girl had
been left with McAlva in Cherokee,
about fifteen TO eighteen miles above
Coloma- A description of the child con-
vinced Dir. Arnold that she was his lost
daughter On reaching McAlva's his
convictions were confirmed as soon as
his eyes looked upon her features.
McAiva said the girl had been left at
his house by woman calling herself
Sal Wheeler. who was foune, to 60 also
by the alias Sal Colbert, and who after
ward came back after the child, he re-
fusing to give her up, but let her have
the latter's clothes. which she demanded
The girl had been called Emma BY the
woman who stole her, but retained the
memory of her real name. Mahala Is

History of the Rat.

No, not the slang phrase, but the
bothersome little rodent Rats are ma
uves of Asia and their raids westward
belong to comparatively modern times.
The little animal was unknown in an
cient Europe. The black rat first came
to Europe from Asia in the Sixteenth
century, and about the beginning of the
Seventeenth or the ending of the Six
tenth century he arrived in Americs,
This black rat was the common house
rat until the brown or gray rat made his
appearance in l175. The gray rat came
70 Europe from India by way of Russia,
and is now known as the Norway rat
from mistaken tradition that it came
from Norway TO England. and from the
latter country TO America.-St Louis

succeeded in finding out the exact
cost of this vessel. We are informed
that it is about so, 900.
We believe it to be more; but, accept

her original cost was close upon flSl,-

of her displacement, or some Isoo'ooo III

incurred on the fabric and furniture oil
the four royal yachts is not less than
$500, 900. We have good grounds for
supposing that it is very considerably

more than 1900 on total tonnage OF

The first resolution adopted by the
state alliance recently held at Dayton
would lead ono to infer that the average
hayseed bird is never likely to be caught
with "Single taxi chaff.- The very fact
that the Washington law, that exempts
notes and accounts from taxation, is so
far in line with the single tax system
that proposes to tax nothing but land,
induces the members of the Washington
alliance to put themselves ON record as
they do in the preamble of the resolu-
ton in the following fashion:
Whereas, our state constitution guar
antees to us system of taxation, just
and equal and in as much as our late
legislature did pass a revenue law very
Objectionable in that it appears to be a

trained. This was a foundation feature
of the Agricultural college-to combine
manual labor and mental training so as
to make labor pleasant as well as profit
able. This was followed by reading
by Miss Smith, after which P. P. Under
wood and d. Harrington read two short
but suggestive and valuable essays on
Summer Fallowing." Facts and fig
ures were given which proved beyond the
shadow of question that the farmers of
Wasco county must resort to summer
following if they expect to reap the best
results. 1t was generally agreed that
the remedy for dry seasons was, to a
large extent, in the farmers own hands.
In the discussion that followed these
papers, questions relating to deep or
shallow blowing, planting corn or pota-
toes on summer fallow, leaving the fall
low rough or smooth, cultivating the
fallow, and second plowing and many
good deal of practical informatian was
elected.
This was followed by recitation by
Miss Eva Vanderpool after which Pro-
fessor Frazer. read valuable paper on
GEOLOGY and botany in our public
schools" The professor ably contended
that no education is complete that does
not embrace the whole man, in his phys
ical as well as mental constitution.
Ed Hartman then followed with a
short but suggestive paper, in which he
took the affirmative of the question,
"Should the principles of agriculture be
taught in our public schools?' Mr..
Hartman contended that the common
schools should be furnished with few
acres of ground by means of which
pupils might be trained in some of the
simpler principles of agricultural sci
ence. A little caustic criticism on ven
tilation in our public schools by Miss
Smell brought Professor Frazer to his
feet only to find that he had his match
in the ringing, clear-cut and incIsive
replies of the female professor. The
meeting then adjourned to meet for its
last session at seven o'clock.

1t is due to the state agricultural COL
lege to say that the members of the fac
ulty who go out over the country hold
ing farmers Institutes, seem thoroughly
devoted to the interests of their several
departments of labor and to the general
success and prosperity of the college.
We believe this school offers to the sons
of the farmers of the state advantages
not to be found in other institutions of
learning, in the way of acquiring thor
ough knowledge of cultivating the soil,
besides embuing them with the love of
farm life and the dignity of farm labor.
1t is beyond question that the attend
ance of farmers sons at the higher in
stitutions of learning has the general
tendency of weaving them from the
farm and driving them to the cities and
towns under the foolish impression that
it is more honorable to stand behind a
dry goods counter and wear store
clothes than to enjoy the manly inde-
pendence OF the farm life, albeit clothed
betimes in jeans and oyeralls. 1t is a
matter Of record that only 4 very small
per cent. of farmers sons who are edu-
Gated at merely literary colleges go back
to farm life, while of those educated at
agricultural colleges the vast majority
are content to remain on the farm. In
stitutions whose labors have a tendency
to dignity labor and keep young men
from the temptations and vices of city
life have right to our respect and en-
couragement.

10 80 o'clock with a good attendance.
Aftor music by the choir an essay was
read by J. Trout on Education and
Reform and how best to obtain them"
sMr. Trout's paper dealt chiefly with the
subject of the nations finances and advo-

After short and animated discussion
a selection of music was admirably rem
dered by the pupils of tha Dufur graded
school, followed by a recitation by Mas

lecture was replete with instructions re-
