Of company A. Third Missouri cav
airy, with forty confederates, while
escorting under flag Of truce
Capt j. Il. Foster and sixteen men OF
the First Iowa cavalry, were surround
ed by detachments of Todd's, Ander-
sons and Quantrel's guerrillas in a
lonely spot about twenty miles from
Lexington, Mo The guerrillas num-
bered about 150 men, and were in com
mand of the notorious and merciless
Jesse James and Cole Younger. Having
halted both detachments marching un-
manded of Col. Graves that he immedi-
ately surrender to them the federal sol
diers. This, he felt, would be to hand
them over to be massacred, and with an
honor and valor that were chivalric he
defiantly declined to do so. Riding in
front of his men and addressing the
guerrilla leaders, Lieut.. Graves said
that the men they asked TO be surren-
dered were in his charge, and that if
shot was fired or an attempt made to
injure them he and his men would die
in defense of their trust and the
federal soldiers This courageous
declaration quailed the guerrillas,
and they sullenly departed with
out being able 10 crafty their
brutal taste for murder and blood
They insisted, however, that the feder
al soldiers should at once proceed to get
within their own lines, and they fol-
lowed them for some distance, hoping
for safe opportunity TO attack them

er at Graham, Tex. The medal is a

RICE WILL CONTEST.
Probability that q Compromise Will Be
Reached During This Week.

There is a probability that the James H.
Rice will case will be taken out of court,
as an effort is now being made by the heirs
to compromise the matter. The heirs are
Mrs. Ryan. Miss Ella Rice. Mrs.
Thomas Hanlon. OF New Albany, Jo-
seph Rice. of Jefersonville, Mrs.
Meeker. of st. Louis. and Mrs. Cole
man. Of Cleveland. In the will which
Colonel Rice made eighteen months prior
to his death he divided his property
equally among the heirs except his
brother Joseph, who was not named.
The inference at the time was that he had
not included all his property in his will
and intended to provide for his brother in
some other way. At the Grand Hotel, after
his illness set in. Mr.. Rice made another
will leaving all his property to his sister,
Mrs. Ryan. Last week the heirs met In
this city to see IL q compromise could be
agreed upon. Mrs. Ryan realizing that the
last will would not stand. Mrs. Hanlon
was represented by her husband, Mrs.
Meeker and Mrs. Coleman by Joseph Rice,
while Mrs. Ryan and Miss Ella Rice were
present IN their own interest. Mrs. Ryan
agreed that if allowed to keep her house on
Tennessee street, given her by Colonel
to share the residue of the estate equally
was left ont of the first will. The latter in
sists that the estate shall be shared equally
by all the heirs. and that Mrs. Ry ans house
shall go in. Lawyers representing both
sides are now working In the hopes of
effectinG q compromise.
