and is guarding them near his camp.
The garrison at Fort Anderson has

turned over the captive. He then or
dered his men to arrest all suspicious
looking men
They went around the village and ar
rested men promiscuously until 100 had
been taken into camp. He addressed them
as follows:
"You promised to release Capt. Ander-
son at / o'clock. You have broken faith
with me. You shall produce him in one
hour, or | will proceed to burn every
house in town and will shoot every one of
you down"
In less than'an hour committee sent
out for the purpose marched into camp
and surrendered the prisoner He imme-
diately resumed command at Fort Ander-
son. He had been concealed in little
farm house on the outskirts of the viii
lage.
When the special train bearing the bod
les OF the two volunteers who were killed
in the battle at Coal Creek yesterday and
the volunteers who went to the front
rolled into the depot, 5000 people were
gathered about the station, and the ex-
citement was higher than at any time
since the trouble began. When the train
stopped the men, who bore every evidence
Of actual service on the field of battle,
poured out Of the coaches and formed in .
line through which their two dead com
rades were carried in military style.
Not until the arrival of this train was
it possible to get direct statement of the
battle and the exciting incidents leading
up to it.
Five men were killed in ALL The dead
militiamen are:
John T. Walthall, of this city. railway
clerk, aged %.

The volunteers and 100 soldiers of the
Second Regiment reached Offutts, small
village four miles this side of Coal Creek,
about IL o'clock at night.
They left Offutts about o'clock and
went across Walden's Ridge by circuit
GUS route, so as to reach Fort Anderson
from a point farthest removed from the
village Of Coal Creek. The night was
dark as pitch and the loneliness of the
road was depressing.

Fell Into an Ambuscade.

Just after they started down the noun
tain on the north side towards Fort An
derson the men were divided into three
squads Soon afterward three men, all
uniformed and claiming to be friendly to
the soldiers appeared, and offered to pilot
the regiment down the mountain. With
out suspicion the troops followed them
into w,ll planned ambuscade.
The Stars and Stripes at Fort Anderson
were in full view and the men were feel
ing relieved at the near approach of forti-
fications and were joking with each other
when bullets began whistling about their
ears.
Part of the men had passed the ambus-
cade before firing commenced, and they
received volley of bullets in the back.
Carty, Walthall Gvens and Heiskel
were all in this party. The other COM
panies faced about at once and opened
fire on the ambuscade.
Major Carpenter seeing that the odds
were greatly against him, ordered all
three companies TO retreat, and the long
march over the mountain was commenced
again. The regiment reached Ohutts at
~ o'oloc k thoroughly exhausted.

The Cash Discount ON Dogs.

A stout old man in gray ulster hailed a
Fourth avenue at Worth street the
other day. One hand was occupied with a
rather impetuous bulldog on chain and
the other waved baggy umbrella. When
the car stopped the man hauled the bull
dog up to the rear platform and said to the
conductor:
lake dorg on your carr"
"No."
''AIe and John William has got to get
up town"
Cant help it; watkins good"
LET me ride on the platform and hitch
John William to the brake?"
The conductor agreed to this, and John
William trotted pacidly along up the
Bowery without mishap, beyond upsetting
two newsbOys. Somehow nobody wanted
to get off the car on John Williams side,
and people on the crossings waiting for
the car to pass kindly gave John William
all the room he wanted. At Seventeenth
street, however, there was a crossto@n car
In waiting, and the driver, intent on the
hairbreadth escape of the rear platform
which crosstown driver loves to make,
reckoned without John William, who was
pattering calmly along beside the step.
Hey, hey, hold on!' called the old man
on the platform excitedly. But it was too
late; there wasn't room between the cross
town horse and the platform of the Fourth
avenue car for even the alert John vii
liam to pass, and it seemed as if the dog
must be inevitably crushed. John vii
liam, however, regarded it otherwise He
seemed to know that his only chance lay
IN breaking his chain. So by quick
bound to the farthest side of the cross
town horse he brought the whole strain
upon the chain across the horses chest, and
swapping his bonds like string he trotted
calmly up Fourth avenue after his master
well, now, amt he dog" calculated
the conductor admiringly
There amt his beat in New York" re-
sponded his owner proudly. "Of course
there's other dogs here and there" he
added as a great concession. but they sim.

that dog"
Reckon he's worth it," said the con
ductor
There was another man on the platform.
He looked John William over critically in
silence, and two blocks farther on he said:
III give you ten dollars for your dog"
Mean it?" asked John Williams owner
anxiously.

Cash; no bluff"
'Of course"

Then the lawyer grew sarcastic. He
was losing his patience. The Judge re-

delicate.

A Curious Wager.

A wager was made in 1906 in the Castle
yard, York, England, between Thomas
Hodgson and Samuel Whitehead, as to
which should succeed in assuming the
most singular character. Umpires were
selected, whose duty it was to decide upon
the comparative absurdity of the costumes
in which the two men were to appear. On
the appointed day Hodgson came before
the umpires decorated with bank notes of
various values, his coat and vest being en-
tirely covered with them. Besides these
he had a row OF Eve guinea pieces down mis-
back, a Melted purse of gold around his
head and placard on his back bearing the
legend, John Bull"
Whitehead came on the scene dressed
ike woman on one side, one half of his
face painted and silk stocking and slim
per on one foot and leg. The other half of
his face was blackened so as TO resemble a
negro; on the corresponding side of his
body he wore a gaudy, long tailed linen
coat, his leg on that side being incased in
half a pair Of leather breeches and boot
with spur. He wore a wig of sky blue
braided down his back and tied with vel.
low, red and orange colored ribbons.
One would naturally fancy that he pre-
sented the most singular and ludicrous ap-
pearance, but the umpires must have
thought differently, as they awarded the
stakes, some twenty pounds, to Hodgson

The Disease Caused by AIicrobe Arising
from Marsh Lands In Central Asia
A recent writer has considered at length
the conditions which give rise to influenza

substantially the following conclusions:
Influenza is a disease caused by exceed.
fngly minute microbes, arising from ex.
tensive areas Of marsh or sodden land IN
central Asia, China, or Siberia. The MI
nuteness Of the microbes or their spores IS
shown by their easy trausmissibiiity, and
the large number Of persons capable OF be

that OF cholera, muItiplies with great rapid
ity, and probably soon produces sufficient
poison 10 terminate Its career in the boiy
but not before mulli1udes Of spores or uf
erobes have been given of by the breath.
