BRAVE AND TRUE.
The CommendabIe Ambition of an Indian
Soldier.


Soldier.
Gen. Sir Hope Grant, in his narrative
of the Indian mutiny, relates an anec-
dote which does equal honor to himself
and one of his native soldiers. The
British had been fighting all day, driv-
ing the rebels before them, After
nightfall, however, a party of rebels
made a new demonstration, and Gen.
Grant, seeing two of his guns in dan
ger, collected few men and charged.
He says:
"a sepoy within five yards of me
fired at my horse and put bullet
through his body 1t was singular he
did not aim at me, but probably he
thought it best to make sure of killing
the horse, after which the rider would
fall into his hands as matter of
course.
Il felt that my poor charger had re-
ceived his death-wound, yet he gal
loped on for forty yards through the
throng of rebels and then dropped. |
was in an awkward predicament-un
horsed, surrounded by the enemy, and,
owing to the darkness, ignorant in
which direction to proceed-when my
orderly, a native horseman, Roper
Kahn by name, rode up to me and said:
Take my horse; it is your only chance
of safety
Il could not but admire his fine con-
duet. He was a Hindostanee Mussul-
man, belonging to a regiment the
greater part of which had mutinied,
and it would have been easy for him to
kill me and go over to the enemy.
Il refused his offer, but, taking a
firm grasp of his horses tail, l told him
to drag me out of the crowd. This he
did successfully and with great cour-
age.
THE next morning called him to
my tent, praised him for his gallant
behavior and offered him some little
money. He declined it with great dig
nifty.
No, sahib, will take no money!
he said, drawing himself up; but if you
will get my commanding officer to pro-
mote me Ishall be very grateful
He was duly promoted, and received
also the second-class order of merit"

AWNLESS BRONZE GRASS.
Reports Generally Favorable to Its More
Extended Cultivation.

This hardy perennial (bromus in
ermis) is related to the rescue grass,
but endures summer heat and drought
much better and will grow on harder
and poorer soil. 1t has strong, creep
ing root stocks, and is conspicuous for
its free, leafy growth and tall stems,
which bear an abundance of seed. The
official agrostologist F. L. Scribner,
recommends it for light soils, especial
~ in regions subject to extremes of
temperature or long periods of
Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1895-01-29

drought, where the finer grasses do not
thrive. 1t has creeping roots like
couch grass, and serves well to hold
the banks of bitches and to strengthen
turf of sandy soil. 1t has been favor
ably reported on by the Mississippi
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Louisiana and Wyoming stations.
Awnless bronze grass (also kno wn as
smooth or Hungarian brome) remains
green in winter in the south, where it
is esteemed for grazing. 1t grows we'll
in cold climates, and Canadian reports
speak very highly of this newly intro
duced grass both for its nutritive quail
tiles and luxuriant habit of growth.
1t should however, be introduced very
cautiously, as it makes long, strong
underground root stocks, which are
difficult to eradicate. 60

LONDCN'S MUTTON.
Norway Preparing to Supply the Great
Metropolis with Meat.

Metropolis with Meat.
London will shortly have the advan-
tage of another meat supply-this
time from Norway-which is perfecting
arrangements for supplying the Eng
fish metropolis with as much mutton,
alive and dead, as it can spare for ex-
portation. Systematic experiments
were made recently, says the London
Telegraph, under the supervision of
the Stavanger Agricultural society,
and the results were so satisfactory
that in the approaching cold season it
is to be repeated on larger scale. 1t
appears that eighty sheep, each weigh
ing about 100 pounds, were fattened
for week or so until they turned the
scale at from lis pounds to 1913 pounds
They were then shipped to London,
where they realized an average price,
after deducting commission, of 30s Cd,
and as the total outlay had been only
26s Cd per head there was a net profit
of IS Sd on each animal. Forty We're
also sent over, with the skins, hoofs
and interiors intact, but on these there
was an average loss of los per head,
partly explained by the skins being
damaged through bad packing. New
ertheless the Stavanger society have
come to the conclusion that the bust
ness promises to be remunerative, and
the English people have thus an addi-
tional guarantee of an adequate supply
of mutton.

The Last of tho Wyatt Gang Caught After
Desperate Resistance.
WICHITA, Kas., August 5.-Dick
Yeager, slias Zip Wyatt, the most dar-
ing desperate in the Indian Territory,
has been captured near Sheridan, Okla
homa Territory. The last sensational
crime OF Wyatt's gang was the robbing
OF the Rock Island train near Dover, the
shooting Of Messenger Jones and the
looting Of the passenger coaches.
After that robbery the authorities be-
gsn merciless pursuit OF the gang.
Three OF Wyatt's pals. Tulsa Jack, Bill
Doolan,snd Ike Black were killed and a
dozen OF the gang captured. Wyatt, the
only one left, was on his way from the
Glass Mountains when the officers en-
gagged him yesterday. They ran him
across the Rock Island track, near Wau-
koroie, into cornfield which thew sur
rounded.
The officers played waiting game.
Thirst finally made Wyatt desperate,
and he came boldly out from his cover.
He emptied his Winchester at the
posse. which was headed by Marshal
Smith. Of South Enid. The FIRE was re-
turned, Smiths men aiming to cripple
Yeagsr, and soon his left arm fell by
his side, 80 that he could not use his
gun. The outlaw then drew his pistols
and advanced step by step toward the
man who had been hunting him.
They backed slowly away, just enough
to keep out of range of his pistols, and
at the same time keeping near enough
to use their rifles. Wyatt soon fell with
q bullet In his hip, but he continued to
drag himself toward the officers. shoot
Ing as he crawled. Another bullet in
the shoulder finally disabled him, and
the posse gathered in on him and over
powered him.
Wyatt was taken to the Kingdsher
JAY. where surgeons were brought in to
dress his wounds. They say he will
live. Last night the crippled outlaw
was taken TO the Garfield county jsil
This breaks up the last gang OF bandits
In tOklahoma. One of Wyatt's recent
crimes was the killing of Baptist
minister, who protested when Wyatt
made him give up horse which he was
riding.
