ARMY COURIER ON WHEELS.
Private Anderson Leaves Fort walla
WaIla For Vancouver.

Walla For Vancouver.
PENDLEToN, Aug. 22.-The war de.
partment is making number of tests
of bicycles as a means for the carrying
of military dispatches from station to
station. These tests have been made
mostly in the eastern states. and have
proven that tt wheel may be utilized
by the military during times of emer-
gency between points far from railway
stations. Today there left Fort
Walla Walla, Private F. L, Anderson,
of the Fourth cavalry, U. s. A riding
21-pound bicycle, and bound for Van
couver. He bears dispatches from
Colonel Compton, commander at the
Walla Walla fort. to General Otis, in
command of the department of the
Columbia, with instructions to deliver
them at the earliest possible moment,
making the entire distance on his
wheel.
His equipment consists of forty-one
pounds OF "impedimenta," including a
carbine, two pistols, fifty rounds of
ammunition, two blankets, silk tent
and three days rations. He is sup
posed to make the entire trip with the
supplies he carries away from the fort.
Private Anderson is a well-built
young fellow of medium height. and
weighs 145 pounds. When on his
wheel, with all his equipment, the
total weight is 227 pounds.
His route is laid out in. his instruc-
tions for the entire way. He was in
structed to proceed by wheel to PEN
dleton, then to Echo, where he is to
leave the railroad and go across the
country to Cello. Thence the route
takes him to the John Day river
country into The Dalles, from where
he takes the old road from Portland to
Vancouver.
Private Anderson is the post libra
rian, and has no marvellous records in
bicycle riding. He is representative
of the good average wheelmen, with
perhaps little more than the ordinary
amount of endurance. He started on
his long journey with confidence that
within seventy-two hours of the time
of leaving he would ride up to General
Otis headquarters, seek that officers
office, salute and deliver the sealed
packet which has been placed in his
hands by the commandant of the fort
at Walla Walla.

Walters obtained the title of wild
Bill'' from being wild and reckless
fellow. drinking and making gun plays,
and getting into all kinds of scraps
and lights, both with white men and
Indians. He was great horseman,
riding all kinds of animals without the
slightest fear. He generally went
heavily armed, and for these reasons
was given the appropriate name OF
"Wild Bill"

SETTLING A CHILEAN CLAIM.
At Bolivian Cabinet Meeting 1t Meets
With Disfavor.


NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The Heralds
correspondent. in Sucre, Bolivia, teIe-
graphs that meeting of the cabinet
was held to consider the treaty set
Ting the claim of Chile in regard to
the boundary question. Only the min
lister of foreign affairs, Senior Ichisal
voted for the treaty as proposed, the
other four ministers voting in the
negative and vigorously opposing the
measure. President Batista was silent
but after the meeting said:
81 do, as president, accept, approve
and will sustain the treaty. Twill also
take the responsibility of sending it to
congress for ratification"
1t is said that President Batista has
secured enough votes in the senate to
sustain his action, but he fears some of
the deputies are not to be trusted.

THE LATE INDIAN TROUBLES.
Department Of Justice to Decide What
Action Shall Be Taken.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2O.-The ques-
tion of what action should be taken by
the government in regard to the kill
ing of Bannock Indians in the Jackson
Hole country, July 13, has been re-
ferred to the department of justice.
1t is understood that communication
on the subject was forwarded there
today, which recites the circumstances
in the case, and ends with a strong
recommendation for an investigation
by the department. 1t is understood
that the encouragement will send
speciLl agents to Jackson Hole and
that the services of the Indian in
spectors will be offered as assistants.
Agent Tetor will probably not form
part of the commission, as he has taken
so prominent a part in the troubles
that the settlers are greatly prejudiced
against him. 1t is believed that the
arrest of certain settlers by the United
States authorities has been recon-
mended so that the case may be
brought into court, and that the rela-
tive weight of the treaty with the
Bannocks and the laws of Wyoming
may be judicially determined.

Tho Great Woir's Cunning.

There came under my observation an
incident that will illustrate Lobo as
an aggressor of diabolical cunning.
These wolves had at least ono pursuit,
and apparently not at all connected
with their appetite for food; It was
stampeding and killing sheep. The
sheep are usually kept In hocks Of from
1000 to 5000 under one or more shep.
herds. At night they are gathered In
the most sheltered place available, and
q herdsman sleeps on each side of the
dock to give additional protection.
Sheep are such senseless creatures that
they are liable to be stampeded at night
by the veriest trifie, but they have deep.
~ ingrained In their nature one strong
weakness-to follow their lead. And
this the shepherds turn to good account
by putting half a dozen goats In the
flock of sheep. The latter recognize
the superior intelligence of their beard.

occurs they crowd around them and

pede. But 1t was not always So Ono
night two Perico shepherds were
alarmed by nm onset Of wolves. Their
focks huddled around the goats, which,
being neither fools nor towards. stood
their ground and were bravely defiant;
but alas for them, no common wolf
was heading this invasion. Lobo, the
weir-wolf, knew as well as the shep-
herds that the goats were the moral
force of the flock, SO, hastily running
over the backs of the densely packed
sheep, he fell upon these leaders, slew
them all In few minutes, and soon
had the luckless sheep stampeding IN
thousand different directions.
