The crathie's Captain Explains.

ROTTERDAM, Feb. l-Captain Gordon,
of the British steamship Crathie, which is
generally admitted to have been the vessel
which ran into and sank the Elbe, has made
81 statement to the Lloyds agent here. in
which he says that he was knocked down
by the force OF the collision and that when
he regained his feet the two ships were some
distance apart and the Crathie was so dam
aged that he expected her to sink at any
moment. In spite of this Captain Gordon
added, he followed the other steamer. but
found that she went faster than the crathie
and so he thought the vessel she had coll
lded with was safe.

doubt that "B.s NJ. Brunson and Ida Brun-
steerage passengers, are the young military
captain and wife who started for Berlin in
December last to present their claim to a
$780, coo share in the estate of Baron Won
Barnekow. All the circumstances of time
and travel and the knowledge Of the young
couples intentions in the event of failure
prove their identity. The story of Mrs.
Brunson's short life is a romantic one.
Twenty years ago Baron Won Barnekow,
the heir to an immense estate in Germany
by virtue of being the Oldest son in the
family, came to California. In San Fran
cisco he met and married Miss Green, who
is still residing there. For some years the
noDlenan and his American wife lived to-
gether, and Ida Barnekow and a twin sis
ter were born. Ida, who alone survived,
is the girl who subsequently adopted the
name or Green when her mother resumed
Baron was not a happy one. Ida was placed
in the Convent of the Sacred Heart, San
francesca, and there and at Miss Lakes
private school she was educated at her
fathers expense. Baron Won Barnekow re-
turned to Germany to claim his estate at
the death of his father, and there he died
port of his wife or daughter, though he
had been exceedingly attached to the little
girl. He had lived with his wife up to the
time OF his departure and it was his inten-
ton to return to California. Litigation over
the estate followed the Baron's DEATH, and
IL was In hope of ending the case favorably
that the young couple started for Germany,
less than two months ago. with little money
to push their claim. 1t is evident from the
fact of the sudden return that either the
case was compromised with the opposing

steerage tell plainly of failure.

The Lesson.

The Hutchinson News has sensible
article on the lesson to be learned by the
late county elections in Kansas. We
make an excerpt. 1t says everywhere
that Republicans stood together, the
victory was as glorious as it was over
whelning.
The lesson to be drawn is as clear as
bright Kansas day. The contentious
Of this year must not be carried into
next. The fight must be for Republi.
canism aud not for certain candidates
or ismS. As Ingalls, said, 1--WE want re-
cruits. not Victims" We need votes
more Than We need revenge. If Repub-
Hcans have wandered from the straight
and narrow way, let US take them by the
hand and lead them back to the tents of
the righteous. They can't be bulldozed,
driven or frightened. But their reason
and conscience can be appealed to and
they can be won to tho old allegiance,
Lay aside personal prejudice, forget
differences of opinion and the battle is
won for 1896. That is the lesson. and it
must not be forgotten.

bent. But often their lurking, sneak
ing movements were to be avoided or
provided against, for they were sneak
ing, treacherous and thieving when
ever an opportunity afforded. Many
personal encounters are mentioned
by those who detected lone Indian
trying to purloin horse or saddle;
for the Indian was a horse thief bv
instinct and habit. The Indian was
as fond of horse stealing as he was of
scalping; but lie must have possessed
some civilized traits of character, es-
pecially in his alteration If red hair.
And this is no joke; and there are no
red heads among the Indian tribes.
What must have been the Indians
admiration of the white woman with
beautiful auburn hair! And did he
have the same love for the blonde?
The Indian no doubt went into costa
cies of delight when he saw red
headed woman!

THURSDAY. NOV. IA. 1895.
THE COUNTY ELECTION.


The official returns published else
where can be studied from whatever
view may be desired as indicating the
causes of the results in the late coun
ty election. A combined opposition
vote has been regarded greater than
the entire Republican vote In the
county; and we have no means of
knowing what the result would have
been had the full vote been polled.
Nearly $50 more names were regis
tered than the number of votes polled
in Dodge City; and falling off was
observed in the country precincts. In
Dodge City the greater number of the
non voters were Republicans.
The vote of no elected Republican
forms the basis for correct estimate
of the Republican strength, for near
ly all the candidates ran on their re-
spective merits; but the opposition
conferred their force on the election of
sheriff and clerk. This was q par
ticular hardship to Mr.. Tarbox and
Mr.. Leidigh, for they bore the brunt
of the battle. These two Offices and
that of commissioner were the objects
sought from political and partisan
standpoint-for revenue and for polit
ical prestige.
OF course it is always evident after
an election what causes contributed
to defeat, and what means could have
been used to ward off defeat; but the
victory is SO nearly complete under
the adverse circumstances that we do
not regard it essential to future good
for an enumeration of causes at this
time. The victory is a grand one at
any rate; as much as we deplore the
defeat of Mr.. Tarbox. A half dozen
of the 60 Republicans in Dodge City
who voted for Mr.. Bell placed to Mr..
Tarbox's credit, would have made the
victory complete and overwhelming.
The Republicans are in good con-
dition for next years canvass, and
they will profit by the experience of
this year. The combined forces of |
the Democrats and Populists will be
met next year with a complete and |
glorious victory.
The late campaign was conducted
and vigorously; and no one
was more untiring and indefatigable
in his efforts than Chairman Henkel.

SCRAPS OF EARLY HISTORY,
BY THE EDITOR.

would fill large volume. We were
conversing with o. A. Bond, among
old settlers better known as "Brick'
Bond, who came to this part of the
country in 1871; and engaged in buff
falo hunting and freighting for eight
years or more before settling down to
business in Dodge City. Mr.. Bond
hunted buffalo for the hides and also
dried the meat, which was picked
the same as "corn beef" Watts were
made and the buffalo hides were thus
cured. The hides and meat were
shipped to Dodge City and transport
ed East. Mr.. Bond says he has trav-
eled two and three days at a time
with thousands of bufaloes in sight,
and within gun range. When ap-
preached the buffaloes would break
ranks and scamper wildly away. He
freighted to Mobeetie, Texas, and
other points SOUTH. carrying goods
for Indian traders and dealers in
supplies for buffalo hunters. During
his early freighting runs there were
scarcely any trails running south.
The Dolby Walls fight" was Oft
en- spoken of for years after it's occur
renee, for some Dodge people were
engaged in it. It was a hard fought
battle, and the disparity in numbers
engaged in it, makes it a most remark
able fight. The Indians lost heavily,
the loss being greater than the whites
in proportion to the number engaged.
The Dolby" fight is a part Of the
annals of Dodge City.
Adobe Walls was a trading point
in Texas, on the Canadian river, $50
miles nearly due south of Dodge City.
At this station was a stockade and
some firearms, as guard against In
dian invasion. The stockade was
built of cottonwood poles set upright
and the store houses of sod. An old
Mexican DOLBY stood not far off, and
its crumbled and ancient character
suggested the name of the station
Adobe Walls.
Some we'll known citizens of Dodge
City were engaged in trading at the
Adobe Walls. There were Charles
Rath & Co., Or. NJ. Wright being the
company James Langton, A. G. My
ers and Fred Leonard. Mr.. Rath
was the Indian trader, and the others
dealt in supplies for buffalo hunters.
Jim Hanrahan kept saloon. At
that time there were many buffalo
hunters in the county and their trade
amounted to considerable, at some
big prices for goods. A number of
men always congregated about Adobe
Walls, for it was remote station and
located near some bad Indians-the
Southern Cheyennes and Arapahoes.
The cause of the attack was owing to
the desire of the Indians to kill of
The buffalo hunters, whom they re-
garded as trespassing on their rights. /
The inhabitants in the stockade had .
been cautioned against the treachery
Of the Indians, and were advised to
make ample protection against an at
tack. They were instructed to barri
cade the openings to the stockade.
