As IN indian Fighter
THE RUSE ADOPTED IN A SCRIM-
MAGE WITH APACHES.
Authenticated Story of the Father Of
Honolulu Man--Used a Dog as a
Messenger-Unique Way.

While in search of more information
surrounding his fathers tragic death
in the hands of small army of Chin
csc contract laborers, superintendent
George Otterson, of the Government
wash houses, learned of an incident
in his parents life which is exceed
ingly interesting.
The news of Mr.. Otterson's good for
tune in falling heir to a share in
large estate in Ireland was given out
some time ago. Mr.. Otterson must es-
tablish his own identity and prove the
death of his father, Andrew Otterson,
before he can lay claim to the prop
erty. An old friend of the elder OF
terson who served with him in the
civil war, writes the following in a
recent letter concerning an adventure
in the days of the wild Indians:
During his services in the United
States army your father, Andrew Of
terson, commanded a body of troops
in a campaign against the Apache In
dams in Arizona. He had dog, yell
low cur, named Kobe, which was
great favorite with him. At one time
your father, then captain, was en-
tirely surrounded by Indians who out
numbered the soldiers in his com
mand ten to one. The situation was
serious and unless reinforcements
could be obtained from the fort, some
miles distant, Capt. Otterson's entire
command would inevitably be de
stroyed
Two attempts were made to get
messengers through the hostile line,
but both were killed while making
the effort. Capt. Otterson then pre-
pared a message to the commandant
at the Fort, telling the desperate sit
uation of his little troop of soldiers.
Sealing the message he called to his
dog and tied the despatch around thu
dogs neck and had one of his men
fasten an empty can to the tail of his
pet.
"Then all hands were mustered to
give Kobe a mighty sepdoff. The ruse
was in every way successful, the dog
ran past the hostiles to the fort as
fast as ever his legs would carry him
The dispatch was taken from his neck
by soldier at the barracks and quick.
ly carried to the post commandant,
who hurried troops to the relief of the
imperiled soldiers who had as vet lost
but few men The enemy, after re
Inducements had reached the field OF
action, were completely annihilated
Great praise was given Capt. Otterson
for his undaunted bravery and ingenu-
ity displayed in this most grave emer-
gency."

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA.
At this time of the year cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run its course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of-no better remedy to cure
cough or cold than Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively and it has always given
satisfaction.-Olagah, Ind. Ter. Chief.
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive of
pneumonia. Among the many thou
sands who have used it for cold and
la grippe, we have never yet learned
OF a single case having resulted in
pneumonia. Persons who have weak
lungs or who have reason to fear an
attack of pneumonia, should keep the
remedy at hand. For sale by all drug
gusts and dealers. Benson, Smith &

STEADILY, but surely, many ot tae southern and western Democratic leaders are getting to the pofnt on tariff where the editor of this paper has always stood-iactdeat0l protec- tioa. Up to few years ago we were frequently spoken of as Repub- lican, because we never favored free trade, nor a mock tariff for revenue only. Time is great corrector, and the views we have ever enter tained expecting this feature of political economy are fast being conceded as just and imperatively necessary Commercial.
 Sometime ago, during the early summer, if we remember correctly, the editor of the Commercial was de- nying that he had ever been pro- tectionist, but now we have his own confession in the above.
 But what we want to inquire about is, who are the Southern and Western Democratic leaders now advocating protection? Since the death of the lamented Randall there has not been a Democratic statesman of any prominence throughout the country that has advocated protection, incidental or direct The great Democratic vic tory of 1892 was won along lines of tariff reform, and the Democratic platform of 1896 pledged further reductions in the tariff after the settlement of the money question. Indeed, there has been no abatement in zeal among Democrats for tariff levied for revenue only, and the Democratic party IS as earnest in

NEGRO RIOT.
OOLORED TOUGHs PULL GUNS AND
THROW ROCKS.
Exciting Experience of a Street Railway
Train Grew on San Pedro Avenue
Saturday Night.

About 80 o'clock Sunday morn.
ing a negro riot took place on San
Pedro avenue on three street cars
loaded with colored people who
had been out to a dance at San
Pedro park at which a lot of free
beer was set up in the interest OF
a candidate.
The street car men had collected
nearly all the ten-cent fares on the
two rear cars, but the front car, on
which were a great many negro
tOughs and hard men, soon be-
came theIscene of the trouble. One
man fatty refused to pay any fare
and this was the signal for all to
refuse. The cars were stopped
and the train crew tried to enforce
payment OF fare. The negroes all
pulled their pistols and cursed the
street car men horribly, while the
women began screaming.
The train crew then pulled the
motor key full open and made a
run down to the fire engine house,
at the corner of Romano street,
amid a perfect fusilade OF stones
thrown by the negroes.
While the street car men were
inside the engine house telephon-
ing for the mounted police the
negroes played tune on the street
car bell registers, ringing up seve.
raj hundred fares. Then, after
learning that the police were being
summoned, the tough passengers
leisurely walked away, scattering
In every direction. The mounted
officer in this district was not on
duty Saturday night and no
mounted officer was sent from po-
lice headquarters. After wait of
80 minutes for the officers, the
street cars were pulled down to the
Office on Houston street, where
Officer Bader was the first officer
found. He arrested one man
whom a motorman designated as
the man who would not first pay
his fare. The recorder fined the
man So this morning.
A carload of belated celored
people who could not catch this
car had to walk to the city as the
street cars were run into the sheds.
The car men would not take the
risk OF another rocking, without
being able to get police to go
along.
