who has proved herself to be heroine
and who may yet have to yield UP her
life as the result of her brave effort In
saving the life of her little sister May,
aged 3. The two children live with their
parents at 343 East Forty-seventh
street. They left their home on an err
rand for their mother and We're walking
toward Third avenue when they heard
the clang of the fire engine gongs. They
were crossing the street at the time and
the younger child, May, in her anxiety
to get away from possible danger sprang
toward the curb. AS she did so she
slipped on banana peel and fell. Just
then the horse and wagon of Fire Chief
Walsh turned the corner. Eleven-year-
old Minnie, seeing her little sisters dan
ger, stopped down and dragged the child
from under the horses hoofs. On of the
hoofs struck her on the forehead knock
ing her to the pavement, and an instant
later two wheels passed over her frail
body Several hours later she regained
consciousness in Flower hospital, with

blessed influence, stealing in, as it We're,
unawares upon the heart; it comes quietly
and without excitement, it has no terror,
no gloom in its approaches it does not
rouse up the passions: it is untrammeled
by the creeds, and unshadowed by The su-

pervades and quickens it; it is written on

mountain top pierces the thin atmosphere
OF eternal winter or where the mighty for

its dark waves of green foliage; it is spread
out like leglble language, upon the broad
face of the unsleeping ocean: it is the
poetry of Nature; it is this which uplifts
the spirit within us, until it is strong

-Hole-in-t the Wall is situated in
Johnson county, Wyoming, about four
teen miles from the north line Of Natona
county, Wyoming. 1t is about thirty
miles from north to south and twenty
from east to west. 1t is surrounded by
the Big Horn mountains on the north
and west and on the south is a high wall
Of rocks varying from 100 to 300
feet in height. There are only two ways
to set into the Hole-in-the- Wall
through two passes. It's as fine hiding
place for outlaws as can be found, and
it's in the possession of one of the worst
bands of thieves that ever struck the
United States. After they drive stolen
cattle into the Hole-in-t the Wall there
is no way for the cattle to get out unless
they find one Of the two passes, and so
if we don't go in after our stolen stock
it stays there.
The grass is fine in the Hole-in-the-
Wall and stock keeps fat there all the
winter. The Hole is Watered by North
Powder river. Red Fork river Buffalo
creek and several other smaller streams.
1t is II very rough country. and no man
who isn't well acquainted with it ought
to venture in, for hen never find his way
out.
In the middle of the Hole is the out
laws ranch, where Il band of thirty of
the biggest thieves unhung live the year
round at the expense of the neighboring
cattle owners. Their home is built Of
pine logs about sixteen feet square. with
port holes to shoot from, and a rifle pit
in front'of it, with ditch leading from
the house to the rifle pit. They keep a
man on the watch all the time
Their plan Of operation is to drive off
COWS and cattle inside of the Hole-in-
the Wall, separate them and then drive
the COWS out ard brand the calves with
a new brand. The cows soon leave aud
three or four weeks later the outlaws
drive the calves out and sell them 10

THE ROWING SITUATION
Cornell's Plans in Case of Failure to
Agree With Yale and Harvard

Ithaca, N. Y.--Prof Wheeler of Cor
nell answers all questions as to the
Albany rowing conference by saying
that he knows nothing more than he has
already given to the press. Capt. Col
son still maintains silence, giving as Il
reason his pledge made to the other
parties to the conference. A gentleman
influential in Cornell navy affairs said
tonight:
while l am not acquainted with the
full details of the Albany conference,
you can state that it was practically an
exchange of views by all parties. Our
representative went there to state Cor
nell's position. which has already been
made known in the press, and to learn
the disposition of the other universities
and what they had to offer. He received
no positive assurance that Yale would
accede to Cornell's demand for a five
year engagement; in fact, was rather dis
couraged in the idea. There is no great
reason for secrecy in the matter, as the
public already knows the policy of each
university, with the possible exception
of Harvard. which is not in a position
to take a positive position as yet, but it
is well known that she is favorable to
Cornell.
THE three captains will now report
the result of the talk, and 1t then re-
mains for the older heads of the three
colleges to get together and decide the
race question one way or the other. I
think this will be done next week, for
if Cornell is not admitted to the Yale
Harvard race she will either consider
the advisability of again going to Hen
ley. or, if this is not feasible, will plan
q grand regatta on the Hudson, in which
Columbia, Pennsylvania and every other
university in the country maintains q
crew will be invited to participate.
Il am quite confident, however, that
Yale's counselors, who have so wisely
guided the policy of the blue in the last
two years, will advise that Cornell's re-
quest be granted This being so, it not
only means boat race between Yale
and Cornell, but resumption of base
ball and football games, which in the
last five years have been broken off be-
cause of the differences which have ex-
listed over the declination of Yale to meet
Cornell on the water.
'It can be stated authoritatively that
no matter what arrangements Cornell
makes with Harvard and Yale, Penn
sylvania and Columbia will be given the
opportunity of rowing Cornell any year
they put crews on the water"-New
York Times.

the stolen cattle and finding that all our

tenting themselves with setting ambus-
cades for us in various places, which we
wouldn't be caught in. Since then we
