A Thrilling Incident of the Recent
Fight on the IndO-Af-
CHAN Frontier.

AT recent fight in the Khyber pass,
in Afghanistan, Col. Plowden's COM
mand formed part of Gen. Hamilton's
rear guard, and had to cross a bit OF
exposed ground swept by the tribes
mems fire.
Here three men were struck by bull
let's; two of them could walk, but
the third was disabled. No surgeon
was present, and Col. Plowden him
self dressed the mems wounds.
After this the men had to retire
across the exposed ground, and Corp.
Bell was killed. COL Plowden, Lieut..
Owen and Lieut.. Felden carried the
dead man up hill, and by and by the
command had to cross another ex-
posed spot. Somebody was sure to be
hit now; 1t happened to be Private
Butler, and the ball struck him in the
leg, SO that he could not walk. Capt.
Parr dressed his wound and Lieut.. Car
ter took the wounded man on his back
and carried him.
But, alas. midway of the exposed
ground, poor Butler, as he lay on the
heutenant's back, was struck again,
and the force of the ball knocked the
heavily-laden young officer down. He
got up and once more shouldered his
burden, when Lieut. Fielden came to
bis aid, and together these officers car
ried Butler to a place of safety. Then
Il was found that he was dead as the
result of the second shot.
Meantime Col. Plowden and Lieut..
Owen were carrying Corp. Bells body
across the dangerous ground. and both
of them were wounded in doing so.
They struggled on in spite OF their
wounds and reached cover with their
sad burden.-Youth's Companion.

SAVED AN AMERICAN ARMY.
The Descendants of n New England
Heroine Meet Annually to Tes-
~ tify to Her Bravery.

The memory of a woman who pre-
vented the command of Gen. Sullivan
from being massacred by Indians in
1899 has just been honored by a cele-
bration in the town of Colesville. near
Binghamton, N. ", by her descendants.
On the farm of Thomas Taylor, in the
town of Colesville, stands a tumble
down log cabin. The cabin originally
was the property of Zedekiah Hamlin
who, with his family, came to this
section from Connecticut before the
breaking out OF the revolution. The
valley was meeting place for the III
dians, and, while the tribes were NIL
friendly, Mr.. Hamlin. with an eye to
the necessity for possible future de-
Tense, built his house like miniature
forr. One daughter, Dorothy, was
known far and wide among the red
inhabitants Of the valley as 'Wachita,"
the song bird. if a papoose was i'll
she would visit the lodge, sometimes
travelling miles on foot or horseback
to administer simple remedies and
Groom it TO sleep. Thus she gained the
good will of the red men and was safe
at any time Of the day or night in the
depths Of the forest.
This was the state of things when,
III 1879, the news was flashed among
the tribes in this section that Gen.
sullivan, with troops, was coming
down the valley to avenge the Cherry
valley massacre, and, though the In
clans in this vicinity had no hand in
1t, all would be slain. Night saw the
hills in and around Binghamton red
with signal fires summoning tribes
from all quarters to a conference at
the junction of the. two rivers. Miss
Hamlin had a brother in Sullivan's
army, and this was known to squaw
whose baby the girl had saved by care
lul nursing. At dusk the second day
after the big talk" the squaw crept
70 the threshold Of the Hamlin cabin
and whispered to Miss Dorothy that If
sne wished to save her brother she
should warn the white soldiers to
evold the main road at spot between
ms city and Union, as large body
81 Indians was in ambush there. In
order to find him Miss Dorothy must
80 alone. The brave girl did not hest
'ate for moment, but, hastily pre-
pairing, she started out with only the
hsars for a guide. Her travels through
.ne country and contact with the In
ulans had given her an insight into
MOOD lore that now proved valuable

THEY DON'T LIKE IT
co. M OF RIVERSIDE WANTS ITS
soWN OFFICERS
A Rumor That They Would Be
Changed Under Volunteer
Enlistment

RIVERSIDE, April 29.-There is quiet
rumor going the rounds to the effect that
the members OF Company M of this city
strenuously oppose the proposition OF hav-
ing their officers changed in case they vol
unteer for the war. Some of the members,
and their number is several, are said to
have been heard to say that they would
not volunteer If such a move was attempt
ed. If asked about the rumor, the boys
deny it, but it is easily to be seen that there
is a feeling in the company on the subject
which is likely to develop considerable
strength. If permitted to go to the front
with their own company officers, who,
they say, are competent, then there will
not be a dissenting voice In the company
when the command, "Forward!' is given
1t is stated here that the officers of Com
pany M received word from headquarters
today to disband the company and to pro-
ceed to re-enlist the men as volunteers of
the United States. The story is denied by
the officers. The latter have, however
sent in applications for commissions in the
regular service, and this move, it is
thought, will do away with any friction
which might arise in the company concern
ing the retention of its officers.

in appropriations for the use of the war
department for the remaining two months
of the present fiscal year aggregating

April % and 26, 1898, authorizing the en-
rollment of a volunteer army and placing

cessitate this increase for the organization.

The several items in the deficiency approA
priation asked for are as follows, cents

Signal service of the army, s21 900; pay,
etc, of the army (volunteers), $5.766, Gel;
pay, ETC., of the army (regulars)' 81, ,425, ,253;

REGULARS VS.. MILITIA
The Pay May Cut Figure With the
Anaheim Volunteers

SANTA ANA, April 29.-The proposition
| to muster the National guard into the reg
ular army service and then, perhaps, as
sign the members to some remote point
on the California coast, is received with
some dissatisfaction among the militia
men here. They claim that it is clearly an
injustice to enlist them in the regular
army, as proposed, for the simple purpose
OF putting them on regular army pay, es-
pecially as 1t seems to be the intention to
| recruit the National guard and to pay the
raw men ~ per day, if called into state
service. In short, II the men are not sent
to the front, they are reluctant to accept
service at S13 per month.
