with deadly weapon.
For a time the township constables kept
a lookout for Raines, but he had gone to
the springs and could not be heard from at
his old haunts. Raines was not unmind-
full, however, that a very serious accusa-
ton awaited him when he should return
and to return was unavoidable. He worked
his pull with his friends and they at last
made the complaining witness, Mr.. Jordan
see that "a prosecution of said Raines
would be unwarranted and fruitless in it's
results" Those are the words that Mr.
Jordan used in asking that the complaint
be dismissed, and he added that "he was
satisfied that in filing it he had acted with
out full knowledge of the facts and subsc-
quent developments.
When Mr.. Raines was convinced that Mr..
Jordan was convinced, he graciously came
and gave himself up yesterday to Deputy
Constable Dave Martin, and Justice of
the Peace Young dismissed the case upon
the payment of costs on motion of District
Attorney Donnell.

last oue. When he made this fight
war was really over, but he did not
know II, neither did the men he was
fighting against So the result Is the
same regarding this battle as II the
protocol had not been signed. This
battle was like the famous one at
New Orleans, when Andrew Jackson
whipped the Englishmen. This was
fought after the treaty OF peace had
been signed, but as there were no tel
egraph lines 10 those days and as New
Orleans was then farther out Of the
world than Manila Is now, The battle
was fought and won by men who knew
nothing OF the peace treaty, In
neither Of these post belluih battles

Colonel Roosevelt because he, 10 a
private letter to Secretary Alger,
Dragged about his troops as being the

tary Alger made this private letter

Roosevelt. at first there was some
hard feelings among the friends OF the

comparison between his men and the

shows that IL the gallant colonel had
not been willing and free TO claim
that his men were better than any
