VERY SMALL NUMBER WENT TO

Soldiers Now Take Their Feed With
Them, and There Will Be Fewer
Indian Scares In the Future.
Csnecia1 TO The HeraldN

Price, Utah, Nov. 3O.-Telephone mes
sages were received here tonight that
Lieutenant White. who, few days
ago, went over into Colorado with
troop c, to bring back the Indians who
were reported hunting game over the
line, had returned to the post. Lieu
tenant White found but few Indians
in Colorado. and these were on their
way back to the reservation with their
supply Of venison for the winter. The
Indians were surprised that they should
be wanted, and said they had left none
of their number behind.
When the cavalry went into Colorado
this time. the hay and grain for feed
ing the horses was. sent after them
from Fort Duchesne, and it is believed
that if this custom is kept up Indian
scares will be fewer in the years to
come. There is no doubt but many of
these REPORTS of Indian depredations
are gotten up by the ranchers of Colo
RADIO, in order to dispose of their sur
plus feed to the soldiers. The Indians
are now all back on the reservation.

 He at once raised an outcry m rag time, and Police Officer Thomas R. Finn of the California Street Station responded. Hogan pointed out Lansing and Sanborn in the dress circle. Finn called upon them to throw up their hands, and they complied. Then the offlcer searched the seats and the vlcin- 1ty, after having first satisfied himself that the diamond was not on the per- sons or the suspects. He then took the men to the California Street Station. where they were obliged to strip and submit to more rigorous search in the presence of Lieutenant Esola- Nothing but Sl 50 in silver coin and a few love letters were found on the men, and the police generously refrained from perus- ing the letters.

At the age of IS he graduated from the Gym nasium of Bensheim, where he received a thorough classical education, and in 1S47 came with his parents to the United States. Here young Castelhun took up the study of medicine and completed af terward his medical education at the Uni versailles of Wurzburg, Vienna, Prague and Berlin After his return to America he settled in St. Louis, Mo-, and became soon a prominent physician. In 1S75-76 he lived in San Francisco, but returned to St. Louis. In 1885 he came again to San Francisco and has ever since lived here
 Dr. Castelhun is one of the foremost German-American poets of the United States, and his poems appeared last year in their second edition. There is much of the grace, clearness and power of Schil- Ter and Goethe in his verses, and to read his splendid hexameterS means to admire them. Professor M. D. Learned, at the head of the department of GermaIic lan- guages In the University of Pennsylvania, recently wrote of the distichs of Dr. Cas- telhun: What makes them particularly

suit of the wrangling and an attempt of Groom to evade payment he was made to come to terms at a revolver's mug gle.
 It seems that the articles of agree ment provided that the two men should have 50 per cent of the gross gate receipts, but should be guaran- teed the sum of $4000. The receipts were said to figure only s4S00, and the two men demanded the $40OO instead of 50 per cent of this sum when they went into Groom's hat store in con- pany with Al Smith, Ryan's mana ger.
 A hot wrangle ensued, according to the tale told by George Harting, the clubs timekeeper at the fight, and one of the fighters grabbed up sackful Of silver, Whereupon Groom laid hold of a sack of gold coin and started for the door, but was forced to return at the revolver's point. It is further stated that the men were finally forced to take the 60 per cent
 Smith denies that revolvers were drawn, but admits that there was a good deal of trouble over the money question. He adds that Ryan is will ing to fight Green again under the aus pices of the Empire Club, but will never again let the National Club men have charge of a fight in which he engages.
 Groom admits also that there was a war of words, but asserts that the S4000 was only a paper agreement, and that 1t was understood by both men that 60 per cent of the gross gate receipts were to go in any case.
 "I heard there were some wild stories going round about Ryan and myself having trouble with Groom and Gibbs" I<<, rIN% truth in them. There was no attempt on Groom's part to leave the store with a bag of money, nor were there any pistols drawn.
 T simply went to the store to get what was due me as a participant in the fight and while there met Ryan. Groom stated to us that owing to the SmallneSS of the house he could not live up to his original agreement with out loss to himself and partner. He therefore offered us 50 per cent of S4S00 the amount realized We ob- 1ected to his going back on his con- tract and told him so Arguments were of no avail, however. and seeing we could do no better, we took the per centage, amounting to a little over $2S00, each taking S1400.
 l am a friend of both Groom and Gibbs, and dislike to talk about the matter, but as long as you are familiar With the details I do so. I think that they should have stood by their agree ment, even though they did not realize large sum. Had they done so they

Hogan's story is that, while he was waiting to go on the stage for the mat inee at. the California Theater yester- day he was visited in his dressing room by Sandy Sanborn, friend of his, and Tom Lansing, prize fighter from Ken lucky. There was present at the time a colored man named Thomas Trice, who sat on a trunk at the end of the room. Sanborn came with his friend for the purpose of hearing the Black Patti and his friend Hogan sing and went to Hogan's room, in order to get seats for the performance. Hogan went out to do his turn, and in the interim had some one show his visitors some
 unoccupied seats in the dress circle.
