James J.. Peate, Of Beverly, Kan,
Henry II. Tucker, Minneapolis, Kan,
aud Chalmers Smith, living near
Beverly, Kan, we're IN GOOdland on
Thursday on their way to visit the
scenes Of the Arickaree Indian fight
They we're participants in the affair.
Mr. Pete was the man who recruited
the civilian scouts on the Saline river,
and Col. FOrsythe was IN command, and
Lieut.. Beeeber, who was killed, was the
second in command They were at
tackled by Roman Nose, Of the dog sol
diers, or Cheyennes, and there we're
some Sioux and Arrapaboes in the
fight. There were five of the scouts
killed and 81 wounded and il is estima-
ted that 200 or 80 Indians were killed.
They were engaged three days, and
we're beseiged nine days. They we're
relieved by a company Of the 10th Cav.
(colored) under Capt. Carpenter. and
soon after by Col. Bankhesd Of the 10th
Cav. from Wallace, Kan. The scouts
that got through to Wallace we're, first
John StiIweH and Pete Trudell, and
the second, Jack DonaYan and Allison
Pliley. TIE REPUBLIC was pleased to
meet these gentlemen and get these
historic facts. These stirring scenes
occurred the 18th Of September 1859.
Lieut.. Beecher who was killed was the
nephew Of Henry Ward Beecher.
There were 81 men, including officers
of the scouts. The bill Of fare was
prickly pears and mule meat. 1t is es-
timated that they we're beset by about
800 Indians. The locality of this re-
markable conflict is about 60 miles
northwest of the Colorado line. Col
Forsythe is now on the retired list and
lives in Washington d. g.

The Osborne Farmer calls attention
to the fact that in 1878 the Hermann
family left Liebenthal, Russia, and
settled in Rush county. That year
they put out ten acres Of wheat and
five Of rye; not very much it is true
but it was all they could do. Each
year they have increased the acreage
Of wheat, and this year they have IN
1000 acres from which they expect to
harvest $1,000 bushels. The story Of
their success in Kansas would sound
like a fairy tale to their Flooding
friends they left behind in the cars
dominion. And yet the HermanDs
with their $4,000 bushels Of wheat do
not know what to do other than buy
more land on which to put out more
wheat

The Big Storm .

Early Friday morning Of last week,
September 9th, a cold mist from the
northeast began falling and toward eve
ming it developed into a cold storm.
On Saturday morning there was q
couple of inches of wet snow and the
whole landscape assumed a wintry
aspect. Rain fell all day Saturday
and the snow gradually disappeared.
Sunday morning the ground was again
white, and a steady rain fell all day
keeping the people from attending the
church services, and everybody kept
close in doors, water stood in the
streets and mud was everywhere in ev-
idence.
Monday morning the temperature
was milder, but it was still cloudy and
threatening rain, and rain began fall
ing again about 10 o'clock a. N. and
continued to about noon when there
was an appearance of clearing up. If
this storm had been a couple Of weeks
later it would have been called an
equinoxial storm. September 10th
is the earliest that snow has ever been
known to fall iu this locality, so that
this storm was a record-breaker. The
ground is now in fine shape for put
ting in winter grain and for fall plOw-
ing. Threshing has, of course, been
delayed for a time, but prairie fires
have been prevented and any one that
now neglects to pillow fire guards viii
