aSo. She Is the youngest daughter Of the
late Rev. Richard Mitchell, d. D., prin-
cipal Of HertfOrd College, London, and
was a mere girl when she married Capt.
Arthur Kindersley Blair, who had charge
OF the Duke OF Sutherland's deer forests.
She was a woman of mature charms how
ever. when her husband was killed by the
accidental discharge of a gun in the hands
of his grace the Duke.
Now il was only natural that his grace
should take a kindly sympathetic interest
in the woman whom he had thus involun-
tarily widowed Perhaps il was feminine
human nature which prompted his grace's
lawful wife to resent the form in which
that interest expressed itself. At all
events she, with her children and grand
children, virtually abandoned Trenham,
the magnificent country seat of the family
in Staffordshire, the Duchess making her
headquarters at Stafford House in Lon
don. when her husband was not there, and
at TOrquay when he was And now what
sa natural as that Mrs. Blair should have
taken UP her residence at Trenham TO
cheer the solitude of his grace?
Despite the solace of her presence the
Duke Of Sutherland fell very IN in the

doctors bulletins announced that the

for twenty-four hours longer. The Duchess

INDIAN STYLE OF FIGHTING.
Individual Shooting at Leech Lake
According to OId-Time Methods.


The Indian method Of fighting, as shown
at Leech Lake is unique type of warfare
and as such is a subject of great interest
to foreign military men. The United States
regular soldier is an expert at il, and has
learned to fight the Indian as the Indian
fights him. Military attaches sent by for
eign governments 10 observe the Spanish
American war asked many questions from
Amercina officers on this topic, and con-
sidered the veteran Indian fighter. repre-
sented by such men as Gems. Chafee and
Kent, as one of the best types of soldiers.
Individual fighting is the Indian style. 1t
was so IN the days before the revolution
and a century has not changed it. The In
dian has adopted many innovations taught
him by the white man. He usually wears
store clothes" in these days and lives in
a house, even il Is only a log hut. But
he fights as his forefathers did, seeking to
gain an advantage over his foe by am
bush or some other form of strategy. The
Indian who can hide behind a rock or tree
and shoot down an unsuspecting foe who is
passing is considered much more Of a hero
than one who will fight in the open and
die bravely facing the enemy.
Indians on the waTpath are commanded
by chiefs, who are generally elected al a
council fire. These chiefs are usually the
heads of large families and command
squads of from twenty to 100 men, com
posed of their brothers, sons, cousins and
other relatives. One of the chiefs is known
as the Great Chief" and is usually given
this rank for proves in war or hunting.
He occupies something like the same re
lation to the forces under him that gen
eral or colonel has in the United States
army but his authority is much more re-
stricted and is exercised only in rare
cases.
The usual method in a fight, such as that
at Leech lake, is for the chief to advance
and his men 10 follow him. keeping near
enough to see his movements and acting
In conformity with them. When the foe
approaches within range general firing be-
gins, one of the chiefs usually setting the
example. When his men see him fire they

1t is seldom that an order Is given to an
Indian in battle. He follows his chief. pick
ing out individual foes and fighting them
individually. His scant commissary and
quartermaster's arrangements are attend
ed to by squaws.
The United States regular, when fighting
Indians, adopts their tactics only when
| the Indians are near. The skirmish forma-
ton Is then used and the men dodge be-
hind trees or rocks but they listen for and
quickly obey the orders Of their officers.
| If hard pressed they usually assemble and
| throw up hasty intrenchments, where they
| can pour a collective fire into any foe that
may attack them.

when the Duke. year or two later, re-
turned with his new Duchess on a visit to
his ancestral estates In a speech return
ing thanks for their spontaneous euthu-
siasm, his grace declared that he valued
such friendship more than oil the smiles
of royal favor.
The noble couple were not destined to
return to spend their declining years in
their New World paradise. On Sept. %,
1892 the Duke breathed his last at Tren-
ham, after a short illness. He was SO
years of age.
The property owned by the Duke was
valued at 100000 or, say 100000. 1t
acres in Ross-shire and Staffordshire,
Scotland, and nearly half a million of
acres in the United States. The bulk of
this property, in so far as 1t was not en-
tailed, he left to his widow. He also be-
queathed her the use of the family dia-
monds during her lifetime-the very dia-
monds which form a part of the stolen
jewelry.
The new Duke of Sutherland, stepson of
the powager Duchess, contested the will
on the ground that she had prejudiced her
late husbands mind against his children
in order TO gain possession of his prop
erty..
During the progress of the trial the
Duchess was arrested for burning an i'm
portant document which she had received
judicial permission to inspect. On April
is, 1885, she was condemned to six weeks
imprisonment in Holloway Jail for the
fragrant contempt of court
on June Z, 1894. the long drawn suit was
settled out of court by a compromise be-
tween the plaintiff and defendant. This
gave the Dowager Duchess $500. 900, besides
an annuity of $500. In consideration of
these amounts she renowned all title to
the residue of the estate in favor of the
Duke. who thus came into undisputed
possession of a fortune of fl50O,OOO.
