them, and Barison was knocked
down by spent bullet. The
white people then fed in confusion.
Miss Menefee ran to her lover and at
tempted to lift him up, hoping to be
able to carry him away on her should
ers. A giant savage knocked her down
and made both of the young people
prisoners. They captured and killed
many women and children, and after
burning several of the settlers homes
they rounded up bunch of horses
and started back toward the noun
tains.
Barison, who was not seriously
wounded, was dashed to the back of
pony and the animal was turned loose
with the herd and driven as if he had a
pack on his back. The Indians knew
him, and they frequently struck him
with their lances, and laughingly told
him of the fate in store for him at
the stake. After a march of several
days the warriors reached their village
on the Llano. Here the prisoners were
given a little food and tied to trees
near the camp. On the next evening,
while the warriors were holding a
council to determine the manner of
torturing the prisoners, lot of young
bucks galloped into the village. driving
a large buffalo bull. They had several
ropes on the animal, and Barison
learned from their talk that they had
struck herd of buffalo, and that after
killing all they wanted, they had roped
one in spirit of deviltry. The Indi-
dams had been puzzling their brains to
devise the most fiendish, inhuman,
possible torture for their captives, and
when old Lame Wolf saw the wild buff
falo he was suddenly struck by an idea
that pleased him immensely. He told
Barison that he would give him and
his white squaw a ride. They lost no
time in executing their designs. The
prisoners were unbound and led near
the buffalo. The horsemen had strung
the animal out between two trees by
the aid of rawhide ropes attached to
his legs and horns. Using stout strips
of rawhide, they securely bound Bari

around the animal, crashing their
teeth, and swapping at his legs. Bari
son struggled at the thongs that bound
him with all his strength, but a giant
could not have broken the rawhide.

bull and snapped at his nose. He

fastened their teeth in the bulls tanks,
while one old monster lobo had seized
the young girls dress, and was hang
ing by the bulls side. Countless packs
were bowling over the hills and swarm
ing across the prairies to join in the
pursuit It was evident to the captiyes
that the bull was growing weaker, and
they had about given themselves up
for lost when the young girls atten-
ton was attracted by a shadowy some

she joyfully exclaimed: Il believe

In pursuit of the Indians. The moon
was just rising above the horizon in
cloudless sky, and the Texans, who had
been listening to the bowling of the
wolves for some time, saw the buffalo
at about the same instant as the girl
espied the column OF horsemen. The
buffalo was nearly exhausted and bare
ly able to move in a slow lope, when
the Texans set out in pursuit of him.
The horsemen easily gallsped amongst
the pack of wolves, and then for the
first time they noticed that there was
something on the wild bulls back.
Both Barison and the girl shouted to
The Texans not to shoot. The horse
men were very much astounded, but
Capt. Menefee recognized the voice of
his daughter, and he at once reached
a correct conclusion. THE red devils,
he said, have tied their prisoners to
the back Of that buffalo" The Texans
galloped around the bull and easily
dropped a rope over his neck. They
soon strung the animal out on the
prairie and cut the captives loose. Bar

reached the vicinity OF Lame VOLTS
camp and charged in the village just
at daylight, firing right and left. Bari
son shot old Lame Wolf in the mouth
at the door of his tepee.
Miss Menefee rode in the column by

FEVER KILLS A CADET
A Fatal Case of Typhoid at the vir-
sinia Military Institute.

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct 19.-Cadet R. b.
Lemoine of Emmerton, Richmond county,
this State, died yesterday of typhoid fever.
He entered the Military Institute in 1897,
and was a second class man. He held the
Office of sergeant. He was very pleasing
in appearance, manners, and address, and
very popular with his associates.
During his illness he informed the nurse
that he came back here feeling badly and
that he frequently went to duties when he
was satisfied he had more or less fever
upon him, without reporting to the sur
geon the fact. Neither his father nor his
mother are alive. His uncle by marriage
and next friend, NJ. c. Hall, of Fredericks-
burg. was here and saw him before he
died.
Lemoine's remains will leave here to-
morrow morning and will be inferred at
Fredericksburg. Lemoine was a State ca
det, and his uncle, Mr. Hall, has filed ap-
plication for the appointment of Lemoine's
younger brother to fill the vacancy caused
by his death. From reports of the condi-
tion OF the eight young men in the hos
pital there is only one other dangerous
case so far.

NEW YORK Oct. 19.-Bridge Commits
sioner Shea has approved the plans for the
new Blackwells Island Bridge across the
East River. Work will probably be begun
within few weeks.
The new bridge will be much larger
than the one now stretching across the
East River to Brooklyn. 1t will be $50
feet wide. while the Brooklyn bridge is
only eighty, and will be able to accom-
modate twice as much travel From end

Ii will be built on the cantilever principle
On the bridge there will be two tracks
for elevated railroad trains, two roads for
trolley cars, walks for pedestrians, paths
for bicycle riders, and separate roadways
for heavy and light traffic TIIqqTf
The main pier of the bridge on the west
ern end will be lis feet high, and the piers
on Blaekwell's Island will be 1lS feet high
Neither entrance to the structure will have
very great grade. According to the pres
ent plans the entrance to the western end
is 10 be at Second Avenue and Sixtieth
Street The Long Island City end will be
at Rogers and Babbitt Streets.
According to estimates already made,
the bridge will cost s5,740,00O. 1t is be-

Applied in the Hawaiian Group
and I'm the Philippine Islands.

The War Department is satisfied that
is success, and 'contemplates the formal
adoption of the system without further
experiments. Should the Government be
successful in negotiations for the Marconi
system, ii is proposed to erect Stations
at Key West and Havana. one enmportant

Aside from this aspect Of the matter,
however, it is proposed to CONNECT, all the
American West Indies by means of the
Marconi system If the negotiations are
successful, stations will be erected on the
eastern end of Cuba and on the. western
coast of Haiti. No doubt is felt of the
ability of the electric waves to traverse
the fiftyfve miles separating these points.
The land lines of Haiti and
Santo Domingo will convey a
message sent to San ~ Juan
to the easternmost point of Santos Domin-
go, where wireless telegraph station will
be established and the electric waves will
station to be located on the western
shore of Porto Rico. The establishment Of
a station at Key West may be postponed
because of the yellow fever scare pre-
vailing there. Stations may be established
also in Hawaii to connect the Islands Of

A department official has said that final
arrangements for the establishment OF the

number OF craft that took no part in that
famous action. Another point is worth
noting. The crew of the battleship Indi-
ana thought they were going to be de-
priyed of their just dues and the Resolute's
officers were called upon TO testify that the
Indiana was within 300 yards from them
when firing commenced Yet on top of
this the man who was navigating officer of
the Indiana at that time, now says he did
not know the Resolute was around. Why
this sudden change of base? Has Samp-
son hypnotized him?
When these facts became known, a wave
of Indignation swept over the entire State,
and SO great has the clamor against the
rear admiral become that leading politi
clans are consuming realms OF paper ask

that the people Will have nothing to do
with the sword presentation ceremonies,

within them to pay homage to a. man
guilty of such conduct
To give the affair something OF the ap-
pearance of popularity, orders have been
issued for every officeholder in the State

fayoritism is shown in this invitation. That

But this sham enthusiasm will not fool
the people. They are justly proud of the
war record of their naval reserve. and they
regard the presentation of sword to the
man who is trying to belittle that record
as adding insult TO injury.

would make no demand for a hearing of
the case in Annapolis.

States Attorney Duffy said and his case
will have TO be sent before the grand jury
of Anne Arundel county. He will have to
be tried in Anne Arundel county unless it
is shown the murders were committed in
Baltimore county, or the trial is removed
TO some other Jurisdiction. Nothing in the
case happened in Baltimore except that
the body OF Captain Caulk was brought
here and Wyatt was arrested here.
IF the question arises as to whether
Anne Arundel or Baltimore county has
jurisdiction in the case, Wyatt could have
it. tested by applying for writ of habeas
corpus The Baltimore county authorities
might test the matter In the same way. Ii
the authorities of Anne Arundel county
want TO test the question, they could do so
by having Wyatt indicted In that county
and then moving to quash the indictment
and send the case to the proper jurisdic

moved from Anne Arundel county, either
