CHAPTER XVI,

Late that anxious night one battalion
of the riflers returned to Sedgwlck,
Haynes company one of the four, and
very grave he looked when told of the
events of the past 4S hours. Acting on
the report of Capt. Grafton that Apache
signs had been found in the foothills
ynorth of Jose's, Buxton had ordered an
other troop to march to reinforce him,
and this troop Hayne obtained permits
sion to accompany. 1t marched at
dawn, so he had barely three hours in
which to prepare. Mr.. Parry, wearied
with his journeying and many cares.
had been escorted to Merriam's vacated
quarters by Whitaker some little time
before midnight, and there he was
made welcome by Hop Ling and given
the room abandoned by the master of
the house so short time before. Many
people, between anxiety as to the fate
of their beloved Florence and their
eagerness to receive the rifiers on their
return, sat up until two o'clock; but
Parry, though filled with anxiety as
keen, was well aware that nothing was
to be gained by his spending a wakeful
night and listening to all manner of the
DRY as to the cause of the fair fugitive's
sudden detection from the road to the
ranch. Hayne, therefore, did not meet
nor see him, but, as soon as it was light,
rode forth ahead of the troop, meaning
| to go first to Jose's, sec his wife and DIR.
Gould, and thea strike cut northward,
confident of meeting the second troop
somewhere in the open country that
there spread for miles before him.
Buxton had sent party on the trail
Of Merriam within an hour of his dash
and with orders to bring him back to
the post, but they had not been heard
from since their start, land" said Whit
taker, they're not likely to be. Those
fellows barely ride one mile to Randy's
two. It's my belief he will just pull up
at Jose's and then go straight on to the
foothills, as probably she did"
But Randy was having ride the like
| of which was not recorded in the annals
of Fort Sedgwick since the days when,
long before the war, the First Dragons
and the Navajos battled for the master
ship of the Santa Clara. Ignorant as
yet of the report of Apaches in the
foothills of the Mescalero, his one the
DRY was that she had gone to Jose's,
intending from there to push on to the
cantonment. The thought of her dar-
irg so long and so hard a ride at time
when she should be guarded with the
utmost care was in itself a source OF
dire distress to him, and he could hard
" have speeded faster and with grim
mer determination to defy all pain or
WEAKNESS had he dreamed of the dead
ly perils that lurked about her path
Of the fact that Valdez and his few fol
levers had eventually fled northward
and across the road to the Catamount
he had heard nothing. Through HOP
Ling's chatter he had gathered that
Grafton and his men were gone in
search of Florence and that Mrs. Haynt
and DIR. Gould were at Jose's. He dare
not stop to make inquiries at the gar
rison. He was under medical care
therefore under doctors orders, ant
on complaint of the acting sur
geon it would be perfectly com
petent for Buxton to place hin
in close arrest. His one idea, there
fore. was to put as much GROUND

the horses eyes when he goes out from

When the light cannot be admitted

KNELL OF c. o. KNEPPER.
End Of an Earnest Educator OF
the State Normal.

the State Normal.
Lewiston Tribune.
Prof. C. O. Knepper died ycster-
day morning at 8 o'clock of pneu-
monia at his residence on the hill
He had been patient suffer, for
weeks, and when the end came he
was resigned and prepared to go.
The funeral will be held at 2 o'cloc k
this afternoon from the Methodist
church. The normal school will
b. closed today and the students
will attend the funeral in body.
The deceased was a profound
student and an educator of the
highest attainments, ranking
among the foremost thinkers of the
day. He was distinctively a
stndent, and was very able along
the lines of theology, psychology,
history and literature, which were
his favorite studies. He was quite
we'll versed in Latin, Greek, He
brew and German.
@, o. Knepper was born a little
more than sixty-twO years ago. lie
was native of Pennsylvania. He
began teaching at the age Of Is,
and completed regular classical
course Of study at the Heidelberg
seminary at Tiffin, Ohio, in the
class of '62.
After few years there he re-
turned to Iowa, taking charge of
the Waverly public schools as SUI
perintendent. Here he remained
until called back to his alma mater
where he occupied the chair OF
bellies lettres for nineteen years.
1t was his boast that during all
these years he never missed reci-
tatiOn on account of his own illness.
His next move was to Santa
Barbara, Cali, where he edited the
Morning Press for four years. This
work was not to his liking. He
came to Lewiston in 1897, where he
established the Inland Journal.
To this he intended to and did de-
vote the rest of his days.
In September last he was APP
pointed to take charge of several
classes in the normal school. He
was delighted with both phases OF
his work, but early in January he
was taken down with la grippe,
which resulted in pneumonia and
finally in death.

Well, Xmas has come and gone,

old saying was fully borne out:
"that men are only grown up
children" These sunburned and
dust-begrimed warriors forgot the
past eight months hardships ,priva-
tions and wrongs, real or fancied.
They were children once more

all forgot the present and their

was reported that on Sunday. jan

cupy the town with his barefooted
army, but they didn't keep their
appointments. We were sent to
the front several times within the
past month, either on outpost or az
a support to the outpost. There is
no doubt but things were consid-
erably strained between the insur-
gents and Americans, and the
slightest overt act on either side
would have provoked open hostili.
tilities when much blood must GER
tainly have been shed, as the two
armies were face to face clear
around the city in a half circle OF
about 10 or IL miles front.
Whether we will have a fight or
not is more than anyone can tell.
We have come very near it several
times, and trouble was barely
averted by the highest order OF
American GOODNESS and nerve.

JOE ARLINGTON TALKS.
Losses of Live Stock on the
Range will not Exceed Ten
Per Cent.

About this time of year the
alarmists step to the front with
reports of great losses of live stock
on the ranges in this county. The
present time is no exception to the
general rule, only that this season
the losses of stock are made higher
than usual because Of the extraor-
binary severity of the past winter.
Among other reports it has been
stated that j. N. Rice, of Freedom,
and Holt & Rhoades, of Golf, had
lost their entire herds, and also that
Wyatt & Ross, our biggest cattle
raisers, had lost l 900 head ofstock
ON the Salmon river range this
winter.
Today Joe Abingdon is in town
from the Wyatt X Ross ranch, and
when told of these reports of fabu-
lous losses he smiled quietly and
said: II have been riding the range
all winter for Wyatt 4 Ross and
the cattle are pulling through in
pretty good shape. l do not think
the loss on the Salmon river range
will be more than ten per cent.
Even in the mildest winter we have
more or less losses, and taking one
winter with another we figure on
losing anywhere from. three to six
per cent, SO that while the present
winter has been unusually long and
unusually severe the loss is not
much largers.than IN any ordinary
year."
An interview was also obtained
from H. j. Martin, u well-known
cowboy working the various Jones
herds on the Salmon river and at
times on the prairie. Mr.. Martin
said that the only stockman re-
ported to be an unusually heavy
loser this year was Wyatt, and
that rumor no doubt exaggerated
the losses in this instance. He also
pointed out that a per cehtage OF
loss was to be calculated on every
winter, but so far as his observa-
ton extended, the deaths among
the herds were not above the aver
age, save in the instance mention
ed. According to this authority
the Wyatt losses were entirely due
to an unfortunate miscalculation as
to the probable behavior of the
weather. During a recent warm
spell, when the snow disappeared
and it seemed the winter had end
ed, Messrs. Wyatt & Ross drove
their stock from the Salmon to the
Snake river. The stock had bare
~ arrived and had not even rested
from their trip when the snow
commenced tie fall aud did not let
up until two feet covered the
ground. 1t was found impossible
to drive the stock back again
through this, and as the snow re-
manned considerable length of
time losses naturally resulted.
Stock on the prairie, however,
are all reported to be doing we'll.
Beef cattle, however, are exceed
ingly scarce.
