did the "Hostile' chiefs return than a
raid was made upon the corntields of
the "Friendlies," and everything of
value taken away and the growing
crops destroyed.
The war was now on. At the head of
two troops of cavalry. and with hotch-
kiss gun, the agent hurried to Oraibi.
1t was terrible climb to reach the sum-
nit of the precipitous cliff upon which
Oraibi is built, with the gun, but when
it was accomplished the agent called
out, one by one the names of 10 of the
ringleaders of the Hostile" party,
placed them under arrest and marched
away with them.
One man that was wanted was not to
be found. Spies were set to watch for
him, and when il was! found that he was
hidden in the lower story of the house
here pictured several soldiers were sent
TO arrest him. When the soldiers
reached the dark and hidden chamber
where Kuch-i-wen-ti-wa was hidden, he
yelled with fear and alarm, and begged
them not to kill him. With rude laugh
ter and taunts the soldiers seized him,
and this so .enraged the Indians old
mother that she picked up bundle of
arrows and freely struck at one of the
soldiers with them. Fortunately no
particular harm was done.
Next day the prisoners were marched
off to Fort Defiance, and from thence
were taken on the Santa Fe railway to
the island fortress of AlcatraZ, in the
bay of San Francisco. where they were
kept as prisoners for number of
months. As the train rolled along,
kuch-i-wen-ti-wa was so scared at the
novel sensation that he sprang out of
the window, carrying the sash with
him. This was in the middle Of the
Arizona desert. The train was stopped,
backed up, and the poor wretch was
found, by the side of the track, bruised,
bleeding and senseless.
When the government thought these
"Hostiles" punished sufficiently, they
were returned to their home, where |
found them on my last visit. They are
still angry and sullen. They still refuse
to send their children to school. Their
enmity against the "Friendlies" is only
held in allegiance through fear of the
power of the United States government.
But their hatred of those who have for
saken the ways of their forefathers is
just as bitter as ever il was, and their
determination to drive them out from
their ancient village just as settled as
ever. To all outward appearances there
is a calm, but who knows when the
storm will again break forth. Who are
the martyrs? Those who wish to fol-
low the ways of their forefathers, or
those who are willing TO forsake them
and walk in the way of Washington?

ALGER Is WELCOMED.
Ex-secretsry of War Is warmly
Greeted Upon His Arrival
mt Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 3.-Whatever
may have been the personal feelings of
the late secretary of war, Gen. Russell
n. Alger, concerning recent incidents
of his official career, all sentiments save
those of genuine happiness were very
evidently banished Wednesday after
noon and evening by the magnificent
welcome rendered him by the people of
his own city and state. From four
O'clock, when the welcoming committee
crowded into his private car upon its ar
rival at Toledo, until nine o'clock, when
The general ceased grasping out
stretched hands, the scene was q con-
slant and spontaneous ovation.
The special train which met Gen. Al
ger and party at Toledo consisted
of six coaches. 1t carried 400 members
of the reception committee.
When the train arrived here the gem
erals car was besieged by his old
friends. Gen. Alger was escorted
through the reception train and greet
ed by all. Headed by about 900 bicy-
clists, over LOCO marchers escorted Gen,
Alger from the Michigan Central sta
ton by circuitous course, leading pa t
the generals home to the reviewing
stand. Militia and veterans of the civil
war. including Fairbanks post, G. \. r..
of which the general is member. a
company of Spanish war veterans and
scores of marchers in secret society uni
forms, filed past. Fairbanks post car
ricd two great banners. stretching half
across the street. which declared,
There is only one Alger."
When Gen. Alger appeared upon The
reviewing stand there was a roar of APP
plause from the dense crowd which
blockaded all traffic across the campus
martius. The oX-sccretary reviewed
the parade and returned the salutations
of many marchers, especially those OF
veteran G. \. II. comrades.
