moving up the hill in touch with the
infantry, and battalion of the Third
was climbing the slope in front Of "Ket-
tie hill while Roosevelt was going
through these motions evidently to get
his own regiment into shape.
Roosevelt finally got to the crest Of
San Juan ridge, Meanwhile the Third
cavalry had formed a line in the V
SHIPPED ridge or salient, subsequently
called Rough Riders hill, but which
they did not capture, Roosevelt says he
had a mixed force and about 80 Of his
own men. This corresponds to the state
ment of Captain Morton Of the Third
cavalry. Morton became senior on the
front line by the wounding of Major
Vessels and went along the crest from
right to left to find out his strength.

=, III. A soldier Of the regiment who
had been on duty at headquarters went
in search of the command that night
and reached its colonel and all there
was of the regiment about 10 O'Clock.
He said that what surprised him most
was that there were $50 few rough
riders there. In his mind the rough
riders should muster 800, barring the
fallen.
Now the rough riders lost on July 1
and 2, 81 killed and wounded They did
their share of facing Mausers and earned
a share in the glory. The regulars ac-
cord them this willingly, But the true
story of the rough riders is yet to be
written. Their colonel has made three
attempts at it, but he apparently saw
little of what the regiment was doing
as a regiment on July /. Yet he
was colonel over 500 men AS good and
brave as ever stood behind gun.

A Mormon Service.

the Mormon service held in that city last
Sunday: 1T was n unique gathering.

ed, containing IA bed. a few chairs, q wash
stand and small table which the preach
er used as pulpit. On the wall We're a
map of milwaukee,, looking glass q
large, brightly colorcd Scriptural picture

persons, Of whom were elders of tho
church, 10 children, 3 male converts to
tho strange religion, q women, visitor
and the reporter
1.-THE preacher began his service at Q
O'Clock and preached about an hour. He
scored all other branches of the Christian
religion, stating that they were composed
largely of hypocrites quoting freely from
the Bible to show how they had fallen
away from the early teachings. Ministers
take pay for their services, he said, and If
more pay is offered from one field than
another they hasten to change and go
where money is most plentiful, in direct
variance with the Bible teachings He
spoke Of baptism, too, saying that the
Scripture shows that complete immersion

officer, it must be taken as meaning
that the rough riders carried the sec
ond line" and ''drove the Spaniards
over the brow" In his second report
Colonel Roosevelt says that after Fort
San Juan was taken large force was
assembled on "Kettle" hill, not only of
his own regiment but OF the Ninth and
portions of other regiments. This is
well known. He then states: eve then
charged forward under heavy fire
across the valley against the Spanish in
trenchments on the hill in rear of San
Juan hill. This we also took, capturing
several prisoners. He received orders
to halt and hold the crest. At the time
he had fragments Of the Sixth cavalry
and an occasional lnfantryman under
him, 300 or 400 men all told. The rough
riders numbSed 542 and lost 81 in all,
making about 475 on duty But there
were other troopers than the Sixth and
rough riders with Roosevelt at the time.
Either Roosevelt is confused as to the
order Of events or he and his rough rid
ers had nothing Co do with the capture
Of the second ridge, or San Juan bill.
He places his rush forward after Par
ker $ Gatlings opened on Fort San Juan.
AT that hour the cavalry advance was
rushing along the swale toward the sec
ond ridge. Roosevelt says that when he
saw the Spaniards abandon Fort San
Juan he called upon his men to charge
the hills in front that is, north San
Juan ridge. His details of what follow
ed, coming from the colonel of the regi-
ment reported to have done wonders
that day, need no comment. Roosevelt
jumped fence and went on alone,
thinking the men would follow, but at
the end of 100 yards found be had but
five rough riders with him. He told
them to stay where they were while he
went back and brought up the rest Of

however, viewed foreign international

him around the trenches, chatting volubly
and calling him prince" much as Ken

see, prince, the great result of this war is
that it has united the two branches of the
Anglo Saxon people, and now that they

evidently filed with the pleasing belief
that the Russian would cordially sympa-
thize with this view. - "Tho Rough

WAR ON TEXAS WOLVES.
A Professional Killer Employed by
the Cattle Rnisers.

The wolves were not as plentiful as we
had expected to find them. The reason
for their scarcity is that the ranchmen
have adopted n successful method of dis
posing Of them Some five or six of the
big ranches have raised a salary which
they pay man whose business is no other
than to kill wolves and panthers. That
man is Mr.. Martin, whose address is
Guthrie. He is better known rs "Wolf"
Martin. Mr.. Martin Is "a trappcr in tho
true sense of the word. He has two head
quarter camps, eight fine saddle horses
which he keeps we'll ridden, "a large pack
of wolf hounds and 200 large wolf traps,
The traps he puts out at certain points
along the road and trails and each morn
ing he makes the circuit with his dogs.
The traps are left loose, and when he finds
one gone tho dogs are placed on the trail
and usually in short distance come upon
the trapped wolf, which they dispose of in
short order. Tho dogs live on the wolves
killed, eating the meat raw.
During his long experience as trapper
Mr.. Martin has learned many curious
things about tho habits of the animals in
his section. The wolves, he says, arc al
ways to be found along the roads at night,
rather than off in the brakes, so he always
places his traps along the roadside. He
uses no bait on his traps, but has substi-
tutc for bait in n kind of fluid of his own
discovery and manufacture. With the fluid
he saturates paper or cloth and burics it
in the ground near his trap. He always
carries bottle Of this fluid with him and
claims it to be superior TO any bait
Last year he killed something over
l, 100 wolves, few panthers and 80 deer.
His salary was at first $50, but has been
raised to $40. This amount, with the
bounites on the scalps and the price of the
skins makes him a salary of 81, 900 or S.
600 year, This is small in comparison
with the amount saved yearly by the cat
tlemen of the section.-Texas Farm and
