Fitz Lee an Indian Fighter.

1t has often been noticed that when
ever Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visits the
White House he stops to have chat
with Capt. Loetiler. who stands guard
at the presidents private office and
the cabinet room. Thisi generally at
tributcd to Lee ; pleasant way of
treating everyone, but it has another
origin.
Before the civil war Lee was lieu
tenant in the old Second cavalry, after
ward rcorganized as the Fifth. Loeff-
Ter was a trooper in this regiment and
later u non-commissioncd officer. His
company was one of the two which
were engaged in sharp fight with
the kiowa and Comanchc indians in
the Cimarron country in Texas in 1859.
The Indians had taken refuge in a
narrow canon, which could be entered
only from one end, and there had
thrown up fortitication Of logs, from
behind which they poured hot fire
into the troops. The character of the
canon was such that the horses Of the
cavalry were useless, and they were
left outside, the men advancing on
foot. Only Il few of the Indians had
firearms. the rest using bows and
arrows. Had the Indians been as
we'll armed as they have been in later
wars, the loss of the whites would have
been very large, as it was, only four or
five soldiers were killed, though the
Indian loss amounted to nearly fifty.
Il charge was made upon the log
fort, and Lee, who was a dasl.ing
officer and u wonderful favoritc with
his men, was the first one to scale the
brcstwork. The arrows were whizzing
all about him, and enc struck him in
the breast, inilicting very ugly
wound. AS he fell, the confusion was
so great about him that the arrow was
pulled out Of his flesh and thrown to
the ground among the other arrows,
whole and broken, so that no one
could tell afterwards whether the head
had remained in the wound or had
been drawn out with the stick. It
was impossible, therefore, to say how
seriously he had been hurt, and he
was carried at once to the rear, where
c litter was improvised CT saplings and
boughs. He was laid upon this,
which was swung between two horses.
and thus he was carried back to the
wagon train, distance of more than
$50 miles, through q rough country.
Probing showed that the head of the
arrow had fortunately been drawn out,
and in due time good nursing put the
lieutenant on his feet again.
This is an incident in Lees career
which is apparently known to very
few. 1t is of interest, also, that the
old Second cavalry had for it's colonel
Albert Sidney Johnson, and for ita
lieutenant colonel Robert +. Lee, and
that Hardee, of tactics" fame, and
George H. Thomas were two Of its
majors. The captain of the company
in which Fitzhugh Lee was first lieu
tenant was Kirby Smith. Loefflor
served with credit in the Union
army through the civil war, received
his White House detail from Presi-
dent Grant, and was appointed "mil-
itary storekeepcr" in the regular army,
with the rank of captain, by President
McKinley.-Denrcr Post

Cruelty and Then Deserted Her.
SHE WILL RESUME HER MAIDEN NAME
Dessrlon and Han-Suppoh the Grounds on Which
Mrs. Matte 6. Bellows Mas GRAINED Decree
and Leave to Resume Maiden Name.

Judge Rogers today heard some d.
vorce petitions in which the parties
from whom separation was sought did
not contest the charges made. There
are a few more such cases TO be dis
posed of before the close OF the present
week when the court adjourns.
Edward Warner was granted a di-
vorce from his wife, Minnie r. Warner,
on the ground OF desert.on. The only
reason Ne or his witnesses could give
for the desertion was that some years
ago his eyesight became affected. Mr..
Warner said that five years ago he saw
his wife and asked her to return and
live with him but she refused. Oscar
Lapham was Mr.. Warmers attorney.
Adah j. Mayne obtained a divorce
from Thomas III. Mayne on the grounds
OF desertlon, extreme cruelty and nom
support. Mrs. Maynes mother had ac-
cording To deposition read TO the court,
a pretty minute history OF her daugh-
ters married life at her tongues end
she deposed that the husband never
palu MS wife's bills for medical at
tendance. that he made his wife work all
the time and when she was SEX he
went 10 MS own folks for food, leaving
nei " shirt Tor herself. Other bad ac-
mons OF the defendant were deposed TO
py MS Wife. who said that once Mayne
broke up their home because he wanted
her 10 work. She and the defendant
went 10 boarding house to live where
after a time he left her and she went
10 her mothers TO live. The mother of
the petitioner said Mrs. Mayne had a
fine disposition. c. j. Farnsworth was
Mrs. Mayne's lawyer and there being
no children by the marriage she was
given leave to resume her maiden
name.
Mrs. Matte L. Bellows asked for a
divorce from her husband William r
Bellows on the grounds of desertion
ana non-support. One of the witnesses
whose deposition was read said Bellows
could not support himself much less
his wife. This witness. however. as we'll
as others said the defendant was a
strong able-bodied man. Mrs. bellows

DISSENTING OPINION
Filed by Judge Stlnsss in the Moran.
CohiSs Co. Case
Defendant Not Guilty Of Negligence Up to
Time Of the Accident.

The majority OF the judges of the
appellate court handed down on Satur.
day an opinion sustaining the verdict
Tor the plaintiff in the case OF James
Moran VS.. Corliss Steam Engine COM
pany. Judge Stiness filed q dissenting
opinion. which is as follows:
s"On account of the somewhat pecu.
liar features OF this case" his honor
says. Il think it is proper to state the
grounds upon which differ from the
opinion of the court.
"Iffully agree with the rule that in
dealing with a dangerous element the
highest degr'< of care is required. Ap-
plying the rule. however, / fail to see
mat the defendant was guilty of negli-
gence. Up to the time of the accident
the insulation of the machine. though
not perfect, was such that IL was not
dangerous. No harm had come from
IL. and the leakage of electricity was
slight. The current in use was not dan
gerous in Itself. The court finds that
the accident was due to more power
ful current from the contact of wires
outside the defendants premises prob
ably caused by a violent storm and
holds that the defendant was bound to
nave anticipated such a possibility
Ihis is the statement to which / am un-
able to agree. There is nothing To
show that the defendant knew that
such contact had ever occurred he
fore or was likely TO occur. except. az
everybody may know, that in n violent
storm poles may be blown down. True
this is possibility. So IL is a poss,-
bil1ty that freshets may occur Yet
railroad companies which are held to
the highest degree OF care are not held
liable for damage caused by extraordi-
nory and unexpected floods and storms
Reasonable foresight is not held 70 ~
TO the limit of bare possibilities. In the
absence OF anything to show the do.
fendant's knowledge or control of out.
side wires or any insecurity of tho
poles on which they were strung. or
their adjacency to the wires leading TO
It's factory or reasonable expectation
that its wires were liable to become

me that the principle which applies In
