WISCONSIN STATE NEWS.
Accuse of Double Crime,

Frank Schwant was arrested at Col
Mrs. William Klokow at Spencer on
November IA, on which date the aged
couple were burned to death in their
home. 1t appears that the Klokows
decided their farm over to Schwant
with the understanding that he was
to provide home for them during
the remainder of their lives. Schwant,
it is said, was the only person who
saw the fire. The arrest was made
after the coroner's jury brought in 8
verdict of murder.

Pan Their Eats a Girl.

The eight-year-old daughter of C.
F. Rilcy, farmer living 16 miles
from Cartwright, in the Mad Brook
settlement, was carried away by a
huge panther and devoured. The girl
was walking in the road near the
farm when the beast sprung from the
woods and, taking the girl il it's
jaws, carried her into a swamp, where
she met a most horrible death, being
torn limb from limb. A few scat
tered remains that were found were
gathered up and buried.

policy of post commander had led
to an attack upon peaceful band, and
that to the humiliation of the attack
ing party. From that fatal day of the
Grattan massacre ten years before,
there had been no real truce with the
Sioux, and now was opportunity af-
forded for a long-plotted revenge.
Dean wondered Folsom had not looked
for it instead of sleeping in fancied
security.
A mile nearer the butte and, glanc-
ing back, he could see his faithful
men come bounding in his tracks. A
mile ahead, rising abruptly from the
general level. little knoll or butte
jutted out beyond the shoulders of
the foothills and stood sentinel with
in three hundred yards Of the stream.
On the near-the westward-side, moth
ing could be seen of horse or man.
Something told him he would find the
combatants beyond-that dead or
alive, Hal Folsom would be there
awaiting him. A glance at the COM
handing heights and the ridge that
connected it with the tumbling, wood
ed bills to the north, convinced him
that at that moment some OF the Zoe
were lurking there, watching the
westward valley, and by this time
they knew full well of the coming of
the cavalry to the rescue. By this
time, more than likely, they were
scurrying off to the mountains again,
returning the way they came, with a
start of at least two miles.
'With or without the coveted
scalps?" he wondered. Thus far he
had been riding straight for the butte.
The road wound around and disap-
reared behind him, but there was no
sense in following the road. pursue
and punish" was the thing to be
done. Surely not more than a dozen
were in the band, else that courier
could never have hoped to get in,
wounded as he was. The Indians were
too few in number to dare follow to
the ranch, guarded as, by almost God
given luck, it happened to be through
the unlooked-for presence of the
troops. No, it was a small band,
though daring one. Its lookout had
surely warned it by this time of his
coming, and by this time, too, all
save one or two who rode the heetest
ponies and fingered probably for a
parting shot at the foremost of the
chase, had scampered away behind
the curtain of that ridge. Therefore,
in long curve, never checking his
magnificent stride, Dean guided his
bounding bay to the left-the north
east-and headed for the lowest point
of the divide.
And then it all occurred to him too
that he was far in front of his men,
too far to be of use to them and just

After an absence of 80 years, Albert
Mayo, of Rampant City, Alaska. is Wis
iting at his old home in Beloit. On
leaving Beloit Mr.. Mayo went to
Alaska, and this is his first trip to
the states since he went away. He is
an uncle Of B. A. Oliver, of that city,
and when the latter returned from a
prospecting tour in Alaska two years
ago, two of Mr.. Mayo's children came
with him to be educated. Mr.. Mayo

And then while

across the stream. And then while
strong arms lifted and bore the wound
ed herdsman to the porch, Dean turned
to the wailing mistress, who, white
faced and terror-stricken, was wiring
ing her hands and moaning and run
ming wildly up and down the walk and
calling for some one to go and save
her husband. Dean almost bore her to
a chair and babe her fear nothing. He
and his men would lose not moment.
On the floor at her feet lay the little
card photograph, and Dean, hardly
thinking what he did, stopped, picked
it up and placed it in the pocket of his
hunting shirt, just as the trumpeter
on his plunging gray reached the gate,
Deans big, handsome charger trotting
swiftly alongside. In an instant the
lieutenant was in saddle, in another
second a trooper galloped up with his
belt and carbine. Already the men
were leading into line across the
stream, and, bidding the trumpeter tell
Sergt. Shaughnessy to follow at speed,
the young officer struck spur to his
horse and, carbine in hand, a single
trooper at his heels, away he darted
down the valley. G troop, splashing
through the ford moment later, took
the direct road past the stockade of
the corral, disappeared from sight
moment behind that wooden fortifica-
ton and, when next it hove in view, it
was galloping front into line far down
the Laramie, then once more vanished
behind it's curtain of dust.
1.-TWO miles out there under the
BUTTE" was the only indication the
young officer had of the scene of the
fight, for fight he knew it must be,
and even as he went bounding down
Che valley he recalled the story of the
Indian girl, the threats of Burning
Star, the vowed vengeance of her
brothers. Could it be that, taking ad-
vantage of this raid of Red Cloud, far
from all the reservations, far from
possibility of detection by count of pry-
ing agents, the three had induced a
gang of daring, devil-may young
warriors to slip away from the Big
Horn with them and, riding stealthily
away from the beaten trails, to ford
the Platte beyond the ken of watch
full eyes at Fetterman and sneak
through the mountain range to the
beautiful, fertile valley beyond, and
there lie in wait for. Hal Folsom or for
those he loved? What was to prevent?
Well they knew the exact location Of
his ranch. They had fshed and sport
ed all about it in boy days-days when
the soldiers and the Sioux were all
good friends, days before the mistaken

CHAPTER VI.-CONTINUED.

Measuring as he meant his words
to be, Marshall Dean himself looked
anxiously about at the unprotected
walls. Not even the customary dug
out" or underground refuge seemed to
have been prepared. Almost every
homestead, big or little, of those days,
had it's tunnel from the cellar to
dugout near at hand, stocked with
provisions and water and provided
with loopholes commanding the neigh
borhood, and herein the besieged
could take refuge and stand off the
Indians until help should come from
the nearest fort. "The name Of Fol-
som is our safeguard" said Mrs. Hail.
in her happy honeymoon days, but
that was before the mother told her
of the threats of Burning Star Or the
story of the Ogallalla girl he vainly
loved. "All that happened so long ago."
she murmured, when at last the tale
was told. But Hal should have known,
if she did not, that even when it
seems to sleep Indian vengeance is
but gaining force and fury.
Presently Mrs. Hal came tripping
forth again, little carte de visite in
her hand, smile of no little signifi-
canoe on her lips. 'Now, Mr.. Dean,
will you tell me what you think of that
for paPpoose?''
And with wonderment in his eyes
the young officer stod and held it and
gazed.
There stood Pappoose, to be sure,
but what a change! The little maiden
with the dark braids of hair hanging
far below her waist had developed into
a tall slender girl, with cIear-cut oval
face, crowned by mass Of dark tress-
es. Her heavy, low-arching brows
spanned the thoughtful deep, dark
brown eyes that seemed to speak the
soul within and the beautiful face was
lighted up with a smile that showed
just a peep Of faultless white teeth,
cleaning through the warm curves OF
her soft, sensitive lips. The form was
exquisitely rounded, yet supple and
erect.
Hasn't Jessie written you of how
Nell has grown and improved?" said
Mrs. Hall with a woman's quick note
of the admiration and surprise in
Deans regard.
.sShe must have,' was the answer,
'I'm sure she has, but perhaps l
thought it schoolgirl rhapsody-per-
haps l had too many other things to
think off,
'sPerhaps you'll find it superseding
these too many other things, Mr.. Sol
dier Boy" was Mrs. Halls mental com
ment. snow, sir, if you've gazed
enough perhaps you'll tell me your
plans" and she stretched forth re-
claiming hand.
But he hung on to the prize. LET me
keep it minute" he pleaded. Its
theloveliest thing I've seen in months .
And, studying his absorbed face, she
yielded, her eyebrows arching, pref
ty smile of feminine triumph about her
lips, and neither noticed the non-com-
missioned officer hurrying within the
gate, nor that half the men in "C''
troop at their bivouac along the
stream were on their feet and gazing
to northeast, that far down the valley
a horseman was speeding like the
wind, that little puffs of smoke were
rising from the crests of the grand
landmark of the range and floating
into the blue of the heavens. Both
started to their feet at the abrupt an
nouncement.
