Oahu. The principal witness against
him was Sheriff Brown. who had seen
him staggering along Merchant street
in the neighbornood of the telephone

whole sidewalk The sheriff had tele-
phoned to the police station and had
an officer take the man to the station.
This was about six o'clock in the even
inc. Just after the sheriff had come
from the grand jury. McNess stated
that he was not drunk, and that he had
taken but two glasses Of beer, and that
il was early in the morning when he
had taken them.
When taxed by the sheriff with being
so intoxicated that he had to lean
against the wall Of neighboring build
ing for support. AcNess did not re-
member it at all.
In fact he thought that it Was dark

but those bandits did not live to tell
the story of their crime. The head of
their chief is now in alcohol in glass

If Gen. Custer had been possessed
of the tact and diplomacy which Sen
ator Shoup once displayed he might
not have met with such tragic fate
at the hands of the Sioux. When he
was lieutenant in the army, on one
occasion, he had an experience similar
to that of Custer, but he came out of
it alive, and in triumph. He ran
across a large Indian village, but
saved himself and his command and
captured the enemy. Ex-senator
Sanders, of Montana, himself one of
the bravest of the brave frontiersmen,
told the story several times, and the
writer one evening induced Senator
Shoup to tell the story in detail. He
IS not now here, and 1 cannot give
the exact date, but it was about 1870;
or between 1870 and 1873. It was one
of the most thrilling of experiences.
Senator Shoup said: 49,,
ut was reported at the fort that
three emigrant wagons had been way
laid on. the Cimarron river, their
camp destroyed, the wagons burned,
and the people killed for made pris-
oners. I was detailed to bring in
the marauders. I was given So picked
men. and sergeant. I selected good
men; and the sergeant was a veteran
fit to command a company. We were
to bring in the marauders who had
committed the crime, and to bring
back their booty; also the prisoners,
II they were still alive.
1--WE soon reached the scene. The
Indians had scattered in all direc-
tions. Their trails looked like the
points of star, radiating from that
spot. I paid no attention to that, but
told my guide to lead to the next
watering place, to: the southwest. We
reached: that place the next day. The
Indians had been there, had watered
their horses, and cooked their food;
and had scattered out in all directions

SEEKING A NEW HOME.

general government is thus deprived
of sales, and the settlement of the
country is retarded. The land, being
denuded of vegetation, is practically
valueless for several years after it's
abandonment by the stockmen. The
syndicates use the lands as long as
there is vegetation, and after the
abandonment it is about three years
before the vegetation grows out, and
thus the lands are practically out of
the market for series of years..
The settler, or rancher, is content
with a tract of 160 acres, and as his
crops improve he may want an addi-
tional tract to suit the needs Of his
growing family, but the syndicate has
got control Of everything insight, and
there is no room for progress and de-
vslopment. ~. y#- -.
The leasing system, it is thought,
will partly remedy this evil, as the
syndicates could not then grab such
large territories. Others, however,
think that it would be more favorable
to the syndicates. Under the system Of
ceding lands to the states, and taxing
them, tits thought that the wholesale
land-grabbiag would be checked en-

away from the fort, and reinforce
ments could not be expected.
"Within half an hour about 400
Apaches came charging down upon
US. I told my sergeant that if I got
parley the men were to stand i'm
movable until raised my sword. At
that signal every rifle on the file fac
ing the chief was to be leveled at the
chief. And that if waved my sword
the men were to begin firing at the
chief and his sub-chiefs.
"Then I rode forth to meet the
painted yelling savages. I waved my
handkerchief, indicating that want
ed a parley. The old chief, who
seemed to know that he had sure
thing anyway, halted his band, and
came forward with four sub-chiefs, to
parley with me. He said that I was
on his ground, in his country, and he
intended to kill or capture me and all
of my men. I made my interpreter
talk fast. and explain to him that
was an officers under orders to bring in
those marauders, and that I meant no
offense to him or his sovereignty, but
hoped that he would see that was
simply obeying orders. I was stand
ing beside my horse, with my left
hand on the pommel of the saddle. In
those days it was easy for me to jump
into the saddle. The old chief
sneered, and said that he would make
no terms except surrender with me.
Then drew my sword, and said:
"'You see the rifles aimed at you.
If wave my sword, my men will kill
you and your sub-chiefs before your
men can fire shot. I will not sur
render, but you must. You and your
sub-chiefs must walk inside my hol-
low square,
"They do so; but made them drop
their blankets and guns before they
reached my line. Then the old chief,
under my orders, sent word that the
marauders must be brought in. The
Indians were amazed, but they did al
he commanded. 1t took us seven
days, hard marching, to get back to
the fort. But we brought in the
marauders, and LOO. Indians came
with US. OF course we were guarding
the old chief and his sub-chiefs all the
time, and kept them under the aim
of guns all the time. Nevertheless,
we had our hours for sleep, as we'll as
for guard duty. The marauders were
properly dealt with; but the old chief,
the sub-chiefs and all of the Apaches
who followed us back to the fort were
given barbecue and lots Of presents,
and we never had any trouble with
them afterwards
There is story of heroism, cour.
age and tactical skill, modestly told
by one of the bravest and best men
that ever faced foe. The gallant
Custer rushed right into an Indian
village and suffered death with his
command. Shoup, the frontiersman,
captured the whole Indian contingent.
And yet few: people in Washington
know that Idaho's grand old man
lived such a life of daring, and &C.
complished such an achievement of
military skill and prowess.

Little DAMAGE DOne. "

St. Louis, June 4. - More cars
are now in operation over the lines of
the St. Louis Transit company than
on. any day since May s., when the
strike began. All are under police
protection, one or more officers be-
ing on each car. but they have little
to do.
The work of securing the force of
2,sOO special deputy sheriffs called for
by the police board continues, and
citizens are being rapidly enrolled.
Saturday morning the sheriff's Office
was crowded with men to answer the
summons sent them. A majority Of
those called on for duty are respond
ing without a murmur, while others
seek to evade the service by leaving
town. One party of 60 is said to have
left the city with the intention OF
staying away until the strike troubles
are over.
An attempt was made late at night
to blow up with dynamite the ST.
Louis Transit company's barns at
Easton and Prairie avenues, in which
$50 employees of the company and a
number of policemen were asleep
and in which were many cars and
much valuable property. This was
the second attempt to wreck the
buildings with dynamite made in
three days. The sheds are three in
number, all of brick and with high
arched slate roofs. They extend from
the southeast corner of Easton and
Prairie avenues. west on EastQn av'
enue to the middle of the block, where
| the office is located.
None of the policemen on the Prai'
RE avenue side of the building saw
anything, although the explosive was
! thrown to the roof of the she'd from
that side. The policemen asleep in
the east shed were thrown violently
from their cots by the force of the
conclusion. Very little damage was
done by the explosion, which shook
the surrounding houses and caused
great excitement among the residents
1t could not be learned who threw
the explosive.

grabbing schemes in the interest of
capitalists, and propose blacklisting
congressman who favor them.
OF the several bills before congress
one is to cede to the several states all
of the public domain in each state.
Intending settlers oppose this, on the
alleged grounds that the syndicates
could the better secure control of the
domain through local politics, and by
influencing the state officials. Why
they should presume that all state
officials could be corrupted is not
clear. Texas is an illustration. of a
state which controls its own public
lands, and is cited as an example why
the lands could be better controlled
in, the interest of settlers than under
the present system. Texas is the only
state in the union. by the way, which
did not cede it's public land to the gen
eral government, as price for state
hood. The Texas system seems to
work well, argue those who favor ced-
ing government lands to the states.
The states would be enriched by q
large revenue from the sale of the
lands, and thus relieve the general
land Office of great deal of work.
Another scheme is for the general
government to lease the lands by
means of an appointed commission in
each state and territory, at from one
to three cents an acre, for period
of from 20 to 30 years. This would,

control of the large syndicates, as
ranchers would not care for large
tracts. Still another project is to per-
nit the states to control the lands
by system of taxation, thus bring
ing in a revenue. It is argued that
the lands are unproductive, and bur-
den upon the government. This tax
alton, on the other hand, would nat
urally force the lands upon the mar.

tracts would consequently be sold for

land question would then be brought
into state politics, and be matter, If
local favoritism. OF the several
schemes it seems difficult to decide
which is the better, and public opinion
seems to be divided upon 1t. The only
deduction that can be made il the
precedent furnished by. Texas.
: Statistics show that an astonishing
" large area Of the public domain in
the west is unoccupied, and the facts
show. that many people are landless,
while others possess or hold principali-
ties in extent. for which they have paid
nothing. Only about 40 per cent. OF
the total land area of California is oc-
cupied, and that is the most populous
of all the western states. Colorado is
not quite as populous. Of the other
sections, about 25 per cent. of the pub
lie lands in Montana and Arizona are
occupied;' about 20 per cent. of Utah;
about Is per cent. of Wyoming, and
only about five per cent. Of the sage
brush borough of Nevada, which has
two senator's in congress, and polls only
10000 votes. These sections have total
areas, as follows: California, 90. O0O, 900
acres; Arizona, 72.OO0,O0O; Montana,
95, 900, 600; Idaho, s., 000, 900; Utah, ST.
ooo,oOo; Wyoming, 62,o0O,000;s Colo
RADIO, $4,000, 900; Nevada, s., 000, 900. A
very large area of this. land is noun
famous and desert, but the mountains
are good for grazing purposes, and are
so used. The settlers object to the
grabbing of the lands available for ag'
riculture. Much of the mountain land
is rich in timber, and this is also being
grabbed by the syndicates, denuded OF
the timber. thus lessening the rainfall
to the detriment of the farming lands
in the valleys.
The Indians also raise howl
against the acquisition of the lands
by the syndicates. They claim that
the forests naturally belong to them
for hunting purposes. This lessons
their game supply and they must
move elsewhere. No sooner does the
noble red brother find another forest
reserve, where there is plenty OF
game, than the pale face land chiet
claims everything, and soon there is
no more game for the Indian. He de-
sires to have a big talk with the big
chief at Washington, to know if he is
continually to be disturbed by the
land grabbers, but it is not likely that
his talk will be effective against the
marauding syndicates.
There are a number of these syndi'
Gates throughout the west. which are
acquiring immense tracts of land, not
only to the detriment of the Indian
and the white settler, but to the tax
payers and the general government
Most of these are English, with Eng

Il Paying no attention to that. de-
fusion, I pushed southwestward into
the Apache country. We had been out
from the fort five days, without COM
ing up with the Indians, although we
were on the right trail. On the morn
ing of the sixth day, as we came over
the brow of hill, we saw before us
an Apache camp of about 1900. Al
soon as we saw them they saw us.
Immediately the Indian runners were
seen mounting and rushing out to call
in the braves. There was no doubt
that they would attack us, and massa-
ere all of us, if they could; and OF
course they were numerous enough to
do it. The men all knew that as well
as I did. But they were game men.
and I had perfect confidence in them.
Fortunately they also had confidence
in me.
II, took my troop to the top of the
highest hill on the, plateau and
formed them into hollow square. I
told them that we must all die game,
