Mr.. Squiers. A. ex-cav.iryman Distin-
xuished Himself.

Mr. 5quiers, ex-tavAirymAn Distan-
xuish~d Himself.
General James II. Wilson of the army
has written to friend in Washington
from Pekin as follows:
ANY one who has not been here
and seen the ruin and desolation pre-
vailing, or examined the evidences Of
the conflict which ragged about the le-
cations, can form no correct Idea Of
what the latter have gone through. 1t
is one of the most notable episodes In
the whole range OF history. and the
minister. secretaries and military and
naval officers who took part in the de-
fense are likely to appear more heroic
as time goes on than they do now.
where all did well IT is invidious to par
ticularixe, but l cannot withhold word
Of praise for Mr.. Sqriers. our secretary
Of legation. an ex-officer OF the cavalry.
who showed himself to be a man not
only of pluck and courage. but OF ex-
celient military Judgment. He was the
soul Of the defense. and as chick OF
staff to Sir Claude Macdonald. the
nominal head, had matters practically
In his own hands. Captain Myers Of
the marine corps was his most heroic
assistant The vigilance. constnncy
and increasing courage OF this omcer
are an honor to his name and profes-
sion. II is safe to say that without
these two men the chances against the
legation would have been greatly In
creased"

Fri6htful Torture

member Of Austin's colony. was
close enough to speak to her. and I
bade her to be OF good cheer, telling
her that our friends would be sure to

and drank until nearly sunset. and BY
that time many Of the warriors were

THE savages no sooner heard this
remark than they began to yell with
delight. They ran toward the girr. and
three or four drunken warriors seized
and dragged her to the bull. Other
Indians cut me loose from the tree and
forced me along by the side OF the ter
rified girl. They threw US on the back
of the believing beast. and dashed Us
securely TO his body.
BY this time the whole camp was
aroused and eager to witness the tor
lures. Sqaws clapped their hands and
the drunken warriors howied like in
carnate devils. They cut the bull loose
with US dashed to his back. and he
sprang away believing. with blood
and foam flying from his nostrila. The
Indians set out after the maddened
beast, raining arrows and musket balls
at US. The girl swooned with terror.
and abandoned all hope. Fortunate
ly It was late in the evening. and the
frightened bull ran so fast that the
drunken Indians soon lost sight Of
him. When realized this all my en-
ergy and courage returned to me and

fort to save my own and the girls life.

1T is likely that the bull would
have fallen on the prairie from ex-

leased ourselves had II not been that
the bull had run back directly over
the trail the Indians had made. AMI
NAL instinct led him back to the To-

that the vice president elect is not a
