| feared. Ovea eco Indians had swarm
| ed down out Of the hills at daybreak
the morning before, and, though they
had lost score of men. the dugout
had been carried by assault and it's
defenders butchered. We waited here
half an hour to give the poor corpses
burial and then pushed on toward
White Horse. 1t was not until we got
within two miles of the station that
our fears were relieved. Then we
heard the reports Of rifles and knew
that the place was still holding out.
| The station was situated about mid
way of long, bare hill To the west
Of it was a coulee, or dry ravine, with
banks 20 feet high. We had with us a
couple of scouts who knew every rod
of the overland trail, and when within
a mile of the station these men were
sent forward to spy out the situation.
They returned after awhile to report
that Spotted Horse and about $50 Of
his "dog soldiers" as the Cheyennes
were called, were laying siege to the
station and had evidently occupied the
ground for two or three days. The
ground around the dugout was so open
that the Indians dared not ''rusR' the
place, nor was there any show to use
key Of powder without reckless ex-
posture. With their allies holding the
trail to the east, the Cheyennes had en-
tered upon siege in hopes to starve
the employees out. Their war ponies
and most Of the band were lying up in
the dry ravine for the night. This ra-
vine had no opening to the south and
was therefore cul de sac.
The first signs of dawn were in the
sky when we saddled up, mounted, and
the whole Of us pushed forward, led
by the scouts, for the mouth of the ra-
vine. We had the Spencer carbines,
each with full magazine, and as we
got the order to charge each man be-
gan shooting. When a carbine was
empty, it was thrown away and a re-
volver used in its place. When the re-
volver was empty, it was cast aside for
the saber. Extended from bank to
bank, we swept up the rayine, and we
had nothing to do but kill. Taken by
surprise, the Cheyennes thought only
Of getting away. We had scarcely got
to work when the eight men who had
been cooped' up in the dugout sailed
out to take hand in, and it was made
the saddest sunrise the Cheyenne tribe
had ever seen. Not pony could es-
cape out Of that trap. Numbers Of the
warriors scrambled up the banks and
got safely away, but nearly every one
left his weapons behind. The fight did
not last above 80 minutes, and our loss
was only three men wounded.
Down in that'ravine we harvested IS
dead Indians, and on the banks above
the stage men counted up % more. We
got upward Of hundred rifles, about
SO pistols, 130 ponies and wagon load
Of miscellaneous stuff. Every Indian
lying there was a dead one. Custer
had said, "Shoot to KILL. and there
were no wounded or prisoners. Among
the killed were Spotted Horse, Big
Moon and White Bird, and that fight
broke the backbone Of the Cheyenne
nation. Their part in the war was to
capture all the stations west of Burn
ing Hill, but they had only taken Paw
nee Flat. They never rode to war
again. Within a week they were SUI
ing for peace, and they were the first
to be gathered on a reservation.

HannineSS.

st was recently party to a discus
sion,'' said a doctor, where the ques-
ton of the nature of happiness arose,
and a certain wise head present was
asked to define it. His reply was so
satisfactory that ! trust you will allow
me to repeat it for the benefit of those
interested.
HE said: Happiness is a state of
mind-more active than contentment.
less pronounced and more abiding than
joyfulness; whose principal and per-
manent source is in a temperament dis
posed to make the best of shat is;
whose immediate occasion is in con-
seriousness which. pleased with the
present, is without acute regret or un-
due apprehension
what better definition could one
have than this ?''-New York Sun.

WHY THEY CHANGE.

The many instances mentioned
in the newspapers of we'll known
men who four years ago helped to
elect Mr.. Mckinley now announc-
ing that they will this year vote
for Mr.. Bryan and do all within
their power to secure his election
naturally causes inquiry as to the
cause Of these numerous changes.
The same thing directs attention
to the notable change that has
taken place since the election Of
1896, and indeed within the last
eighteen months. Not long ago
the admission was made BY Mr..
Hanna that so far from there.

Of $4,000 votes for MI. cKinley

majority. When the Dsmocratic

Oh, Cavalier Co. Republican.
IT will be remembered that
Bryan and his followers claimed
that plenty Of money always made
good times, while q scarcity Of
money always made hard times
and that this is one Of the general
rules to which the history Of the
world furnishes no exception.
Also, that an initiation Of the cur
rency would produce exactly the
same effect as good supply Of
money until the day Of redemp-
ton came, and then there would
come financial panic. Now, this
administration has given us the
greatest imitation Of the currency
we ever had, and have even claim
ed that the amount Of this SO called
ssmoney" is more abundant than
pc really is. We say "so-called
money" because the republican
party has, limited our real money
to gold, Of which we have not more
than one-third enough for q circu-
lating medium. Now the republi-
cans are admitting that Mr.. Bryan
was right, by claiming that altho
they have fastened their money
scheme on the country it will GER
tainly go to ruin and 'bust up if
anybody but Mr.. Mckinley should
be elected to execute the laws they
have made. Republican confidence
i'll the stability of our institutions
and the perpetuity Of our govern
ment amounts to about this: "Give
us the Offices and the country is
safe, turn us out and the whole
thing will go to the "demnition
bow vows . All others believe
that certain policies may bring
disaster, but administration. never.

WHAT has Mckinley done to
turn against him SO many thous-

aided in his election? He has
trampled the Consultation and the
Declaration Of independence
under foot and turned his back
upon the traditions of the repub-
Lie. He has involved the country
in foreign entanglements from
which it will be difficult to With
draw. BE has inaugurated . war

friends. Prominent Democratic
citizens who avoided him Ia 1895
will gather under his standard, as
anxious for his election this year
as they were for his defeat when
he was . candidate before. What
has President Mckinley done to
turn against him SO many thous-
ands Of his fsllow-citizens who
aided in his election? This is the
answer given by the Baltimore
Sun, four years ago a strong
supporter Of Mr.. Mckinley and
now employing ell its great
influence in behalf Of Mr.. Bryan:
He { Kinley) has trampled the
constitution and the Declaration
Of Independence uader foot and
turned his back upon the tradi-
tions Of the republic. He has
involved the country in foreign
entanglements from which it will
be difficult to withdraw. He has
inaugurated q war Of conquest
upon an inoffensive people which
has already continued a year and
q half without results, and bids
fair to continue indefinitely. TO
maintain the unjustwar the people
of the United States are compelled
to provide men and money and to
pay war taxes when there should
be peace. And finally, under this
administration and largely by
virtue of law passed since Mr.. Nc
Kinley became president, trusts

HANNA's CHICAGO SPEECH.

As the most characteristic fea-
ture Of the speeches Of Mark Han
ma is their incoherency, it is hard
to decide precisely what the great
dictator meant when he said in
his Chicago speech:
II would like Mr.. Bryan or any other
Democrat to tell me what a trust is. {
believe there is not trust in the United
States. There is national law, and in
every State there is law against trusts.
They cannot exist, and every law against
trusts, national or State, has been the
product of Republican lawmakers, and
the credit Is due to the Republican
party. I have no objection to the Demo
got any patent on It,"
One thing, however, appears
plainly from this namely incoher-
emit hodgepodge of misstatement
and contradiction. It is that the
republican party, if Mark Hanna
is it's leader and mouthpiece, as
there is every indication that he
is, will not move hand to regulate
trusts or to mitigate the oppres-
sion which they are putting upon
the American people. They will
be allowed to flourish in the
future as they have during the
past four years. They will be
protected by the tariff and hedged
round by the Hanna Kinley
administration from the foreign
competition which would keep
them from becoming oppressive.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-10-04
THEY ARE BEATEN.

The republicans have snapped
horses in the middle Of the stream,
which from present indications
was not wise thing for them to
do. Fancher may have been q
weak sister on the ticket, but
White is another, so that nothing
has been gained, while the move.
betrays lack of confidence in
their cause on the part of the ring
who manipulate republican affairs
in North Dakota to, their own lik-
ing, regardless of the wishes of the.
great mass Of the party voters.
The supporters Of the fusion TIC
ket should take courage and work
more determinedly than ever to Sc
cure it's election. The republican
politicians have as good as con-
fessed that Wipperman had Cover
nor Fancher beaten, and just now
it looks as though White and the
rest Of the combine ticket were on
the run. Anyhow they are scared
and should not be allowed to re-
cover from their fright. All
omens seem suspicious for the
independent who have
thus far fought q good fight.
They are all beaten and not one Of
the crowd ought to be permitted
to pull through. The defeat Of
the gang ticket from top to
bottom would be grand political
achievement and is not impossible.
Keep after them Plaindealer.
