THE slsDtRs-cARrtR CONTROVERSY.

Col. Sanders has again emptied his
walls of wrath upon Senator Carter. In
nine columns of the Helena Herald he
speaks an infinite deal of nothing,
more than any man - His reasons
are his two grains of wheat hid in two
bushels of chat; you shall seek all day
ere you find them: and when you have
them they are not worth the search"
Imprimis, Col. Sanders is in bad com
pany. II he is a rue Republican land
we do not doubt that he isl he is mar
velously indiscreet, TO say the least, in
giving aid and comfort to the Herald
in its slanderous and hypocritical at
tacks upon senator Carter. It is gen
orally believed that the Herald IS sail
ing under false colors. OStensibly a
Republican newspaper. il is in reality
owned and managed 10 the interest Of
W. a. Clark. This isl sufficient rca-
son why Il Republican should not
countcnancc 1t In any way,
The AEUCs regrets exceedingly the
giraffe proceedings of Col, Sanders in
this matter. lie is a man whom the
Republicans of Montana have lie
lighted to honor. II iscauSe for regret
that. after u lifetime of strenuous ser
vice Ia his party, he should, in his old
age, lend his aid to the Herald in its
trcachcrou> and mcrcenary effort to
disrupt that party.
The futility of his effort to discrcdit
senator Carter Is apparent to all. Since
the last attack upon him senator Car
ter has received the unanimous vote of
the Republican members of the lcgisla-
ture. This vote is heartily endorsed 10y
the Republicans Of this county. at least,
in recognition of the distinguished SER
vices of Senator Carter to the state of
Montana. II his enemies wish To dis
credit him with us they must make good
some Of their many assertions. This
they do not even attempt to do. Their
attacks are all verbiage and venom,
without the semblancc of proof.

in hot pursuit.
Shelton came in and shouted /:
"Get your guns, boys Get
ready to shoot p Every man
went for his rife. But upon
nearing the camp, McCaleb, who
was bald-headed, dotted his hat
and disclosed his identity. The
visitors came into camp, and
made themselves at home. They
had seen no sign of Indians, but
had heard that hostile reds had
been in that vicinity, and he
came to protect those whose lives
were endangered in his service.
One of the party remarked to
McCaleb Jesse, its a good
thing you came to help u.s." To
this he replied II don't know
whether it is or not"
We yoked up, drove three miles
farther, and went into camp for
the night. We slept upon ou1
blankets, without q guard, be-
lieving there were no Indians in
the immediate country. Next
morning, our stock had strayed
off, and while Irv. Harrington
and / got breakfast, the rest
went after the animals. Nc.
Caleb's party went for the hors

about on his horse, running gen
orally on the farther side. Ev-
erybody in the corral shot at
him, but couldn't bring him
down. Joe Raney was one OF
the finest marksmen | ever saw,
but he sent a dozen bullets at
this mark without effect. We
had to shoot through small holes,
which gave us a decided disad-
vantage. 1t was inferred that
this ride around camp had been
to induce some one of us to ex-
pose his head, for the benefit of
the sharpshooters outside.
During the remainder of the
afternoon, all was quiet. We
kept up our vigils, however,
without intermission, and finally
night settled down, leaving only
a dim moonlight by which to
scan the stretch of sage brush
where lay the foe. About nine
in the evening, the stiffness was
broken by faint cry, as of a coy
ote, a great way off. The cry
was repeated again and again,
each time sounding nearer. Then
other coyotes joined the band
and as they approached very
near to camp, their dismal bark
was suddenly changed into a
war-whoop of terrific force, and
the Indians rushed to a charge
upon the corral.

the morning, and until McCaleb's
death | sometimes felt fear. But
the time of fear was past, and
surely at this moment we had no
time to do anything but shoot.
Yet there was not man of oul
squad but who believed the enc
had come. We shot as fast as
we could, in the direction of the
sound, trusting to make the fusil
: ade so hot as to turn the attack
In this we were successful, for
the tumult and shouting died,
and the enemy fled to cover.
About II O'Clock the charge
was repeated from the river side,
the enemy approaching under
cover of our cattle, driving the
) animals to the corral. But we
! did not see the Indians, they Civ

ton.
After the noisesome attack
which we had repealed by a ter

Some of their band spoke goot

was not yet 8 o'clock. Hearing
our report, all hands set at once
to work arranging the defenses.
Shelton always corralled in a
straight wing. We first formed
the corral, by drawing the wag-
ons in parallel courses, placing
the trailer of each successive
wagon even with the adjacent
wagon, this done, we threw down
ox-yokes and sacks of flour for
breastworks, McCaleb taking
charge Of the work.
Jesse McCaleb had been a lieu
tenant in the confederate army
and had served on Gen. Prices
staff. He had been in 36 engage
ments during the civil war, and
possessed a good general knowl-
edge of military affairs. More
over, his character for bravery
had been tried, and found sub
stantial. Every man worked, and
though under orders, each con-
structed his own defense. Nc
Caleb had the best works of all,
four feet high. Treloar had but
two ox-yokes and sack of -four
for protection.
While the work was yet unfin-
ished, few Indians came down
on point in front of us and hal.
loed "Joe, can we come into
camp?" This was said partly in
broken English, and we didn't
know which Joe they were ad
dressing. Joe Raney, the half
breed answered, mo p then
took a shot at them, resting his
gun on wagon wheel. The ball
cut dirt among them. and they
scattered to the hills, apparently
t, moving to the right. They be-
gan to creep down ravines to ge
, nearer, and opened fire upon us
:, The works were still unfinished
but we had to face the fire as WE
we're. The Indians saw Treloar's
pile of yokes, and knew mar
was there. They shot under The
, pile, hoping to get a glancins
ball into the man, but the bullets
i. passed entirely under his body

McCaleb's port holes, between
the sacks, were too small TO

DEATH OF A NOTED WOMAN, EMPRESS
VICTORIA FREDERICK OF GERMANY.

"Her royal and imperial highness,
the Dowager Empress Frederick of
Germany" died last week. She was
the widow of Emperor Frederick
William of Germany, and mother of
the reigning Kaiser Wilhelm II. She
was the eldest daughter of the late
Queen Victoria of England and was
born Princess Royal of Great Britain
and Ireland and Duchess of SAKE,
November d, 1910. She was chris
tened Victoria Adelaide. She was
eleven months and twelve days
older than her brother, Albert
Edward, now King Edward VII. of
England.
Princess Victoria was married
January %, 1853, to Prince Freder-
lex William of Prussia, then crown
prince of Germany, by whom she
had seven children, of whom five,
besides the present emperor, sur
vive.
Crown Prince Frederick became
emperor of Germany on the death
of his father in March, 1888, but
he was then slowly dying of
cancer of the throat, and he
died June 18th, 1888, after a
nominal reign of three months,
every moment of which was full of
agony, both mental and physical.
His empress remained by his side
and devoted herself to alleviate his
sufferings. At his death she be-
came the dowager empress and her
son became emperor.
Empress Victoria Frederick was
thus the daughter of a queen and
empress, the mother of an emperor,
the wife and widow of an emperor
and the sister of Il king and empe-
ror-a record which has seldom
been equalled in the worlds history.
