now the firing was loud and lively.
Down by the swift flowing stream the
tethered horses of the cavalry plunged

up their irrepressible bray. For five
minutes there was clamor, but no con-

CHAPTER xIx.

That night there was rejoicing at the
new stockade. For over q week not
courier had managed to slip through
in either direction. Alarmed for the
safety Of the little garrison, the com
handing officer of the post away up at
the gorge Of the Big Horn river had
sent two troops of cavalry to scout the
slopes Of the mountains and look into
the state of affairs at Warrior Gap
They found countless fresh pony
tracks all along the foothills east of
the Greasy Grass and In the valleys of
the .s--any forks of the Dele Agie--the
Grow name for Tongue riyer-but not
an Indian did they see. They marched
In among the welcoming officers and
men at the bustling post to find them
selves hailed as heroes. We've been
cut off from the world for at least ten
days. said the commandant. Our
couriers have been killed, captured or
driven back. Even our half-breed
scouts refuse to make further trial.
They say Red Clouds people cover the
land in every direction. Our wood
choppers only work under heavy guard.
The contractors. freighters and work.
men threaten to strike unless they get
their money. The sutler refuses them
further credit. The quartermaster has
paid out every cent and says his requi-
aition for $4,000 was ordered filed, and
the money ought to have been here
week ago. All win have to stop Il the
money doesn't come. We're safe
enough. The Sioux don't dare come
within range OF our breechloaders.
But we can't finish the barracks in time
for winter at this rate"
stout-hearted soldier was the COM
manding officer at Warrior Gap. He
had with him now four strong com.
panies OF infantry and troop OF horse.
He had, he said, but one anxiety, so far
as holding the fort was concerned
some few Of the officers and quite
number OF the soldiers. as has been
told, were burdened with their wives
and children. II these could only be

his Capital was soon Increased so
That He Could spare S1OG
for a Church.

"Circus people, as arule, are the best
travelling class railroads have to deal
with said George b. Krctsinger, OF the
Kansas City Southern, who has had
much to do with such combinations,
says the Kansas City World They
are always found to be close fgurers,
presenting a million and one conten-
tions, asking as many, If not more
courtesies, but in the end the results
are generally satisfactory to both
parties.
1T is only within the last few years
that railroads began handling circus
outfits. The country road and wagon
once afforded a cheap method Of trans
portation between small towns where
nickels, dimes and quarters rarely
failed. to be taken in by the hatful.
Those not on country roads we're found
on the large rivers, shifting their dates
to suit the seasons, all the way from st,
Ppul and Cincinnati to Cairo, ILL.,, and
New Orleans. The late Col. Dan Rice,
who probably pleased more people 40
clown than any other sawdust king,
was striking figure among the per-
forming river craft, and one Of the first
to put his show on the rails.
This was back in 70, when panic
swept over the country and river towns
had hit the sky, right and left, for the
show business Rice and his animals
were tied up at st. Louis, waiting for
times to grow better, when trading
firm offered a good lump sum for his
boats. He figured 1t was GO broke in
almost any event, so he sold, and then
began to tour eastward with train OF
borrowed cars. It was q big undertake
ing, even for Rice, who was about the
richest ia the business in those days,
but everything went reasonably well
until he started to enter Indiana. The
last Illinois town was rotten. The
show had hardly made animal meat
to say nothing Of the money to get to
another stand. As a last resort Col
Rice soaked the show to the railroad
company to put him into Vincennes,
just over the state line, agreeing that
the company's agent there should play
doorkeeper and hold out what was com
ing. Vincennes did not look a whit
good The town was dead and the in.
habitants wouldn't enthuEe a bit over
the bum band and bright-colored wag-
ons. An hour before the afternoon per-
Torrance was to begin found Col Rice
pacing in front Of the main entrance,
figuring with himself for dear life,
when party Of ladies approached.
".Col. Rice they began, we have al
ways heard Of you as very charitable
gentleman and. unfortunately, our
church has been damaged and needs
new root. We thought you might be
willing to subscribe toward IT,
sThere was man who had inst
stood up a railroad asked to give money
away, but he was equal to the occasion
when he pulled from his pocket
nickel and poising II on his finger re-
piled:
Ladies', am now balancing cash

doubt. but in truth represents all the
money possess. II this show does any

toward repairing youT church. but I'll

"The two performances that day
netted the old man $3.50. paid for tho
next jump. and out OF it was donated
500 to the church.

TOUNITE REFORMERS
THE UToPIANs IN SESSION AT DE-
TROIT.
SEVERAL PANACEAS OFFERED.
TOM JOHNSON ADVOCATES EQUAL
TAXATION.

Direct Taxation Advocated as n
Cure-AH for Social and Economic
Evils and the Cooperative
System as the Remedy for Present
Economic ConditIOns-Labor Must
Become the Political Master. Said
Private Hands the Greatest Evil
of the Day, Said Tom johnson.
Detroit, June 2S.-"Uniication of re-
form forces and organizations in it's
various phases was the subject discussed
at to-nights meeting of the Second Ma
tional Social and Political Conference.
Prof. Seely of Ohio University, the first
speaker, advocated direct legisla ton, the
adoption of which he said, would result
in reforming all the social and economic
evils that exist at present. H. Gaylord
Wiltshire, of Los Angeles, CAL, argued
for the cooperative system as against
the present competitive wage system, and
asserted that three years from now the
cooperative system will be recognized as
the remedy for the present economic con-
ditions, and will be generally adopted.
Prof. w. E. Bemis of New York dis
cussed THE Place of Trades Unions in
Reform Movements"
He said:
"In order to progress socially and eco
nomically we must educate and organize,
and l think that the unions are giving
men lessons that will help greatly in or
ganizing the Masses
Discussing Prof. Bemis' paper. Rev.
Mills of Chicago said that labor must
follow the example of the great trusts
and by becoming political masters of the
country, make themselves an international
factor.
Il am one of those" said Mayor Tom L.
johnson, of Cleveland, at the opening
session to-day, who believe that the
greatest evil threatening this country to-
day is monopoly in private hands"
Mr.. johnson thought that the cure for
monopoly was equal taxation and said;
1.-The day that the evils of taxation in
this country are cured, the day that all
classes of men pay the same rate of tax
alton, is the day that this country will
be able to control these monopolies."

Hanover, Prussia. June 2S.-Fournier
was again first 90 arrive at the end. here,
of the days stage of the motor race. De-
Kuyff was second and Girardol was third.
Fournier thus adds to the Grand Duke of
Luxembourg's prize. which he won yes
terday, the reward offered by Hanover
for the quickest journey from Paris to
Hanover.
Fournier arrived her at 2:lS p. m, hav-
ing done go miles in nine hours. seven
minutes and thirty-nine seconds. He
practically led his competitors all the
way from AK la Chapelle. At Cassel.
Girardot got in front of F'ournier, and in
the struggle for the leadership the two
cars collided and a boy was injured. Four
nier then took and maintained the lead
ership into Hanover. Beyond the acci-
dent at Cassel and a couple of punctures
in the tires of his car, Fournier had no
mishap and his machine is in good order.
He is thought to have a good chance of
winning the race, although Antony and
deKnyn are running him very close.

Town.
Panther. w. Va, June 2S,-Peter Price,
a negro, cornered in a house by deter
mined band OF infuriated citizens, bent on
melting summary justice to him, charged
with insulting a lady, in his desperate
efforts to escape, cut and killed George
Hooks and f. NJ. McGran. and seriously
cut Charles Davis.
The murder occurred at lager, a small
town five miles south of here. Price, on
seeing his pursuers. took refuge in a small
room in the rear of a saloon. The mob
battered down the door and as they en-
tered the room, Price threw himself at
them with the ferocity of tiger, with
knife in each hand. Hooks and Nc
Gran fell to the floor. Two revolvers in
the crowd were discharged at Price, in
flicting but slight wounds With one
desperate swing of his knife he laid open
Davis abdomen and then leaped from
the window. He was pursued and cap
tured by officers, who hurriedly sent him
to the Jail at Welch to avoid the ven
geance of the infuriated populace. Hooks
and McGran were both well-known citi-
zens and indignation runs high.

Washington, June 2S.-The application

P. Ingham and ex-Assistant District At
torney Harvey hewitt. who were convict
ed and sentenced to two and half years
Imprisonment for their connection with
the famous Jacobs counterfeiting cases
in Pennsylvania several years ago, have
been denied by the President. THESE app
pications were fled with the Attorney
General some time ago, but neither the
trial judge nor the district attorney, whose
recommendations unusually accompany pc
titions for executive clemency, made rec
ommenda tions In this case. The district
attorney, however, made a report OF the
facts. Cases In this connection usually
die in the Department OF Justice, but
owing TO the fact that they excited a
great deal of public interest, the Prssi-
dent requested that the Attorney General
go over the papers and send them to him.
This was done several days ago, and af
ter the cabinet meeting to-day, the AT
torney General announced that the Presi-
dent had refused to extend executive
clenency. Ingham and hewitt have serv-
ed two years OF their sentences.

To stop AutomobiIe Racing.

Paris, June 29.-The morning papers
mostly comment unfavorably on the in-
tention of M Waldeck- Rousseau, the pre-
mier. expressed in the Chamber of Depu-
ties yesterday, to put stop to automo-
bile racing. The papers consider such ac-
tion likely to injure a promising French
industry.
The Figaro deprecates the proposed
measure and asserts that in all the auto
mobile races which have taken place in
France only once was any one injured
and recalls the campaign against bicycles
when they were first introduced. The
paper further says that automobiles are
meeting the same opposition and would
certainly attain a similar triumph.

NO NEWSPAPER PASSES.
Alabama Delegate Proposes TO stop

Montgomery, Ala, June 2s.-Delegate
Reynolds of Chiffon introduced a resolu-
tion in the Constitutional Convention
this morning providing that no newspa-
per in this state or representative there
of, shall receive or accept a pass or 9TH
er free transportation from any rail-
road company doing business within the
state; that a newspaper, in the event
that 1t or its representatives receive and
accepts and uses transportation or free
passes, shall be fined not less than $5,-
900 for each violation of this section, and
that said railroad company who itself
or through its agent issues such person
transportation shall be fined like
amount for each violation thereof
He based the ordinance on the ground
that the newspapers were recognized as
great instruments for the public good.
and II they accepted passes they would
feel under obligations to the railroads.

TWO MORE BODIES FOUND.
Railroad and Telegraph Lines Being
Replaced I'm Flood Section.

Bluefield, W. Va, June 2s.-Two bodies
were found in pile of drift at Landgraff
to-day. They were found by workmen
clearing away the debris. The bodies
were so decomposed that identification
was impossible. and they were promptly
burned.
Great progress is being made in re-
pairing the damage to railroad tracks.
Passenger trains are run between points
where the track has been repaired, but
there are at least forty miles not yet COM
pieted. This IS 3;;c . the breaks IN
bridges but 1t is expected that the line
win be in shape for a train to get
through tomorrow. A number of coal
companies resumed work to-day, and
loaded over 200 cars. Rainstorms continue
to visit this section, and while they do
not cause very high water they delay
work on repairs. There is no suffering.
but some feel the loss of all their accu-
mutations, and 1t will mean years of
hard work to replace them.
The telegraph lines have been gotten
up as far as Vivian. 1t was more diff
cult to run this line than Vt was to con-
struct It at first. as in many places the
flood washed the earth to the bedrock
and poles could not be set.
Near Gray eight Hooking Valley box
cars, used in the coke trade between
the Thacker field and Chicago. were
washed from the West Virginia side
across Tug river into Kentucky.

The Law of Associations Adopted by

Vote of BIB to 249.
Paris, June 2S-The premier, NJ Wal
deck-Rousseau. has carried the most I'M
portant project of his ministry, the law
of associations bill, which now only
awaits the signature of President Loubet
to become law.
The Chamber of Deputies tonight, in
a single session, definitely adopted the
bill, as amended by the Senate, by S13
20 24S votes. Several attempts were
made by the opposition and socialists to
again amend the bill, but the chamber
In every case supported the ministry.
The Abbe Gayraud, Catholic Republican,
said the law would remain a stigma of
shame and opprobrium upon the govern
ment. The Able Gayraud was called to
order
Count Albert de Nun declared the bill
to be the beginning of a war against
Catholicism.
M. Ribot said he would not support the
bill because twas inspired by a policy
of hatred. The premier replying said the
law would be applied vigorously, but not
in spirit of persecution. The vote on
the bill was greeted by prolonged Leftist
applause and shouts of "Vive la Repub-
liquer'
