CHAPTER v.

Mid June had come, and there was
the very devil to pay = so said the
scouts and soldiers up along the Big
Horn. But scouts and soldiers were
far removed from the states and cities
where news was manufactured, and
those were days in which our Indian
outbreaks were described in the press
long after, instead of before, their oc-
currence. Such couriers as had got
through Frayne brought dispatches
from the far-isolated posts along that
beautiful range, insisting that the
Sioux were swarming in every valley.
Such dispatches, when wired to Wash
ington and referred" to the depart
ment of the interior and re-referred to
the head of the Indian bureau, were
scoffed at as sensational.
"Our agents report the Indians peace
ably assembled at their reservations.
None are missing at the weekly dis
tribution of supplies except those who
are properly accounted for as out on
their annual hunt" The Officers -
said the papers, "seem to take the real
Indian in every bush" and unpleasant
things were limited at the officers in
consequence.
Indians there certainly were in other
sections, and they were unquestion-
ably raising the devi1'' along the
Smoky Hill and the Southern plains,
and there the interior department in
sisted that troops in strong force
should be sent. So, too. along the line
of the Union Pacific. Officials were still
nervous. Troops of cavalry camped at
intervals of forty miles along the line
between Kearney and Julesburg. and
even beyond. At Washington and

DISAPPEARANCE
Cattle Kings Mortgage Is Passed
Upon by United States Court
of Appeals.

Circuit Judges Thayer and Sauborn and

opinions yesterday in the United States Cir

An echo of the disappearance of Grant

oped in the case of f. l.. Buckingham.
plaintiff in error. against A. c. Dake and
E. A. Keller.
buckingham claimed title to 3I1 head Of
steers. under a chattel mortgage given by
Gillett November Is, 1898. as security for a
promissory note of Sl5.O6O.93. payable De-
cember 3. 1898. TO Thomas TrOwers & Sons,
and conveyed TO the firm of Dake & Keller.
Buckingham had possession OF the cattle,
having purchased them from Gillett.
After the disappearance of Gillett. Dake
& Keller brought a replevin suit, in which
they were successful. The judgment of the
court was in their favor for possession, in
default of which Buckingham must pay
them sl3,so0.11. The decision of the lower
court was affirmed.
Holding that consistent and notorious CO.
habitation contaminated marriage without
any ceremony Judge Adams reversed the
decision of the lower court. which had
awarded $500 damages for alleged breach
of promise on the part of a nan who had a
common-law wife.
The plaintiff. Rose Pryor. alleged that
Samuel T. Davis. for whom she had worked
as a housemaid in the Indian Territory
promised to marry her, explaining that ne
had never legally married the woman who
had been known as Mrs. Davis since 1881.
On Davis's failure TO keep the alleged
promise, Miss Pryor brought suit for 5000
and was awarded 500. This judgment was
reversed yesterday on the grounds that as
Davis was a married man he could not
marry again. The case was remanded for
retrial in the lower court.

justifying the shooting. Deputy Boogher ar
gued with them, but to no avail. he SAID

Missouri-Kansas Miners Find New

REPI BLIC SPECIAL.
Joplin, Mo. Nov. 25.-The beginning of the

rated during the past week. the Missouri

ing four cars 10 be billed direct to Antwerp
The actual work of loading the ore had
scarcely begun before there was evidence
OF an upward tendency in the market.
Wednesday the Edgar Zinc Company pur-
chased, on an order by wire, one lot of ore
compri sing about 400 tons. The price was
not made public. but it is rumored that it
was equal to SIS per ton for 60 per cent zinc.
IT may be noted here that the assay basis
Is cutting such a sorry inquire In prices on
ore above 60 per cent zinc tnat it is no longer

Tn highest price reported paid was $50 per
ton on three lots. each on a straight bid.

for moisture, making a clean price. On ore
assaying Under 60 per cent zinc there is still
some Snow OF buying on the assay basis.
and Tor these grades the price is S6 for 90
per cent, with a deduction of 81 for each
unit under so. and 81 for each / per cent Of
iron contents. Even on these grades there
Is no uniformity to a fixed basis, nor in the
deductions for moisture or iron. The mar

assay basis was introduced about a year
ago.
Lead ore sold generally at $3.50 per ton,
but one lot was reported sold at sS per ton.
A year ago lead brought $40 and zinc $3.50
