Of Kubu's dilemma, and his n~eighbors came
running from all directions. Their attitude
toward the Sheriff and the officers who 40
c~ompanied him was SO threatening, that
another pair Of guardians Of tho peace was
sent for. BY the time they arrived upon
the scene Of action the posse was i've men
strong.
Poor Kubu realized his awful plight with
this overwt Ginning force against him. With
arms outstretched he posted himself before
his stable door to protect the cattle within.
The two burly policemen tried to handcufR
him. but failed. Ono of the officers drew his
saber and swung 1t above Kubu's head.
Don't strike him. shrieked Mrs Kubu,
and threw herself between the murderouD
weapon and her husband.
As the blow descended II struck her hand,
completely severing a finger.
The same blow. in its misguided aim, al
SO injured tho hand of one of the police
men.
Two of the men took position at q dis
lance Of two yards from Kubu and threat
ened to shoot him unless he made imme-
diate surrender.
His wife's bleeding hand maddened Kubu
to frenzy. He bounded into the stable and
out again, brandishing q hay fork above
his head.
You can take these oxen only over my
dead body" ha shrieked.
Mrs Kubu snatched the FORK. the sharp
tines Of which were dangerously near the
body Of the oficer.>and again placed herself
in front of her husband to protect him from
the bullets or die with him.

Journey In a few days which required five
times as long for breckenridge and his
companions. Had the advance party re-
manned closely on the Rio Grande River tho
life OF King would have been saved. They
missed the Indians By crossing from one
bend o: the river TO another.
Tho Red River settlement was tho first
human habitation reached. The last effort
of forty miles proved to be the most painful
OF all for Williams. Kreutzfeldt and Breck-
enridge. Their frozen feet gave out, and
they were kindly received by the Mexicans.
their wounds were bathed with juniper tea
and strength was gradually restored. For
three weeks the struggling members Of the
expedition were brought into the settlement.
Eleven Of the party died before aid could
be extended. and the experience OF the win-
ter left scars upon thu remainder which
could not be effaced.
Fremont, In his brief account Of the Jour-
ney down the Rio Grands River, says that
after meeting the three men they were car
ried to the Red River settlement by the aid
Of the horses. Breckenridge denies this
statement. and in the course OF his life often
spoke Of 1t as false. He claimed that the
condition OF the horses and the supreme i'm
portance Of extending assistance to
members Of the party worse on than the
Williams party made It necessary for Free
mont to press forward with all possible
diligence. h Journey Of forty miles on

Tho answer may be as follows: The

even Fremont In his widest imaginations
could not hope to overcome. A surging

years ago that no railway engineer could
have surmounted. Tho day of hanging

the glory Of Old Fort Bent passed into
history. A new fort was erected by Bent
forty miles up the river. This fort had a

Of the Government in 1859.
At Fort Bent. Fremont was told by trap

ally deep IN the mountains and a severe
winter was at hand. This was on the 18th
of November and the snow-covered peaks
as seen from the fort confirmed the re-
port.

out to him by his friends that he would
have to pass through the country of the

them. But the Pathfinder" while he lis

Judge Irwin, who recently held court
at Chehalis for Judge Rice, rendered a
decision OF some Importance to mill
owners in the case OF Lang VS.. the Cen
tralia Single Mill Company, says the
Cheha:is Advocate. Lang was in tire
empl " OF the company as band sawyer
and while so employed the thumb and
first two fingers OF his left hand were
cut off. Lang sned the company for six
thousand dollars damages and alleged in
his complaint that it was the duty OF the
company to have guarded the band saw,
and also to have supplied the same with
a movable carriage or self feed. To this
com plant the attorneys for the company
filed demurrer, and contended that
there was no duty imposed by law upon
the company to supply the saw with a
movable carriage or self feed and that the
plaintiff took the risk OF being injured
when he entered the employ OF the
company. After lengthy arguments on
both sides, Judge Irwin sustained the
demurrer and dismissed the plaintiffs
complaint
