Gary's Brigade In Defence of Fort
Harrison.
BY DR.. A. E. FAINT.

On the 2ssh of Sept, 1864, "our
prophet" came in from the picket
line and intinated a suspicion that
some movement was on foot among
the Yankees. What makes you
think so Bob? 1 asked. Why, says
he: "There were moving artillery,
marching and counter-marching in
our front all night" Being an op-
timist and knowing him to be fond
of looking ON the gloomy side Of
everything, I laughed scornfully at
the idea. Next morning. the 29th-
h4a,nprrauv II rolu you 80, ac-
knowiedged him a true prophet.
Hostilities had begun on the picket
line at three o o'clock, and ct daylight

ST0UCH'S GOOD WORK
Agent Who Is standing Up for Pro-
greSs Of Civilization.

Arapahoe, o. T., Jan 1.-Immediacely
on assuming his position as agent Of the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, Major
stouch notified the district farmer here
that at the expiration Of the then exist
ing leases of the cowmen they should
not he renewed, nor should any new
grazing leases be made to others, but
that the land should be leased only to
farmers who would improve their hold
ings and instruct and encourage the In-
dams in agricultural pursuits. In dis
cussing the matter the Bell says:
'The good results Of that policy IS al
ready manifesting itself in the shape of
a large number of new residences that
are already being built on the allot-
ments along the river. and win be much
more in evidence i'm a few years. when
the great body Of fine agricultural land
along the streams IS put under cultiva-
ton by good farmers and their influence
has had time to manifest itself among
the Indians
"Not only win the Indians be directly
benefited by this change. but the pro
ductlve wealth and taxable property Of
the county VIII be greatly increased
when these all7tments are opened up
as farms the government need have no
further concern as TO the support Of the
Indians"

COFFEE AND SUGAR
ArbueIzIe- Havemeyer war Has Come
to an End.


Toledo Ohio, Jan. THE Times to-
morrow VIII say: Very substantial re-
ports are current that the coffee and
sugar war which has waged so long and
bitterly between the Arbuckle and Have
meyer interests is nearing an adjustment
satisfactory to all parties For four long
years. the Woolson Spice company has
not made an advance in the price Of
roasted coffee It IS now understood that
tomorrow. with an understanding and
the assent Of the Arbuckles, the Woolson
people will order an advance OF one-half
cent per pound in their roasted product
Word also comes through private chan
nels that B. H. Howell & Co., Of New
York, one Of the largest concerns Of its
kind in the country, VIII tomorrow ad-
vance graduated sugar points, bringing
it up to that now quoted by the American
Sugar Refining company, or in other
words. the Havemeyer interests.
Tonight an effort was made to secure
positive statements IN affirmation or de-
NAL, from those who are naturally sup
posed to be in a position to know what IS
going on. James secor Of the woolson
Spice company was asked whether the
report OF an advance was true or not. he
courteOusly declined to say yes or no A
similar experience resulted from an at
tempt TO interview Frederick Brigham
secretary Of the Woolson Spice company
Other individuals who have been either
directly or indirectly identified with the
recent somewhat sensational litigation IN
the courts here. were interrogated, but
none Of them would give either assent or
denial
It was also quite extensively mooted
about the city, among attorneys. that
some Of the recent peculiar tactics en-
pIoyed in the courts were simply the re-
suit Of an understanding, and that suits
would be gradually withdrawn or settled
in such manner as to make it appear
on the surface that no unusual eonces-
sions had been made by either side.

About 5000 people have been received up

stretched four abreast beyond the outer
