started out across the Indian-infested
wilderness.
The five cavalrymen rode northward
under the starlight. At dawn they
bivouacked, but before the morning
cup of coffee was made they saw
circling on the horizon a swarm of
Cheyennes. The eye of the sergeant
told him that to get through the
circumference of that circle was be-
yond the power of any five men, even
though they were old campaigners of
the Sixth cavalry. With his four fol-
towers he made for little depression
which offered some natural advan-
tages for purposes of defense. There
the five dropped, and with carbines adj
vanced waited the narrowing of the
red cordon's limits. The Cheyennes
charged, and charging sent a volley
into that little prairie stronghold.
There was a hot answer and five Chey-
enne ponies carried dead or wounded
riders out of range, for the braves
were tied to their mounts. Behind the
little natural rampant Sergt. Woodall
was sorely wounded, and one man was
dying. Let Gen. Miles letter tell the
rest of the tale:
"From early morning to dark, out
numbered 25 to 1, under an almost
constant fire and at such short range
that they some times used their pistols,
retaining the last charge to prevent
capture and torture, this little party
of five defended their lives and the
person of their dying comrade, with
out food and the only drink the rain
water that they collected in a pool,
mingled with their own blood. There
is no doubt that they killed more than
double their number besides those
that they wounded. The simple re-
cital of the deeds of the five soldiers
and the mention of the odds against
which they fought, how the wounded
defended the dying and the dying aid
ed the wounded by exposure to fresh
wounds after the power of action was
gone-these alone present scene OF
cool courage, heroism and self-sacri-
flee which duty as well as inclination
prompt us to recognize but which we
cannot fifty honor"
When dusk gathered on the prairie
the Cheyennes literally fed, thrashed
by the sturdy valor of five American
soldiers

On not one instrument, but on

all the world knows, doctor OF mu-
sic of Dublin university, is a charm

mer and harp, and is a pianist OF
superb execution, who has deigned to
play sometimes for sweet charity's
sake. She took lessons from Sir
Charles Halle. among other note
worthy instrumentalists, and at MARI
borough house has pianos in every en-
pertaining room, in some even cou-
pie. Her water colors are little gems
of beauty and artistic feeling, and
especially is she fond of perpetual
ing the wet sunny sweeps of low
lying coast. which possibly appeal &c
her regard as a Danish princess, re-
minding her of the picturesque
scenes of her fathers kingdom.
Like the king, Queen Alexandra is

taught her children to be fond of all
animals and to keep numbers of pets.
The year before last the princess OF
Wales, as she was then, was delight
ed to receive as birthday present
from her husband portraits of her
two pet spaniels, Billee and Punchie,
funny little Chinese and Japanese
dogs of delicate coloring and dainty
physique.
1t is pathetically interesting to
know that the late queen admired
dog miniatures, and month before
she died her two favorite Pomeran-
ians had been painted in one min
iature. Turf and Marco made a very
pretty group, Marco sitting up with
staid and dignified air, and Tur'
lying down with one paw daintily
raised. 1t was Marco for which her
majesty asked when she was lying i'll

tie creature was lifted upon the bed
and nestled up to his mistress for the
last time.

Probably nowhere in authentic his

Der. Maj. w. ii. Carter, of the Sixth,
touches on the incident briefly in his
history of the regiment, but he gives
in full the letter of Gen. Miles, which
is perhaps the most striking testi-
monial TO the heroism of a handful
of enlisted men that was ever penned
by a general commanding a country's
armies.
In August, 1874, says the Chicago
Record-Herald. the Cheyennes, Kiowas
and Comanches were dyeing the Kan
sas border red. An expedition against
them was fitted out at Fort Dodge,
with Gen. Nelson A. Miles in command.
The Indians fled south to the Red
river in Texas, pursued hotly by a

Capts. Compton and Biddle. The
braves of the allied tribes made a
stand on the face of the bluffs of the
Tule river. All told there were GOO
warriors. The meager forces of the
Sixth charged, routed the reds and
drove them "over the bluffs and
through the deep precipitous can
yons, past their burning villages and
out onto the Staked Plains"
1t became necessary to send couriers
to Camp Supply, Ind. 4. The whole
country was swarming with hostiles,
and the trip was one that seemed al
most certain death. Volunteers were
asked for, and Sergt. Zacharia T..
Woodall, troop l, of the Sixth, stepped
forward and said he'd go. The whole
outfit was ready for the service, as
a matter of fact. The commanding Of

Attempt at Arson .

Last FridaynIghttwo determined
attempts were made to burn the
saloon of Douglas Bros. Arthur
Douglas was just closing up when
the first effort was tried He had
blown out all the lights but one
when he noticed q fash Of fire over
the transom OF a rear door. iIastf-
lY going out side he found the side
lof the building all afame. Procur-
ing water he managed to put the
fire out before It had done more
than blacken the wall of the build
ing. An examination showed that
a lot Of chips, shavings, etc, had
been piled up alongside the building
and then thoroughly saturated
with coal oil. This when lighted,
made the big blaze which had at
tracted Arthurs attention. Several
people gathered at the place and
thorough examination made, but no
trace of the party was found.
After the search all repaired to the
sidewalk in front and while talking
the matter over, noise was heard
again at the back of the building.
The eight or ten men, who were
present, Immediately divided in-
to two parties and started around
the building. One Of the party
saw the frebug running toward the
open lot back of the saloon. Just
back of the place is hole, used by
masons to mix morter in, and into
this the culpit fell, dropping a
small lard bucket filled with coal
oil He quickly scrambled to his
Feet, and started towards Washing
,on street with several in pursuits
In the darkness, however, he cs.
'aped. The lard bucket, when
picked up, still had half pint of
oil in it, showing that the party
lad come back a second time to
the work, which had at
irst failed.
Opinions vary as to whether the
oarty was a woman dressed in mems
clothes, or man. Certain it Is
hat, whoever it was, they were de-
ermined in their efforts to burn the
place. Had they succeeded in set
ing fire to the saloon all that part
If Montpelier north of Washington
street would probably have burned
Ilso.
Up to this writing there are few
'lues as to the perpetrator but the
officials are quietly working on the
'ase with the hope of bringing the
'ailty party to justice.

Cuts -Four Mills.

There is pretty good understanding
between the three bodies. the board OF
county commissioners, the city council
and the school board, that there will be
a reduction on the rate OF levy, which
all have agreed is too high.
The finance committee Of the oity
council met with the school board last
night. The board agreed to reduce their
rate from thirteen mills to nine mills.
The council was in session this afternoon
for few minutes and then in a body
went to tho city water rerervoir for an
examination. What they did about th
levy could not be ascertained, but it is
generally understood that the city and
county will agree to last years rate
which they think will provide about the
