Interest.
They Will "Break Camp" on
Saturday.

The fair grounds at Twentieth street
and Topeka avenue presents a war-like
appearance today. Just north Of the
race course is a row of Sibley tents
stretched in a straight line from east to
west, and to the westward of the Sibley
tents lie the tents used as the officers
quarters OF the Seventh Battery Of Ar
tiIlery from Fort Riley
The Battery consists of twelve cannon
and the necessary number of men to
work them. the officers, cooks and other
help.
As the detachment moved into the fair
grounds and went towards the place
designated for their camp, each section
fell into place in a row, and the tents
were pitched beside the cannon while
other men took care OF the six horses
which are used to haul each section.
In an Incredibly short time the tents
were all pitched in a row, with the can
non covered with canvas in another row
just north OF the tents and the horses
picketed and eating in another row just
north of the cannon.
A picket guard was soon stationed
around the camp and the soldiers given
leave of absence to go into town to en-
JOY themselves

the Alaskan boundary question had
not been eliminated. but was the
very forefront of the negotiations
In Justice TO Canada and in justice to
Newfoundland it was necessary that
the commission should resume. If the
sittings failed Canada would have to
consider the question of revising its re-

said it was important for all concerned
that the Alaskan boundary should be
definitely settled If the CON mission
failed to reach a settlement and the
American and the Canadian conten-
tons were so far apart that the pre-

settlement would be reached and if a

at then there must be arbitration.

AN INCIDENT OF WAR.
Act of HerOism Performed by Gen.
Chaffee, Then Major, Under
Hot Fire.

One of the chapters of Gen. Chat
fees diary deals with the fight of the
big Dry Wash,' in the summer of
1882, a fight the memory of which is
cherished by cavalrymen as one of
tie most gallant displays of their
| arm of the service. About $50 White
mountain Apaches, who had taken to
the warpath, were on one side of a
canyon in the Mongollon plateau.
The Kansas City Star tells the story
of an act of heroism performed that
day by Chaffee, then a major:
Maj. Chaffee, with pursuing troop
of the Sixth cavalry, held the summit
of a rocky hill commanding the en-
trance to the canyon. The battle
went on for hours. One of the scouts
! fellsOme twoscore yards from the pot
where Chaffee was standing. A sec
ond scout at Chaffee's elbow re-
marked that the fallen man was done
for, but the major saw that he was
! only wounded.
"Come along" said he, land We'll
fetch him in.''
Then he threw himself fiat on the
ground and crawled toward the
wounded soldier. The scout followed.
Slowly and painfully Chaffee and his
companion, in the face of concen-
trated fire from all the Indians,
wormed their way to the wounded
man, and half-carrying, half-drag-
ging him, brought him back within
the lines.
The handful of troopers on the
rock, thrilled with the deed that had
been performed, forgot the task in
hand, stopped fighting and began to
cheer. This made Chaffee furious,
and he shouted at the top of his
voice:
stop that noise and go to snoot-
ing!"
Thus recalled to the work of fight
ing Indians, Chaffee's men again
turned their attention to their car
bines, and having been relieved in the
nick of time by two troops of the
Third cavalry, they slowly fought the
foe to a standstill. Tie Apaches, al
most to a man, were killed or cap
tured. Chaffee was breveted q lieu
tenant colonel for this days work,
and in 1897 the brevet became a COM
mission.
