My hope of fair treatment was shat
tered even before was pulled out of the
mire. l was recognized as Cuban
scout. and the men told me that l was
saved from the mire that might be shot
later on.
Almost the first man we met inside the
defenses was the Spaniard who had been
run out OF Carcass camp. He was IN
citizens dress, but seemed to be per-
son of considerable note and authority.
The Spanish force consisted of 700 men,
and after the m're had been scraped Oft
my legs and 1 had been given a bite to
eat l was taken to the quarters of the
| colonel.
He made short work of my case. l was
scout according to all rules of war.
and should have been treated as a pris-
| oner of war; but when the spy had re-
| lated what had occurred at Garca's
camp two weeks before. the colonel said:
You may take him and do as you
will with him. only l want to hear of his
| death before noon. Away with him."
Under directions from the spy, the
guards crossed the camp with me an I
bound me to tree in standis post

with rope and though NOR" than a hun

| even detect a look of s; mpathy. BY and
by the spy cleared a lane for himself
and took his station about twenty feet
in front of me. He had javelin. which
! had been captured from the Cubans and
! he opened business by darling it at me.
! He had probably never hurled one in his
| life before. as he missed me four times
in succession. Then he wounded me III
the shoulder and drew blood from my
neck.
! After that he changed the javelin for
a long, heavy knife, and he was more at
home with that He repeatedly struck
| the tree within an inch Of my head, and
made such good play that he was heart
lily applauded. He could have sent the
knife to my heart at any throw, but he
was playing the torturer and having his
revenge.
| After half an hours practice the knit
was discarded for a rifle. and he soon
| proved that he was a skilled nlarksman
! Backing off to a distance Of 20 yards he
fired a score of bullets to make half
circle around my head, and yet none of
them touched me.
With javelin. knife and rifle he tor
tured me for an hour and then gleefuliy
announced that was to be placed with
my feet at a camp fire until l betrayed
Garca's numbers and whereabouts.
Men We're already untying me when a
force of Cubans attacked the camp
threw it into confusion for half an hou,
and rescued me and killed and wounded
over a hundred of our foes. One of the
dead was the spy. He was heaping log:
on camp fire to give me a roasting
when bullet laid him low.

Robbers We're Scared Away Before

Valley City, N. D., Nov. H., 3p. m.
"A bus load of passengers en- route to
the 500 depot were held up last even
ing at 7 O'Clock on hill near the
depot in the northern portion OF the
city. The robbers secured $3.50 and a
gold watch. There were six men in
the party. When the order to throw
up hands was given, Attorney Lee
Coombs Of this city slipped from the
seat where he was riding with the
driver and hurrying to a house
nearby he telephoned the police. The
driver informed the robbers some Of
whom were busy making the passen.

telephoned and the men hurriedly
left. They had robbed about one
third of the II passengers. The men
wore handkerchiefs over their faces.
Three men were arrested while at

have been positively identified as be-

Stark was asleep and failed to get of.

lutly no danger to the residents OF the
neighborhood. A high board efence
will be built around the house with a
gate which will be kept securely lock-
ed. 1t can hardly be expected of Of
ficials to give the petition Of the resi-
dents of the third ward much thought
for the reason that they want the
pest house removed from the city
limits. We have had number of
smallpox cases in the city in the past
and, according to the theory of the
petitioners, we should have removed
quarantined houses and occupants
from the city, for a quarantined house
is practically the same as pest house.
The detention house will be equipped
with all modern conveniences, includ-
ing electric lights and telephone so
that anyone of our citizens who may
become afflicted with contagious d.
sease will not he entirely shut of

Crawford OF Binghampton, N. Y. has
returned to her home in Hastings,
Neb., her husband having secured a
divorce in a remarkable manner. He
placed a phonograph in his wife's bed
room and the record lwas introduced
in court TO prove that there was a CO
respondent. The record was so plain
that not only was the conversation
entirely audible, but the voices Of the
two were recognized. The court ad-
mitted the evidence and ordered the
record placed on file with the other
papers, and then issued the divorce.

Cars Scarce for Lumber and Coal.

A Chicago trade journal devoted to
the coal and lumber business says,
November 5, that the cold weather
has increased the demand for coal,
both for local and outside points, to
such an extent that deliveries cannot
be made fast enough. The car supply
amounts to a famine in many districts
all over the country, and all roads are
short of coal cars, both east and west.
In the east there has been a forced
shut down of large manufacturing
plants because of the inability to get
fuel. Cars are scarce at all mining
districts and cannot be had. The in.
terror districts that draw supplies Of
anthracite coal from this city had
only secured about half of its usual
supplies SO far this season.
1t is the same as regards the de.
mand for pine lumber, and men,
teams and cars are scarce in Chicago.
The journal SAYS:
"With the country trade there is a
demand that exceeds anything seen
in recent years, and there is large
call that is taking lumber as fast as
shipments can be made. Sales are
over a TERRITORY that once traded here
almost exclusively, but in recent years
has bought in northern markets. To
see orders come from Missouri and
Mississippi river points for white pine
is not an every day occurrence with
Chicago dealers, but of late they have
been getting 2 liberal number. 1t
also indicates that stock is not plenti-
full in other markets."
