forced to dodge back. In this man
ner we kept him in hot water about
ten minutes. I then fired at his horse,
which fell dead at the crack of my
gun. This enabled me more clearly to
see where the Indian was standing.
I was armed with a Sharp's 50-caliber
buffalo gun that shot like a cannon.
Guessing about where the Indian was
/ blazed away right through the pile
Of hides. I must have scOrched him
as he ran from his hiding place yelp-
ing like a coyote at every jump. and
dropped in the grass after running
about fifteen steps. After the fight we
found nine dead Indians lying in the
grass in a space not more than 100
yards square.
AS soon as we had fought the Indians
away from the building we began firing
at long range and drove them out of
sight over the hills. / went to Roth's
store and found that they had built
barriCade with sacks of flour. While
looking out of an opening among the
sacks / noticed something at the base of
the hill about eighty yards away. fired
several shots before ] could get the range.
and upon looking again the object had
stopped moving. Later. when I went 10
see what ] had been shooting at i found
Il dead Indian He had craWlcd a quarter
of q mile with d shattered knee before /
killed him.
1T was impossible to tell how many In
dams were killed, as the dead, shot at
long range, were carried away. I'm addi-
ton to the thirteen found dead on the
/ field, signs of many dead and wounded
were found behind the hills. At one
place. was a heap of mOccasins, leggings,
blankets. etc, saturated with blood.
THE object of the attack, as we learned
afterwards, was TO plumber the stores,
where the Indians knew large quantities
] of ammunition were kept. On the night
{ Of June % one OF the medicine men Of
l the COmancEes went through his cere-
OF IT, telling the Indians that all they
I would have TO do would be TO ride up and
I knock the sleeping victims on the head
And they came near succeeding. Had
l they come fifteen minutes earlier or had
+ the cracking Of the ridge pole in the sa-
/ loon not aroused the sleepers, their 'medi-
cine would have been a success.

Colored Man and Three Women in
Fight.
A cutting ARRAY occurred at DiehPs

night the participants being a man
named William Allison and three wo-
men, Edna Smith Bertha Alexander
and Bertha McClelland. all cOlored.
Captain Brown and Officer Chambers
saw Allison and Edna Smith engaged
in a lively SCRAP. and rushing across
the street, placed them under arrest.
Both were bleeding profusely Edna
shouted, There are two others we
want to get. Those are the ones we
are after" pointing up the street The
officers overlook Bertha Alexander,
who was carrying large butcher
knife, evidently taken from Diehls FISH
stand, and all three were taken to the
station and locked up. a physician
was called in to dress the Smith wO-
mans wounds. she having received a
bad crack on the head and being badly
bruised about the face. The trouble
arose over a watch and chain and a
pocketbook belonging to Edna Smith.
and she accused the others Of having
stolen it. The pocketbook was found
IN AllisOn's possession. Bertha AleXan-
der denied having done any carving,
but the fact that she had a knife in
her possession and the battered condi-
ton Of Edna Smiths head would in
dictate a different story. The officers
were hunting for Bertha McClelland at
midnight.

INCREASE OF 10000.
Chicago Directory Gives That City
Population Of 2,149,OOO.

ChicagO's population this year by the
city directory census VIII approximate
2,l4s,WJ The directory canYasslng WORK
IS already under way. with even greater
care than in previous years and, while
the official statement as 10 population
will not be issued from the Lakeside
press before July Is, sufficient is known
of the work Of the canvassers to indicate
the above total of population.
BY the national census Of 1900 the pop
uIatiOn Of Chicago was little over
10000. This census, it is known, was
grossly Inaccurate. Tt has been eStl-
mated that between 10 and 20 per cent
Of the population was actually missed
The directory census OF the same year
gave the population Of the city as Z9lo.-
CO., a calculation so just that DC has gem
orally been accepted by those best posted
as to the city's growth. The scnOOl cen
sus Of the same year placed the pOpula-
ton at 100000, or but 5000 less than the
directory total
In 1901 the city directory estimate Of
population was 20SoO00, a gain Of about.
1900 over the previous year The .direc-
tory itself OF 1901 showed an increase ln
names Of 22.100. a gain which promises 70
be kept uD this year. The directory
methods Of population calculation are so
exact as compared with those OF the
government and the school board. that
they are accepted as a rule in preference
Will show that the city has added an or
1900 population since 1865, and VIII ~
dictate that the average annual increase
at present ranges between 5000 and 1000.
Prior 70 1900 and for number Of years,
Chicago's population by directory re-
turns averaged an annual increase Of
from 5000 to 81 900. That is, the city nor
mallv gained every year what is about
the total population of Charleston, Des
NToines. Duluth or Evansville. Ind But
since 1900. and with the return Of pros
porous times. the increase each year has
been greater. and is now approaching
nearer to the 1000 mark
An annual gain Of 10.O00 each year
means that the city adds 10 its DoDula-
ton each twelve months the population
Of Bridgeport Conn, or Camden or Tren-
ton n J.. OF Reading. Pa AT the pres
ent time II is believed no city in the
country is so rapidly increasing In perma-
nent population as Chicago. This is par
ticularlv true Of its suburban population,
that section outside the lines. Of the city 8
200 square miles Of area.
