HOT FIGHT WITH A SHARK
Bather Owed and Grasped Fish,

dived after it and seized the tail Of

REPRODUCTION OF THE CUSTER MASSACRE
Fifteen and Cheyenne Indsns With Two
and Sixty Regulars, Fight Sham Battle on the Little
Big Historic battle-ground.

fought on the Fourth more than 3oo OF
them were in the battle OF twentysA
wears ago. Major Sanders was the Gus
ter. and at the head of his little Dahd'
representing the detachment or the Ia
mons Seventh United States cavalry
no could be seen in the distance max
;ng detOur to surround a small Gus
fer of Indians. The latter ran, and
Sanders charged after them in full pur-
suit. The red men were real warriors
in appearance, with their shining, max
ed limbs and features Enthusiastically col
ored. and riding their mounts at top
speed they presented terrifying spec
tacle.
The reds were then REINFORCED and
beat back the soldiers, the firing broke
into a sullen roar, and the soldiers
were seen again advancing. The sol
diers divided into two columns, one
taking one side and the other the op-
pOsite of the ascent up the ravine.
Then Spotted Horse, who acted Gall,
brought up more Indians. The troop
ers tried to form a junction of their
two slender columns, but the enemy.
scores and scores Of flying, yelling
fiends, remained ever between them.
There was no escape. Gall was an
omnipresent fiend and seemed to pos
sess charmed life as he charged at
the head of his hordes, yelling, encour-
aging, calling on the Great Spirit as
they rode over their own dead to reach
the little band of the Seventh. First
the cavalry horses fell as their riders
dropped behind them, shooting desper-
ately on every side at an enemy that
seemed to encircle each one of them.
SO numerous were the reds.
A final charge. and both sides were
down save a few plucky punches OF
men who stood side by side in the last
encounter. Then the carnage began.
and scalps were lifted in high glee
Custer alone, with half dozen men,
was making his last stand.
Then Custer remained alone for
moment, finally falling, pierced by nu'
merous bullets and lying undisturbed
among that yelling horde. which re-
varded him with awe as some power
al agency Of the evil spirit. There he
lay. even as did the Custer of quar-
ter of a century ago, his yellow locks
undisturbpd. his face married only by
the battle smoke and his sword In his
hand even in death.
Such was the mimic battle given at
Sheridan on the Fourth, at once the
first and the most lifelike attempt to
reproduce the Custer massacre.

PROGRESS IN AGRICULTURE.
Secretary Wilson Plans for Pro
ducing Foreign Products.

Secretary Wilson in n signed article
written for the Washington Evening
Times explains what the agricultural
department is doing to aid American
progress in agriculture and for the gen
eral development of the country. In
proof of the work being done the sec
rotary cites the following facts:
Four or FIVE years ago we raised IS
per cent of the rice we used. The
Dingley law imposed q heavy tariff,
and our rice was not suited to our re-
quirements. 1t was soft. We sent a
southern man to China to hunt for
what we wanted. He found fiinty.
clump rice and this year we shall sup
DIV the home demand. We shall have
our own rice this year, and those gen
tlemen who sent rice to the Danish
West Indies in hope that the United
States would buy the islands will find
that we have enough without their
stock.
We have been paying $S,OO0,OOO a
year for macarOni from Italy, and IT
was not of q very tempting quality at
that. We will raise 100000 bushels
of macaroni wheat this year. We ex-
pect to develop this crop until we add
$20,0OO,O00 value annually to our
wheat crop. Macaroni wheat will
grow in ten inches of rainfall. 1t is
particularly suited to the western
states as far west as the one hundredth
meridian.
We have just received a consign-
ment of hard wheats from the valley
of the Tigris river. We have found
an early date palm from the same
valley which we have planted in Phe-
nix, Ariz., by the side of date palm
lately brought from north Africa.
We are also improving the maize
crop. There is a great demand for
hominy corn as well as for varieties
rich in oil. Over $4,000 worth of
corn oil has been sold this year. 1t
promises to become great industry.
We also have several new varieties of
sugar corn for canning purposes.

Ever since the young president of

the block bounded by Riverside drive
West End avenue. Seventy-third and
Seyenty-fourt streets there has been
much speculation as to what he would
do with the property. One report was
that he had bought the land merely as
an investment. All doubt as to his
purpose has been set ut rest, and the
bureau of buildings, of which Perez
NJ. Stewart is superintendent, has been
consulted about the final plans for the
mansion Mr.. Schwab will build.

negie. the young steel king will have

all about. His new home will be $50
by 100 feet, and the house will stand
in the center of the block. There will
be fine frontage on Riverside drive
overlooking the Hudson. and the
grounds Oh each of the four sides will
be laid out on magnificent scale. The
house will be four stories in height
and is expected to be ready for Occl-
pancy by Christmas time next year.

AT Sheridan, WyO., July A, not far
from the spot where Custer fell, TWEEN
ty-six years after the heroic Seventh
cavalry was demolished by ferociOus
and overpOwering force of Indians,
was enacted a mimic but fearfully
lifelike imitation of that celebrated
massacre. says the New York Times
Fifteen hundred Crows and Chey-
ennes, hideous in their war paint,
swooped down upon 260 men from
Fort Mckenzie and surrounded, cut
down and annihilated them in the
presence of thousands of spectators,
who then saw the first lifelike repro
duction of the slaughter of Custer and
his band.
The fight of June %, 1876, was with
out a surviving witness, and after the
last horrible yell had died away In the
Big Horn, after the last scalp had
been lifted, there was no one or that
gallant band of troopers left to tell
the tale. The scene of carnage has
been described only in the unwilling
speech of the Indian victOrs and the
imagination of the writer's whom that
speech and the graves of the silent
dead inspired. So, after all, the most
authentic and certainly the most vivid
picture of that fight was the sham bat
tie between Uncle Sans men and the
Crows and Cheyennes on the Fourth
OF July, 1902.
The recent reproduction of the Gus
ter massacre is the result of many
years Of scheming. For ten years ef-
forts had been made to persuade the
Crows to take part in the mimic fight,
but all overtures had been met with
grunts of disapproval. 1t was not I'M
til after patient persistence and much
canvassing that o. T.. Hanna, once
scout with Custer, succeeded III inter
esting the reds in sham battle.
Through his long experience on the
frontier and his personal acquaintance
among the leading chiefs Of the west
ern Indians Hanna finally came out on
top. They agreed to put up" an ex-
hibition If Hanna would do certain
things, which Hanna readily promised.
The Crows are very conservative
tribe these days. and when once they
were interested in the project they
were ready to emigrate almost to
man to the field of the sham battle. So
the Grow agency on the Fourth looked
like a deserted village, while around
the town of Sheridan were camped at
least 1900 Indians. OF the chiefs who
took part in the sham battle the best
known are Spotted Horse, Wolf-That-
Lies Down, Two Leggins, Old Crow.
Plenty Cuss, Crazy Head, Red Toma-
hawk, Iron Thunder, Medicine Grow,
Sparrow Hawk, Pretty Eagle and Bad
Man.
Rehearsing 1000 Indians for the
sham battle was no small task and re-
auired diplomacy as well as executive
ability. For days the spectacle was
repeated until all the movements were
thoroughly drilled into the red mems
minds. In the band of Indians who
