ceived, will, together with his and
their holdings of stock, give his party

1.-The company has not been sold to

at is the belief of Mr.. Gates and
his associates that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company is highly valu-
able property, capable Of great devel-

well managed because the men con-
nected with its direction have not
thoroughly understood the affairs with
which they have had to deal.
1T Is the intention of Mr.. Gates and
his associates to build up the COM
pany along broad lines, upon which
they believe it is possible to proceed,
and in carrying out this policy it is
their plan to put in active charge of
the company's affairs men who are
throughly conversant with the iron

REJECTS HARMONY PROPOSAL.
Bryan Declares That Loyal Democrats
Cannot Be Shelved.

Lincoln, Neb., July 19.-Mr. Bryan
will not accept harmony at the terms
proposed by the reorganizers, the shelv-
ing of the men who fought the BATTLES
of 1896 and 1900. He says in the Com
moner:
"The disastrous congressional elec.
ton of 1894 is only feeble illustration
of what may be expected IL the party
comes again under the leadership of
those who were recreant In recent cam
paigns. What will be the result If the
men who were loyal in 1896 and 1900
are asked to rally under the standard
of those whom they mistrust and are
required to surrender a deep con-
viction and condemn their own votes:
If the party (although it polled a mil
lion more votes) could not win when
ten per cent. of the members of the
party were dissatisfied, how can it hope
to win when ninety per cent. of the
members are dissatisfied?
Harmony, on the terms proposed,
means not only the abandonment Of
principle for the promise of success,
but it means failure to secure sue
cess, the trading of birthright for
mess of pottage, without getting the
pottage. The anything to win policy
is an insult to those who have con-
victions and it ought to be offensive
even to those who have no convictions,
if they have political judgment"

MORMON CHURCH DIVORCE.
Supreme Court Of Utah Holds That It
10 Invalid.

Salt Lake. July 22.-In the case of
Annie +. A. Hilton, appellant, VS..
Rose p. Roylance, respondent and the
other two cases which are relative
thereto, the Supreme Court yesterday,
in an unanimous opinion, reversed the
decision Of Judge Hall, who tried the
case, and ordered findings and decree
entered according to such reversal. The
case Is of vast Importance to the peO-
pie of this community, and determines
the legal status of persons who are
"sealed for eternity" under the cere-
mony of the Mormon Church.
About December 1, 1872, plaintiff,
who was then Miss Annie Armitage,
was supposed to be on her deathbed,
and the ceremony known as sealing"
was performed, whereby DIR. John Il.
Park and Miss Armitage were to be
husband and wife after death. Miss
Armltage recovered from her illness,
and March 10, 1873, she and Park
signed a document known as Church
divorce" whereby they agreed to dis
solve all relations which had existed
between them as husband and wife.
After this she married William Hilton,
now Salt Lake policeman by whom
she has ten or twelve living children.
DIR. Park, during his life time, decided
certain property to Rose z. Roylance,
and this action was brought to recover
title to one-third of said property, to
which Mrs. Hilton claims she is en-
titled as the legal widow of John r.
Park, deceased, and also for family
allowance pending the determination of
the suit. She alleged in her complaint
that she never relinquished her rights
in said real estate and is still the own
er of the same. Judge Hall decided
that John II. Park and plaintiff never
became husband and wife, and hence
she was not entitled to any part of the
premises In controversy.
Justice Bartch delivered the opinion
of the Supreme Court and Chief Justice
Miner and Justice Baskin concurred in
the same.
The church divorce is admitted by
counsel for respondent to be null and
void, hence there is nothing to deter
mine on that point. The opinion there
fore holds that Mrs. Hilton was lawful
ly married to John X. Park and upon
his death became his legal widow, and
as such is entitled to her share of his
estate, which amounts to $4,000.

BISHOP MOORE ATTACKED.
Former Chancellor Of University OF
Denver Roughly Used in corea.


Washington, July 19.-An account
has reached here of the details of an
assault committed on some Methodist
missionaries in Corea by japanese
coolies about the 18th of last month.
As Bishop Moore of the NJ. E. Church
was en- route to the town of Soowon
to dedicate a church, his party was
attacked by japanese coolies who were
building the railroad from Seoul to Fu-
san. With the bishop We're his young
daughter and Messrs. Appenzeller and
Swearer and all of the party suffered.
The bishops pith helmet saved his
skull from a crushing blow. Appen-
zeller was struck down by q blow
from a club and Swearer, the other
missionary, was struck with a piece
of cordwoOd, which gashed his head
across the forehead to the bone and
may have permanently injured one eye.
The japanese minister at Seoul i'm
mediately put in motion all the ma
chinery at his command to secure the
capture and punishment Of the assail-
ants. 1t does not appear that any IA

Aldiiu' moving in a sold thunderbolt OF
hoofs and flying sabres, would have
won the day against the Indian army,
even with the advantage of a surprise.
AS a rule the Indians did not stand
charge we'll; but then, it was not be-
lieved that they would fight as they
did when Custer fell, and perhaps the
white valor would have been as vain
when combined as when divided. Even
with all his force, Custer could have
mustered but one man to eight of the
herce warriors.
When Reno made his attack the In
dlans were surprised, but not dismay-
ed. Kallying quickly they stood their
ground and Reno was forced to retreat
losing many men as they fled to cover
under the steep banks of the river.
The Indians did not cross the river in
pursuit, but then turned their atten-
ton to Custer, who came up the lower
end of the valley.
There has been much question
| whether Reno really knew of the fierce
onslaught on Custer. The Indian viii
lage had been so large that what oc-
| Cured at one end might be unknown
to those at the other end. It did not
require great force to beat Reno's half
hearted attack, and drive him across
the river, where he was beseiged for
two days in a more or less desultory
fashion. Even had he known Clusters
plight, and attempted to come to his
rescue, it is doubtful whether a man
would have survived the hazardous
ride. That he did not act the dare
devil bravery usual in the fighting
Seventh cavalry. or indeed in any reg
iment Of the frontier soldiers is unde-
niable; but that his attempt to rescue
his leader would have ended in more
useless slaughter, is also probable.
With the closing in of the Indian
hordes around Custer and his little
band, all authentic history of the bat
tie is lost Not whiteman escaped.
The duration of the battle is not known;
according to the Indian reports it var
led all the way from 20 minutes to a
half a day. Part of the history can
be read in the beautifully aligned rows
Of white monuments now marking the
crest of the hill, each stone cover
| ing the remains of soldier who
stood his ground. Only one solitary
stone was found over the whole battle
ground; that of a trooper who may
have tried to escape in panic, or per-
haps may have been a courier sent in
forlorn hope to bring help that was
sure to come too late, if at all. All the
bodies were horribly mutilated when
found, save that of Custer himself; the
savages respected the gallant leader
even in death, and his was the only
body that was not scalped. Rain-in-
the-Face, a villainous Sioux, who had
been put in the guard house of one OF
the pioneer posts by Lieutenant Tom
Custer, for some offense, had sworn
that he would eat the gallant 1ieuten-
ants heart and he made good his say
age threat on the field.

CUSTER'S LAST STAND.
The Great Indian Fight in which the
Gallant Officer and 600
Others Fell.
Others Fell

Twenty-siX years ago last Wednes-
day there was fought on the soil of
Montana the greatest battle with the
Indians in the history of the country.
1t was the battle of the Little Big
Horn, in which Gen. Custer and 600
followers went down before Sitting
Bull and his Sioux and Cheyennes.
Among the countless battles, great
and small, that the blue-coated troop
ers have had with the Indians who
disputed every foot of the great plains
with the oncoming whites there is
nothing that approaches the battle of
the Little Big Horn where Mai. Gen.
Custer and his 900 followers went
down to death below the thousands of
warriors under Sitting Bull, Gall and
Crazy Horse. 1t was the tiercest battle
in the history of the plains, the largest
proportion of fatalities of any battle in
history-for there was not a survivor.
not a prisoner. 1t stands out as to
give a lurid lie to the once prevalent
belief that the Indian would not fight
a pitched battle; a monument to the
best soldiers in the world, every man
of whom died at the post of duty.
There may be other soldiers who
would have fought as gamely, given
the opportunity; but the fact remains
that these men did do it, and between
the two, the possibility and the realiz-
alton, there are countless humiliating
failures. Honor to the man who does
grand thing, rather than to the MIN
who might do the same, if the oppor-
tunity came.
Custer had in all about 900 men
when he started up the Rosebud river
on June June %, to followed an Indian
trail that Major Reno had found in his
scouting. The trail was followed for
! three days, when it turned into the
valley of the Little Big Horn. The
