MOUNTAINS, there TO carry the DatIie
to a finish. A number started for the
hills, while others, realizing that they
were beaten, stopped by the Little Big
Horn river to wash off the war paint,
hoping that in doing away with this
evidence or their hostility, they might
not be recognized by the whites as
having been among those participating
in the fray.
Cheestapah "a just attempting to
ford the river when Crazy Head, with
true philosophy, went to him and said:
"You no get away from the whites,
They catch you some time, mebbe one
week, mebbe one month away-then
you be punished worse than now. You
come with me and let me take you to
them; then they punish you and it be
over, and you be n Of us again."
Chestapah, seeing it was useless to re-
slst, consented, suffering Crazy Head
to take his horse by the bride.
Now, Fire Bear had but a few no.
ments before heard the rumor that
Medicine Tail, a most loyal friend OF
his and a great favorite throughout
the tribe, had been killed by those un-
der the medicine man. Furious and
embittered, though ~outwardly as calm
and stoical as ever, he rode up to
where the defeated brave was standing
and said contemptuously:
"You think you strong medicine,
don't you?"
Cheestapah, who foresaw what was
coming, replied: My friend, l am
thirsty; let me get a drink"
He had not time to dismount when
Fire Bear said: "Tll show you strong
medicine" and raising a revolver, shot
him through the forehead. A few
minutes later the body of the great
medicine man was brought into camp
and literally thrown on the ground as
the GROWING thorn in his ignominy.
How did the followers of Cheesta-
pah account for his death? All! You
shall see with what consummate cum
ming did he leave a loophole for him.

killing their leader, were rubbed with
this mysterious herb. 1t is owing to
this that his memory lis ever kept

Many of the old, old men will tell

WARMING FOR THE PORTE

London, Sept. 1.-THE efforts OF the
powers, according to the latest tele-
grams. are directed both at CONSTANT
NOBLE and Sofia toward an endeavor
to avert war. It is said that all the
ambassadors at Constanttnople have
drawn the porte's attention to the dan
ger of permitting a continuation OF the
excuses in Macedonia by the, Turkish
troops and irregulars.
The Daily Chronicle says It under
stands that Great Britain has decided
on a still stronger step in the dispatch
of a British squadron in support OF her
diplomatic endeavors at Constantine
ple to put an end to the massacres.
It is impossible, however, to connrm
or deny the Daily Chronicles state
ment.
Most of the special correspondents
in the near East consider war e v
able, but think it may yet be delayed,
neither the Bulgarians o the TURKS
being really prepared for it. Bulga-
ria is not sufficiently armed. wnlle
Turkey does not feel safe until her
lines Of communication are less at the
mercy Of Bulgarian insurgent bands.

tinual crossing of the frontier by
bands and the smuggling of arms ant
ammunition from Bulgaria was couch
ed in most uncompromising language
leaving no prospect whatever OF an
amicable arrangement.
The Sofia correspondent Of the
Times says the decision of the Bulga
rian government partly to mobilize
the army is universally approved. II
is urged that the troops will be exclu
sively designed to close the frontier
against the passage of insurgen1
bands and that the step will be resort
ed to in obedience to the dictates O

NEW CURE FOR LOckJAW.

Chicago University Professor Sue
cessfully Treats a Violent Case.
A cure for lockjaw has been discov-
cred and successfully tested in Chicago
by DR.. s. A. Mathews of the University
Of Chicago. George Newman was the
patient, and the cure was effected
while he was in the midst Of the most
violent tetanus spasms.
The Newman boy caught his toe in
the chain of a bicycle, and tetanus set
in. Nine of the best physicians in Chi
cage treated the lad. but he steadily
got worse. DIR. Mathews was then
called.
For a month DIR. Mathews, formerly.
a student under Professor Loeb. has
been working in the physiological lab
oratory Of the university. where he is
an instructor in p~harmacology. He had
already succeeded on animals and was
waiting for a chance to try it on a hu-
man. @L
An entirely venous injection Of salts,
chloride and potassium was made in
the lower arm. Little improvement was
seen. and the boys pulse was IA. 9th
er injections We're given Wednesday
and Saturday nights. The pulse went
down. and he began to improve. He is
now almost we'll. and the scientific de-
partment of the university is rejoicing
over the successful test.
1t is thought that the cure will be eff
fective in the ease of snake bites and
other blood ~poisonings.

to Mobilize Troops.
Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 17.-Although
no formal replies have been received
to the Bulgarian governments note, 1t
is said that the representatives OF
three great powers have repeated
their counsels to Bulgaria to remain
quiet, as in the event of a war with
Turkey, Bulgaria need not expect any
help in foreign quarters. 1t is further
reported that the same diplomats
visited General Petroff and ~endeavored
to persuade him to postpone the mobili-
zation of Bulgarian forces, but the
premier declined.
One Of the ministerial organs, in an
editorial on the government note, says
it hopes it will be the last time that
the Bulgarian government will issue
a note. If the powers do not inter-
vene to restore order in Macedonia,
Bulgaria will undertake, with the
feeble forces she possesses, to do what
is expected Of her and to give Europe
the pleasure of witnessing a bloody
drama in Macedonia.

NOTED MEN DIE
In CLUB ROOMS
Fire Destroys Fine Structure
in Troy, n. Y, and Three
Persons Perish in the Flames
FIREMEN ARE POWERLESS
Moses 7. CIough, One of the
Victims, Was Lone Survivor
of Dartmouth Class of 1884

TROY, N. Y, Dec. 30.-Moses T.
Clough, the nestor of the Rensselaer,
County bar and the last survivor of the
class of 1884 of Dartmouth College;
William Shaw. head of the law firm of
Shaw Bailey & Murphy, and Benjamin
w. KINNEY, manager for the Fuller
Warren Company of Boston, Mass, lost
their lives in a fire which partially de-
stroyed the Troy Club to-day AL
though the doomed men were seen at
the windows nothing could be done to
save them, so. dense was the smoke and
so rapid the progress of the flames.
Edward Carpenter of New York was
taken from an upper window by the
firemen and removed to a hospital
where he is recovering from the effects
of smoke inhaled. He was in town pre-
pairing for his marriage with a young
society woman of this city His escape
from death was regarded as one of the
remarkable features of the fire. All the
persons killed were occupying rooms
on the upper floor of the club building
which is four stories in height. and 1t
was the part the flames attacked first
The victims had retired about 10
o'clock and were sleeping soundly when
the alarm was given by the employees
An effort was made at once to reach
the sleeping apartments, but the pro-
gress of the fire had been so rapid that
the help at hand could not make their
way to the top floor.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by lighted cigarette being
thrown among some combustible mate
rial. The clubhouse was built ten or
twelve years ago at a cost of $500, ,0O0
The loss by fire will reach $55.0
Mr.. Clough was SO years of age and
Mr.. Shaw was nearly 20. Both resided
at the club at which Kinney and Car
pentier were guests.
The police report that while the fire
was at its worst man was discovered
trying to set fire to the building at the
corner of Broadway and Fifth avenue,
occupied as a news stand. The man es-
capped. 1t is not believed, however, that
the clubhouse fire was of incendiary
origin.
