Graphic's Daily Story

,,,rt Things were going 100 s1UT,
He had also figured it out that he had
little to live for, and he determined
on a grand coup. He had trapped for
furs while wrcakinS vengeance, ana
one day he appeared at Il frontier town
with about $3.50 worth of choice skins
He also had pony loaded down with
plumber taken from the Indians. All
his goods were taken off for powder III
kegs and a two horse outfit There were
over 200 pounds Of the powder. Before
driving away Harper stated to Il friend
that he was going to Kill "a hundred In
dans at once, but did not give par
ticulars He joined Il body of emf
grants and continued with them until
well into the Indian country and then
cut loose He left the party at night
and drove off at right angles to the
trail, and no one but the Indians ever
saw him again.
a Sioux chief named White Bird was
abroad With Il war party numbering
200 bucks They had heard of the emil
grant party and We're going to take
the trail ahead of them when they
came upon old Harper. His wagon
stood in grove of cOttonWoods, and
his horses We're grazing. He had dug
ii rifle pit under the wagon. and as
soon as the Indians came within range
he opened fire on them. At that time
but few red men had rifles. The old
man not only stood the party off for
two hours, but killed four and wounded
six. Then they rushed him. which was
just what he planned for. AT given
signal the party dashed forward on
their ponies, and in two minutes the
old man was dead. Every one gather
ed close in to see what plundcr the
wagon contained, and they were tear
ing the cover off when a tremendous
explosion occurred. According to the
Indians it shook the earth for miles
around. OF the war party sixty We're
killed outright ten crippled for life and
thirty burned and otherwise injured
! Over seventy ponies We're also killed.
1t was the heaviest blow ever suffer
ed by the Sioux tribe, and it resulted
In treaty With them that was observ-
ed on their side for the next five years
with the utmost fidelity. The body of
the old man disappeared in the eXplo-
sion and the Indians figured it out that
his 'medcine' had preserved him to
/ take still further revenge. 1t was years
before they would give up that he was
dead. Up to the time of Clusters death
! there We're still among the followers Of
Sitting Bull about twenty warriors
who We're present at the explosion and
several of them We're blind of an eye
or had suffered in their limbs. Sitting
Bull himself was not there, but lie was
carrying /; piece of wood from the
shattered wagon as charm against
any further tragedies of the sort. He
lost this in his battle with Custer and
from that time on he was plunged in
despair and predicted that his END
would soon come. His second chief
Rain-in- the-Face, was in the rush
against the wagon. being then out with
his first war party. and he had two
, ribs broken by flying fragment.

room. I bowed my head upon the table and wept long and bitterly. Then thousand thoughts came rushing through my brain. I could not control them. That banner was conquered: it's folds must be furled, but its story had to be told. We were very poor, my dear children, in the days of the war looked around for a piece of paper to give expression to the thoughts that cried out within me. All that I could find was piece of brown wrapping paper that lay on the table about an old pair of shoes that a friend sent me.
 T seized this piece of paper and wrote the Conquered Banner Then I went to bed leaving the lines there upon the ta- ble. The next morning the regiment was ordered away. and thought no more of the lines written In such sorrow and des- olation the night before. What was my astonishment few weeks later to see them appear above my name in Louis Vile paper. The poor woman who kept the house in Knoxville had gone, as she afterwards told me, into the room, and was in the act of throwing the piece of paper into the fire. when she saw there
 was something written on 1t. She said that she sat down and cried, and copying the lines. she sent them to a newspaper III LOuiSVille. Ana tnat was now the Conquered Banner got into print. That Is the story of the pretty little scroll you have painted for me-"
 Other poems of Father Ryan are worthy representatives of his genius. Among
 them ''The Sword of Robert Lee" "A

 My Brother" Song of the Mystic" and
 Sentinel Songs."

Fought His Own Seconds.

The latest duel in Paris had at least the merit of novelty. M. Gaucher of The Paris Soleil. recently went to see the play Pour la Republicque." He is a royalist. and so incensed was he at the piece that he went up to M. Cohen, whom he sup posed to be the author, and stepped on his toes. M. Cohen challenged. M. Gau- cher accepted. and asked M. Leudet of The Figaro and M. Esgares to act as his seconds. When the details of the meeting were being arranged it was discovered that the toe-trodden Cohen did not write the play, but that it was the work of his brother. Long and complicated discussion followed, and the whole affair was sub mitted to arbitration. At length. M. Gau- cher, dissatisfied with the work of his seconds, called them names. Challenges were exchanged and M. Gaucher and M. Leudet fought. The latter was picked in the arm. M. Gaucher was to fight M. Els gares the next day. and what Is to become of M. Cohen is not yet known.
