Political Preferment.

Political preferment is all the topic in Mobile to-day and the question of the hour is: ''Who will be Chief of the Po- lice Department?" Mayor-elect Charles E. Mclean was seen this morning by your representative and asked this query. His answer was that he had nothing to give out as yet, and possibly would not do so until the end of the week.
 Rumors of caucuses were thick this morning, but no satisfactory foundation for them could be learned. From the an- swer given by MT. Mclean, it would seem he is not, nor has he been, a party to any If any there were. On all sides on Royal Street to-day could be seen small knots of politicians and would-be position-holders, discussing the situation.
 There are many valuable plums to be gathered, but who will be the reapers of the harvest there is none at present wise enough to say. There is a ferment- ing condition just now ard all who are on the anxious bench have feelings indis- cribable

The water then should be drained off, and they should be covered again with cold water; let them boil fifteen minutes.

PERFORMED ONE OF
THE BRAVEST ACTS
So Says Gen. Miles of VaIorous
Deed of Amos Chapman,
Indian Scont.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 6.-The re-
cent visit of Lieut.. Gen. Miles to Ok
lahoma brings into prominence again
that old army scout who annually
visits Gen. Miles in Washington
Amos Chapman, of whom Miles says
Chapman performed one of the BRAY
est deeds in the annals of the army
Amos Chapman now lives out in
Woods county, Western Oklahoma. He
frequently appears in Alva and other
large west side towns on business with
the government land offices, except
during his sojourn with his old COM
mander in Washington.
Chapman is one of the most cele-
brated Indian scouts now living in the
Southwest, coming to Oklahoma first
in 1868, when Gen. Custer was oper-
ating against the Cheyennes, Arapa-
HES, Comanches and Kiowas. Prior
to that Chapman was in the employ
of the government as courier and
scout at Forts Harker, Larned and
Dodge, in Kansas. AT Fort Supply,
Q. T., Chapman was chief of scouts
for years, his employment ending
when the fort was abandoned by the
government a few years ago
He is chiefly noted for the fight, in
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-07

addition to his wounds, had two bullet
holes through his hat and three
through his coat.
Dixon died the next morning, and
for five days the four men held off a
band of Indians estimated at $50
strong. AT any time a charge by the
Indians would have ended the fight,
but they knew that in attempting 1t
some of them would be killed. Dur
ing these five days the men were
without food and for two days with
out water, but on the third day rain
fell, thus relieving their sufferings.
On the afternoon of the fifth day
the soldiers saw the Indians hurriedly
ride together and scamper away, and
within a few minutes four troops of
cavalry, commanded by Maj. Price,
came into sight.
When rescued Chapman and his
men had but one rifle cartridge left,
together with several rounds of re-
volver ammunition, and Maj Price
had no food for them excepting mule
meat With Chapman and the other
wounded men on horseback the march
was resumed and within four days
more the supply train was located and
guided to Miles headquarters.
Twenty days later, by order OF Gen.
Miles, Chapman was removed to Fort
Supply where his right leg was am
putated. He remained in the hospital
just six days, and within a month
was again in the saddle.
