sure to find water for the wounded.
If wounded there had to be. There
by the aid of few hastily thrown
tntrenchments he could have a little
plains fort and be ready to repel even
an attack in force. Horses could be
herded in the depths of the sandy
shadows. Men could be distributed
in big circle through the trees and
along the bank; and, with abundant
rations in their haversacks and water
to be had for the digging, they could
hold out like heroes until relief
should come from the south.
Obviously, therefore, the cotton
wood grove was the place, and
thither at laundering charge Field
led the foremost line, while Ray
waved on the second, all hands cheer
ing with glee at sight of the Sioux
darting wildly away up the north
ward slope. Ten men in line, far ex-
tended, were sent right forward half
way across the fats, ordered to drive
the Indians from the bottom and
cripple as many as possible; but, if
menaced by superior numbers, to
fall back at the gallop, keeping well
away from the front of the grove,
so that the fire of it's garrison might
not be masked" The ten had dart
ed after the scurrying warriors, full
half way to the beginning of the
slope, and then, just as Ray had pre-
dicted, down came cloud of bril-
liant foemen, seeking to swallow the
little ten alive. Instantly their SER
geant leader whirled them about and,
pointing the way, led them in wide
circle, horses well in hand, back to
the dry wash, then down into it's
sandy depths. Here every trooper
sprang from saddle, and with the
rein looped on the left arm, and
from the shelter of the straight, stiff
banks, opened sharp fire on their
pursuers, just as Clayton's platoon,
dismounting at the grove, sprang to
the nearest cover and joined in the
fierce clamor of carbines. Racing
down the slope at top speed as were
the Sioux, they could not all at once
check the way of their nimble
mounts, and the ardor of the chase
had carried them far down to the
fats before the fierce crackle began.
Then it was thrilling to watch them,
veering, circling, sweeping to right
or left, ever at furious gallop, throw
ing their 1.-THE, painted bodies behind

CHAPTER XII.

What action had been resolved
upon, and prompt action, was now
apparent. Stabber, fighting chief
though he had been in the past, had
had his reason for opposing the plans
of this new and vehement leader;
but public sentiment, stirred by We
hement oratory, had overruled him,
and he had bolted the field convention
in q fury. Lame Wolf, a younger
chief than Stabber, had yet more
power among the Ogallalas. being Red
Clouds favorite nephew, and among
the Indians, at least, his acknowl-
edged representative. Whenever
called to account, however, for that
nephew's deeds, the wary old states.
man promptly disavowed them. It
was in search of Lame Wolf, reasoned
Ray, that Stabber had sped away,
possibly hoping to induce him to call
off his followers. It was probably
the deeper strategy of Stabber to op-
pose no obstacle to Rays advance un-
til the little troop was beyond the
Elk Tooth ridge, where, on utterly
shelterless ground, the Indian would
have every advantage. He knew Ray
of old; knew well that, left to him
self, the captain would push on in
the effort to rescue the stage people,
and he and his command might prac,
tically be at the mercy Of the Sioux,
if only the Sioux would listen and be
patient. Stabber knew that to attack
the troopers now entrenching at the
cottonwoods meant desperate fight
in which the Indians, even if ultimate
ly triumphant, must lose many a
thoroughbred Indians view of good
generalship. Stabber was old, willy
and wise. The new chief, whoever
he: might be, seemed possessed of a
mad lust for instant battle, coupled
with a possible fear that, unless the
golden moment were seized, Ray
might be reinforced, and could then
defy them all. Indeed there were vet
eran campaigners among the troop
ers who noted how often the tall red
chief pointed in sweeping gesture
back to Moccasin troopers
who, even at the distance caught and
interpreted few Of his words.
That's it, sir,'' said Winsor, conf

soldiers coming, and-I believe he

At all events he had so convinced
his fellows, and, even before Stabber

RESIGNS TO AVOID SCANDAL
Secretary OF the Treasury of England
Becomes Involved I'm .UnprOfit-
able Syndicate.

LONDON. April 7.--William Hays Fisher,
NJ. p. financial secretary of the treasury.
announced his resignation in the House Of
Commons today, as a result Of his connec-
tion as a director with a financial syndi-
cate and OF his acceptance Of a bonus Of
shares in the concern.
Mr.. Fisher said the syndicate, whose af
fairs were now before the courts. had never
issued any shares to the public. The whole
diflculty arose from the vendor pledging
shares to a banker who sold them Though
he, Mr.. Fisher. was not rich, he and Sir
Joseph Lawrence, another member of this
private syndicate, had arranged that every
creditor and every shareholder should be
paid in full. He had handed over his check
for $25, 900 for this purpose.
While conscious of his own integrity, Mr..
Fisher recognized that the structures of
Justice Buckley rendered him liable to at
tacks in his official capacity, and that he
had, therefore. become source Of weak
ness to the government.
Mr.. Fisher showed considerable emotion
while explaining the cause Of his resigna-
tion and was sympatheticsily cheered from
both sides of the house

TROUBLE OVER PARTY RATES

CHICAGO, April 7.-(special Telegram.)--
Trouble which has existed for some time

to the calling Of mass meeting of western

man OF the Western Passenger association.
An effort will be made by several Of the
strong lines to secure a castron agree

companies. The snarl over the matter has
become so bad however, that there Is little
hope OF reaching an agreement which will
hold after the first party presents itself
for transportation. Chairman Macleod and
some Of the general passenger agents are
making strenuous efforts to have party
rates corfined to theatrical people, be-
cause II made general the government can

CRUCIAL BEET SUGAR YEAR
President Oxnard Talks of Condition
of Company at Stockholders
Meeting.

NEW YORK, April. 7.-At the annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the Ameri-
can Beet Sugar company in Jersey City
today the old board OF directors was re-
elected.
President II. F. oxnard said the COM
pany had PASSED through a crucial year.
Artificial stimulation Of the industry in
Europe by the payment Of export bounties
had resulted in an accumulation of an abb
normal surplus and a fall in price below
the cost of production. Raw sugar had
sold in Hamburg. which makes the price
OF the world at Ave shillings 11A pence. a
price % per cent below the record price.
Prices on the Missouri river had reached
Ais cents.
President Oxnard said the company had
indicated a capacity to earn money under
conditions the like of which had never
prevailed and were unlikely to occur again.
The great sugar producing countries of
Europe had united to abolish export boun-
ties and the effect had been to advance
the price OF sugar. Raw sugar was now
selling at Hamburg at SIS 2%d. an advance
OF SO per cent. The price In California
was 490 cents and on the Missouri river
4.73 cents. The quantity Of sugar produced
by the company was 115.ssO.3OO pounds
which was beyond the expectation OF the
company.
