posture. With their allies holding the
trail to the east, the Cheyennes had en-
tered upon siege in hopes to starve
the employees out. Their war ponies
and most Of the band were lying up in
the dry ravine for the night This RAJ
vine had no opening to the south and
was therefore a cuI de sac.
The first signs Of dawn were in the
sky when we saddled up, mounted, and
the whole of us pushed forward, led
by the scouts, for the mouth Of the ra-
vine. We had the Spencer carbines,
each with full magazine, and as we
got the order to charge each man be-
gan shooting. When a carbine was
empty, it was thrown away and re-
volyer used in its place. When the re-
volver was empty, 1t was cast aside for
the saber. Extended from bank to
bank, we swept up the rayine, and we
had nothing to do but kill. Taken by
surprise, the Cheyennes thought only
Of getting away. We had scarcely got
to work when the eight men who had
been cooped up In the dugout sailed
out to take hand in, and it was made
the saddest sunrise the Cheyenne tribe
had ever seen. Not pony could es-
cape out Of that trap. Numbers Of the
warriors scrambled up the banks and
got safely away, but nearly every one
left his weapons behind. The fight did
not last above 80 minutes, and our loss
was only three men wounded.
Down in that ravine we harvested IS
dead Indians, and on the banks above
the stage men counted up % more. We
got upward of hundred rides, about
80 pistols, 1870 ponies and wagon load
Of miscellaneous stuff. Every Indian
lying there was a dead one. Custer
had said, "Shoot to KILL" and there
were no wounded or prisoners. Among
the killed were Spotted Horse, Big
Moon and White Bird. and that fight
broke the backbone Of the Cheyenne
nation. Their part in the war was to
capture all the stations west of Burn
ing Hill, but they had only taken Paw
nee Flat. They never rode to war
again. Within week they were SUI
ing for peace, and they were the first
to be gathered on a reservation.

Caleb Powers, former secretary
of State of Kentucky, who Is IN
der sentence of death for the as
sassination of Governor Gobel,
has aroused the sympathies of
many women, who are urging the
executives of other States to in
terfere in his behalf. This is not
fair. Powers is branded rs a
murderer, and his wanton act
should be denounced by those
tender-bcarted people who would
save him from the gallows The
women know nothing of the tes-
timony and they seem to care
less. They are going out of their
way to interfere with the verdict
of the court, and it is gratifying
to think that their petitions can
have no effect. For the moment
they seem to forget all about
Gobel. He was killed by his
political enemies, of whom Powers
was the convicted leader. The
man should be hanged for his
crime, aud, if such thing is pos
sible, those Western women should

his own opinions upon abstract
questions of principle or concrete
questions of policy 1t is n natula
step, therefore, to tuln for a
moment from the recorded opin
ions of Judge Parker to the oplnS
ion of him held by those who
know him best.
The "verdict of the vicinage'
the estimate of man ny his
nelghbors-has always oeen ac-
copied as II trustworthy test Of
his character and disposition.
How well Judge Parker stands
this test was showu in the inter
view with his fellow townsmen of
Esopus printed in Tho World on
Monday. With one accord, re-
gardless Of party, creed or station,
they declared him to be an ideal
citizen, friend and neighbor- one
to be trusted 10 the smallest af.
fairs of village life and with the
greatest responsibilities that could
be put upon hlm. The village
postmaster, the store keeper, the
blacksmith, professional men, day
lahorers and "farm hands,"
Democrats and Republicans alike
all agreed that Judge Parker will
poll practically the entire vote of
the town as a candidate for presi-
dent.
There Is no ground for appeal
from such verdict as this. As
one Of those interviewed said, GA
man may fool the public but he
can't fool his help. -
AS the real heart of man is
known to his friends and neigh
bors, SO is his brain-the bend of
his mind. his habit of thought
and principle of "ction, his charac
ter and capacity known to those
who have been intimately associat.
ed with him for years, as have
Judge Parker's brethren in the
court of appeals.
Three Of these have unreserved-
ly, and almost without precedent,
given to The World their estimate
of Judge Parker.
Judge Denis O'Brien, who has
sat with Chief Judge Parker for
seven years on the bench Of our
highest court. says that in person.
al intercourse he is "the most
kindly and courteous of men"
that he is "a strong, broad, clear
minded lawyer and that .wi,h
trained mind and ample learning
he possesses in addition the su
pr1m qualification for great
Judge; he loves justice and hates
iniquity."
Judge John Clinton Gray tcs-
titles to Judge Parker's .privute
virtues, Judicial temperament and
abilities, and his wonderful tact
in dealing with men, and insists
that "he has acted wisely in re
fnslng to pronounce upon the
questions of the day or to make
himself conspicuous as an appIi
cant for the nomination as presi-
dent"
ferhaps even more weighty is
the estimate of Judge Vann, a
Republican. He has been as.o-
ciated with Judge Parker for ten
years, and says Of him: "The
strongest characteristic of his
mind, IN my opinion, is it's abso>
lutte fairness and impartlality. |
never observed that he knew per,
son or party while acting as u

Election Forecasts.

Only 239 votes are necessary 10
elect either candidate.
Chairman Taggari. of the Demo
cratic National Committee. has
come out in an interview in which
lac claims that Parker and Davis
will be elected by a landslide of
votes.
Chairman Cortelyou. of the Re
publican National Committee. says
that Roosevelt and Fairbanks will
receive over 800 electoral votes.
The election bettors continue TO
bet 4 to 1 that Roosevelt and Fair
banks will be elected.
They also bet > to / that Roose-
welt will carry New York. although
the Democratic leaders in New
York insist that Parker will get
the State by close margin.
Several of the New York news
papers have conducted postal can
vassers of the doubtful States. and
from these figures it appears that
Roosevelt viii win.
The only argument against this
result Is the claim of the Demo
Gratis that there viii bc a landslide
greater than the Cleveland land

The odds appear to be about even
