VS., APACHE
ACCOUNT OF A BATTLE BETWEEN
INDIANS IN SOUTHWEST
Government Troops Had to Settle the
Difficulties Between Two Jealous
Chiefs-The Result of Too
Much Tiswin.

Soon after the defeat OF the Mescalero
Apache Indians by the American troops,
late in the '70s, a portion of the tribe
fled over the border into Mexico, and
the remainder, submitting to American
| control, were assembled on a newly
created reservation of public land ex-
tending along the banks Of a little, head
long mountain stream in southern New
Mexico, known as the Tulerosa.
The settlement of the Indians on these
lands was promptly followed by the can
torment of a company of infantry near
by, to prevent, if possible, the departure
of Apache raiding parties that might be
organized to operate against Mexican
ranches and American settlements.
The task proved a difficult n for the
troops, owing to the restlessness OF the
Indians, who now for the first time in
their history experienced restraints
beyond those imposed by their personal
necessities, and would have been almost
impossible but for the existence OF two
rival factions in the tribe, headed re-
spectively by Long Tail Bull and Little
Eagle. InGSe cnleIS were lHtShSOiJ
jealous of each other and through their
faithful followers kept the troops in
some measure informed of what was
| going on within the ranks of their OPP
~ponents. These expositions led quickly
to much bitterness of feeling between
the factions and resulted at last, one line
May day, in a prolonged battle with fire.
| arms and bows and arrows, precipitated
by an over indulgence in an Intoxicating
beverage of native brewing, known as
tiswin.
A portion of. the corn issued to the
Indians, it was subsequently discovered,
was saved by them from each issue for
the manufacture of tiswin. When a suf-
ficient quantity of grain had been OBJ
tanned for this purpose it was moistened
in water and buried in the earth, where
it was kept until termination had be-
gun. 1t was then disinterred and after
being thoroughly dried in the sun was
crushed and ground into powder be-
tween fiat stones. The meal thus made,
together with some ~saccharine matter

Sealskin is admired the world over for

DISASTER AT ADAMS
Church Floor Collapsed With
Two Hundred Persons.
BISHOP AND CLERGYMEN INJURED.
During Assembly of Seven Thousand
People at Laying of Cornerstone
of 81. Stanislaus hurch Floor
Beam Gave Way.

ADAMS, Mass, Oct. 3.-While right
Rev. Thomas d. Beaver, Roman Cath
ollie bishop of Springfield, was laying
the cornerstone of st. Stanislaus Pol
ish church here yesterday afternoon a
floor collapsed, precipitating $50 per-
sons into the basement. A dozen per-
sons were injured, several seriously.
Bishop Beaver and several of the
priests assisting him were hurt.
The most seriously injured are Gro
dek Mischloski, aged sixteen, nearly
suffocated and legs injured, condition
critical; Miss Belle Turner, both legs
fractured; Rev. L. o. Triganne, inju-
ries to head and face; Rev. L. 7. Ro-
der, Commissions; Rev. NJ. L. Kopytkie-
wicz, legs injured, Commissions of fore
head; Mrs. Michael McAndres, leg
fractured; Right Rev. Thomas ID. Bea-
ven, bruised slightly about hands and
body; Alexander Lestock, injuries
about the head. t
Some 1000 persons attended the GER
emony, and about 200 were seated OF
standing on the floor, which covered
the newly made basement. Bishop
Beaver was attended by Rev. A. L.
Mclaughlin of st. Thomas church,
Adams, and Rev. l.. o. Triganne, pas
tor Of Notre Dame church, Adams, as
deacons. Rev. James w. Dolan of st.
Thomas parish, Rev. L. T. Rodier of
Notre Dame church, Rev. NJ. F.. Kopyt-
kiewicz. pastor of st. S~tanislaus
church, and others were near the bish-
op.
Just as tile latter was about to lay
the stone u section of the flooring
about forty feet square collapsed, drop
ping twelve feet and carrying with it
the bishop, the clergy and about 140
others.
In the confusion that followed many
were unavoidably tranlpled upon and
half %suffocated.
Bishop Beaver was caught in the
crush, but was able to save himself
from serious injury. He was bruised
about the body and had his hands
scratched.
Father Triganne had his nose
crushed, sustained cuts on the cheeks
and forehead and was injured in an
eye. Fathers Mclaughlin and Dolan
We're beside the bishop, but escaped
injury. The pastor of the church was
quite severely bruised and cut.
A number of police officers and a
score of doctors were present, and
within twenty minutes all the injured
had been e%Xtricated and cared for.
The most serious case appeared to be
that of Grodek Mischloski, a Polish
boy, who was caught under many 9TH
ers. He was unconscious when extri-
Gated, having been nearly ~suffocated.
Both of his legs were injured, and
there was evidence of internal inju-
ries.
One of the clergy administered the
last rites to him, but later he was able
to be removed to his home.
The accident was caused by the
breaking of a heavy wooden girder
which had been spliced. A quantity of
stone to be used in the building work
was resting ON the floor, and this adj
ditional weight contributed to the ac-
cident. The ceremony of laying the
cornerstone has been indefinitely post
D0ned.

Some time ago Russian criminal
was executed in st. Petersburg. He
had during two years murdered twelve
persons, the last one being priest. The
law did not show this monster any
mercy, but speedily condemned him to
death.
Stebljanski was the name of this
wholesale murderer, and he hoped to

fire was discovered in time and got I'M
der control before much damage had
been done, but In the meantime ter
rible struggle ensued between tie keep
ers and the criminal, who had fortified
himself with an iron bar taken from
his bedstead. The first man TO enter
the cell was knocked senseless, and it
was only after being almost suffocated
with smoke that the prisoner was
finally overpowered. Next morning the
execution took place. The condemned
man assembled the scaffold with much
bravado, made a thorough examination
of the same and finally declared the
rope was too short.

and as a condemned criminal in Russia

The executioner. who was really a

The Inhabitants of Palestine made
use in very ancient times of the sling.
the most skillful in its use being the
tribe of Benjamin whose boast it was
never TO miss their aim. What makes
their skill appear more surprising was
that they managed to sling with the left
hand. The men who came to David 5
help at Ziklag were no less adroit.
They used at will either the right hand
or the left. The sling was also the ia
vorite weapon of shepherds, who with
1t drove away wild beats preying on
their fiocks. This makes David's vic
tory over the giant Goliath less sur
prising, as he had no doubt great prac-
tice in the use of this instrument while
guarding his fathers sheep.
