RUNNING THE GANTLET
Lcnnrrirht 1poa. by c. B. LewIs.l

tCopyright, 1908, by c, B. Lswis.l
 Joe Hall, one of the ablest govern ment scouts that ever worked with the army against the Indians, had been captured by the Cheyennes between Forts Wallace and Lyon as he carried dispatches.
 The tribe then had its headquarters on the Smoky hill fork of the Repub- lican river. It was after dark when they reached the town, and Hall was tied hand aud foot and placed in tepee and four guards stationed around 1t. A small raiding party had that day captured man belonging to the Sey- enth cavalry wagon train. The Chey- ennes had determined not to spare man, woman or child who fell into their hands, but after a powwow last Ing an hour the teamster was brought out, and Roman Nose said to him:
 "We have captured the Flying Horse HalD, and we want all white men to know 1t. They will not believe us, but they will believe you. Come and see him"
 He was led to the tepee, and Hall ad- mitted his identity and charged him with some farewell messages to friends. He also gave him the dispatches he was to deliver, or rather asked Roman Nose to do so, and the chief then said;
 "That your white brothers may know you have been a captive in our hands we will send them our mark"
 The chief thereupon sliced off both of the teamsters ears and handed them to him to put in his pocket, The direction of Fort Wallace was pointed out and he was given one of the stage horses and started of, reaching the post next forenoon.
 There did not appear to be one chance in a hundred for Hall to escape, but the village had no sooner become quiet than he began to plan. He was so triced up that it was impossible to free himself. He worked at his lash lngs for an hour or so and then gave up the attempt
 He knew the situation of the village and the country around it, and he final ly decided that his opportunity would come next day wben taken out to run the gantlet. No matter what the rest of the programme was, this portion or preface was never omitted. The ln- diuns seemed to get more amusement out of it than any other part.
 When morning came Halls arms were cast loose, and he was provided with a hearty breakfast. The Indians knew he was game, and they wanted him to keep his full strength and last as long as possible. He had also an object in view and ate all they brought him.
 It was about o'clock when he was taken out to run the gantlet All his lasbings were cast of, a rope tied around his waist, and he was exercised for fifteen minutes to Timber him up.
 There were about 400 bucks in the lines as they were presently formed. In most instances the warriors are al- lowed to strike with clubs, the handles of tomahawks or hickory bows, but in this case only switches were used.
 Hall was a swift runner, and hls plan was to L. Ee bolt hs snnu as he reach

Time Arrives To Buy Spring
 Clothes

This is the time of the year when mems minds turn seriously to thoughts of spring clothing, and there has never been a time when men dressed so well as they do now. The well dresed man is no longer the exception, It is every mans ambition to be in the fashion, and 1t should be gratifying to the men of Skagway that they have opPortuni- ties in the way of clothing themselves that are the equal ot those possessed by residents of any city on the cont'- nent.
 This disdlay of Hart, Schaffner X Marx spring suits and rain coats, and the spring suits of Adler & Son at F. H. Clayson X Co would compare with a store in any city in the land. Every thing in the way of styles and patterns that fashion has decided for this year of grace is there. Nothing can be more stylish in the way of spring suits than the wares of Hart Schafner X Marx, who have made it possible for the business man and the man with a modest salary to dress equally as we'll as the millionaire. It is no longer necessary to pay fashionable tailors fancy prices when you can get the same goods at the prices you once had to pay for shoddy suits.
 It would be we'll for anyone before buying a spring suit or apring over coat to inspect the mammoth stock of goods at F. H. Clayson X Co.'S
