FAST TRAIN HELD UP.
Stops an Hour on a TrestIe While
Man Is Rescued From Water

New York, Aug. PA fast train out
ward bound from Jersey City on his
way to st. Louis has been held up
more than an hour on the trestle over
Newark bay while a man who was
walking on the track and had been
Knocked into the water, was being res
cued- He was tramp. A tramp, an
alleged burglar, newspaper reporter,
an oyster man and two travellers hgur
Half way over the bay the engineer
saw a man few feet ahead directly
in the trains path. He blew the whis-
tie but before the echoes had died
away the locomotive grazed the man
and hurled him into the bay. The train
was brought to a quick stop. Passen-
gers about to retire sprang to the win
dows.
BILE, making feeble efforts to keep
afioat. A man coatless and with no
shoes, said he would save the injured
man. He jumped and swan toward
him. He succeeded in keeping the head
of the injured fellow above the water,
but could not make his way back to
the bridge against the tide. Aid was
necessary and Charles Cameron, of
night robes and dived into the bay, but
the three could not beat against the
swift tide and another passenger vol
unteered. On the suggestion of wo-
man the signal cord were cut from six
cars and tied together. The last vol
unteer took along one end of the line
but 1T parted when those on the bridge
tried to pull the swimmers aboard.
A reporter then suggested going to
the end of the bridge for an oyster
boat The engine was uncoupled and
dashed away. With the reporter and
an oyster man at the oars a dory was
soon on the scene and after nearly an
hours work. the swimmers were res
cued-all in good condition except the
original cause of the trouble. He was
hurried to hospital where he will soon
recover. The first volunteer was ar
rested when he got off the train at
Elizabeth an alarm having been tele-
phoned several hours previously from
Bayonne charging a man answering his
description with having committed
burglary.

A BROKEN TRIBE.
BY M. QUAD

b NJ. QUAD.
In May, 1858, when Colonel Saunders
was sent into the Big Wichita noun
tains of Texas with 200 men and artiI-
iery to open military road, the Co
aanche Indians were at the zenith of
their power Us a tribe. Their chief was
Eagle Feather, and he boosted that he
could defeat any force sent against
him.
Five days after the soldiers ser out
on their march the Comanches to the
number of 500 met them on the Chico
river, and the soldiers took possession
OF plateau and prepared for battle.
Eagle Feather, assisted by a white reiI-
egade soldier, planned for a grand
charge of his lancers that should in
sure victory at once. He sent in word
that he hoped the white men would
hight. He did not demand a surrender,
and he wanted it plainly understood
that he would grant no quarter. His
firm purpose was to wipe out every
man in the expedition, and thus deter
all thought of future invasion of his
territory.
At a given signal his whole body of
warriors charged. 1t began wnen mis-
first line had approached within half
a mile of the soldiers making ready,
and the ground was clear of all OBJ
struction and as level as a floor. The
ComancheS knew nothing of the pi eS-
ence of the artillery until it op med
fire. After single round of grape,
the guns wei silent and gave place to
and the slaughter something terrible.
Fifty-three warriors and seventy ponies
were left behind when the force drew
off and returned to the spot where the
big chief had posted himself to wtach
and direct. He was screaming with
rage and chagrin when his broken
ranks retreated upon him.
Within half an hour after being
driven back Eagle Feather sent in word
that he was glad the white men had
exhibited SO much bravery, as the
honor of defeating them would be all
the greater. While his warriors had
been unsuccessful in the first charge,
the second would be certain to win the
victory, and he warned Colonel Saun-
ders to make ready to die.
When the lines were formed again
every warrior was in them, and the
chief placed himself at their head.
Such warriors as had been dismounted
advanced on foot, and some of the
wounded were tied on their horses.
Again the soldiers waited until the
yelling horde had come to close quar-
belched forth a murderous fire. 1t
was lesson no tribe of Indians ever
forgot. 1r five minutes every warrior
who could get away had retreated,
leaving the ground heaped with dead
and dying.
A count Of the bodies brought the
total up to 112. Those who were
wounded refused quarter and had. to
be slain. Eagle Feather, although in
scratched. and as he rallied his forces
again cut of rife shot, he realized
that he must aba ndon his tactics or
withdraw altogether. He had still
over $50 men left, and he had no
thought of abandoning the field.

EAGLE FEATHER.

Colonel Saunders watched the
movements of the redmen closely and
anxiously, and he soon discovered the
new plan of attack
1t would be made on foot, and the
lances would be abandoned for rifles.
There was a ravine about a mile to the
east of the soldiers position, and a
portion of the Indians would be GER
tain to advance under cover of that,
while others would advance from the
west and south. The field pieces were
planted to cover points where a rush
might be expected, and the lines were
aligned anew. Three kegs of powder
were taken down the ravine and de-
posted among the rocks as torpedoes,
and everything was ready by noon.
1t was half an hour later when the
Comanches divided into three com
mands and moved to the attack The
renegade had taught them how to
march on foot, and they came on al
most with the step of infantry. In
five minutes the fight was ra ging hotly
on all sides, and as the Indians began
to work UP, the ravine their fire began
to do considerably damage. They con-
centrated it on the artillery and
Saunders soon had five or six men
killed or wounded.
There was no rush on the part of
the redskins. Their plan was rather
to make a long fight of it, There was
constant fighting for over three hours,
both sides having more or less shelter.
The white men proved to be the best
shots, even though armed only with
muskets, and by and by the Indians
got tired of their waiting game.
1t was finally seen that large body
of them was gathering in the ravine,
and it was easy to see that the object
was a rush. One of the guns was
turned upon them. and when the shell
with which it was charged exploded it
exploded two of the kegs of powder.
How many were killed and wounded
none could say, because the explosion
hurled down the high banks and filled
the ravine for a hundred feet.
The calamity in the ravine ended
the attack on the part of the Indians,
aggressive. He opened on the herd
of ponies left just out of rifle shot, and
with two discharges of the guns scat
tered it. When the redskins attempted
to bunch in any considerable number
he opened on them with shell, and
such ponies as galloped within mus
ket range were brought down by the
soldiers.
Eagle Feather had more than
enough before the sun went down.
Once he rallied his warriors as if for
a last desperate charge, but they were
so thoroughly whipped that they re-
fused to charge. AS darkness fell he
he made no halt until reaching his
village, a hundred miles away.
None of the Indian dead were re-
moved, and only few of the WOUND
ed taken away. Two years later
when peace came, Eagle Feather ac-
knowledged his losses, and he had the
figures down close. OF his ponies he
lost all but a hundred. OF his war
riors he reached home with less than
two hundred. They were the flower OF
his fighting men left behind, and had
his loss taken in only the war ponies

MORTON SEASICK.
Secretary of the Navy Loses No Time
in Getting Ashore.

New York, Aug. 24.-Secretary of the
Navy Paul Morton has had a bad spell
of seasicknesS aboard the Dolphin, in
which he is making his first cruise at
sea. He looked pale and blue under the
eyes when he called on Rear Admiral
Rogers at the navy yard.
The Dolphin was saluted with boom
ing cannon as she swung into Walla-
bout Bay, and the commandment and his
staff went out to greet the new head of
the navy department. Secretary Morton
was all eagerness to get ashore and re-
turn the rear admiral's call, and it Was
noticed that he soon recovered his COM
plexion and his vim when he stepped
on terra firma.
Secretary Morton has rocked over the
prairies of the west in everything from
a blackboard to a private palace car,
but the roll of a private car isn't any
thing like the rise and dip of a convert
ed yacht.
Members of the secretary's party no
ticed that he kept to himself during-the
early part of the voyage, but the skip
per of the Dolphin says;
What he didn't keep to himself was
a plenty"

Strike in Woman,s Hotel.

New York, Aug. IA new manager
of the hotel opened here some time ago
for the exclusive entertainment of wo-
men has caused a strike by dismissing
the housekeeper. The new manager is
a man and the assertion of his power
was quickly resented by 10 of the "a
chambermaids, ten Scrubwomen and
cleaners, six mattresses, two stewards
and three cellarmen. They walked out
in body, leaving the beds unmade
and rooms undusted. For a time the
service was paralyzed, but a telephon,
girl and the steDographer took hold
and in a few hours had things run
ming, with the aid of servants pro-
cured from employment agencies.

it would have been a severe blow.
Enough lances and rifles were picked
up to load a wagon, and they were the
best weapons of their kind.
The direct results were bad enough
for the tribe. but discussions soon fol-
lowed to make matters worse. Eagle
Feather was deposed and became a
renegade, and the tribe divided into
three or four factions and never
united again. The Kiowas and Apa-
ches took advantage of the split to
make war, and in the course of a few
years a tribe which had ranked as the
richest and most powerful in the west
was scattered and broken and no long
er had a name.-(Copyright, 1904, by

WRECK is CLEARED UP.
Trains Running to Kansas City ON the
Santa E'e.

Mrs. Ida Scrinopskie of No. 300
Quincy street, the only person from
Topeka to be hurt in the Santa Fe
disaster at Tecumseh Monday night,
is under the care of a physician. She
is in her bed and states that she feels
considerably worse today than she did
yesterday.
A reporter for the State Journal
called at the house this morning and
she made the following statement:
''It was reported that 1 suffered
only a bruise on the knee. That isn't
a fact. 1 was seated in the rear of
one of the cars and when 1 heard the
cars going off the track 1 became
frightened and jumped up. When
the car came to a standstill the jar
threw me over the seats and 1 stopped
five seats ahead of the place where L
was sitting. Some men picked me up
for dead. L did suffer some terrible
bruises My back and shoulder and
my chest are severely bruised and my
ribs seem to be hurt on the left side.
1 can't tell now whether have any
internal injuries. My knee is badly
swollen and it is as black as iron. The
doctors tell me l will have to stay in
bed for at least two weeks.
1.-TWO Santa Fe doctors came to see
me yesterday. They wanted to take
me to the hospital, but 1 thought
would rather stay at home"
Mrs. Scrinopskie had her little boy
with her but he was not hurt in the
least by the accident.
Lynn Maddux, the negro tramp
who was riding the blind baggage,
was severely injured but will recover.
One of his legs was broken in two
places and the other in one place. He
is at the Santa Fe hospital. DR.. Kas-
ter stated this morning that he was
resting nicely and that he would pull
through.
The track at the scene of the de-
railment at Tecumseh has been re-
paired and trains are now running
over the line to. Kansas City. The
wrecking crew is busy getting the de-
rallied cars on new trucks and bring
ing them into, the shops at Topeka.
The wreck will probably not be en-
tirely cleaned up before tomorrow
