Three men had lain down to sleep In
a Cuban tungie-three men in ragged
uniforms and unkempt In appearance
to the last degree. Two OF them wore
bandage~ over fresh wounds. and the
trio looked gaunt and starved and slept
as II sleep had not come to them for
several nights before II was s O'Clock
when they threw themselves down
among the land crabs, with the evening
air swarming with mosquitoes. and It
was an hour after midnight when one
Of them awoke and softly crawled over
to another and whispered in his ear:
''Diaz. awake. II Is timer'
"Is the Yankee sound asleepy" asked
The other as be sat up.
Tie sleeps like a pig. Things could
not be better for u.s.
The two moved away like ,erpents
through the rank grass and jungle un-
I'll they had covered a hundred feet.
and then they stood up and made their
way swiftly along IN the direction of
the Spanish lines.
There were plenty Of American ad
venturers In the ranks OF the patriots
r,en whose sympathies were on the
right side and who ran the blockade
and Joined the Insurgents to fight for
them as they had fought for the Union
years before. Such men were ut first
given the hand OF welcome, but when
their dash and bravery had earned
them promotion there were envy and
jealousy to be reckoned with.
The man left lying alone In the jun
gle was Tom Warner. good natured,
reckless and careless. Here. where he
had been fighting for six months. near
ly always On scout duty. he was called
Captain Warner. He had a commits
sion from Garcia. but the title was n
barren one. He had furnished his own
weapons and clothing and had never
drawn penny from what facetiously
might be termed the Insurgent treas
ury. He had won praise and admira-
ton for time, and then jealousy crept
In to make certain men hope In secret
that the Spaniards might make him
captive. They had heard of the Yam
kee fighter-aye. and felt his blows
and they had said that they would give
him no quarter II they were lucky
enough to capture him. He had sent
back a message of defiance and gone
his way. and II never once entered his
mind that some OF the men whose bat
ties he was assisting to fight might
bctray him.

selves and at the same time put the
Yankee into my hands?" asked the
colonel into whose presence they were
conducted from the picket post.
ISL. Senior Colonel. We wish to fight
against our good friends the Spaniards

many Of yonr brave men. The reward

OF all ages. He was born in the
huge laps of famine and nursed
at the bosom of poverty, though
he never drew one drop of cow
ardice nor inhaled one breath of
deceit. He has a just claim on
the respect of every man that
lives. He has made his race
proud; his race should not make

MAY QUIT THE
BEMID.II BAND.
Conductor Symington Dis.
couraged With Prospect
For Making Good Band

Thomas Symington, director of
the Bemidii band, may decide to
quit the Bemidji musical organi-
cation on account of the poor at
tendance at practice offthe mem
bers of the band and the ill sue
cess which has attended him IN
holding the band together. At
the time of the last concert given
by the band there we're all mem
bers, besides Mr.. Symington.
Since the concert a number of
the men have quit the band and
have accepted positions in other
cities because Of their failure to
secure suitable positions in Be-
midi. Naturally. he is some
what discouraged with the pro-
spect. The contract under which
the business men of the city are
giving financial support to the
band calls for six indoor con-
certs during the winter season.
With the limited number of men
which now makes up the band it
is utterly impossible to give these
concerts, and unless the mem
bership is increased in the near
future Mr.. Symington will re-
sign his position as director. Mr..
Symington, both as a band direc.
tor and musician, is one Of the
most competent men in the bust
ness. He has had more than 80
years experience and has direct
ed musical organizations for a
mum Der of first class shows, in
Guiding the AL G. Fields min.
strels. People generally through
out the city wish TO- see a first
class band in Bemidji and it
should be the endeavor of every
good citizen to assist Mr.. Sym
ington as much as possible in
securing new members and max
ing the band a good one.

Small Boys Run Away With
Horse Belonging to j.
K. Titus.
CAPTURED NEAR NARY AFTER
EXCITING CHASE.
One VIII Be Sent to RefOrmatOry
And The Other to State School
at OWatOnna.

A team of horses belonging to
J.K. Titus, farmer living three
miles northwest of Bemidji, was
last night stolen in this city by
Willie Hays and Fred Brookin,
two boys about 10 years OF age.
The horses and sleigh were
stolen while Mr.. Titus was at
tending lodge in the Odd Eel
lows hall, the horses being fast
ened at post out side the build
ing.
The two boys unfastenod the
horses and drove to Nymore,
where they we're told to return
to Bemidji by the night patrol
man. When the discovery of the
theft was made after the lodge
meeting had ended Mr.. Titus
Immediately notified the police Of
the affair and Capt. Helmer Sc
cured livery team and in COM
pany with Mr.. Titus, drove to
Nymore. Upon his arrival there
he was informed by the patrol
man that the stolen team had
been in Nymore but that the
boys had been instructed to re-
turn to Bemidii. Capt. Helmer
and Mr.. Titus started back to
this city and on the way met the
two boys driving the team. Capt.
Helmer attempted to halt the
boys. but upon being told to stop,
young Hayes, who was driving
the horses, whipped them up
and started toward Nymore.
The livery team was turned
around and started in pursuit OF
the fleeing horse thieves. When
the boys arrived at Mill Park
young Brockin leaped from the
sleigh to the ground, leaving the
other boy alone in the vehicle.
The livery team was fast gaining
on the youngster driving the
team, and, seeing that he was
about to be cut off, he suddenly
turned and drove the horses to
the M. & I. railroad tracks, which
he followed at "a breakneck speed,
the policeman and farmer being
close at his heels. The race kept
up until the two teams had
reached a point about a mile
north of Nary, where young
Hayes finally surrendered to the
