uncsnny Chinese Legend.

There are the two celebrated tow
ers Of the imperial city, the Bell tow
er and the Drum tower. AS to the
casting of the bell in the former there
is this legend: There had been two
unsuccessful attempts and the life Of
the founder was threatened in case of
q third failure. His daughter discov-
cred by occult means that nothing but
the blood Of a virgin mingled with
the molten metal would insure sue
cess. So at the next casting she sac
rificed her life by throwing herself
into the molten metal, leaving only
one shoe behind. The casting was
perfect. But when the bell was first
struck "all were horror-stricken as,
after the heavy boom Of the bell,
came low wall, as Of girl in az
ony, distinctly saying the word 'heish,
shoe. And to this day people when
they hear It, say, There's poor Ko-ai's
voice calling out for her shoe.

UTss ACTING UGLY.
A Clash Between U. 8. Troops and
Redskins in Wyoming Ii
Imminent.

Sheridan, Wyo, Oct. 31-"We are
going to visit Chief Whitecow Bull
of the Cheyennes at any cost and will
not be taken back to Utah to starve.
We would rather die first" is the
substance of the answer of Chief
Kannapp to the soldiers. The In.
dams are getting holder and pay no
attention to the soldiers. A fight
was almost started Tuesday when
an Indian encountered a sentinel Of
the tenth cavalry. The Indian refus-
ed to turn out of the path and rudely
bumped against the soldier. Only the
Intervention of some cavalry men
prevented a serious encounter, as
other Indians came up. AS the Utes
are continually on the move in small
bands, cowboys are hired by the SOL
diers as scouts to keep track of the
Indians. The latest report from the
front locates the main Ute band In
the vicinity of Moorehead going
rapidly toward the Cheyenne reser-
Walton. Two more troop trains are
reported out OF Fort Robinson FOL
lowing the first train unloaded at Ar
vada this morning.
A messenger who has just arrived
from Moorhead, Mont, says the wild
est excitement prevails in that vicin-
ity on account of the depredations Of
Indians. Wagonloads of women and
children are being driven TO places
of safety in fear of more serious
trouble. The spear ranch is being
converted into a fort and Is well
stocked with guns and ammunition. The
ranch blacksmith shop, a log build
ing, is now heavily embarked and
loopholes have been bored in the
walls.
Billings, Mont, Oct, 31.-a tele-
phone message from Arvada, Wyo.,
Tuesday afternoon stated that the
renegade Ute Indians are intrenched
in strong position in the hills ad-
jacent to Arvada and that the Tenth
and Sixth cavalry troops are recon.
noitering the country preparatory to
closing in on the redskins.
