A Good Beginning


RLAZER began well, and some success he had
- seemed to justify Sheridans expectations. On
September 4 one OF my eutenants, Joe Nelson, with
forty or fifty men crossed the Blue Ridge to make
raid in the valley. He halted when he got to the
Shenandoah to wait for another party. Feeling
secure with the mountain behind them, the
dispersed, and some of them unsaddled their horses
and were lounging the bank of the river, feeling
secure from discovery.
Blazer happened to go over the mountain that
day and got on their track. No sign OF their being
near was given before the attack Nelson, the only
officer present mounted and rallied his men; but
when in the act of leading charge he fell from his
horse with his thigh bone broken by bullet The
men had then no leader and scattered.
Blazers report OF the affair said:
They fought with a will but the shooters (Spen-
carbines) proved much for them. My loss
killed and four wounded severely; his Nelson s. is
commissioned officer and priyates killed and
commissioned officer and four pryates wounded have
six prisoners.
That was the best fight ever put up against us,
and the first time in all their experience that my
men were taken by surprise.
The next day Sheridan reported to Halleck of

dark, and always moved off before it was daylight
Once | thought we had him. Returning from a raid
in the valley, was told about daybreak where Blazer
had gone into camp the night before. We started
him still on his roost. But Blazer had gone long
before daylight; he left his camp fires burning.

!. j. S. SURVEYORS
OFFICES TO CLOSE
Federal Jobs in Minnesota and the
Dakotas Likely to Be
Abolished.
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Jan. 11.-There is good
prospect that by the end Of the fiscal
year 1907, June 80, the Offices of
United States surveyors general for
Minnesota and the Dakotas will be
abolished, because the work of survey
ing the public lands in those states will
have been wound up by that time.
Several years ago Surveyor General
Eli Warner of Minnesota urged an al
lotment for completing the surveys in
his state, Of which very little remained
to be done. In his report for the fiscal
year 1905, Commissioner. Richards of
the general land office says of the sit
uation in Minnesota:
Sin the district of Minnesota, as the
ing June, 80, 1906, will probably com.
plete the surveys, the surveyor general
submits no estimate for public-land
surveys for the year ending June 80
1907. He anticipates that the office
work on surveying can be completed
during the fiscal year 1907, and the
office be discontinued at the close OF
that fiscal year. - .
North Dakota Surveys.
OF the surveys in the Dakotas the
report says:
1.-THE surveyor general Of North Da
kota makes no estimate for public land
surveys in his district for 1907, as all
the .uncompleted public land surveys
are covered by outstanding contracts
leaving to be provided for only the un
surveyed lands in Fort Bertho1d, Stand
ing Rock and Turtle Mountain Indian
reservations.

these Indian reservations the surveyor

CROP FALLS SHORT. 3 The Apple Supply Not Turning Out as We'll as Expected.

Burlington, Vt, Sept 2s.-A bulle- tin issued by the Vermont Agricul- tural Experiment station says that re- ports received within the past few weeks from widely separated fruit growing sections of the country indl- cate a great reduction in the apple trop as compared with predictions made earlier in the season. The gen eral situation seems to be that the crop is irregular and scattering. being heavy in some localities and light in others. A careful review of the data at hand does not justify an estimate of the apple production for 1905 at more than medium crop. Regard- ing the situation in Vermont. the bull letin says that reports received at the experiment Station from large num- bers of orchards indicate that in no instance is there more than a medium crop of fall and winter varieties of apples while in many cases 1t is light. It is doubted. on the whole whether the total crop in this state equals that of 1905.

HORSE CASE HEARD.
Waterbury Men Interested ln Ahak That his boon Hanging on | ysaI.

A horse case in which Waterbury men are interested and in which there was considerable of puzzle in volved, was tried before the court of common pleas in New Haven yester- day. The horse was owned by Isaac Feldzer. It was stolen about a year ago by Jacob Levi. Levi disappeared with the horse. harness and wagon, and after few weeks turned up in Wallingford, where he sold the har- ness to one Frank Fowler, who was represented in the case yesterday by Attorney McGrath. A day or SO after the sale Chief of Police Daniel O'Reilly of Wallingford heard of the horse theft and identified the harness bought by Fowler as part of the stolen outfit. Later the horse was recovered from one Kaplan and placed by Chief O'Reilly in the cus- tody of his nephew, Terrence O'Reil- ly, along with the harness. Still later Levi was arrested in Pennsyl- vania and brought to Litchfield coun- ty, where he was held for the su- perior court, but was released on bail and his whereabouts now is un- known.
 Meanwhile, Kaplan, failing to claim the horse from Liveryman O'Reilly, Liveryman Fowler demand ed the harness that had been taken from him and O'Reilly refused to sur render it. Then Fowler brought suit on replevin and this was the case that was heard yesterday in New Ha- ven. During the hearing two re- ceipts turned up, both given by Philip Apirian, 30 North Elm street, for the sale of the horse, one to Feldzer who owned the horse and one to Levi who stole the horse from Feldzer. The latter, it was supposed was given Levi in order to protect him and make 1t appear that the horse was his.
 Decision was reserved.

Stars and Stripes Saved James May.
 nard from Going to Jail.
 The stars and stripes saved an old soldier named James Maynard from probable fine or imprisonment in the city court to-day. Maynard is a tall rugged man though he said his age is over 70. He was arrested by Special Officer Horan this morning at 12:15, as he was trying to get into saloon on South Main street. "So help mo stars and stripes, l was that dry" said he, T was trying to get into a saloon. I'm an old soldier, and I was dry"
 Don't you think that such conduct was a disgrace to the stars and stripes, asked Judge Peasley.
 "Not at all your honor, not at all. I fought three hard years for the old flag and I be ready to fight three more, though I'm not as strong as l was once, but 1 guess I could give an account of myself all right. I'm an old soldier of the Seventh, Massa- chusetts, your honor on furlough from the soldiers home in Massa- chusetts, and I was on my |slast spree before going into fwinter quarters. I love the stars end stripes and I want to go to the hOme."
 How long will 1t take to get out of town" asked the court.
 "Just long enough you honor to get the next trolley" Sentence was suspended. The old warrior left tho room blessing everybody and the stars and stripes.
 Michael Farrell, Q cigarmaker on the road felt so good last night that he wanted everybody on East Main street to dance with him. He was in great humor and he loved the ladies land wanted them all to dance with him. Instead of dancing with him they ran away and the cigarmakel ran after them. His antics ended when Officer Donahue saw him try. ing to induce a clergyman to dance Farrell made all sorts of promises saving he was never in jail. He was given the alternative of paying fint of $1O and costs or going to jail. James Monroe who was released or probation yesterday was arrested ir the afternoon asleep on sidewalk on Canal street. He told the cour yesterday that he had $20 coming tt him from his employer in Watertown It seems he did not have a cent com ing. He was fined $5 and costs.

Good For Fort Smith.

H l.. Remmel of Little Rock, who accompanied Leslie NJ Shaw 10 that city recently from Mcna, said while there that the surveys for the project cd line from Fort smith 10 Prairie View. distance of 65 miles. 10 de velep the large quantity Of coal land owned by the syndicate represented by himself, George B. Rose and other Little Rock parties, had been complet- cd. and as soon as the estimates were made he and George E. Rose would go to New York to make ar rangements for the necessary money. The road will run south of the origin al route. because the danger from over flow would make extensive trcstle building necessary. The accepted route, however, would also be north of tho Arkansas Central. Work. he said, would commence simultaneously out of Fort Smith north. and from Prairie View South and all of the material for the construction would be aszerl- bled in Fort Smith Mir Bemmel da- clined to either affirm or deny the truth of the rumor that Hetty Green's money was to build the road, and an swered the query with laugh. and said that he did not care to discuss the identity of the Eastern capitalists who are to finance the enterprise.
