The words were hardly Of his
mouth when a shrill yell ros m the
wood. and In an instant {. ,ud Of
warriors burst ont and charged across
the open, bowling, springing and way
ing their guns and tomahawks in the
air. Some of those in front bore canoes
between them and as they reached the
stockade they planted them against II
and swarmed up them as if they had
been scaling ladders. Others fired
through the embrasures and loopholes,
the muZZles of their guns touching
those of the, defenders while others
again sprang unaided on TO the tops of
the palisades and JUMPED fearlessly
down upon the inner side. p The Cana

when fresh wave burst suddenly over
the south face, which had been stripped
of its defenders Du Lhut saw in an
instant that the Enclosure was lost and
that only one thing could save the
house.

tered that they We're spent men. Al
ready the Indians had lost heavily. and
this fresh disaster made them recon
slider their plan of attack. Their fire
gradually slackened.
''Is it possible that they are going to
abandon the attack" cried De Catinat
joyously.
But the willy Du Lhut shook his
head "A wolf would as soon leave a
half gnawed bone as an Iroquois such
prize as this"
But they have lost heavily"
AYE. but not SO heavily as ourselves
in proportion to our numbers. They
have lost fifty out of thousand and
we twenty out of threescore. No. no;
they are holding council. and we
shall soon hear from them again. But

De Catinat was indeed weary to the
last pitch OF human endurance. Amos
Green and the seaman had already
wrapped themselves in their blankets
and sunk to sleep under the shelter Of
the stOckade. The soldier rushed, up
stairs to say a few words of comfort
to the trembling Adele, and then,
throwing himself down upon a couch,
he slept the dreamless sleep of an ex-
hausted man. When at last he was
aroused by fresh sputter Of musketry
fire from the woods the sun was al
ready low il. tho: heavens, and the
mellow light y Of evening tinged the
bare walls of the room. He sprang
from his couch, seized his musket and
rushed downstairs. The. defenders

Amos Green We're whispering eagerly
together.
What is it, then2 Are they coming

''They are up to some deviltry," said
Du Lhut, peering out at the corner of
the embrasure. "They are gathering
thickly at the east fringe. and yet the
firing comes from the north. 1t is not

one Had the guns been lost
so that they might be turned
upon tie door. all further re-
sistance would have been vain, but Du
Lhut's presence Of mind had saved
them from that danger. The two guns
upon the river face and the calS2es
were safe. for they were commanded
by the windows Of the house. But
their numbers We're terribly reduced
and those who were left were weary
and wounded and spent. Nineteen had
gained the house; but one had been shot
through the body. while, a, second ha1

Lhut, De La NOue and De Catinat were
uninjured. but Ephraim Savage, had a
bullet hole in his forearm and Amos
was bleeding from cut upon the face.
A few shots from the barricaded
windows sufficed to clear the inclo-
sure, for it was all exposed to their
aim. but ON the other hand the In
dams had the shelter Of the stOckade
now, and from the farther side Of it
they kept up fierce fire upon the
windows. Half dozen of the censi-
taires returned the fusillade. while the
leaders consulted as to what had best

fourteen children" said the Segneur

ued to be played here tomorrow be-
tween the local High school and Arms

Falls were represented. Plans We're
talked over and it was voted to try the
scheme of a league F. B. Murphy of
Newport was elected president. If at
any time any team drops out of the
league there is no forfeit. Each
manager will make out schedule
which will be submitted to the league
managers and the one which seems best
will be adopted.
After comforting with the Gettys-
burg battlefield commissioners, Con-
gresham Kittredge Haskins of Brattle.,
boro and i. w. Bush of Brookline re-
port that it is not probable that an
avenue will be laid out past the 10th
Vermont regimental monument, which
is not sufficiently conspicuous to please
the members of the association and
their friends. Congressman Haskins
and Mr.. Bush, committee appointed to
investigate the matter, will recommend
that the monument be moved about 500
yards to a point between the Vermont
state monument and the 14th regimen
tai monument on Hancock avenue, and
that the present site be marked with
tablet. The legislature may be asked to
make an appropriation to cover the cost
of the work.

Pullman car, Nine. Helena Modjeska
will visit Brattleboro Thursday evening.

unusual preparations have been made
TO ensure its artistic as well as financial
success.
George Anderson, who lives on Yer
non street, was injured while watering
an engine at Townshend Saturday. he
had lust finished the work when the
engine started and his right leg was
caught between the water spout and
the coal boards on the rear of the en-
CINE tender. 1t was thought at first
that his leg was broken. He was
brought here in the caboose of the en-
CINE and upon examination by a physi-
clan it was found that the leg was bad
" bruised but not broken.
The cancelling of the game between
Bellows Falls and Brattleboro high
schools scheduled for last Saturday at
Barber park was disappointing to the
students here, as a close game was an
ticipated. Brattleboro won the first
game or its home grounds by the score
of 6 to 5. The game was cancelled be-
cause several of Brattleboro s best men
were debarred from playing on account
of their studies. The manager of that
team is trying to arrange game there
for Thanksgiving, but if B. +. II. ):
alumni team can be raised, the local
high school will probably play here, as
such game was scheduled for that day.

the threatened invasion from Canada.
The book which will be placed in the
library for inspection is copy of the
original diary, which is too fragile from
age to bear handling.
Many housekeepers are beginning to
be worried about the price of farm sup
plies. such as potatoes, apples and eggs.
Potatoes are now selling for so cents a
bushel at retail and the supply comes
mostly from the Maine potato-growing
region. A fairly good crop was har-
vested around this part of the country,
probably enough to supply the local de-
mand, but many farmers are holding
their crop for an advance in price.
Apples are selling at from 1925 to $3.50
a barrel. The crop was rather small, so
small, in fact, that hardly barrel is
being shipped away, and buyers have
not considered it worth their while to
90 through this part of the country. 1t
is thought by local grocers, however,
that the farmers are holding the crop TO
take advantage of the better prices
later in the season. Eggs are the most
scarce of all. For some reason the hens
hereabouts have been Sinking their
duties for some time past. Not enough
eggs are brought in from the surround
ing country to supply the demand and
grocers have been obliged to fill their
orders with cold storage eggs. The
prices of native eggs range from 50 10
As cents a dozen, with hardly any to be
had. One housewife offered 60 cents a
dozen for eggs guaranteed to be fresh
and was unable to obtain them.

CANANEAWESTCO IN GOOD SHAPE
 SAYS W!LKEY
Denies Story That Affairs of Company Are in MuddIed State and Says Report Was Started by Enemies,

J. T. Wilkey, a prominent stock holder of the West Cananea Copper company. arrived in the city yester- day from Cananea. on business con nected with his company and while here denied to Review reporter that the affairs of his company were in a tangled condition, or that the stock holders were not satisfied with his management. Mir. wilkey stated that the stories put in circulation around The Review on October 4th, were caused by personal enmity and nau no foundation in fact.
 My record, in all my operations for the last few years" said MT. Will key, ''are well known, and the fact that men who have known me person ally during my operations in Arizona and Sonora, have placed their money with me, shows the confidence reposed in the management of the affairs of the Cananea West Copper company by those who are most vitally inter ested."
 MT. Wilkey further stated that the story circulated to the effect that the titles to the property of the Cananea West company were clouded. were ab- solutely false and that the contract for the title has been deposited with the judge of the first instance in Cana nea and can be seen by any inter Iested parties. Six of the stockholders of the Cananea West company pre- pared the following statement which has been forwarded to this paper for publication as follows:

Kirk. has sold out to the democrats and is owned by them. body and soul. and that the Miner can no longer be considered as a Iepuoii- can paper. One evidence of this is the fact that copies of the complaint filed against County Treasurer Gaines to recover monies alleged 10 be wrong fully withheld by him have been sent through .he mails to individual voters of Bisbee, and no mention of this or other matters vitally affecting the in terests of the republican party has been made in the Miner. It is openly charged that Mir. Kirk, together with others of his kind, who are apparently either obeving orders from democratic headquarters or are actuated by sell fish and improper motives, have adopt ed 8 rule-or-ruin, dog-in-the-manger policy. and by what could justly be termed QueStlCndDie metnO0S ana d secret. fy-by-pight campaign. are evi- dentlv attempting to force upon the people a ticket selected by themselves without consulting the voters at large.
 Tt is up to you whether you will by your votes approve an open, public campaign, in which you have ar op- portunity to participate. or whether you will meekly accept the orders of these self-corstituted dictators, who. knowing the injustice of their claims. and contrary to their former loud and insistent demand for an appeal to the people. have declined to participate in a mass meeting regularly and pub lioly called, in which every one had an opportunity to be heard. and ;n a se- c.et meeting. called by nobody knows whom. and held nobody knows where, have framed up ticket of their own.
