The sisters are Mrs. lola J. Handley,

AIRS. Large has two children. Mrs.
Smith four. Mrs. Handley three. and
Mrs. Watts six. a unique feature is
that all the sisters excepting Mrs.
Large have been twice married.
When crossing the plains Mrs. Watts
was captured by Sioux Indians. The
redskins surprised the party in the
night, and the leader of the band, BY
sign language. gave Mr.. Bayley. rhe

was the oldest of the children and a
beautiful young woman OF eighteen.
The rest OF the party would not be
harmed.
This happened at Fort Laramie. Mr..
Bayley implored the chief 10 spare his
daughter, bur to no avail. The whole
party was seized. bound and tied 10 the
ground, and the marauders rode on
with Caroline, whom the chief desired
10 make his wife or hold for ransom
from the Government,

The incident delayed the party for
some time, Mr.. BayIey informing the
Government troops at the fort or what

dispatched. and after a chase of sew
eTal days the Indians were captured
and the Well-nigh distracted girl was
restored TO her equally anxious parents.
The Indians We're severely punished
At the last pioneer reunion held here
few weeks ago the sisters decided TO
take the trip 20 Springfield. Since that
time, through correspondence, they
have practically agreed they viii start
for the East some time before Septem-
ber J. Their chief interest in the visit
10 their birthplace will, of course be
in the many changes that have taken
place since they left there so many
years ago.
Mrs. Watts. who confidently expects
70 live 10 be 100 years old, is looking
forward 10 the long journey with even
more relish than her more youthful sis

mates as the youngsters.

Mr.. Mancha Hits Back at MIR
Randall.

Glen Burnie, Md, Feb. III, 1906.
Editor of the Evening Capitals
The Examiner last week editorially
says the proposed new Road Law is
declared to be bill purely for the re-
lief Of Mr.. Mancha, of Glenhurnie
BY whom is il so declared? / had
never hard suuh thing intimated by
any one before l certainly never had
such thought enter my mind. How
could it benefit me more than other
taxpayers? Does he mean to intimate
that the bill is intended to make me
the engineer? IL so, it is ridiculous,
as under the law proposed l would not
be eligible, and would not accept it
If | were eligible and il were rendered
me. No such thought could have
ever entered the mind of any taxpayer,
who honestly seeks relief and favors
Improvement. If Mr.. Randall ever
heard such a suggestion, it must have
come from someone who is personally
benefited by the present system Of big
pay, little worK and poor results -
from man who is a stranger to good
thoughts aud honest motives.
Such editorials can only be intended
30 throw damper on the efforts of
the people seekiug relief and TO secure
bstter roads for the money they pay
Last year we .spent nearly SIS COO on
roads in our district aid got very little
beneficial results. Now, when dis
Rusted people are moving for improved
methods, this editor tries TO prevent
it by imputiug improper motives to
the movement. What objections can
anybody have to tie taxpayers asking
for some legislation in their interest
for the betterment of the county?
We have plenty of legislation in the
interest of special privileges, without
being ridiculed by the Examiner, but
as soon as the tax-ridden producers
begin to discuss measures for their re-
lief and benefit, which would injure
none but grafters, he begins to ridi'
Guile and impute wrong motives.
Please tell your many readers that ]
am not candidate for the position :;
that l could not accept it if it were
rendered to me All / ask is to get
good results for the money we pay.
Respectfully,
