Kansas City, Dec. 14.-An elope-

the middle of the Red river. directly
followed by a gunshot from ambush
which wounded the bride groom, was
the experience of Joseph Anse, a Tex
as ranger, and Miss Annie Buntz. a
Choctaw Indian girl. The bullet shat
tered Anse's left arm.
Anse had courted the Indian maid
en- for six months. Clandestine meet
ings followed the objection of her
father TO Anse. He did not want her
to marry outside of her own race.
Anse and the girl fled on horseback
in the moonlight. A minister, waiting
at the junction of the Red and Kimi-
tia rivers. performed the ceremony in
mid-stream. The party wheeled their
horses TO continue on their way when
a rifle shot rang out and a bullet buz-
zed past the minister's face and Dierc-
ed Anse's arm. The rifle was fired
from the woods on the river bank.
Quick as flash the ranger whip
ped his revolver from his holster and
fired into the woods near the spot
where the flash was seen. Fear ful

such length. Other American ships

the voyage of the Russian admiral

Hampton Roads about o'clock on the
morning of December 16, and as the
Mayflower carries him within signal
ing distance, every ship will greet him
with twenty-one guns-the national
salute. Then the flag officers and cap
tains will go aboard the MaytioN ar and
extend their greetings, after which the
fleet will get under way.
The May1ower will lead the way
until she reaches a point near the en-
trance Of the Roads. Then she will
yeer off to one side, allowing the fleet
to pass. The battleships will pass in
review in single column. The jack
cts, many of whom have never had a
whiff of salt water before. will man
the rail-, as the navy officers say.
That is, they will all stand on deck
at attention. crowding close to the
rail- where the president can see
them.
AS each battleship gets just beyond
the Mayflower, it will thunder its fare

FISH-HARRiMAN
CONTROVERSY
Harriman'S Premiership In
R. R. World Is In Balance
In This Battle.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-Wall street is
awaiting with bated breath the result
of the Fish Hartman contest for su.
pramacy in the affairs of the Illinois
Central, which will be decided at the
meeting of the stockholders of the
road in Chicago today. Never before
has such a determined and vitriolic
controversy, at one time descending to
the stage of personal encounters, been
carried on by the railroad magnates OF
the country. Today's battle will ad-
mittedly be the greatest in the cam
paign which the many enemies of e.
H. Hartman are waging to depose him
from the dictatorship of railroads COW
erning one-third of the area Of the
United States. Uncertainty as to the
outcome of the battle reigns in the
camps of both opposing financial arm
les.
Upon the votes of hundreds of small
stockholders, it is admitted, may de-
mend the issue of the warfare. In the
contest of Stuyvesant Fish against
Car Hartman the former is apparent
ly the faVorite of the small investors.
About 20 per cent. of the Illinois Cen
tral stock is held in Europe, the greater
part of It in Holland, and it is known
that proxies for at least 10000 shares
of stock have been sent to Fish by the
Hollanders. These shares, adherents of
Fish believe will swing the election
oF ctr iy1N Nax
England and the South have also am
nounced their allegiance to Fish.
If the present fight should go against
him, as it appears likely to do it would
probably mark the beginning of the
end of Harriman's career as a railroad
king and a leader in finance. Until
Hartman lost control of the Chicago Il
Alton railroad short time ago, he
! had lost only two battles in his fnan4
I cial career The Northern Pacific he
failed to grab because he was opposed
/ by monarch greater than himself j.
P. Morgan, and the Kansas City South
[ ern, formerly the Pittsburg & Gulf, he
! was forced to disgorge after almost
I running it, as a result of the combined
opposition of many small Dutch stock
! holders.
+ With the Dutchmen again lined up
{ against him, the situation presents an
/ interesting coincidence, inasmuch as
| the Illinois Central like the Kansas
/ City Southern, is north and south
line in the Mississippi valley, deriving
it's traffic from many trunk and trans-
continental lines running east and

ACTUAL WORK
NOW BEGINS
Steel Gang Having Con-
StructiOn In Charge
Arrived Yesterday

The steel gang which will construct
the railroad bridge across the Clear
water river for the O. r. & N. COM
pany reached the city yesterday and
was on the ground today preparatory
to the beginning of actual construction.
The first carload of material for the
false work, consisting of piling, reach
ed the city last night, and the derrick
and air car are also here.
The first work will be the construc-
ticn of the span from the north abut-
ment to the first pier which stands in
the stream near the north shore. 1t
is expected the false work for this span
will be in place within few days, ana
within a short time the delivery OF
steel will be commenced. The con-
struction of this span should not re-
auire more than two weeks, after
which the false work for the big draw
swan will be commenced.
The construction of this span will
REQUIRE about four weeks, but other
work toward the south bank will be
carried on simultaneously so that 1t Is
expected the bridge will be completed
and ready for service by the latter
part of November,
The bridge will be constructed by
the firm of McCreary & Willard OF
Spokane, and under the direct super
vision of c. A. Joseph, who IS now II
