We were finishing breakfast, when
some one shouted, Look yonderl
There they comel" On the southern
slopes, crowd of horse men, not less
than thirty in number, were coming
at racing pace. They were no more
than mile away-the quarantine
guards-and would be upon US in
five minutes. l had not counted upon
so desperate a move as this, and was
nonplussed for the moment. Cow
boys and Indians jumped to their
feet, with fierce CALCULATIONS, and
each man seized his gun and rushed
for his picketed pony. White men
and Sioux were excited to the limit,
fierce for an encounter.
On came the vengeful cavalcade,
every second bringing nearer the
crisis, when American Horse, who
was standing quietly at my side,
turned to me.
"Mato Iahan," he said, "see!"
and he drew from the folds of his
hunting shirt, which / had noted was
uncommonly stuffed, a long roll
wrapped in dirty oiled silk. He

he tied on the flag by its leathern
strings. When he had finished l
seized the pole, ran to my pony, and
sprang into the saddle.

IL into ranks!"
For minute we sat in silence while
the cowmen bore down upon us.
Then, leaving the men in line, and
with the United States flag flying
above my head, I rode to meet the
quarantine guard. These, evidently
impressed by the unfurling of the flag,
halted at fifty yards, and their leader
came forward. l recognized him at
once as a catt1eman of years of ex-

1t had now come to blow hard from
the northwest, and fine mist of rain
was falling. The night was black.
In ten minutes both were snoring in

We slipped softly away to our

SENTENCE SUSPENDED
Chester Wedge Admitted That
 He Lost His Temper.

Chester Wedge of Division street lost control of his temper last Sum day night and gave Everett Balsano, aged four years. strapping. Ever ett's father and mother bought a grocery business on North Main street and Mrs Balsano thought she would help out her husband by saving him the expense of q bookkeeper in the store. But what to do with the It. tie boy puzzled her. A last she be- thought herself of the Wedges. It would be good idea to leave the boy with Mrs Wedge all day and at night he could go home. This plan work ed all right for a while but Everett hated to part from his mother morn ings for the whole day. Mrs Bal sano thought she would overcome this difficulty by leaving the boy with the Wedges all day and all night, too except sundays. This would deprive her of the society and company of her boy for a whole week, but then she was saving money for her husband.
 On Monday morning there was the same trouble with the boy as when he used to come home every night and go away every morning and Mrs Balsano then decided she might as we'll leave him with the Wedges alto gether except for an occasional visit or a ride out. She agreed with the Wedges for the care of him for a certain sum and she would have paid more had Mrs Wedge asked for 1t. She told her to be sure and correct Everett. She was positive of this, she said in the city court to-day when Wedge was on trial for assault. ing the boy last Sunday night.
 Monday morning Mrs Balsano saw her boy, and she was astonished to find marks of what appeared to her to be whip on his legs and body Mrs Wedge testified this morning that she has been very sick and had she been able to take care of the boy or he would not have been abused. She saw her husband beat him Sunday night because he would not say his prayers. It was with the belt the boy wore he was whipped. Her hus- band admitted 1t to her, and he ad- mitted on the witness stand that he had lost his temper. First he said he put the boy to bed. Then when he refused to say his prayers he closed the door on him leaving him in darkness. This frightened him and he yelled so that Wedge took the boys belt and laced him with it. He said he struck him only three times. He was very sorry but he had lost control of his temper.
 The little fellow told his story of the affair. He was not tall enough to look over the witness stand. Sen tence was suspended.

THE POLICE COURT.
Attorney Lynch Will Test Junk Law
 in Supreme Court.

In the city court to-day the con- tinued case against Max Rosenbaum, 1s. who was tried two weeks ago fer dealing in junk under his brothers license was taken up. Judge Bur pee said that evidently in this case at all events. the license was issued for the individual named in 1t and none other could do business under It.. He accordingly imposed a fine of S1O and costs. Notice of appeal was given by Rosenbaum's counsel. At torney Lynch and the accused vas released on his own recognlzance. Mir Lynch informed the court that he would test the law In the supreme court.
 Charles Dumas, a brick layer liy- ing on Round Hill street said he would leave it to the audience in the court room If his eldest son had not supplanted him as boss of his home. Dumas was charged with breach of the peace. His wife and son testi- fled that he was intoxicated yester- day and drove them out of the house several times.
 Mrs Dumas said she was house cleaning and to be interfered with in this way by her husband simply knocked out all her calculations.
 Dumas was asked why he wasn't at work yesterday and he told the court that he could get none to do. He was fined s7 and costs.
