the ears of the men in Leonard's store

One of the incidents of the battle was
the picking off of an Indian by Bat Mas

mounted red cavalryman behind a small
sod outbuilding took station above the

FIGURES IN THRILLING
NARRHTIVE OF Plains
James LangdOn and Fred j. Leonard Figure Prominently in
The Battle Of Adobe Walls" in Which % Hunters
VanQuiShed 800 Indians

James Langton and Fred ]. Leonard
of Salt Lake are central figures in a
thrilling episode OF the plains related in
Pearson's Magazine for January in the
article entitled The Battle of Adobe
Walls. The author is Edward Camp
bell Little The narrative is one that
tells the story of how. in 1874, twenty
eight buffalo hunters from Kansas van
quished 500 Indians in the Texas Panhan-
die. Many of the men who were partic-
ipants in the tragedy are known in Salt
Lake.
In the spring of 1874 the Kansas buffalo
hunters invaded the LlanO EstacadO. It
is said that they slew more than hum
dred thousand buffaioes in five months
The headquarters Of this company of
hunters was IT Adobe Walls, 40 miles
southwest of Dodge City. This deserted
station soon sprang into renewed lie,
for three business houses and a black
smith shop were established and business
was flOurishing.
Their Food Supply Threatened.
The Indians witnessed the invasion with
alarm, for it threatened to wipe out their
ch9f means of subsistence. lncensed 10
the highest degree, the Indians led 10y

of white woman named Parker
In the Indian forces there was the
flower of Comanche Kiowa, Cheyenne and
ArapahOe nations, the most skilful riders
in all the world. For this army the med
1cine man pfeulcteft easy VICTORY.
Four men and the only white woman IN
the southwest at the time slept behind the
barred doors Of Langtons. Thirteen men
were sleeping in and about LeOhdrd :,
The remainder of the company was At

The Indians first attacked hunter
camp. and then proceeded to engage III
the main assault. The accidental break
ing of a lOdgepOle and the crash that IOi-
lowed at Leonards at this Opportune mo-
rnent awoke the white men in the stock
ade. The hunters in the open escaped Dy
a narrow margin.

THE IEWE BOARD FUNDS.

Advices have been received by
Acting Governor Msnship from Hon.
+. A. Montgomery at Clarksdale
with reference to the action of Chan
cellor Denton in dissolving the tenn
porary injunction granted some
time ago to restrain the upper levee
board from letting out its funds to
the repositories selected by the
board in accordance with the new
law.
Those interested in the bank in
which the money has heretofore
been deposited, and therefore inter-
terestcd in keeping it there, have
been granted an appeal but denied
a supersedeas, which now leaves the
levee board with the privilege Of
letting out the funds according to
the original program, at the same
time facilitating the matter Of get
ting the case before the supreme
court, as il will be to the interest of
that element, il it gets a reversal, TO
get it as early as possible.
Dir. Montgomery, as attorney for
the leyee board, will be here to
handle the boards side Of the case
before the supreme court, and feels
confident that the action OF the chan
cellor will be sustained there
