CURLING ORGANIZED LABOR

The supreme court of the United

labor. which have long been under

It has decided, first, that corpora
tions cannot be held liable for the

diligence of foresight on the part Of
the corporation could prevent; Sec
ond, than an employer may dis
charge an employee for any reason
whatever, or for no reason at all;
and third. that the boycott is In re-

If the official labor leaders are
wise they will recognize in these de-

as whole has long lacked, but

development of the woman movement
in Switzerland has been marked. In
some parts of the country the parish
have been elected to the supervisory
committees of public hospitals and
penitentaries and educational commit

mentary committee to give their views
on the revision of the penal code, and
their recommendations include better
protection for young children, and the
independence of the married woman,
as regards her own property.
These reforms have since been kept
before the legislature by speeches and
petitions. and will no doubt be soon
cnac1ed.

KIT CARSON THE PATHFINDER.
By William S. Birge, M. D.
The Mysterious Great Desert Circumnavig gated
Ewing Young of Trapper Fame
Carson Outwits Navajoe
Indians.
CHAPTER II.

On the journey home they took the southern
TRAIL with which Kit Carson was familiar,
and reached Bent's Fort on the Arkansas, in
the summer of 1884. They had travelled
nearly four thousand miles, and had COM
pletly circumnavigated the mysterious Great
Desert.
At the close of this second expedition Kit
tried ranching in valley some twenty miles
east of Taos, New Mexico It was while
residing there that a wagon train of traders
started out on the journey overland. They
had gone but three or four days journey from
Taos when they were attacked by band of
Navajoe Indians, and although they fought
desperately, they were defeated, and had to
flee back to Taos, leaving the greater part of
their number killed by their inhuman foes.
The people Of Taos were very much incensed
at the Indians, and at once set about raising
band Of hardy and determined men to seek
out and punish them.
The party when organized contained forty
men consisting of Americans, Canadians, and
Frenchmen, with the same Ewing Young, of
trapper fame, at their head.
Kit Carson was in town at the time and was
gladly welcomed as a member of the expe-
dition. 1t was about three days ride to the
country Of the Navajoes, who were considered
among the bravest and most dangerous tribes
OF the Southwest. These savages like other
Indian tribes of that region, had way of
making treaties and then violating them be-
fore the smoke Of their calumet had fairly
cleared away from their treaty gatherings.
AS the party were near the headwaters
of Salt River, one Of the tributaries of the
Rio ella, they saw Navajoe Indian just dis
mounting on the river bank At sight of the
hunters he Immediately remounted, with the
intention of running away.
"That dog knows something about the red
skins we are AFTER" exclaimed Kit Carson to
Young, who at that moment was riding be-
side him.
"Let's overhaul him, then," said the leader
They both dashed away at once and being
we'll mounted, gained rapidly upon the terri
fed Indian. After several pistol shots had
been sent whistling about his ears he faced
about, refined up, and sullenly awaited the
approach of his captors.
Just before they came up, Carson observed
the Navajoe drop something stealthily. upon
the ground, and while Young rode on, he leap
ed from his horse and picked it up
TO his surprise and disgust Carson found
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-03-05

that he had picked up three fresh scalps,
which had been recently torn from the bleed
ing heads Of the vanquished whites.
With the consciousness that the murderous
wretch before them had taken part in the
massacre they felt like putting bullet through
him, but as he had surrendered this could not
we'll be DONE
Both Young and Carson spoke the Navajoe
language like native. They instantly de-
manded the whereabouts of the guilty party;
but the Indian shook his head, Simplifying that
he was unable to answer them.
''You ie,' exclaimed Kit Carson, shaking
the scalps in his face, "'you know all about
them, and if you don t tell, I'll lift your hair
within five seconds"
The sight Of the scalps and believing that
the hunter knew that he took part in the
murders, brought the Indian to his senses
and he pointed to range of hills to the west
giving the whites to understand that the
savages they sought would be found there.
awe will take you with u.s., said Young,
and the minute we find that you have deceived
US, that minute We shall shoot and scalp
you.'
The Navajoe made no objection to this, and
in obedience to the command of his captors
he rode between them until they reached
the main party Of hunters.
The Western border was always ready for
a fight and without delay the hunters struck
into gallop toward the hills alluded to.
They were found to be thickly wooded, while
the Rio ella, making a sweeping bend, flowed
in direction parallel to them upon the oppo-
site side.
Grazing over the top of these hills they
caught sight Of the Indian party whom they
were seeking, quietly camped near the river.
They numbered about the same as themselves,
and the moment they saw the whites, mani
tested an eagerness to engage in battle.
The precaution Of the leader prevented
more than a dozen of his men from exposing
themselves, so that the Navajoes considered
them no stronger than the party which they
attacked and slaughtered few days before.
Convinced that they were deceived regard
ing his strength, Young ordered his men to
lie down, and keep carefully out of sight while
they made an attempt to draw the redskins
into trap.
The halt and hesitation upon the part of the
trappers was mistaken for cowardce by the
Indians, who Immediately advanced to the
attack
When they started upon their charge they
were widely scattered; but they gradually
closed in until they came dashing forward in
one campact, solid mass of horsemen. The
half dozen hunters who were in the advance

to solve the problem as to whether
or not he stands on the right side of

things might be brought about:

to keep within the fve-minute limit.
That the public will give the Ros-
well Commercial Club credit when
they accomplish anything beneficial.
That> Mr.. McGaffey will win the

That the City Council and Judge
