FAMOUS KANSAS HOTEL BURNT.
Guests were Forced to Jump from
Windows on All Sides.

Topeka, Kans., Jan. 14.-The
Copeland Hotel, famous as stop
ping place for legislators and politi-
clans, situated block from the State
Capitol, was destroyed by fire early
to-day. Eevery room was occupied,
the guests numbering 100, principal
ly Legislators. The firemen were I'M
able to make headway in fighting the
flames.
Most Of the occupants were forced
so make their exit by fire escapes.
Many jumped from the windows on
all sides, sustaining more or less Sc
rious injuries, the snow, however,
partially breaking their falls. A
dozen or more persons suffered bro
ken limbs and bruises. /. E. Lam
bert, Of Emporia, prominent politi-
clan, is missing.
The hotel was a fCur-Story struc-
tnre with wide Railways and numer-
orts escapes. The main stairway was
built around the elevator and the
flames, shooting from the lower part
of the building up the shaft, soon
shut off this means OF escape. Within
an hour only the walls remained.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
Loss, 100000.

impressed with the present condition
Of the Indians as compared with that
OF the past The article contains not
only something Of interest, but of
historical value as well:
a True story.
(From the Arapaho Bee.)
Forty years ago last Friday (No-
rember 27) occurred Gen. George
Clusters battle with the Indians on
the Washita. The old bottlefield is
about two miles northwest CO Chey-
enne, about 40 miles from Arapaho.
1t was a cold, bleak winter. The
ground was covered with snow. All
day long Gen. Clusters army had
followed the trail of war party.
The Indians had done much stealing
and killing along the Texas and Kan
sas frontier. Custer chose the win
ter as the best time to punish them
The unfortunate affair OF the battle
was that the Indians who refused to
go on the war path were extern!iHat-
ed. Black Kettle camped up above
those out on the war path and held
his band aloof from those commit
ting the depradations and advised
peace.
Gen. Clusters Usage scouts led
him to this camp and ut daylight,
forty years ago last Friday, the regi-
mental band began to play Garry
Owen" and the attack commenced
on all sides. The Indians were wholly
taken by surprise. Every avenue Of
escape was cut off and when they
attempted to retreat were shot down.
The battle was over before noon.
Eight hundred and seventy-eight po-
nies were rounded up by the soldiers
and shot. The war parties were
camped along the Washita from
Cheyenne to Harmon, and about
noon the warriors began to arrive on
the scene OF action. BY four o'clock
in the afternoon the hills were black
with Indians looking for fight.
Custer run an American bluff,
pure and simple. His horses were
without feed and tired out. The am
munitiOn was low and he was out
numbered five to one. But he
moved to attack the gathering hosts.
The Indians made clever feint to
retreat in order to fall back and
fight on their chosen ground. Gus
ter quickly took advantage of this
manoeuvre, wheeled around and
beat a hasty retreat back to Fort
supply, which he had established.
The Indians grievcd that Lhev had
let him get away. They claimed that
they could have done what their
northern Cheyenne brothers did if
he had come down the Washita, a
few miles further.
TO this day our local Indians hate
him. When they heard OF the Big
Horn massacre and learned that Gen.
Custer was no more, they said:
''Now we can sleep"
The atrocities committed a.. this
battla and at the Cheviton massacre
would make a savage think he was
as tendcr-hcartcd as Il chicken. A
young half-brecd, named Custer,
who lives in the camp south Of Ara
paho, Is the son of Gen. Custer, so
his mother claims. She was a
handsome young Indian girl then.
During the battle she, with six other
girls, crawled to a thicket and hid,
but were captured and taken to the
commanders tent.

those Of other children on the stage.
The house was in darkness and a
panic was averted only by men who
threw their coats about the screaming
children.

memory of Henry H. Rogers. 1t has
been given to but few men to know
the many, many kind and good things

of the deeds inspired by his great, ten
der heart"
No less tenderly Rev. John Haines
Holmes spoke of the departed member
of his congregation Choosing his text
from the twenty-third Psalm, the as
sociate pastor gave words OF comfort
to the bereaved family.

In accordance with the wishes OF
Mr.. Rogers, the services followed the
