 Capt. Fechet had his Hotchkss thrown into action and he dropped a shell in front of the ghost. dancers and then the command charged down the hill.
 The shell had it's frightening effect the savages, who held aloof though still pouring in their fire, which was answered by the soldiers as Fechet himself took rapid course to the log house, with his life in his hands every step of the way.
 Inside the hut were found three of the Indian policemen dead and three mortally wounded The wounded, resolved exacting price for their coming death, still using their rifles against the besiegng foe. The soldiers finally drove the savages to flight.
 The few that were left living of the little force of Indian police told this story. Lieut.. Bull Head had arrested Sitting Bull and had led the chief from his cabin only to be confronted by hundreds of crazed savages. Catchthe-Bear and Strikethe- Kettle, two of Sitting Bulls men, strode through the Indian ranks, raised their rifles and fired. Bull Head was shot through the body Dying, he turned quickly and killed Sitting Bull Strikethe- Kettle killed Sergt. Shave Head. Instantly Po- lceman Lone Man killed Catch-the-Bear Then the surviving policemen sought shelter in the cabin and held off the ghost dancers has been told.

 The Northern Cheyennes had been sent to reservation in the Indian territory following one of the uprisings against the whites. Their hearts they left behind them in their old home and the warriors yearned to return.
 Late in the fall of the year 1878 the Cheyenne braves, taking advantage of the temporary ab- sence of their soldier guardians, gathered to- gether their women and their children and dashed northward in the direction of the land where their fathers had lived from the time back of the beginning of tradition.
 They had been told by the Indian agents and by the soldiers, who acted under orders, that they never could take the trail back to the north but they paid no heed tt what was told them, but gathering their possessions they set out.
 The Cheyennes' love of home, natural and sym pathy-compelling to everyone except to those who thought that Indian should have naught to do with homo sickness. was the cause of the destruc-

 The trail led to of the low hills that chain the reservation. The Cheyennes had taken refuge near the summit in a natural hollow. The sides of the hills rose sheer and slippery to the lurking place of the savages. It place admirably adapted for defense few men could hold it against regiment
 Capt. Vessels, in command of the cavalry, saw that the attempt to take the hilltop by assault would be to sacrifice the lives of half of his He threw a cordon around the hill, knowing that the warriors could not escape, and trusting that in a few hours hunger would force them to render. Meantime the Cheyennes were active. They picked off many trooper and at the day following the night of their flight ball struck Capt Vessels in the head. The wound not serious but it's effect to make captain and men eager for charge Capt Vessels went to the front of his troops and prepared to lead them up the slippery hillside in the face of the fire of the best Indian marksmen the great plains.
 All things prepared for the charge when to the amaZement of the troopers, the whole band of Cheyenne warriors, naked to the waist and yelling like devils, came flashing down the hill- side straight at the body of cavalry. The Indians had thrown away their rifles and armed only with knives. They were going to their death and they knew it, but death better than a return to the reservation which they hated.
 Vessels and his troopers of the Third cavalry tried to spare the Cheyennes but the warriors would have death at any cost. With their knives they plunged into hand-tohand conflict with the troopers and before they slain they exacted a price for their dying.
 When the time for the burial of the h. dians, Tea Kettle, a chief, found to be alive. but unconscious Tea Kettle was carried back to the fort and there made comfortable.

the death of the great Siou. chief. Philanthro- pists in the east who never had Indian tepee insisted that Sitting Bull murdered and that the blood of the savage was upon the head of the nation.
 It was left to Col Edward G. Fechet, now pro- lessor of military science at the University of Illinois, to learn the truth of tn: shooting of Sit ting Bull and to give knowledge of it to the peo- pie. Col (then captain) Fechet made one of the hardest rides known to the troops of the plains before he secured the facts in the of the passing of the great Sioux chief to the happy hunting grounds.
 Sitting Bulls home in log hut on the Standing Rock Indian reservation of North Dakota. In the summer of 1890 he gath cred many of his braves about him and told them in picturesque Sioux language that Messiah was to come who would lead the Sioux nation to victory; that the whites would be annihilated; that the buffalo would come back. and that the red would more take pos session of the earth
 Through the medicine Sitting Bull worked so upon the feelings and the superstitions of his warriors that they came to believe that by wear ing certain garments which called ghost shirts their bodies would be safe from the bullets of the soldiers
 When Gen. Miles learned of the teachings of Sitting Bull and of their rapid spread, the chiefs arrest was ordered. Accordingly Indian police led by Lieut. Bull Head and Sergt Shave Head were dispatched from Fort Yates to arrest the chief at his los hut miles away. Capt. Fechet or the Eighth cavalry ordered with his com mand consisting of two troops, and, if memory serves two light field pieces, to make night march to Oak Creek, about Is miles from Sitting Bulls house. there to receive the prisoner when he was turned by Lieut. Bull Head.
 Capt Fechet and his men reached the rendez- sgous at 4:s0 a. m on one of the coldest mornings ~Hf Dakota December day. There was no sign of the Indian police, nor yet of the scout whlcn Bull Head to send in advance to inform the cavalry officer of his coming.
 Fechet's soldier instinct told him at once that there must be trouble. His men had had the hardest kind of night ride. but they were will ing and he pushed forward rapidly. After he had made several miles he was met by scout who was riding like mad. The runner told Fechet that all the Indian police who had gone to arrest Sitting Bull had been killed by the ghost dancers, and that there were thousands upon thousands of them fully armed and in their war paint ready for battle.
 Fochet looked over his small command and " ant ahead at full gallop, his only thought being tc save such of the policemen as might be alive, cnd giving no heed to the other thought that ahead of him might be overwhelming numbers of the savages and the fate of Custer 1t was a terrible ride from that time on.

Will Stop Mining Under Centralia

1t is reported on the autho ity of
the mine superintendent that the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company has
decided to dicontinue mining the
Promrose vein which underlies the
town of Centralia and imperils the
safety of that town. The town has
for many years been haunted by
the thought of being engulfed by
the sinking of the earth over the
underground workings, and all APP
peal to the Courts was without
avail in bringing relief to the people
whose homes were in peril, as the
opinion of the Court was that the
corporation was entirely within its
rights in taking out the coal.

Forest Fires.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Calls Train
From Nescopeck-. Great Alarm.

A forest fire broke out at two
points along the S. H & w.
branch OF the Pennsylvania railroad
last Friday noon, which threatened
to do great deal of damage, but
was fortunately extinguished by
railroad employees after hard fight.
One of the fires broke out in the
vicinity of Wolverton and the 9th
er about three miles further west
near the DY yards. Famed by
the high winds prevailing the fires
spread rapidly sweeping over the
hills toward Shamokin. The resi-
dents thereabout were greatly a
larmed and the railroad authorities
to assist in extinguishing the fire
called the work train from Nesco-
peck.
The most of the work train em-
ployes, as we'll as the section hands,
gathered up along tie line are ac-
customed to fighting fire. From
the moment they arrived at the
scene of the fire they did good exc
cution and by six O'Clock had both
tires under control.

Avengers Hang Brute From Tree.
Take Negro From Sheriff and mete Out
Swift Death.

John Smith, the negro who at
Arcadia, Florida, dragged Miss
Mary Steel Ewing from her buggy,
two miles erom Arcadia, was taken
from the Sheriff and his deputies
and hanged to tree. Miss Ewing,
who had been to the city on a
shopping tour, was returning to
her home, four miles from the city,
when the negro sprang into the
buggy, seized her and dragged her
into the bushes. The young woman
begged and fought with the negro
to let her go, offering him Sroo.
Her screams attracted Will
Knowles and his brother, who
were nearby, and, as they rushed
to her assistance, the negro beat
haSty retreat.
After taking Miss Ewing to her
home, the men rushed to Arcadia,
spread the news and bloodhounds.
followed by a posse of 500 men,
soon were on the blacks trail. The
negro was found at a turpentine
camp and taken before Miss
Ewing, who positively identified
him. Sheriff Freeman and his de-
puties succeeded in placing Smith
i'll Jail, but, being afraid of an at
tack, attempted to spirit him out
of Arcadia. They were met by an
automobile party, held up and
forced to give up the prisoner.
The negro, seeing that he was
doomed to horrible death, pleaded
for mercy, but there was none in
the hearts of the crowd, who car
ried him to the edge of the city,
where they strung him up tree,
and left his body hanging.

Heirs Search for $4,000 Fortune.

Lying in the steel vault of some
bank or trust company of Phiadel-
phia or OF New York is more than
$50, 900, which is practically with
out an owner.
Last December. William SIMS, a
retired broker, died in Philadel-
phia, leaving an estate of over $50
900. SIMS had two sons, William
Jr., and Milton, and he left each OF
them Sc, 700, the rest of the estate
to go to charity.
Now comes puzzle which bank.
ers and lawyers have been trying
to solve. 1t is known fact that
SIMS died wealthy, and further that
he left the money, but the fortune
cannot be located.
From the fact that at the time OF
his death SIMS registered in hote,
here under the alias of William
Reynolds" it is supposed that he
used AN assumed name in opening
his bank account.
The attorney has sent out circu.
lars to every bank in the city as
well as to those in New York, ant
hopes to be able to locate the miss
ing fortune.
