where else in authen-
tic history can there be found an ac-
count of a battle won by force of
men when the odds against them
were 25 to 1. In no story which can
be told concerning the people of the
plains is there to be found a tale of
greater heroism than that shown by
a little contingent of enlisted men of
the Sixth United States cavalry down
near the Red river in Texas, in the
summer of the year 1874. The Sixth
cavalry has had a fighting history, but
this particular story shines bright in
its pages.
The Comanches, the Cheyennes and
the Kiowas were on the warpath and
were leaving a red trail all along the
borders of western Kansas. General,
then colonel, Nelson A. Miles, was or
dered to take the field against the saw
ages. His expedition fitted out at
Fort Dodge and then struck for the
far frontier. The combined bands of
Indians learned that the troops were
on their trail and they fled south to
the Red river, of Texas, hotly pursued
by two troops of the Sixth cavalry,
commanded by Captains Biddle and
Compton.
On the bluffs of the Tule river the

ARl J. WARMAck

With a heavy heart we would
drop a tear to the memory OF
our friend Arl Warmack.
His sudden death on Wednes-
day afternoon, about z O'Clock
at the residence of Mrs. Joe K.
Harrel's where he was boarding,
has brought the bitter cup of
sorrow to the lips of friends and
relatives. Arl was one of
natures noblemen in it truest
sense brave, generous, manly.
His was the soul of honor, and
his friends and friendships were
sacred to him.
Arl Warmack, the subject of
this simple memorial, was born
in Taylor township. this county,
and at the time of his death was
"a years of age. Arl had been
in bad health for some time and
while his friends were anxious
about him none of them dreamed
of his death coming as it did.
But God knoweth best.
1t is sad at any time to stand
beside the bed of the dying and
watch LIES ebbing tide drifting
the loved one slowly, perhaps,
but surely into the great ocean
of eternity, but when one is
snatched away so suddenly, only
makes it harder for the loved
ones to become reconciled.
To the broken hearted father,
mother, brothers and siste rs,
who sit in sorrow where his
foot steps shall never again find
echo, we extend the sympathy of
one who loved him as a brother.
When they have drained the cup
may the peace that passes all
understanding come to them
from One who cares for each
little sparrow that falls.

The past week was not very
favorable for planting.
| fear that those who had
planted corn before the cold
snap will have to plaut over.
The farmers of this community
say they have plenty bottom
land since the big rains.
Our Sunday school was a little
slim last Sunday. Don't get dis
couraged on that account but
work the harder. We think the
membership will increase when
the weather gets better and the
mumps let up in this community.
Do not forget the singing Sum-
dav afternoon. A great deal OF
interest is being manifested
already.
We had two very interesting
sermons last Sunday and at
night by Revs. Barham and
Ferguson.
Rev. E. D. DeLaughter will
preach for us next Sunday at IL.
Everybody come.
Mrs. E. DeLaughter and
daughter, Mrs. Blair, spent last

There is some talk of a concert

A man may use the wart on the

ROBERT BROOKS

Last Friday afternoon the sad
news flashed over town that
Bob Brooks was dead. This was
a shock to the entire community.
as only very few knew that
Bob was sick. He had been sick
for several days but not serious
enough to give his closest rela-
tives any fear. He was taken
rather seriously only day or
two before his death. He died
suddenly. He was living with
his mother in the eastern part Of
town. Mr.. Brooks was the
eldest son of the late J. T. Brooks,
who was drowned in the Mis-
souri, river three years ago this
month. He was young man of
splendid business qualifications,
and how sad that he should be
cut off in the very prime Of life,
only thirty years old.
His funeral was had from the
family residence Sunday morn
ing, Rev. w. A. Steel officiating,
and was buried in DeAnn Gem
etery by the Knights of Pythia
of which order he was an esteem
ed member.
