syth Of his fight with the Sioux and the
Cheyennes under the famous chief, Roman
Nose in eastern Colorado in the year 1868.
Gen. Forsyth went into the army from his
native city, Chicago. He is now living in
Washington. The odds against his force in
the fight with the band of Roman Nose were
20 to /, and as the senate document has it
though this part of it was not written by
Forsyth-the battle twas a splendid example
OF the hardihood, courage and capacity to
adapt themselves to circumstances which so

troops on the frontier"

JACKSON PEOPLE STILL
 AFTER A FRANCHISE

Flew Orleans. Aug. 1s-Advices re- ceived in New Orleans today from Jackson, Miss. say that the baseball association of that city has announced that 1t has secured an option on 8 Southern League Club franchise. The association, in its announcement. guarantees Jackson a franchise, if the citizens will subscribe 31O,00O towards 1t by Thursday night, when the option expires. One-fifth of the amount was raised within one hour after the an- nouncement, the report says.
 A mass meeting of the citizens has been called for Thursday night when. 1t is asserted, the requisite amount will in all probability be completed. The baseball promoters of Jackson further guarantee that if the people desire 1t, the franchise can be de- Iivered immediately and the present season finished out.
 The news from Jackson created great surprise at the headquarters of the New orleans Association. as It was not thought that any club in the league seriously considered disposins of its franchise. President Chambers. of the Montgomery team, which was recently reported as being willing to dispose of its franchise, asserted here last week that 1t had been decided to retain the franchise.
