woman a coin. She then expected me to
contribute, but upon seeing my impatient
refusal, there came into her eyes such a
malicious look, never equaled before or
since in human eyes, directed at me in
deadly enmity.
l again encountered this malicious re-
gard of Salvation Army beggars. 1 was
amused, as well as disguised, by the plain,
self-evident beggary of their actions. At
about clock of the evening, the beggar
band came from the East of the city court
house square to the North side of it, in
front of a cigar-store. l was one of the
crowd of men in front; and straight to us
they hocked, the beggars marching down
the street pavement. For ten minutes the
beggars sung and talked-and then c. o.
ID. But did not deliver, and all the NAL
ice of a weak-faced and evidently disrepu-
table woman showed in the beggar hays
eyes. And straight back to their headquar-
tiers on the East side they marched.

MOOSE HORN OF PLENTY.
Dying Bulls Struggles Reveal Vein Of
Gold to His Captors.

Dying Bulls Struggles Reveal Vein Of
Gold to His captors.
Oscar T. Nelson, formerly Of Belling-
ham, Wash, recently wrote to relatives
In Spokane, Wash, from Fairbanks.
Alaska, that by killing bull moose
near Fairbanks creek he and his part.
ners, Washburn and johnson, pros
pectors, have come into fortune by
the discovery Of vein Of gold uncov-
cred by the long horn of the moose in
Its death struggle.
The animal was shot from blind at
q distance of $50 yards, the first bull
let striking vital spot. While quar-
tering the moose Nelson discovered
that the rock which had been exposed
from under a layer Of moss torn loose
by the animal bore gold in large guam
titles.
The hunters made closer investiga-
ton and Immediately staked out sew
eral claims, on which they filed at
Fairbanks. A rush Of miners from
Fairbanks followed the discovery.
Nelson adds that the animal Is be-
lieved to be the famous Anaconda
moose which was frequently seen by
miners operating along the creek. The
spread Of antlers is little more that
seven feet, and the carcass weighed
1900 pounds.

seen the others retreat.ng, they uncere-
moniously left, and De Rudlo, seeing
the guidon left behind, rode back to
get 1t. which he did, but saw thirty five
or forty Indians coming. He dashed
off, and they fired volley; but, lean
ing low on his horse, 1t went high over
him. He rode into the thick under
brush, when they fired many shots into
the woods, the bullets cutting the
b.lncil,s ali around him. He crossed
the creek, scrambling up the bank,
when suddenly he saw hundreds Of In
dians in front of him. not fifty yards
distant, shooting at the retreating SOL
oilers, with their backs toward him. He
Instantly saw that he was entirely cut
of. While thinking how desperate a
run for 1t 1t would be, the thought Of
wife and children nerved him. and he
was about to brave 1t when a young
Indian about thirty yards distant on
his right fred and killed his horse
The shot attracted the other Indians,
and De Rudio jumped down the bank,
hiding In an excavation, and several
volleys were fired, so accurately SEEM
ingly that the Indians thought he must
be killed.
a ~"rrih'n Yelling began among the
.anulans, and ali at once the firing
ceased. Peering out, he saw the cause.
Captain Benteen's column was COM
ing over the hills and had attracted
their attention. 1t aroused the hope
fhnr they would come near enough for
him to join them, but in a few minutes
th"Y disappeared, and the Indians all
started oil in that direction. Renos
command had evidently rallied, and
thny al got together, SO his only hope
was to crawl around under the under
brush and get as near Reno's COM
mard rs he could, which he could
plainly see. At the same time there
was a movement on another hill on the
tight, and he thought he saw for
mcni,nt General Custer and some Of
hcers, aud then they disappeared.
While quietly going through the brush
he heard whispered "Lieutenant,
lieutencnt!" Then he recognized Pri-
vate O'Neil Of G troop and Gerard, in
terpreter. and Scout Jackson. The
two latter had horses but O'Neils had
been killed.
Gerard and Jackson would not desert

lines Of bluffs on either hand offering
positions that. defended by resolute
and well armed men, would be almost
impregnable.
suddenly. while standing around a
fire at a temporary stopping place, we
were startled by quick succession of
unearthly yells, and soon after a band
Of Crows, painted hideously. burst into
camp at full gallop. They reported
heap Sioux coming toward us, more
Sioux than they had ever seen before.
This our informant expressed clearly
In sign language, showing us the Sioux
mounted and coming to cut our throats
The interpreter soon after arrived and
confirmed our Interpretation Of the In
dian sign language. Soon we were
startled by simultaneous rush Of
the Cree scouts. who announced the
Sioux. The troops Immediately formed
In line of battle, and the scene was an
animated one. Two companies of the
)
and Lieutenant De Rudio, were to sup
