the same is true as to freight trains
carrying freight both in carload ana
less than carload lots.
"The valuation Of the roads has been
fixed by The court as shown by the
findings of fact. The entire state ana
interstate earnings of each of the ROADS
within the state is known and fixed
to a. certainty. The expenses are
known and fixed. To apportion these
expenses must be done according 10
one Of the, two theories, and the cor
rect theory is that according to reVe-
nue.. One theory or other must be ap-
piled to both freight and passenger
expenses, and the court should not
adopt the one theory as to part, ana
the other theory as to another. Ihe
court has adopted the revenue theory
because a great number of the best
railroad experts of the country,
against very limited number to the
contrary have so testified.
Two Cent Fare Causes Losses.
'"The passenger earnings under the
2-cent-fare law of 1907, allowing moth
ing for extra cost over interstate bus
iness, gives no return whatever to the
Rock Island, st. Louis & Hannibal,
Kansas City, Clinton & Springfield,
and the Great Western. The other
companies will have the following: The
ST. Louis & San Francisco between
3 and per cent; the Santa Fe between
4 and per cent; the Kansas City
Southern, a small fraction over per
cent; the 6. K. & T., between and
per cent; the Burlington between 3
and-4 per cent. But all this Is arrived
at by allowing no extra cost of serV-
ice. But to add the extra cost for
freight an'l passenger, there are no
earnings over expenses. This is con-
fiscation under the constitution.
-'It being legislative act, and not
a judicial one, this court can not flx
rates. If it could, 21s cent passenger
rates would be fixed for the stronger
roads, and 3 for the others. But that
is for the legislature acting itself with
experts, such as the state employed in
like assistance"
No Increase in Travel.
Judge Mcpherson also says in the
decision: when the statutes in ques-
ton We're enacted. it was believed by
many that by reducing the fare there
would be much more travel. For a
month or SO this proved to be true.
But with the novelty gone, the testi-
nrony shows that the increase has been
less. than per cent and more nearly
per cent"
He says further as to the abolition
Of passes that the evidence shows the
passenger revenue is increased by rea-
son thereof, less than l per cent.
Back to 3-Cent Fare.
After the decision had been handed
down, views Of the attorneys of both
sides of the controversy were sought
as to what immediate effect the opin-
ion would have. While several railway
attorneys intimated that individual
railroads soon would go back to the s.
cent passenger rate, none was able to
state that this would be done, or if
done, when the action would be taken.

sharp skirmish lost their commander Maj. Lewis.
The Cheyennes broke away A battalion of in
fantry was thrown their tracks but the willy
savages eluded all save few of the soldiers,
who in sharp skirmish lost their commander,
Maj Lewis.
The trail led to of the low hills that chain
the reservation. The Cheyennes had taken refuge
near the summit in natural hollow. The sides of
the hills rose sheer and slippery to the lurking
place of the savages., 1t a place admirably
adapted for defense. few men could hold it
against regiment r.
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 men
He threw a Gordon around the hill, knowing that
the warriors could not escape, and trusting that
in few hours hunger would force them to sur
render Meantime the Cheyennes active.
They picked off many trooper, and at noon on
the day following the night of their fight ball
struck Capt Vessels in the head. The wound was
not serious, but its effect to make captain
and men eager for a 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, dashing down the hill
side straight at the body Of cavalry. The Indians
with knives. They were going TO their death and
they knew it, but death was better than 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-to-hand conflict with the
troopers and before they slain they exacted
a price for their dying.
When the time for the burial of the In
dams, Tea Kettle, chief, found TO be alive
but unconscious. Tea Kettle was carried back to
the fort and there made comfortable.
A squaw sought the wounded warriors couch
and handed him pair OF scissors which he instant
ly plunged into his heart. He spurned life in the
knowledge of the fact that his brother braves were
dead.
The Sioux nation heard Of the bravery OF the
Cheyennes and they adopted the women and chill
dren, and some Of the boys, grown to manhood
went with the Sioux on the warpath in their last
great uprising.

the death of the great Sioux chief Philanthro-
pists in the east who never had seen an Indian
tepee insisted that Sitting Bull was murdered and
that the blood of the savage upon the head
of the nation.
1t was left to Col Edward G. Fechet, now pro-
fessor of military science at the University of
Illinois, to learn the truth of the shooting of Sit
ting Bull and to give knowledge of it to the peo-
pie. Col. tthen captan) 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 was 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 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 man would once more take pos
session OF the earth
Through the medicine men Sitting Bull worked
upon the feelings and the superstitions of his
warriors that they to believe that by wear
ing certain garments which were 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 log hut miles away. Capt. Fechet OF
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 over by Lieut. Bull Head.
Capt Fechet and his men reached the rendez-
vous at 4: 80 a. m. on one of the coolest mornings
of Dakota December day. There was no sign
OF the Indian police, nor yet of Ihe scout which
Bull Head was 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 i'll their paint ready
for battle.
Fechet looked over his small command and
W INT ahead at full galop, his only thought being
to save such of the policemen as might be alive
and 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.
When the morning little advanced the
men of the command heard firing, which seemed
to come from different points. On they went I'M
til they came to the brow of the hill Below
