first time TO General Custer. The gem

| said. General, this Is the best
horse Mt the fort. and assure you
that he won't be much behind you
when you reach Fort Larned."
The captain explained to the general
that the horses were In pretty bad
conditiH' ut the fort and that he had
heard me brag SO much about that
mule that he felt quite. sure that the
beast was all right.
The general seemed little displeas-
ed and said, "Well, II that Is the best
you have will have to put up with
It."
We mounted and started out on the
road. For the first fifteen miles to
Smoky Hill river there was good
wagon road, and as we rode along the
general asked me numerous questions
In regard to the country and the In.
dians. and thus we talked along mile
after mile. But the general was going
at a pretty rapid gait. and my mule
was not very speedy on the start, but
knew he would finish all right. So

We went on like that for mile or

CALHOUN DEFENDERS
 REJOICE OVER VICTORY

Anniston, Nov. 29.--(Special) )--Never within the history of Anniston has there been such demonstration as there was here tonight when the re- turns of the election just closed were mashed before an assemblage of about 5000 men, women and children.
 That the fight was lost in this coun- ty. which gave majority of 1.600 for prohibition, was surprise to even the defenders. The result is attributed largely to the thorough organization, led by Chairman A. P. Agee.
 A feature of the display here to- night was the loud applause accorded the words, we are all for Fred l.. Blackmon for Congress" Mfr. Black mon is State Senator, probably the most popular man in Calhoun County, and has been prominently mentioned as successor to Congressman W. B. Craig, who will decline a reelection. He was one of the leading anti-amenders of the State
 A picture of Brooks Lawrence headed "Back to Ohio," and a drawing of cofIin in which the white ribbon was buried, were among the amusing scenes flashed on the canvass.
 The district is said to be lost to the Amenders by 3.600 votes. The total vote in this county will probably reach 2.600, largest in its history, the aver age being about 2.100.

 The children and women who enter ed the fray congregated at the Gen. tral Presbyterian church early in the morning, one hour before the opening of the polls. A prayer service was held. and the workers distributed.
 Men of Montgomery who opposed the amendment experienced a deli cacy at the probable conflict with wo- men at the polls. and the votes were dropped in the boxes early in the morning.
 Watchers Are Many.
 The watchers for both sides were wary. Probably 200 challenges were entered during the day. in the city. and there were about one-third of the challenged voters were denied the op- portunity of voting. Failure to pay poll tax was the most general cause of the challenges
 Both parties lost about equally by the challenges.

BIRMINGHAM IS HAPPY
AFTERNOON NEWSPAPERS CLOSE UP EARLY.
Amendern are Routed Completely and Defenders Celebrate Their Great Victory by Pnrading And
 ShOwtimg.

Birmingham, Nov 2s.-(SpeciaLl-- The defenders of the constitution carried the day by twenty thousand majority at least.
 The ma1orities that roll In from the various counties are larger than were counted on at the headquarters or the defenders and the returns from Mobile, Montgomery. shelby, Jeffer- son, DeKalb, Tallapoosa. and other counties are more encouraging than was expected
 At the headquarters of the defend CTS there was great rejoicing at an early hour and the celebration is wild.
 At the office of the amender's early tonight the statement was given out that the returns were scattering and looked bad. There were many figures in hand but all looked to the reverse. In the crowd and above the din in the office of the defenders before o'clock tonight the figures in hand were heard to be 56 counties against inc amendment. In the Fifth Dis trtct but two counties appear for the amendment. Chambers by ten and Macon by fifty or sixty.
 ''It was a magnificent victory" was statement given out at headquart- CTS of the defenders. The majority of 2,9O0 in Mobile, 1900 in Montgom- cry. 750 In Houston, the maJorities in Lowndes, Autauga. Fillmore, Walker. Tuscaloosa, Shelby ana so many others majority of no less than twenty thousand Is rather encouraging.
 We have carried 56 counties at least most likely sixty. Lee, Macon, Chambers and two or three others go for the amendment by small maj ority"
 Great rejoicing is on among the people here on the streets late tonight on the defeat of the amendment.
 Men parading the streets when the amenders were heard from as giving up the fight and the lights went out early In front of the afternoon news papers offices fin this city.
 The crowd around the headquarters of the anti-amendment people was happy one all during the evening and many thousand dollars changed hands as a result of the big victory.
 The Waterloo was even unexpected by the antis themselves and late to- night there is much figuring as to how 1t happened. The total majority will reach twenty thousand 1t is be- lieved and some men figure on more.
 When the statement was made a week ago that there would not be more than five counties to go for the amendment the canvas appears to have been a thorough one

Birmingham, Nov 2g.--(Special.)-- The city of Birmingham gives amend ment I.247 against 2.o42 in the four boxes. Greater Birmingham gives ma jority of 1.2ss against.
 Today's prohibition constitutions election was the most exciting ever witnessed in Birmingham. Hundreds of people were crowded around each polling place. women and children were singing and brass bands stationed by the anti-amendment forces were play : ing patriotic airs.e
 Each polling place had its quota of fisx. fights, there being so many that it was impossible to keep track of them all Feeling was so high that few words were sufficient to bring on e blow. Practically every other voter. was challenged and required to mako affidavit that he was qualified elec- tor. This delayed the casting of ball. lots considerably. but in spite of these handicaps the vote was very heavy at each box.
 As an instance of the deep feeling. atAp13ycQ, 1$Es Ws ENanSs EBGt0F or the Church of the Advent, went to the polls and a young woman attempted ta pin a white ribbon upon him.

Celebration of Victory Takes on . See rious Character in Russell Couu- ty--Cannon Crackers Thrown
 Into Residences.

Columbus, Ga. Nov. 2s.-tspecial.)- )-- Disorder represented to be of serious nature is characterizing the election celebration in Girard. Ala, tonight.
 Rev. c. W. Northcutt Methodist pastor there. telephoned to Columbus that a mob of about 100 men was marching about the city visiting the homes of those who had been active in their support of the constitutional amendment.
 At several homes citizens were on guard with shot guns to prevent vio- ience being done, he stated. Two can non crackers were thrown into his home but neither exploded. One on the windows of hts house was cracked and he thinks that load of shot did 1t.
 MT. Northcutt stated that the home of the Baptist minister, Rev. IA. II. Vaughan. had also been visited and that the door of his residence had been knocked open and the slass shattered.
 The explosions on the Alabama side of the river gre of q heavy character ana s0uhd like dynamite crackers are being used. The celebration is stiil in progress at midnight.
 Cannon crackers were thrown at the residence of Hon. George c. Porter, a prominent lawyer, who supported the amendment.
 The floor of his front porch was torn up and a number of shingles blown out of the roof.
 When crackers were thrown on the porch of C. T. Gifford's residence. he fired shot gun slightly over the heads of the party and they ran.

 All day long carriages. hacks and automobiles, bearing the election col ors, whirled through the streets Of the city. carrying Alabama voters who work in Columbus, to the polling places in Phenix City and Girard.
 Phenix City and Girard both went against the amendment, and tonight the Georgia hills are echoing with the shouts and fireworks explosions from the Alabama side of the Chattahoochee where a great celebration is in pro- Rresg

Triumvirnte of Dictators Rebuked by Ballots of AIabama's Yeomnn- ry--Distinct RepudiatfOn
 of State Capitol Ring,

Birmingham. Nov. 29.--All indica- tions point to a majority of between 18,O00 and 10000 majority in the State against the prohibition constitutional amendment today. Chairman J. Lee Long, of Greenville, who has been in charge of the fight against the amend ment. said at Headquarters at 7:3O o'clock that the majority against the amendment would be fully 10000.
 The early returns all indicated a landslide against the amendment and the succeeding bulletins fully bore out the early indications.
 Jefferson County. in which Birming- ham is located, in view of the fact that the fight has been concentrated here for over a week, will give q ma jority of over 1000 against the ameRd- ment. Mobile, Montgomery and Gull man countless show the largest ma 1orities on the victorious side. and it appears the amendment has carried but four counties--Talladega Macon Sumter and Lee.
 Today's election being the first time the State has ever had an opportunity to pass on the prohibition question Is regarded as especially significant. Still, 1t cannot be regarded as a straight out anti-prohibition victory because of the personal politics that has been injected Into the Issue. It's association with the administration of Governor Conner and his ability to name successor to the governorship D in Judge s. D. Weakley. author of the prohibition bills, have figured promi- nentiy in the result.
 A significant feature of the result Is the fact that the sentiment against the amendment is so widespread, Rural precincts, small towns and cities alike are for the most pavt coming up with substantial maJorities on the winning side.
 There has never been seen here any thing like the enthusiasm shown In Birmingham tonight over the result. Thousands of people from Jefferson and adjoining counties were here to see the returns flashed and the down town streets were one pillow of en- thusiasm.
 The result is everywhere regarded as a distinct repudiation Of the present State administration whicn has been particularly radical In its so-called re- form program,

 "The fire was caused by spontane- ous combustion in the hay loft" said Big Jim. Tt was like this: The old man had put in load of green hay a few days before the fire.
