WAS VERY CLEVER SWINDLE.
Two ShaIpers Victimized Fayetteville.
Representing Themselves as EN-
pDyes OF Steel Company.

Charlotte. N. c., Oct. 22.-The story
sent out from Fayetteville a few days
ago to the effect that the American
Press Steel Company had closed a
deal for a water front site on which
1t would erect plant giving employ
ment to 500 men, turns out to be a
clever swindle. Two men represent
inging themselves as William Soaring,
chief engineer. and J. P. Jones, SUPER
intendent Of construction, of the Pitts
burg concern, we'll dressed and
smooth, selected the site and prepar-
ed to sign deeds. First, however, 20
feet must be excavated to be sure of
solid foundations. Advertisement was
made for laborers Of every description
at high figures and each was required
to pay so cents for his check with
name and number. Today the two
men disappeared, leaving unpaid
board, livery and numerous other
bills, and rs laborers are each out so

STIRRING INDIAN BATTLES.
VIII be the Principal Features With
The Wild West and Far East Ex-
hibitiOn.

Fidelity to historic fact has ever
been the ell-substantiated claim Of
Col. Cody and Major Lille in the
productions incident to their exhibit
ton. They have been practical illus
traitors of American history for the
twenty-five years they have, as enter
tainers, been before the public. For
their present tour they have selected
The Battle Of Summit Springs as the
chief scenic feature of the exhibition.
This battle was one of the deciding
conflicts in reclaimirg the West from
Indian control. 1t was July IL, 1869,
that Gen. E. A. Carr, in command of
a detachment Of U. S. cavalry and
guided by Buffalo Bill as his chief of
scouts came suddenly upon the camp
of Tall Bull, chief Of the DOG SOL
diers," and engaged them in one of
the fiercest struggles in the annals Of
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1909-10-27

Indian warfare. The conflict was
sharp and relentless but when Buffalo
Bill shot and killed Tall Bull the tide
quickly turned and the Indians suffer-
ed utter defeat. In this reproduction
OF the Battle of Summit Springs, Buff
falo Bill will enact his original role,
and the death Of Tall Bull will be
shown with vivid realism. Previous
to the actual battle the customs and
camp life of the Indian will be shown
IN the erection of typical Indian viii
lage, and the details of Indian recre-
alton. sports and pastimes will be de-
tailed with fidelity to life on the
plains when the redskin was monarch
OF that vast domain. Other typical
western scenes will be made a part
of the Wild West exhibition. There
will be The Great Train Hold-up by
Indians, a Holiday at "T-E" Ranch,
in which the plainsmans pleasures
will be revived, and the Attack on an
Em1grant Train, depicting the dang
ers attendant upon the life Of the
pioneer. The Congress of Roughrid-
ers will also constitute an important
part Of the Wild West entertainment,
horsemen from all parts of the globe
having been assembled for the pur-
pose of giving exhibitions of their
proficiency as masters of equestrian
expertness and reckless daring. The
entertainment entire will constitute a
thrilling display of unusually inter-
esting and novel exhibitions.
