~ NE of the most thrilling per-
A sonal experiences that ever
heard was that of Lieutenant
De Rudio, who was cut off
from Reno's command at the Little
Big Horn and spent two days and
nights filed with such narrow escapes
mad blood curdling dangers as to make,
mnder the conditions, the most callous
man's hair stand on end.
In the fight he was guarding pony
tTossing with eight men, when one of
them said: Lieutenant, get your horse
quick! Reno's retreating" But as
no trumpet had been sounded and no
srder had been given he hesitated and
waited for the call. AS the men had
seen the others retreat.ng, they uncere-
moniously left, and De Rudio, seeing
the guidon left behind, rode back to
get it, which he did, but saw thirty y-five
or forty Indians coming. He dashed
3ff, and they fired volley; but, lean
ng low on his horse, it went high over
aim. He rode into the thick Under
Brush, when they fired many shots into
1he woods, the bullets cutting the
Branches all around him. He crossed
Ehe creek, scrambling up the bank,
when suddenly he saw hundreds of In
dams in front of him, not fifty yards
distant, shooting at the retreating sol
diers, with their backs toward him. He
Instantly saw that he was entirely cut
off While thinking how desperate a
run for it it would be, the thought Of
wife and children nerved him, and he
was about to brave it when a young
indian about thirty yards distant on
his right fired and killed his horse.
The shot attracted the other Indians,
and De Rudio jumped down the bank,
hiding in an excavation, and several
yolleys were fired, so accurately seem
sngly that the Indians thought he must
be killed.
A terrible yelling began among the
indians, and all 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
that they would come near enough for
him to join them, but in few minutes
they disappeared, and the Indians all
started off in that direction. Reno's
command had evidently rallied, and
they all got together, so his only hope
was to crawl around under the under
brush and get as near Reno's com
mand as he could, which he could
plainly see. At the same time there
was movement on another hill on the
right, and he thought he saw for
moment General Custer and some Of
hcers, and then they disappeared.
While quietly going through the brush
he heard whispered Lieutenant,
Efeutenantw Then he recognized Pri-
iyate 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
their horses, fearing they would neigh

SURVIVORS OF COLUMBIA
 WRECK
RESCUED BY THE STEAMER DORA AND TAKEN TO SEWARD, AIASKA-TELL TER
 RIFLE TALE
By Associated Press.


 SEATTLE, Wash, May 24.-A ea- ble from Seward, Alaska, says the mail steamer Dora arrived there with 194 survivors of the wrecked ship Co., lumbia, near Unimak Pass. Survivors tell tales of suffering and heroism sell dom exceeded. The Dora has accom- modations for but eighty-six passen- gers, and she fairly bulged with her load of 24O from the Columbia.
 The Columbia grounded in blind ing snow storm on the night of April 30, eight miles east of Unimak Pass, amid a terrible surf. On the vessel were ffty-three Italians, ninety-six Japs, and forty-fve Americans and Scandinavians. All were passive and obedient in the face of danger save the Italians, who in panic raved and prayed. They seized the first boat, lowered it and tried to take two more, but were restrained at the point of guns.
 Finally a life line was established with the shore. All boats were smash ed and many were overcome and near ly drowned in the icy waters. On the shore a hut five by seven feet was their only shelter, but fires were built and provisions brought ashore, with one woman, an Australian, wife of Mate Cameron. The party then made its way with terrible .hardships eight miles to Scotch Cape lighthouse, amid rocky rayines filled with deep snow. The woman collapsed and was carried by men scarcely able to crawl.
 May ? the Columbia burned to the waters edge in the storm, and on May II the Dora appeared, and in the bad weather required a while day to take them aboard.

 Brown said he employed H. Dorland as assistant to interview members of the Gallagher board of supervisors. He declared Dorland was ordered to ascer tain their views on a variety of sub jeets. In the first place he desired to ascertain if he could secure a fran chise for the sale of electric power. Secondly, he desired to know if the supervisors had been promised money for votes for the trolley permit. He finally sought to ascertain if they had been bribed in the same manner.
 Brown stated he paid Dorland out of his personal funds and was never reeompensed by the United railroads for the service. He abandoned the power franchise project, he said, be- cause he found it impossible to pro- cure the privilege. Dorland's reports on the supervisors, he said, he gave to Earl Rogers, prior to the trial of Tirey Ford. The witness was still on the stand when an adjournment was taken.

PROSECUTOR RAISES AN UNEX- PECTED ISSUE IN THE TRIAL OF CALHoUN-JUDGE

By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 SAN FRANCISCO, May 24.-Heney went into the camp of the defense for several witnesses today and as con sequence the proceedings were embit- tered by more strife between counsel and a continual skirmish between Hen ey and the reluctant and hostile sub jeets of his iHteFregation.-
 The afternoon produced virtually all the important testimony of the day, and was devoted to an examination of Thos. Gibson, detective in the em- ploy of the United Railroads; George Francis, secretary in the company's le- gal department; and Luther Brown, the Los Angeles attorney who has been active in behalf of the defense.
 Heney asked Gibson to explain his part in the investigation of the dyna- mite explosion which wrecked the Oak land home of James Gallagher, the prosecution s star witness. The prose cutor's questions carried many charges, which Gibson denied; but the witness admitted he had been directed to look into the affair by Thornwell Mullally. When asked what report he made to Abbott, Gibson said he told him he thought Burns and Wilhelm, the man arrested in Oakland accused of buying ten pounds of dynamite, had hand in it, and that the explosion was brought about to create feeling against Cal houn.
 The examination of Gibson was pro- longed by his failure to remember many circumstances in which he is al legged to have taken part.
 Francis followed Gibson to the stand and admitted receiving from Helms a filing cabinet and quantity of docu- ments which Helms alleged were re- ports on jurors and other matter ab- stracted from the office of Burns. He testified he received money from Ab- bolt to pay Helms and other men en- gagged in similar work.
 Browns appearance aroused interest in the crowded courtroom to a pitch of expectancy. In reply to Heney's ear Tier questions he stated he came to this city from Los Angeles in May, 1907, and was employed by Calhoun in a legal capacity, although he never ap- peared for him as attorney of record. Primarily the witness declared he had come to San Francisco to promote an electric power project, in which his father-in-law, MT. Clark, was inter ested. The witness declared he had never arranged with Alexander Lath- am, once a chauffeur to Ruef, to enter the employment of Clark and never knew of such employment, which is re- garded as an important issue because lng trIaI on the charge of perjury al legged to have been committed at the Ruef trial. Brown admitted his ae- quaintance with several men designat- ed as agents for the United railroads. One of them was J. C. Brown, who Heney charged spent much time in shadowing Burns.
