wounded Indians In a hole. We were
sure Of getting them when wanted. So,
placing couple Of sentinels where
they could warn stragglers away from
Its front, we formed line along the
south and west Of the captured village
and got everything ready to resist the
attack we knew they would soon make
in full force.
Half dozen soldiers got permission
to 60 over and join in, while the rest
Of US were hungrily hunting about for
something to eat The next thing We
heard was a volley from the ravine
and saw the scouts and packers scat
tering for cover. One soldier held his
ground-shOt dead. Another moment
and it became apparent that not one or
two but a dozen Indians were crouch
ing sCGlewhere in that narrow gorge,
and the move to get them out assumed
proportions. Lieutenant Clark Of Cen
eral Crooks staff sprang into the en-
trance, carbine in hand, and score Of
cavalrymen followed, while the scouts
and others went cautiously along either
bank, peering warily into the cave
like darkness at the head. A squad Of
newspaper correspondents, led by that
reckless Hibernian Finerty Of the Chi
cago Times, came tearing over, pencil
in hand. all eagerness for items, just
as a second volley came from the con-
cealed Zoe, and three more Of their as
sailants dropped bleeding in their
tracks. Now our people were fairly
aroused, and officers and men by doz-
ems hurried to the scene. The misty
air rang with shots, and the chances
looked bad for those redskins. Just at
this moment as l was running over
from the western side 1 caught sight
Of Chips on the opposite crest. All
alone he was cautiously making his
way on hands and knees toward the
head Of the ravine, where he could
look down upon the Indians beneath
As yet he was protected from their
fire by the bank itself, his lean form
distinctly outlined against the eastern
sky. He reached stunted tree that
grew on the very edge Of the gorge.
and there he halted brought his rifle
close under his shoulder in readiness
to aim and then raised himself slowly
to his feet, lifted his head higher and
higher as he peered over. Suddenly a
quick, eager light shone In his face, a
sharp movement of his rifle as though
he were about to raise 1t to the
shoulder, when-bang-a puff of white
smoke floated up from the head of the
ravine. Chips sprang convulsively In
the air, clasping his hands to his
breast, and with one startled, agoniz-
in cry, oh. my God, boys-goodby.
Bill! plunged heavily forward on his
face down the slope, shot through the
heart.
1.-TWO minutes more what Indians
were left alive were prisoners and that
costly experience was at an end.
1--WE buried poor Chips in the deep
ravine with our other dead, and no
scout was more universally mourned
than Buffalo Bill's' follower and de-
voted friend Jim White"

MARAThONERS
WORK TODAY

Yesterday afternoon Tim Nc
Grath had his Marathoners going
through their PAGES before the Con-
zaga college students, and today
the real work of the week will COM
mence at Recreation park. All of
the runners are in first-class con-
dition, but they are after that 20
mile record, and will hammer stead
lily away on the track from now
until Sunday.
Promoter McGrath is busy ar
ranging for a set of officials who
will give the affair a better tone
than the average foot race, as in
deed it is. He is arranging for
the roping. off Of the bleachers to
keep the expected throng out of
the way of the Marathoners.
Tim is supremely disdainful of
the aspirations of Charles Lock
wood, the ten-miler, and other as
pirants. He doesn't intend to have
his race marred by entrants who
cannot go the route, and proposes
that they put up 500 as a guar
antee that they will last the dis
lance.

KITES ARE TABOOED
IN WASHINGTON

Not everybody knows that there
is law against flying kites In the
capital of the United States, and
two officials of the bureau OF for
estry found it out in an emphatic
manner.
Twas a dull day in the bureau,
and when Milton j. Mexican pro-
posed to Philip Patterson Wells TO
renew his youth by giving a kite
full rein from the top of the build
ing he found Wells game to tAe
core. Sure he would. He would
show Patterson just how 1t ought
to be done.
Two policemen trying to keep
from going to sleep saw speck in
the sky, rubbed their optics, and
then traced the string to the top of
the bureau of forestry Building.
Consequence: pinch.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-Brainy Hugh
Duffy, who has been selected to
manage the White Sox next sea-
son, is one of the original Amer
lean leaguers, and, with Charles w.
Somers, vice president of the
league, figured in the raids on the
National when the young league
was forming.
For his services Duffy expected
TO become manager of the Boston
team, but Jimmy Collins drew that
plum and Duffy drew a blank. At
present he is manager and half
owner of the Providence Eastern
league team.
Some folks are mean enough to
say that the reason is now appar-
ent why Blackburn, the phenom-

Hugh Duffy engineered the deal.

Red Hughes, the classy 105-pound

POOR ED REULBACH.

Kerrigan was climbing up a ladder
to the top
OF a fourteen-story building, little
mindful of the drop;
He would have hit the pavement
with a horrible kerflop-
But he stopped to light his pipe.
A dog was chasing rabbits and
was running nose and tail,
And every one was betting he
would catch 'em without fail,
But when he opened up his jaws
the varmint for to nall
He stopped to scratch his ear.
One day a guy was pitching the
finest game of ball;
The bases all were occupied, but
just about to fall,
And he had the batsmen frozen
stiff without a chance at
all
But he stopped to wipe his nose.

S. A. A. c. TO HAVE TWO
BASKETBALL FIVE.S THIS SEASON

The basketball season at the s.
A. A. G. will be opened next Friday
night, when two strong teams will
be organized for series of games
for the club championship. Both of
these clubs will be strong enough
to compete with outside fives, en-
abling one of the teams to play at
home while the other is ON the
road.
Heretofore the s. A. A. c. has
been content with organizing one
strong five to defend the colors, but
this year there is such a wealth of
good material that two teams will
be permanently placed on the floor.

SENATORIAL
EXILES RETURN
Gov. John l. Cox Comes
With a Compromise
Proposal
WILL NOT BE FINED.
All Left For Nashville Yes
terday and Assembly
Will Take Recess.

After a weeks outing in this city
eight Democratic senators of the
Tennessee General Assembly return
ed to Nashville yesterday morning
to be present at the session of the
senate which opened at IL, and to
make quorum which proceeded at
once to arrange for the recess to be-
gin today. That was the program,
the coalitionists being understood to
have agreed that if the absent ones
would return no action would he
taken toward holding another joint
convention or making the last one
constitutional and legal. The eight
senators were Dancy Fort, Hilary
E. Howse, A. A, Matthews, ]. D..
Senter, John R. Neal, H. M. Nc
Kay, Harry Kelly and c. W. Turner.
They accomplished their purpose in
breaking the quorum, as the Allies
have held their Joint convention"
in a manner said to be clearly
against the constitution, and now
claim that they did this in good
faith and will stand by the record.
1t is expected that Messrs. Sugg,
Cummings, Muse and Banks will
also return from Alabama at once,
although they may not come back
until after the recess.
Senator John /. Cox reached Hop
kinsville Thursday night and spent
the night here and all returned on
the early train. Gov. Cox was Civ
en- much attention by the people of
Hopkinsville and the leaders well
coined their leader joyously. Some
of them doubted the wisdom of re-
tlrning, but agreed to follow Gov.
Cox's advice.
The former governar is a hand
some and genial gentleman. He
was Gov. Patterson's predecessor as
governor.
Senator Neal, one of the eight
who spent the week here, was a for
mer classmate of DR.. R. L. Wood
ards.
All of the visitors left many
friends behind, made during their
stay in the city. Public opinion
here is strongly with Gov. Patter-
sons side in Tennessee politics and
no effort was spared to make his
supporters have a pleasant stay in
the city.
