Riding like mad, they arrived to find
some Indian police still fighting from
Sitting Bulls cabin, being surrounded
on all sides.
Volley after volley was poured In un-
~expectedly on the besiegers, and a few
shells from the Hotchkiss gun scatter
ed them, and the beleaguered were re-
lieved. They had reached Sitting
Bulls cabin at 8 a. M, surrounded 1t.
and, capturing the old chief in bed, ar
rested him. While dressing, his son,
Crowfoot, alarmed the camp. Bull
harangued his friends, frenzied by the
thought, no doubt, that his own tribes
men were his captors, not feeling that
respect for them he would have had
for the military.

Shave Head was shot in the abdomen,

became general until the arrival of
Major Ratchet and several police, and
many ghost dancers were killed, they
not having time to utilize their shirts.
Thus was ended the life of the chief
whose faults and virtues will long be
a subject OF discussion, but who will
always stand as a great red chief of
the Uncapapa Sioux-Sitting Bull.

return under conditions that would be
favorable TO his followers, while he
was assured of immunity from per-

He was wise enough to know that
his absence was weaving many from
obedience to his sway, and martyrdom
at a distance, he thought, was not as
effective in retaining popularity and
power as would be persecution under
the eyes of his people.
He was of incorruptible loyalty TO his

Sulphur Is Burned.

Sulphur Is Burned.
II you live in the country or where
there is NO board Of health t fumi-
gate for you after a contagious dis
ease. 1t Is we'll to know how to do 1t
for yourself.
II a few sticks of sulphur are burned
IN a room even after such diseases as
scarlet fever or diphtheria. Unless
properly used sulphur is quite inef-
fectiye.
The room must be air tight. This
does not mean doors and windows
closed, but practically Dramatically
sealed.
If possible, shut the windows so that
they can be opened from the outside.
1t makes It easier on the one who
must open the room after fumigation.
Have on hand plenty Of cotton bat
ting cut into strips three or four inches
wide. This should be stuffed into all
cracks around the doors and windows
and In the keyholes.
Cover a register or fireplace with un-
bleached muslin tackled or pasted tight
over the opening to prevent the fumes
from escaping. An old fashioned blow
er can be used In the fireplace If the
edges are stuffed tight
Open bureau drawers and closets
and open and hang up bedding and
any underclothing that may have been
In the room.
Toilet articles of silver or brass fur
nishings should not be used In a sick
room. as sulphur will ruin them. If
they have been used, wash them off
carefully with carbolic acid solution
or some other disinfectant and remove
them before fumigating.
Buy rolled sulphur and break 1t into
small pieces. Every 800 cubic feet Of
air space Will take about a pound and
three-quarters of sulphur. Three
pounds to a room ten feet square will
answer.
Remember that the effect OF the
fumes is heightened by moisture. SO
have vessels of water standing In the
room and hang up wet sheets. The
iron pot In which sulphur is burned
car also be stood in a pan of water.
A small preserving kettle should be
stood In a deep dishpan and both
raised from the floor by inverted flow
erpots or bricks.
II the sulphur is saturated with alco-
hol. 1t will burn better. 1t is we'll to
investigate at the end Of a half hour.
for the sulphur may no have ignited
Do not open the room for twenty-four
hours.
II you cannot get at the windows
from the outside, cover the mouth and
nose with a damp cloth until the win
dow is reached and have a strong draft
blowing from the hall.
Let the room air for a day before
using again and wash off the wood
work and floor with a solution of EAR
bQlic acid and water in the proportion
of a tablespoonful of the acid to a gal
don of bot water.
For scarlet fever or diphtheria bed
ding should be burned or sen to be re-
'c6vef6d. All toys That cannot be
washed should be burned, and books as
well. Scarlet fever has been taken
from books after twenty years. Fresh
paper should be put On the walls.
