Hurled from his bicycle when he
was struck by a horse and buggy at
the corner OF Eighth avenue and
Ninth street. ]. F. Barber suffered
broken rib and severe bruises last
evening about o'clock.

turn the corner when the buggy in
which two young women were rid
ing, came from the opposite direc-
ton. The bicycle on which Barber
was riding was struck square and he
was thrown beneath the horses
hoofs.
The women drove on several hun

the country. The major fell in love
with the daughter of the chief in
command of the Indian forces. 1t
appears. according to the story
which was told the Greeley people,
that his affection was returned.
Whereupon the chief objected. The
maiden. in despair, leaped one day
from the summit OF a high cliff into
the creek below, in view OF sold
iers in the fort and the Indiana
camped about 1t.
The major, SO the story goes, be-
came morose. He lost interest in
his troops. Three days after the
tragic death OF the Indian girl an
officer was seen to approach the hill
top from which the Indian maiden
had leaped to death. OF course. to
sustain the artistic ending Of the
story 1t was necessary for the brave
young officer to leap likewise, SO this
| he did in the most approved manner

was told by the settlers in the coun-
