ECHOES FROM
THE PAST
Veteran Of Memorable Indian Campaign Tells
d Strenuous Times Of That Period.

Indians, all right, but they didn'
drive worth a cent. : They saw how
few we were and Immediately sur
rounded US. We saw in minute that
we We're in a trap and face to face
with death. All day long we fought,
and out of 47 Of our men 20 were eth
er killed or wounded.
The detachment in the mountains
above saw our plight, but the officer
in command had streak of yellow
and refused to come to our aid,
threatening any soldier who disobeyed
him in this respect with death. In
spite Of his threat eight brave boys
broke away and came charging down
through the pines, discharging their
guns and yelling at the top Of their
voices. It had the effect of temporar-
lily clearing space for US, and
through this we made our escape.
1--WE were pursued by Crazy Horse
and his band until midnight, when a
heavy snoWstorm struck us and con-
fused our savage pursuers, saving our
lives. When we were at a safe dis
tance from the battlefield we lay down
in the snow and went to sleep-the
first wink Of sleep any Of US had had
for SO hours.
'HThe battle Of Powder river was
the first Of the Sioux war and led up
to the massacre Of General Custer and
his command. On the return trip to
where our wagons were stationed,
back in the mountains, we were forced
to resort to horse meat for food, hav-
ing captured number Of Indian pom
les, thinking perhaps we might run
short Of beef. AS recall it now, that
horse meat averaged up pretty we'll
with the ordinary butcher shop beef
that is offered for sale today. ] know
it tasted mighty good to Us then.
After the surrender Of Crazy Horse,
at the close Of the Sioux war, Mr..
strahorn was the first white man e
shake hands with the bloodthirsty
young warrior, who afterward was
bayoneted to death by his guards for
insubordination-

Soon the roof crashed in, the blaz-
ing Wreckage falling ON the helpless
victims, SO that many of those who
had hitherto escaped the flames
were struck down by beams or bur-
led under debris.
When the door was finally broken
open some few persons escaped, but
most Of these collapsed before they
got far. Inside the building were
heaps of charred corpses. Screams
and groans were still audible from
the smoking piles. A detachment Of
troops was ordered to the scene to
clear the wreckage and help bury
the dead.
The official estimate as given
states that 290 persons perished, but
it is believed the total death roll
will prove much larger than this, as
many persons have not been ac-
counted for.

CALVERT ESTATES
WORTH s3OO,OOO,OOO
SAYS ST. LOUIS HEIR

The 5000, 100000 estate which Sir
Cecil Calvert, grandson of Sir
George Calvert, Lord Baltimore and
founder of Maryland. bound over to
their heirs under 99-year lease In a
spasm of anger against his eleven
sons, because they joined the Amer
lean Army, win be contested for
this fall by the Calvert heirs of the
United States, of which Mrs. NJ. E.
Bolts, Of this city, is one.
While employed in tracing the Cal
vert family to its roots, Mrs. Calvert
Bourgeoise, of St. Louis, who is a
genealogist as well as lawyer,
found hundreds of Calvert heirs in
the United States who fondly hand
ed down the tradition of the family
that there was a vast sum of money
awaiting them i'm Baltimore. In her
Investigations she found there were
1900 Calvert heirs.
Mrs. Calvert -Bourgeoise says that
AN investigation a few years ago at
the British Museum showed that
there was L. SOO,OOO,OOO in chan.
cery belonging to the Calvert heirs,
but she says the American heirs
have no intention just now of push
ing forward their claims to this
money. "The money has been in
chancery for so years, and may
drag on forever" she declared,
Fifty Calvert heirs are scattered
over Missouri, the Oldest of whom
is Belvin Calvert, "a, OF 1853 Cook
avenue, st. Louis.
Kentucky boasts of 400 heirs
and has formed branch Of the as
sociation. The oldest of the heirs
is 80 years old.

Says 1t Yields from 100 Gallons an

NJ. E. Huffman, well-known farm
er of near Laddonia, planted 10 acres
Of sugar cane last May and reports
1t flourishing. Mr.. Huffman has
raised a crop Of cane successfully
for number of years and always
found it paying.
He says the yield is from 100 gal

his yield per acre will be about go

this is the cheapest that can be
raised and that 1t is fine result

When asked concerning the best fe
tilizer for cane, Mr. Huffman stated
ashes and sawdust was what he used
and 1t seemed all right. There is a
difference of opinion concerning the
fertilizer best for cane. A we'll
known expert gives the following as
his idea in this matter
"Where large yields Of sugar cane
are anticipated, liberia fertilization is
necessary as this crop draws heavily
on all the essential elements of plant
food, and 400 pounds of a 2-10-2 fer
tilizer would not be considered

of such a mixture would certainly
not be too much to use ON this crop
and 1,50O to 1000 pounds can Otter
be used to good advantage.
The only chance of adding potasf
to the soil under the circumstances
would be to make second apple
tion of 100 pounds of sulphate Of pot

Then you might make an application
of 100 to $50 pounds of nitrate of SO

BODY LOST IN ICE
FORTY YEARS AGO
TO APPEAR IN MONTH


Ottawa, Kan, Aug. 30.
Anxtously awaiting the report of
uhe party that has gone to France to
De present when the Blossoms Glacier
gives up the bodies of eleven noun.
tam climbers lost in the Alps forty
years ago, is Henry H. Geyer, Of Ot-
tawa, q full cousin of DR.. James B.
Bean, a member of the party. The
glacier is now down and Is said TO
have brought DR.. Beams body and
probably the others fully preserved.
Mr.. Geyer has in his possession an
cd ambnotype OF DR.. Bean taken in
Jonesboro, Tenn, showing the young
physician as he looked when he left
this country on the fatal trip.
DR.. Bean was dentist and al.
ways interested in all scientific re-
search. He Joined John c. Randall, of
Quincy, Mass, in the trip UP Mont
Blanc, the two men and companion,
Rev. George McCorkindale, of Scot
land, and eight guides making the ex-
pedition in 1870. The last seen of
the party was Sept. Z, 10, when they
appeared on a point of the mountain.
It is known that they were frozen to
death as a diary written by DR.. Bean
was found some time afterward by
searching party.
The glacier is known to bring
down the bodies of its dead in just
forty years, along at the rate of a
few feet a year. Relatives of mem
bers of the fatal party have gone to
Chamonix, France, where the glacier
debouches into the sea, to receive the
bodies of the dead. 1t is expected
that the bodies will appear some
time next month.
Extracts from DR.. Beans diary,
made during the climb, read as fol-
lows:
