HOLDS GOOD
Illinois Central Railroad Company
Must Live Up TO the Charter
Agreement of 1851.

Springfield, Ill, Oct. 2S.-In deciding
today on the demurrer Of the Illinois
Central railroad TO the suit of the state
of Illinois 10 collect back taxes from
the road, the supreme court ruled in
favor OF the state on all but one
point.
The court holds that the charter
agreement OF 1851, under which the
cent of its gross earnings. is a con-
tract and that the seven per cent is noe
a tax in the legal sense. The court
holds that practically all income OF
charter lines. as well as the trunk
lines, forms the principal on which the
seven per cent shall be paid 10 the
state.

holds against the state.

RUNNING THE GANTLET.
An Indian incident In Indiana's Pic.

An Indian incident In Indiana's Pios
neor Days.
David Joa0sOh. o-.e of the early set
tiers of h.Ilana. was noted hunter
and at one time was with a hunting
party of which John Severns was
member. ON that occasion the early
settlement of the state was discussed.
Mr.. Severus. having been there so
many years before any other white
man. was accepted as authority OH all
such subjects. In the Pioneer His
tory of Indiana" Colonel W. NJ. Cock
rum gives one of Mr.. Severns' stories
as repeated by Mr.. johnson.
MIR. Severus said that in the fall of
1893 he was with half dozen of his
Indian neighbors. hunting. and that be
stayed all night at All Indian village.
During the night two white prisoners
were brought in. and preparations
were made for their trial and death.
First two lines were formed facing
each other. and the two men were
compelled to run the gantlet between
the lines. A point some hundred
yards beyond the lines of the gantlet
was designated as the place that was
TO be reached to save their lives.
One of the men was of middle age
but frail; the other was Il strong, ath-
letic young fellow. The lines were
made up of more than 100 indians,
mostly squaws and boys. with enough
active men to keep the prisoners from
getting away. The young man was
the first to make the race. He got
through the lane and to the life sta
ton without being much hurt.
The older man before he started
held up his hands and offered prayer
to God for aid. then commenced the
race. which was not more than half
completed before he was Knocked
down by a heavy club in the hands
of Il squaw and was set upon by the
horde of squaws and boys and beaten
to death.
AS soon as he was knocked down the
young man, who was several hundred
feet away. ran like deer and jumped
into the throng of Indians and tried to
save his friends life, but was soon
overpowered and dragged away.
For this brave act the chief of the
village adopted the young man to
take the place of son whom he had
lost.
Mr.. Severns. on being asked why he
did not intercede for the prisoners
said that if he had attempted to inter
fere it would have cost him his life.
