the Nebraska campaigns against the I'M
ruly Indians. September 3, 1855, when the
Brules to the number of many thousands
put the members of Troop E of the I'd
Dragons on their mettle. The battle
was one neither Gen. Robertson nor his
surviving comrades ever forgot, for they
fought the Indians stubbornly from 4
O'Clock In the morning until ) o'clock at
night There were a good many cas-
ualties and the Indians were persistent,
but the Overwhelming number of hostiles
finally had to yield to the well organized
and tactful charges and accuracy of
Uncle Sans troopers on the firing line.
When the war broke out in 1851 Gen.
Robertson took sides with his native
state and went south. He very soon won
distinction as a member of the famous

Of the Old School.

Gen Robertson was one of the last of
the old, rugged type of military men
whose education and training began with
West Point and continued through the
campaigns and skirmishing with the hos
tile red men of the western plains, and
concluded with the dash and heroism of
his engagements of the civil war. He
was born in Amelia county, Va, June 5,
1926, and his early life was spent on the
farm in the Old Dominion.
Following an academic education In
Virginia, he was appointed to West Point
and graduated from that institution June
q, 1S49. From West Point he was
sent into the western country. and back
in the fifties he was an officer in the "a
Dragons, which is now the I'd Cavalry,
L. s. A, and took an active part in sup
pressing the frequent Indian uprisings
that marked the early life of the frontier
in Nebraska and South Dakota.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, November 12.-Belated
tribute to the memory of Gen. James

acters i'm American history, was paid by
his adopted country today, when monu-
ment erected by the federal government
over his grave was unveiled in ST. Mary

Gen. Shields was a brilliant soldier III

His life was one of the most ad-
venturous and varied of the public men

interested in the ceremony, as Gen.
Shields was the first United States sena-
tor from that state, and in recognition
thereof one of the sides of the base OF
the monument bears the coat OF arms OF
the state. On the three other SIDES are

Spectators Yesterday.

New York, June 22--The specula-

rived encouragement from various
causes today. The principal OF these
was the reports OF rain in the spring
wheat region and the agreement of
the meat packers to increases in
freight rates proposed by the rail
roads. The reports of weather con-
ditions in the threatened regions of
the northwest varied greatly as to
the extent of rains and the territory
affected. The violent drop in wheat
drew out a demand for stocks from
shorts VINO sold yesterday Besides
the rain reported as falling, forecasts
of additional rain in the affected dis
tricts played part in the abrupt re-

surrounding that crop.
