OLD INDIAN FIGHTER
TO THE RETIRED LIST
Brigadier General Howe, a Survivor
of the Modoc Campaign, Soon
TO End Service.
WITH ARTILLERY 48 YEARS.
Soldier Took Active Part in the
Fight Against Captain Jack
and His Braves.

Brigadier General Walter Howe,
United States army, who recently was
in command of the department of the
East in the temporary absence Of Ma
ior General Leonard Wood, has served
in the artillery forces for forty-sLv
years. General Howe is soon to re-
tire from the service under the age
limit law. He is one of the few sur
vivors of the officers Of the United
States army who took part in the cam
paign years ago against Captain Jack
and his fellow braves Of the Modoc
tribe in the far Northwest.
1t was during the campaign against
the Modocs that artillery was used by
the white soldiers as a weapon OF
offense against Indians who had taken
the warpath At that time General
Howe was a second lieutenant serving
with a light battery of the Fourth
Artillery. Captain Jack and Scar
Faced Charlie, Modoc chiefs, and their
following resented the attempt which
was made to get them to leave land on
which their tribe had dwelt for years,
Peace commissioners were sent to
treat with the Indians, one Of the
members of the commission being Gen
eral Candy. Captain Jack asked for
a parley with the commission and th'
request was granted. As soon as Gen.
eral Candy and his fellow commission
members met the Indians Jack and his
following opened fire and killed every
member of the peace party The
Modocs then took to the lava beds Of
the Northwest and it was found to be
impossible to dislodge them by means

The diversity of breeds alluded to
in the last chapters is mainly due to
selection of individuals for breeding.
For two or three thousand years or
more this was done without any con-
nected purpose, much less any COM
mon one Fowls that had been bred
for years for fighting were raised by
thrifty a man who sought larger size
for a few generations, till the little
band with which his tribe was at war
came and wiped the whole thing out.
Perhaps the incubatorb building Egyp-
tians bred from their best layers and
broke up their broody hens; and left
their influence upon the Mediterranean
class of fowls. The Romans and pres
ent day Italians have found the comb
and wattles palatable and have caused
this same class to wear the largest
headgear known.
The Chinese have bred for size, for
no knowing how long, and have given
us the Asiatic class, the largest of
fowls.
long, long years of heterogeneous
breeding had accomplished much good
before English speaking people took
hold of poultry, brought the various
breeds of the world together and or

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 12--Siuis-
ter reports arc current in this city con-
cerning the mysterious disappearance of
Count Tolstoi from his home at Yas-
maya, Poliana.
While it is publicly given out that
the famous writer and social reformer
has voluntarily gone away to pass his
remaining days in solitude aud peace,
and letter purporting TO have been
written by the aged novelist TO bis wife
explaining his departure, has been made
public, there is persistent report that
his exile is not voluntary.
1t is hiped that the heads Of The
Russian church who long have regard
ed Tolstoi as an arch hereto, are really
responsible for his disappearance, that
they have taken him and confined him
in some monastery where they will keep
him until death releases him.
The first news of Tolstoi s disappear
nuce came from Prince Dimitri Oblen
sky, who says tho count left his home
several days ago, accompanied by DR..
Makovetsky, his physician. That the
doctor should be. party to The affair
is another inexpIicable feature. Max
ovetsky became the companion of the
count in succession to the latter's prl-
vate secretary. M. CUFF. whom the gov
ernment exiled to Siberia. alleging that
he had Influenced Tolstoi g anti-govern-
ment writings
Tostoi has been in ill-health for some
time He suffered from frequent faint
ing spells, and on October IS was uu-
conscious for hours. Later it was re-"
ported he had improved somewhat.
The reports that the Countess Tol~
stoi had repeatedly attempted suicide
over his disappearance is said to be due
TO Tao knowledge that her distinguished
husband Mt last has fallen inio the
hands Of his enemies.

conditional upon similar action being
taken across the river The agreement
provides that the men shall be taken
back without discrimination except for
acts of violence during the strike.

pauies and their employees does not
affect the strikes of chauffeurs, cab
drivers and drivers for departmnt

pathy with the express company en-
plovees and later presented demands or
their own.

TULA, Russia, Nov. 12.-The mys-
terious disappearance of Count Leo Eoi-
stoi, the Russian novelist and social re-
former, has made u painful 1mpresi,
sion. That he should decide to spend
the evening of his days in solitude sur
prises no one acquainted with his ca
reer, but that he should deliberately
desert the wife who had borne HIM nine
children is difficult Of belief even IN
the light Of his well known eccentrlcl-
ties of character.

is accepted by many In explanation or

may have a tragic sequel, as the count
that she has attempted her life.
The family was without clue today.
In letter left for his wife the count
said:
~ cannot continue longer to live

old men / retire from the world TO COM
plete my life in solitude. l ask that
you do not seek my place OF solourn

state of mind. as he has long lived the
life of a peasant While his family

the simple peasant food and wearing
the peasant IS costume, a rough coat and
trousers, cowhide boots and fur cap.
He has not always continued this hum
bic mode of life, but 1t has been his
