1@--77--- 2 -7-'---7 .,-7 |1 BUFFALO BILL IS
 FRIEND TO ENEMY

Omaha, Neb., December 17.-(Special.)- J. chief, who once came near getting Buff falo Bill Codys scalp, was last night helped by the former Indian fighter, when he found the old warrior, hungry, sick and destitute at the union depot in this city. After giving the old Indian a square meal Colonel Cody purchased for him a ticket back to the reservation and started him homeward to Wyoming. Cloudy Face had been without food for so long that he was unable to tell Cody how he reached Omaha.
 Cloudy Face was once one of the most willy and intrepid foes of the whites and for years there was sworn enmity be- tween him and Colonel Cody. He came nearer than any other Indian ever did to get Buffalo Bills scalp.
 "In the old days l had many a hard fight with this old man and his band" said Colonel Cody. At one time he head ed coalition of Arapahoes, Shoshones, Sioux. Cheyennes and sother tribes having for it's object the annhilation of the
 whites.
 | They were on the warpath and a party of us attempted to overtake them. Cloudy P ace and his band made clever move ment during the night and got us sur-
 rounded. I hardly know how we managed to get out of that trap. but eight of our party and about 15 Indians were killed before we got clear Cloudy Face himself made desperate effort to get me, but his aim was bad and I shot him through the arm first. It was the closest call I ever had. His band outnumbered us
 three to one and we did some hard rid Ing. They chased us several days be- fore we eluded them"
 Before separating from Colonel Cody, Cloudy Face insisted on shaking hands with him, calling him brother and de- clared that they were now friends for ever.

MEYER WOOLDKNOW
 WHAT SIMS SAID

Washington, December 17.-(Special.l J. Commander William s. Sims, commanding officer of the battleship Minnesota, of the Atlantic fleet, has been asked by Secre- tary Meyer for a copy of his speech delivered at Guild Hall in London on De- cember last. when the officers and men of the battleship fleet were entertained by the lord mayor of the city of London In press reports of his speech at Guild hall the commander was quoted as saying that he believed that If the time ever came that the British empire was men aced by an external enemy, the English might count upon assistance from the United States.
 MT. Meyer is anxious to find out whether or not Commander Sims actually made this statement before taking further action. Commander Sims was the naval aide at the White House under former President Roosevelt. At that time he served in the navy department as inspec- tor of target practice. He was a prom ipent member of the coterie of officers who several years ago became prominent through their criticisms of the alleged structural defects of battleships.

Complications Have Arisen

Complications which are in no way an- ts gonlstic, and which will be amicably adjusted, have arisen between the mer- chants and city authorities over the ques- ton of practice of the delivering Of pack ages to out-of-town customers at the Union passenger station. The merchants of Selma have always been accommodate ing, and for that reason when an out-of- town customer asks any of them to send his packages to a certain train for him they will do so. The city authorities are just as anxious for the welfare of the visitor while in the city as the merchants ami thus the complications.
 Mayor Clay has issued instructions to the police department to break the DOT tors of the stores of the habit of nearly taking the depot for themselves at train times in order to deliver packages. The way the porters have been behaving Is proving very annoying. as well as being nuisance 9During the past week they have rushed recklessly into the coaches of the trains and about the depot plat form and narrowly ayerted injury to children a number of times as well as jostling about among those around the station. According to the instructions which have been issued to the police de- partment. the porters who carry pack ages to the trains in future will have to walk a chalk line or be arrested. A dead line will be established across which they will not be allowed to go. By such a procedure the city authorities hope to make conditions at the station more agreeable to the out-of-town visitors.
 The merchants of the city are some what provoked over the instructions which have been issued by the police de- rartment. But it has been suggested that the way to deliver the packages safely is to always tell the out-of-town customers that his package will be there in time for his train, and that he look up the porter at the point around the depot where they will be stationed By such instructions the customer or the mer- chants would be placed at no inconven- fence and the packages would be -eliv- cred safely.

DALLAS TEACHERS MEET

Selma, December H.-(Special)-Tlle Helen cotton mills of this city, which were recently purchased by northern par ties, will soon be one of the best equipped mills in the south, if the plans of the purchasers mature, according to a state ment made this morning by Hugh Nal lory, who returned Friday night from New York, where he has been for the past two weeks closing up the deal. MT. Mallory believes that the mill which will soon be put in operation will do Selma great deal of good. He also states that those in New York who are familiar with the cotton mill situation are most favor ably impressed with this city as a loca- ton for such plants. In an interview this morning concerning his trip to New York MT. Mallory said:
 "The purchasers of the mill are now perfecting their plans to replace the pres automatic looms, and to make such other improvements as may be found necessary. If their present plans are carried out, something like s7o,00o will be expended In placing the mill on an approved operating basis, and when done this mill will be the equal of any mill of similar size in the south. The hope is to begin working up the raw material within 90 days, and to have the mill turning out cloth within 90 days I found that MT. McNeill has the reputation of being one of the best mill operators in the business, and to have had wonderful success with all mills or which he has had charge If MT. McNein succeeds in carrying through the plans on foot when I left New York. this mill will have a splendid financial backing and one of the strongest boards of directors of any mill in the country. In all events it seems assured that the mill will be put on 8 sound operating basis at an early date.
 q found that those in position to know are awake to the splendid ad- vantages of Selma as cotton mill point. I was received with much cordi- ality was extended many .courtesies, but to be frank, I was delighted when I boarded the train homeward bound, for there is no place like Selma to one who has once known its splendid ana hospi- table people,
