Interesting Recoveries From the Maine

Havana, June 18.-As the remains
of the battle ship Maine gradually rise
like a grim gray ghost above the slow
Iy lowering level Of the turib waters
within the cofferdam, the first dis
coveries are most interesting. A curious
relic of the great disaster has been
found. The explorers last night and
this morning recovered plates and 9TH
er chinaware in the officers' quarters.
Some pieces were identified later as
parts of the dinner service of the
eptian and ward room ness. All were
n q good stage of preservation and
were found pied as they had been left
by the stewards after the last dinner.
This afternoon the searches found on
the spar deck adjacent to the port
turret small ammunition box such
as are customarily distributed about
the decks. This coctained 4 congiom-
crate mass Of six reillimetre cartridge
clips for the naval service rifle and a
number ofshort knife bayonets in meta
lie leather covered scabbards. The
clips of cartridges were well preserved,
but the steel bayonets were reduced to
almost unidentiiable masses of the rust
around which were clinging shreds of
leather sackipgs.
The disintegration of the bayonets
is believed to have heen the result of
ealvanic action between the steel and
the brass cartridge cases in the medium
of sea water. This gives rise to specu-
lation regarding the effect as galvanic
action on portion of the hull may not
retain sufficient strength to warrant
the expectation of floating out any
portion.
Pathetically interesting was the dis
covery of an officers dress sword found
behind the toward port side door lead
ing from the officers quarters to the
spar deck. This door was found closed
and on being forced open the sword was
enupright in the corner. The inference

revived and said he would get Slade
yet.
at was at this time that Jules ap-
psared at our camp and the wedding
to my sister followed.
"Julesburg had had its name changed
on account of its being such a tough
place. Holiday, the stage owner, said
it was the worst camp between the
Missouri, river and the mountains, and
changed the name to Overland City.
Then not being satisfied, he moved
tho townside to place little further
down the river. but the new name new
er stuck and the old town with its old
name of Julesburg was soon on the
map again.
Jules said he was going back to this
place again in spite of Slade and open
up store. He left all his stock with
Pete Cazzou. his wife at Julesburg,
and went to Decatur, Nebr., to get a
supply of provisions. When Jules re-
turned he found that Pete was friend
of Slade and had driven all his stock to
Fort Laramie, which was Shades head
quarters.
when he heard this he saddled his
horse and set out for the fort. When
he rode up one of Slade's men saw
Jules and recognized him. He rushed
in and said. Here comes French Jules.
and Slade went to the door aud saw him.
"Slade shot Jules through the thigh
and knocked him off his horse. Jules
fired back from where he lay and broke
the trigger off his gun. Jules begged
for gun. Don't shoot me here like a
coward. I'll give you all l got to get a
gun, but Slade said, NO; l got you
now and I'm going to finish you He
shot him couple of times and left him
for dead.
at was growing dusk and after dark
Jules. who was still alive, but suffering
horribly, crawled off into a dug-out.
Slade sent some men to get the body
found him gone, but by the trail of
blood they tracked him and brought him
out and put him in corral, where they
hog tied him. Slade laughed and shot
him then through the forehead. He
then cut off both his ears. One he nail
ed up on the corral and the other he
carried in his vest pocket.
For years after this whenever
Slade would go into one of the saloons
or step up to the bar he would say,
Here's your pay and throw down
one of the ears on the bar. He became
loose and lawless in manner of caring
for the stags stations and the company
got rid of him. He was guilty of all
manner Of crimes and became terror
of the plains, for he had the credit of
forty-seven dead men on his list. He
finally drifted to Virginia City, where
he was hanged.
After the death Of Jules we went
to Nebraska. I still kept trading with
the Indians. Later went to Iowa,
where was married. I came back to
Denver in 20.

through the smoke of his pipe, he will

The mountains of Colorado have been
the scene of many an old-time fray.
but from out the past comes the history
on one of the most desperate and long
drawn-out feuds that had its beginning
out on the eastern plains of Colorado.
In Julesburg- Julesburg, around
which centers the memory of many =
pioneer, for this was the great outfit
ting place for the wagon trains which
wended their slow and arduous way to
the hills-was enacted the first scene
of bloody ARRAY.
Lee Cayou, frontiersman and Indian
trader, who is living in Denver today,
tells of the early history of this town
and of its founder, for Mr.. Cayou was
a brother-in-law of French Jules or
Jules Benz, for whom Julesburg was
named.
Said Lee Cayou: at was in'57 that
my father left st. Louis talking with him
my mother, sister, stepsister and myself.
Went to Decatur, Nebr., where we
stayed until the fall of SO. when we came
to Colorado and camped about where
Riverside is now located.
1--WE did some talking with the Indians,
for my father was an Indian trader
Mitchell, or Mitch Cayou as he was
called, and he never had any trouble with
any of them. He spoke their language
and learned it also. We went back
to our first camping place at the juno
ton of Crow Creek and the Platte,
which was about eighty five miles from
Denver.
I'VE had lot of vermillion with US.
the kind of paint that the Indians are
so fond of, and we traded this for bea-
yer and buffalo hides. For about 25
cents worth of this paint would get a
hide. Ny father sent these back to St.
Lonis and made quite little money out
of them.
"Well, while we were camped at this
junction. we met a number of French
Canadians, among them Pete Cazzou.
One day another Frenchman came along.
Jules Beni-'French Jules and he fell
in love with my sister, Adeline. They
were married in the fall of go.
French Jules had been having some
trouble before this. He had been out
on the plains since 80 and finally settl-
ed at little crossing near the Platte,
and he was appointed staten, or rather
stage, agent for the stages running
through to Denver. He kept commits
sary store and was doing fine, until Jack
Slade came along.
"Slade was division superintendent at
that time, for this was in '59, and he
came to the station and claimed that
Jules was getting money not turning
it in to the stage line. A terrible quar-
rel followed. in which both men pulled
guns, and Jules was the quickest on the
tigger and shot Slade, but not seriously,
wounding him. He only wanted to
wing him. "Slade watched his chance,
for Jules had gone up toward Laramie.
One day they met. Slade called to his
men to get Jules, and they hanged him
to the pole Of wagon. Hearing the
noise of an immigrant train coming,
they mounted their horses and rode
away.
The men from the train rushed up
to the unfortunate Jules and cut him
down before it was too late. He soon

abandon it and escape in the rush of

A curious indication of the light force

of the ship was m slsctrie light bulb

superstructure.
Exploration of the interior continues
to be interrupted by masses of mud and
rubbish. Only the clearing of portions
Of the roof Of the superstructure has

Other indications of fire are observed
around the combing of the ships deck,
supposed to be adjacent to the galley

sils are visible.

NEE DLEWORk
NOTES

When making short petticoats,
whether of muslin or flannel. face the
back breadths half way or all the way
up. The back of a petticoat always
wears out first and by following this
method you will prolong it's life many
days.
The home seamstress in a family
where there are many small children,
especially those of school age, should
carefully save all scraps of sheer white
materials that may be used for hand
kerchiefs for the little hands that are
always losing them. Dainty handker-
chiefs can be literally supplied out of
the piece bag if care is taken of the
scraps.
Before beginning to embroider the
edges of towels outline the edge of
the scallops with a small stitch done
on the sewing machine. The button
holing covers the stitching perfectly
and gives very firm edge that is un-
obtainable in any other. way. When
padding scallopedr edges for toweling
use tiny rolls of raw cotton instead
of the usual darning cotton. This is
sewed in place with fine thread 1t

When planning your holiday gifts
don't forget the invalids. Make a bag
of dainty lowered silk or cretonne.
running inch wide satin ribbon in at
the top for draw string and lining it
with delicately scented silk. Have the
draw strings long so it can be hung
on the bedpost in easy reach Of the
invalid's hand, without the necessity
of her raising herself in bed. In the
bag is small paper pad, pencil,
handkerchief and anything that she
may need that otherwise would have
to be handed to her by an attendant.
Sometimes d little surprise can be
slipped in the bag that will give much
happiness and help to pass the weary
hours of suffering.
Blouses made of thin fabrics often
look untidy and unfinished at the back
owing to the difficulty of concealing
the sewing on the hooks or buttons. A
neat way to do this is to stitch on a
small box plat after the hooks have
been sewn on or the sewing which
shows throuhg can be covered over
with lace, a band of embroidery or
any suitable trimming. When it is
the placket hole that is hanging loose
ly and in the case of a fragile fabric,
it seems likely to tear. sew a hook
and eye as far down each side as pos
sible and press the hook together to
keep it from coming unfastened. This
will hold the ends of the placket hole
together and prevent any chance of
their dragging and tearing.

DICTATES
OF FASHION.


There seems to be no deviation from
the straight, slender lines in dress.
The new necklaces and pendants
show increased length and are lacy in
effect.
A new style in the evening slipper
is the extremity high pointed tongue
of kid.
The rage for brilliant oriental color
ing is expressed in the new evening
dresses.
A touch of brilliant color. such as
royal purple, one of the new shades of
blue, or American beauty red, enlivens
many of the winter combinations OF
white and black.
Some of the new coats are slightly
double breasted at the waist line and
have only two buttons to keep them
in place. While they open far down
over the figure, they do not give that
appearance because they have i'm
mense double revers of sailor collars
that lap over the bust.
Hand tucked tulle blouses are worn
with silk suits. They are made quite
simple, trimmed only with tulle or net
jabots or plisses.
Serge, velvet, liberty, cashemire de
cole, mousseline de sole, some shot tat
feta with trimmings of lace. fringe and
fur are being used separately and to-
gether for tailor mades and visiting
dresses.
Jabots or plisses are extremely wide
and long. In the majority of cases
they extend to the waist line and over
as far as the shoulder. The shape is
generally broader at the top than al
the bottom.
Lace and the most gorgeous of bro
cades threaded with gold and silver
and worked in flowers of wool silk or
both, make up the most handsome OF
evening gowns. But beaded net is also
used, with a softening note of old lace
on the shoulders.
