moment one Of the Sioux, mortally
wounded by our fire. turned his horse
and ran straight toward us hard as
he could He knew that he must die,
and this was his way. All. those red
men knew how to die! He got within
forty yards, Keeling and swaying, but
still trying to fit an arrow to the

he would ride directly into us and per-

took place. Shaking off OBTAINING
hands, Andrew Jackson sprang from
our line, ran up to the fallen foe and
in frenzy of rage began to belabor
and kick his body, winding up by
catching him by the hair and actually
dragging him some PAGES toward our
firing line Mandy called out as
though he were young dog at his
first fight: "Whoopee. Git to him,
boy, git to him! Take him, boy!
Whoopee!'
We got Andrew Jackson back into

she recognized him as man.

Presidency Are Named.

Yesterday Attorney Samuel y.

in Denver, having accompanied his
daughter, Miss Rowena. that lar on
! her trip east to Boston.
When asked this morning by The
Sentinel if there was much stirring
50 far as national politics are con
lcerued, in the capital city. Mr.. Wheel

that interest in the national election

democratic and republican leaders
and he found sentiment greatly di-

For the Democratic nomination
Clark, Wilson and Harmon seem to
each have a big following in Colo

the three can prove that he has
great big lead over the other two in

Mr.. Wheeler stated that Denver is

many exaggerated stories as to the
success of the new form in Grand
