champion was Buffalo Bills horse Tall Bun' This horse had sin gular history and was supposed to be a mixture. of the American Wild thoroughbred mare. Height, size and speed exceeded the ordinary range horse. He was captured in 1859, in the battle of Summit Springs, when Cody, who was Chief of Scouts, and General Eugene A. Carr Commander achieved then very sensational vic tory over the Renegade Dog Soldier Sioux.
 For six months the troops had pur- sued, trailed and skirmished with these Marauders under the noted Chief Tall Bull,' whose audacity on ac- count of his speedy mount. became an irritable performance. Officers, men and scouts all dreamed of the glory of bringing down the red chief and securing his marvellous steed.
 In the battle, Buffalo Bill was for tunate to be singled out by this wiley chief and in the duel, Cody won, kill ing ns the ; warrior capturing the horse
 With him the Fifth Cavalry clean ed up enough money to become noted as the Wealthy Fffth.'' Tall BulI' was the Army Champion and Cody the premier of jockies.
 The then allied Pawnee Indians, com Dy uLuCI Dui falo Bill as Scout, suffered defeat af- ter defeat by the horse from the hat ed Sioux. It grated on them and they determined to defeat Tall Bull and seal his fate forever.
 After long search they found down in the Indian Territory, among the then half civilized tribes. a horse that had eclipsed every known record, and quietly brought him north, and made a match with a money basis, but with an agreement that the Losing Horse Be Shot
 So sure did they. believe in victory they bet their blankets, ponies, money and mortgaged advance pay, smiling ly contemplating the grand coup they had in store for their white brother. Cody rode his horse, and young White Eagle the Pawnee entry. It was a race, but Buffalo Bill riding bareback came on leading by length amid the plaudits of the garrison, crossed the line winner, when shot rang out and the .Pawnee Race Horse dropped dead as he crossed the score. The red man fulfilled the agreement.

300 FIRES LAID TO BOY
Fire Bug Syndicate, Police Aver. Ii
Composed of Insurance Brokers
and Adjusters.

New York.-Isidor Steinrutzer, an
east side youth OF diminutive stature.
is under arrest charged by the fire
marshal with being the head of a
widely ramified "firebug syndicate
and of having started more than 800
fires in this city in the last FIVE years.
Isidor, when cornered by the marshal
on a fire escape in 118th street, was
smoking a cigarette and watching the
panic and distress caused by a tene-
ment house fire, in which the lives
and property of eighty persons were
in danger. He is charged with having
started this fire in conspiracy with
Samuel Gold, in whose fiat the fire oc-
CURED, and who is also under arrest.
The firebug syndicate is said to be
composed of a number of east side
fire insurance brokers and adjusters,
a few underworld characters and a
swarm of runners" whose vocation is
to approach east side tenement dwell
ers who are poor and easily tempted
into dishonesty, and whom the run
ners" persuade to join in a swindle
of the fire insurance companies by
overinsuring their few pieces of furni-
ture and allowing the Operatives" of
the syndicate to set the furniture
afire.
The average price charged for start
ing a fire is about s25. According to
the fire commissioner, 25 per cent of
the fires in New York city are Of the
incendiary origin.

FORTUNE TO SAVE TREES
Wealthy CaIifornians Are Spending
Thousands in Fighting
New Blight.

San Francisco.-A considerable for
tune is being spent by wealthy Cali
fornians in an effort to save groves
on beautiful estates near this city
from a blight that has recently at
tackled most of the trees. Tree sur
geons are gathering here from vari-
Gus parts of the country and are
working hard under offers of large
rewards If they can stop the destruc-
ton. Should they fail, it is probable
that foresters will be brought from
Europe
The blight is in the form of a fun
gus known as the volsaria bacteria.
After 1t has taken hold on tree thou
sands Of worms develope They are
much like the carpenter borer These
pierce the bark through and through,
and sometimes make large holes.
Their ravages were not detected until
many of the fine shade trees wilted
this season and were threatened with
quick death. Tree authorities Of Stan
ford university were called in and
found that the blight extended among
the estates in beautiful Menlo park.
They also discovered that the disease
was spreading rapidly to the north
The Stanford scientists could not
tell the source of the blight, and then
the surgeons from the east were call
ed In, among them G. H. Bishop, who
was trained at the Yale School of
Forestry. The only thing that has
served to help the trees has been to
remove the fungus when found, and
plug the holes made by the borers
with cement. In some instances as
high as $500 has been spent to save a
single tree, and the total expense will
run high into the thousands.
One theory is that the germ of the
fungus has been brought in from
Asia, from which many trees have
been imported to beautify the grounds
of wealthy men. 1t is probable that
investigators will be sent to Japan
and China in an effort to trace the dis
ease.
Pine forests throughout the north
| west Pacific coast are also being de
vastated. A species of beetle lays its
eggs in the bark of the tree From
them come grubs that grow inside the
bark and feed on the tree until they
! are developed, when they bore out and
become beetles which fly away to de
stroy other trees. Hundreds of in
fected pines have been cut down and
state and government authorities are
| cooperating with lumbermen in an eff
| fort to wipe out the pest
