found themselves in the presence of
1000 or 1900 Indians of various
tribes, all armed. painted and de-

The soldiers spread out in skirm-

into their country, and the colonel
thought he had satisfied them that
he had no hostile intentions, but
still they refused to let him have
canoes to cross the Spokane river. !
Colonel Steptoe then decided to re-
turn to Walla Walla. On the morn-

the fight became general and was
kept up all day. At night the camp
fires of the Indians were seen in

ficers that unless they escaped dur

Timothy, the guide, sought, at
great peril to himself, and found an
opening through which the troops .
might escape.

picketed to one side to suggest a
trap for the Indians, and between

forth for the Snake river, IS miles

during which time six men were lost,
and at day break they mounted their
horses and at dusk reached the head
of Steptoe canyon (near Colton) and
arrived at the river at midnight

command. The loss of lthe COM

1t is a remarkable fact that the
Indians were better armed than
were the soldiers. One company of

KILLED IN HOUSE
New Reorganization Bill Will Be Sub
stituted for Leased Line Measure
in New Hampshire.

CONCORD, n. H, April 16-The meas
ure for the reorganization of the Boston
and Maine railroad which would have pro-
vided for the consolidation of the leased
lines of the company on a vote of two
thirds of the stockholders of the compa
MES concerned was killed in the house of
representatives yesterday. The bill was
reported by minority of the Judiciary
committee.
The provisions of the new reorganization
bill favored by the majority of the com
mittee, which will be introduced in the
legislature probably Tuesday, were made
public last night. 1t was drawn, members
of the committee explained, in the belief
that it would give the Boston and Maine
the relief the committee thought it need
ed but it would not allow consolidation
with the leased lines.
By the terms of the bill, the Boston and
Maine is to have the right to issue stock
and bonds, to mortgage any or all of its
property and franchises, to pledge or sell
its assets, to reduce or increase its capital
stock, to assess its stockholders by any
method, to reorganiZe itself if necessary
for these purposes, to pay or fund its ex
istng floating Indebtedness, and to i'm
prove its property.

suggesting to all civic and commercial
organizations in Vermont the desira-
bility OF securing the cooperation of
their communities and all local organi-

is especially important this year that
the campaign be a statewide affair af-
fecting every community, if Vermont
is to play her part as an ideal state for
residence and travel.

the presidents and the secretaries of
Vermont civic and commercial organ
izations:

ing, while anchored seven miles to the
west of the North Hinder lightship in the
North Sea. The crew of % men were
saved and taken aboard the lightship
The katwyk was freight steamer Built
in 1903 she was 1887 net tons and 2S1
feet long. She sailed from Baltimore
March 26 for Rotterdam and passed Dover
the 14th. She carried 116,SS3 bushels of
corn consigned to the Netherlands govern

a despatch to Reuters at London from
Flushing reports the arrival there of the
crew of the katwyk. The men say that
while the night watch was being changed
a severe shock was felt and the ship be-
gan to take in water. As the steamer was
sinking the crew took to the boats and
while rowing away saw the periscope of
submarine which quickly disappeared
The katwyk sank 10 minutes after the ex-
plosion.
Reuters Amsterdam correspondent says
the katwyk had been lying at anchor for
l. minutes when she was torpedoed on
the port side. The correspondent says
message received from the Hook of Holland
declares that all the ships lights We're
burning at the time of the attack. After
the torpedo struck the Katwyk caught fire

The Amsterdam Telegram, commenting

rect that the German government will,
without loss of time, be made responsible
for this severe violation of the rights of
neutral powers. The talk of there being

The Rotterdam Maasbode says of the in

bitterest form. While the actions of Ger
