OLD TRAPPER TELLS
Of INDIAN BATTLE

Hugh Leiper, one of the few pio-
neers of the state left, who have seen
the transition from the home of the
buffalo and the hunting ground of
the Indian to a peaceful farming CON-
munity, is in the hospital at Dickin-
son with a dislocated hip. AS the in
jury heals, rapidly too in spite of
his age-the old time hunter, trapper
and freighter tells most interesting
stories of his early experiences.
The battle of the adobe Wall in
the Panhandle country in the early
eighties, is described by Alfred Henry
Lewis in the "Sunset Trail" Leiper
was there. He and Charly Trask
were hunting buffaloes and, as was
the custom and only comparative
safety, stopped at the fort. There
were some twenty men there, most of
them buffalo hunters like themselves.
One man had a habit of getting up
very early-nobody knew how early
and scouting around. One morning
when this fellow looked out, he spied
heads bobbing up here and there on
the horizon and did not need to be
told the Indians were coming. He
called his companions but they did
not heed. When he looked again the
Indians we're swarming over the hills
in all directions and forming for an
attack. The cry, "For Gods sake get
up, the Indians are upon u.s." brought
his sleepy comrades from their beds
and none too soon. Knowing the In
dams use Of hanging on the side
of his pony when riding to attack,
Leiper gave orders to wait until the
Redskins were close and then fire
at the ponies, %reserving a second shot
until the Indians, having played pos
sum q minute or two, started up to
make a getaway. This worked out
fine and they cleaned out the attack
ing bunch without losing a man But
more came up and it had to be done
all over, again and again, and they
were kept prisoners in the fort for
two days, the Redskins hoping to
starve them out. Two negro freight
ers got caught outside the fort and
were picked off by the Indians and
scalped along with their dog, and IN
return a negro who was with the In
dams and whom they sent to get
the freighters' goods was killed from
the fort. One of the garrison who
volunteered to go for aid, succeeded
in evading the Redskins and gave
the alarm at the nearest fort. A
troop of cavalry came to the rescue
the third day but the fight was all
Over.

a total of $90.40. These costs have
increased. This emphasizes the need
of keeping the horses busy and of
having nc idlers on the farm.
The best results from manure will
be secured when it is hauled direct
to the field, 6 to 8 loads per acre, to
be plowed under for corn or top
dressed on pasture or grass land. It
will benefit these crops and also the
grain crops that follow. When fresh
manure is to be applied to a grain
crop top dress with it 6 to 8 loads,
or if rotted manure is available, it
can be plowed under. On the North
Dakota Experiment Station Farm,
manure applied to corn land 6 loads
per acre, has increased the corn and
the following three wheat crops
enough to make a return of $1.50 per
load.

PRICE OF COTTON
 CONTINUES ID RISE Buying Is of Strong Charac- ter and Appears to Be On
 Investment Basis

New Orleans, January 1.-The price of cotton continued to rise last week without Interruptions or reactions of consequence. although large eleme nt in the market plainly expected a down ward movement on the theory that the market was overbought and due to un-' dergo considerable liquidation. Buying was of the strongest character and ap- reared to be, for the most part, on an investment basis. The net change was am advance of A to AS points
 Bullish sentiment was stimulated by the large export movement. the move l. ment for the season up to Friday night amounting to 3,OS6,O29 bales. Bulls de- clared that engagements of tonnage by cotton shippers were heavy enough to warrant the prediction that the total would be four million bales before the middle of February.
 Mill takings for the week were un- expectedly large, Hester putting then, at 439,00O bales against only S9s, ,000 year ago. Northern mills takings were put at 95,000 bales against G2,OOO q year ago, thus InOlcdtlnB improve trent in business in mill districts which hitherto have done more or less com blaming.
 The coming week will probably be featured by increased efforts to cause a. reaction but the long side is con- f.Gent that nothing but temporary downward price movements can be brought about as long as the export demand continues and the interior spot holders are no more willing to grant concessions than they have been of late. With the end of January ap- preaching improvement In the spot de- mand is expected as the result of the filling out of shipments.
 The wheat market is being, watched very closely by the south because thu rise in grain is thought by many to have had sympathetic influence on cotton and again 1t Is argued that this spring the south will plant high priced grain rather than low priced cotton. II is felt that further rises in corn and cats well result in heavy planting of those crops on cotton lands.

expression of his striking individual

the expression of his striking individual ity.
 Much of all this is noticeable in his wonderful statue of Queen Victoria, now at Batiala India; in the statue of Sir Titus Salt at Saltaire; in that of the Rev. c. II. Spurgeon at the Baptist churct house, London; the statues Of the Four Arts at the Glasgow art galleries. that of King Edward VI, now in Burma; the equestrian statue of the Gaekwar of Bar oda. and so on.
 One of Derwent Woods latest pieces of work is bust of Henry James, the American novelist. This was a special commission by John Sargent, R. A., but so fine a work is it that Sargent has waived his claim to it and allowed 1t to be acquired by the British nation.
 The interest Woods statue of Pitt has already created in England is striking 1t is known that President Wilson is talk ing a special interest in it. and many prominent Americans have called to have a glimpse of it whilst still in Woods fine studio in Chelsea. Mrs. Longworth, .nee Alice Roosevelt. has been one of these transatlantic visitors; and every one who has seen it has remarked upon the inn pressive grandeur of the statue which seems to embody the spirit of the great statesman, who. in life, did so much to bring about that peace and amity which have existed between the two great na- tions for the past hundred years
 The statue is indeed a magnificent one, and stands six feet six inches fin height. It depicts Pitt at his best and in q most characteristic attitude. With his right hand outstretched as if urging some con- vction upon his hearers. his left hand fs resting over his heart, Indicating his pas sionate sincerity.
 The figure is in the picturesque Georgian costume, with its long waistcoat and stock, it's velvet coat pleated at the back knee brooches. with silk stockings and buckled shoes. And over this is worn the flowing parliamentary robe of peers with its three wide bands of fur. On the head Is the curled wig tied back with black ribbon which Pitt was wont to wear.
 For every detail of the great states mans dress Jarman, the great authority no Georgian costume has been consulted, and the whole work has become a trf- umph of artistic skill that would be diffi- cult to surpass.

 This new system, which is said to be due to Lord Kitchener. has been great improvement over the old While in some cases food shortages have occurred, owing to delays in transport, there Is no complaint as to the quality of the rood. This is true at the front as well as at home.
 When the war office asked for tenders for hacbn, the contractors underbid each other so that it was feared an inferior quality would be supplied. Tnereupon. the contract was distributed among a number of firms of high standing at Il reasonable trade profit, the government reservlng tue right to inspect the in- voices as well as the meat. This worked SC admiraly that it has been followed since.

Home Brewing Revived

London, January 4.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-The new beer tax has had the effect of reviving the obso- lete art of home brewing in the country districts of England. If home brewing becomes widespread one of the main sources to which Lloyd George has been looking to raise funds for the war will be cut off. The brewing industry will also suffer-
