DANGERS OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when we are hot and
perspiring, just when they are most
dangerous and the result is neuralgia,
Stiff Neck Sore Muscles or sometimes
an attack of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan's Liniment, 1t stimulates
circulation TO the sore and painful
part The blood flows freely and in
short time the stiffness and pain leave.
Those suffering from neuralgia or
neuralgic headache will find one or
two applications of Sloans Liniment
will give grateful relief, The agonizing
pain gives way to a tingling sensation
of comfort and warmth and quiet rest
and sleep is possible Good for neuri-
tbs, too. Price 25c, at your druggist.

Wan, Okla, March S.-Two men
wearing red handkerchiefs to conceal
their faces held up and robbed the
First National bank of Wan, Okla
homa. of $3,51S at 2;20 o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon and escaped on
horses with a posse in pursuit. Thir-
ty-fiye hundred dollars of the money
was in currency,
Five men were in the bank at the
time of the robbery. Four of the
men, T. j. Johnson, c. A. Brewer
and W. p Davis of Wan and VIII
Peak, a farmer living near the city,
were customers. c. c. Howard, as
sistant treasurer, was the only bank
employe present,
The bandits marched the five into
vault The loss is fully covered by
insurance.
The robbers entered the bank with
drawn reyolvers and commanded the
small crowd to hold up their hands.
The demand was speedily complied
with While one robber stood guard
over the customers, the other bandit
pointed a revolver at Howard. The
bank employees had established a rule
that when only one of their number
was at the bank the lock on the
outer door of the vault was to be
turned, but the door kept open so
that in event robbers placed victims
in the vault the robbers could not
lock the door, When the bandits
found they could not lock the door
because the lock had been turned,
they abused their captives and threat
ened them with death if they made
any effort to escape before the rob
bers were out of sight
The bandits had their horses hitch
ed about half block south of the
bank. Not until those placed in the
vault spread the alarm did it become
known that the bank had Jeen robbed.
The bandits in leaving the bank
removed their masks They were seen
by several persons on the streets,
but were taken for customers instead
of bandits.
The bank is owned by |. H. Nakdi-
men of Fort Smith, Ark.

"Overtime in road service is due

roads overlooking trains so that they
cannot make their mileage within their
time limits. The railroads are doing
this for profit; they do not deny it and
if they propose to demand extra ser
vice at the sacrifice of the health and

4 IHETHER we shall be able to
w hold any considerable share
of increases in exports OF
manufactures after the war is over
will depend largely upon the En-

The theory that the nations now at

such an extent as to refuse to trade

Writing in a Portland paper. A. B.
Roberts, one Of the early pioneers
tells OF the great battle OF the Walla
WaHa river in this county between
the whites and the Indians as fol-
bows
More than 2O0o redskins made a
desperate attack upon about SEQ IN
trained oregon mounted volunteers
a. the great Battle OF Walla Walla'
which opened December &, 1855. The
first part OF the battle consisted OF
rushes against the Indians on the
part Of the volunteers, in which the
former were driven back about 10
miles.
There were no battle squares or
regular lines formed. the fight con-
sist ed simply OF companies or squads
going after groups Of Indians SIS they
came into view,
The order was to go for them
whenever they were 10 be seen. 1t was
well known that Indians will not
stand in a body ana fight where white
men are rushing directly at them,
even though they at times will charge
sr rush with the most reckles brave
~.
"The Indians were finally driven
back until we crossed Dry creek and
reached the first OF the log cabins
BUILT by the French settlers. BY this
time we had several killed and
wounded.
We took possession Of that first
cabin after a hot contest with the In
dians. who occupied it, and at once
established headquarters. Here we un-
loaded our supplies and dismounted
our prisoners However, the fight
continued until We had aptured
three other cabins.
Prisoners Are Ordered Tied.
1T was now almost impossible TO
hold our prisoners as they beheld
great bands OF their berthren rushing
upon us and being swept back. They
began to make every effort to escape
although a strong guard stood two
deep all around them. The officer OF
En3I EudFO sent 70 NOlOucl htAA4 re-
porting his difficulty in holding the
prisoners and the colonel sent back
orders to tie them.
Ropes were brought into the circle
and the work was begun. All at once
the guard was viciously attacked by
the prisoners, who seized guns and
knives and made desperate efforts TO
escape. There was a most desperate
struggle for a few brief moments and
before 1t had ended seven Of the most
powerful Indians that ever lived were
laid in death. say the most power
ful for there was not one Of them
who was not more than six feet six
inches
''Our forces pushed on. The cabins
were mostly captured by flanking
them until the Indians would retreat
Captain Bennett lost his life by an
effort to rush one Of those cabins

while it was fun OF the enemy. E, r,
Kelso Of company A, also lost his life
by the side of the captain.
Members of different companies
were very much mixed up. About 5
or 4 o'clock a large number of In
dians were on a bench at the foot of
the hills a little out Of rifle shot. A
small brass howitzer which we found
under the floor at the Hudson Bay
fort was brought up, and another
member Of my company and myself
carried it out on the greSsewood flat
until the bullets OF the Indians be-
came too numerous, when we drop
ped il upon knoll. Others were
crawling through the brush with pow
der and ball and old rags for wad-
ding.
Captain Wilson brought up some
punk for firing the weapon, and rang
ing it at the enemy he touched it oft.
The charges seemed to be light and
produced no effect.
"A double charge of powder was
then put into the gun and several
pounds of bullets. When the gun
was fired off ii ran back about 20
feet and plowed furrow SOME six
inches deep and there was great COM
motion among the Indians. Hurried
" we reloaded the cannon and it was
again fired off with the same results.
Again we reloaded the gun with
still more ammunition. AS the cap
tain touched it off there was an aw-

full explosion and he was thrown
back and fell with bleeding face at
my side The howitzer was gone
and a hole in the grease wood knoll
as large as a bushel basket showed
where it had been,
Twelve inches of the muzzle had
been thrown about so feet toward the
enemy and a small piece OF the butt
had gone the other way. Where the
remainder of the weapon had been
blown to I never learned. The In
dfans, with the exception Of two
bucks and one sQuaw, who were found
dead on the bench, were also gone,
"The captain, as l said, fell by my
side with a bleeding face, and as
raised his head asked him:
my God. captain, are you killed.?
NO, am only powder-burned,
was the reply and then he asked:
Where is my cap?" His cap, Of
which he was quite proud. was some
distance away in the brush.
"As it was not late in the evening
we gathered our dead, Captain Ben
