When Iowa Was on the Frontier.
Only eighty years ago the Iowa coun-
try was an Indian frontier and its
people exposed to the dangers of at
tack by the redskins. The situation
is clearly shown in some letters in the
possession of the State Historical So
ciety at Iowa City. "a young Fox
Indian came in from Poweshiek's vii
lage on, the Red Cedar two days, past"
wrote Joseph NJ Street, Indian agent
on Rock Island, in December, 1886,
"and informed me that large war
party of Sioux recently surprised five
lodges OF Foxes on the lower Iowa,
and it is believed killed about twenty
Foxes. A young Fox, who was wound
ed in the neck with ball, made his
escape and brought the news to Powe-
shiek's village. The wounded man
says he counted twelve Foxes lying
dead before he came away, and the,
fighting was going on" A little later
Governor Henry Dodge of Wisconsin
territory, which then included the
Iowa country, wrote letter urging
that three regiments of dragons be
detailed to range the country along
the Cedar, Iowa and Des Moines rivers
and protect the frontier settlements
along these streams.

THREE LOSE LIVES
IN FOREST FIRES
THOUSAND HAVE BEEN MADE
HOMELESS AS RESULT OF
BLAZE IN CALIFORNIA.
Only Business Section and Few lso-
lated Dwellings in One Town Left
Standing, Many Country Villas
and Winter Homes Burned.

Los Angeles.-AS the result of the
starting Of two brush fires in the Santa
Barbara National forest, three women
are dead. the residence section of one
town has been wiped out, crops over a
wide area have been destroyed, about
1000 persons have been made homeless
and several settlements and resorts
were placed in great peril.
The dead are Mrs John Warder,
Mrs. Frances MarrOquin and Miss
Swayer, a nurse. all of whom sue
cunbed TO shock and prostration due
to the fire
The greatest damage was done in the
Ojai valley, ninety miles northwest of
Los Angeles. Only the business sec
ron and a few isolated dwellings in the
town of Ojai were left standing by a
fire which swept through the valley
Sunday night. Many large and expen-
siye country villas, the winter homes
of eastern business and professional
men, were burned 20 the ground.
The second fire. which started near
Carpinteria, Cal, on the Santa Bar
bara coast, and for a time threatened
the town, changed its course and swept
toward Stanley Park and Sheppards
inn, two summer resorts.
After burning over fifty sugar mills
and causing damage estimated to be in
excess of 100000, the flames were re
ported burning fiercely on the high
ridges north of town and still beyond
control of the 800 fire fighters.

foothold which lay for half mile be-
tween them and safety.
The face of Ell Captain presents,
midway, sharp convex. Just where
it is thrown forward in this keen
angle, the trail runs out almost to a
knlfe-edge, and the mountain is so
nearly vertical that it appears to
overhang the floor of the valley.
They made half the stretch of this
angle with hardly a misstep, but the
advance for a part of the way was
climb, and De Spain, turning once
to speak to Nan, asked her for her
rifle, that he might carry il with his
own. What their story might have
been had she given it to him, none
can tell. But Nan, holding back, re-
fused to let him relieve her. The
dreaded angle which had haunted De
Spain all night was safely turned on
hands and knees, and, as they round
ed it toward the east, clouds scudding
over the open desert broke and shot
the light of dawn against the beetling
arete.
De Spain turned in some relief to
point to the coming day. As he did
so a gust of wind, sweeping against
the sheer wall tipped him sidewise,

KING CONSTANTINE
ADVOCATES THRONE
DEPosED SOVEREIGN HAS BEEN
SUCCEEDED BY HIS SECOND
SON, PRINCE ALEXANDER.
Climax in Affairs of Greece Brought
About Through Joint Efforts Of
Entente.-Deposed Sovereign
Will Quit Native Country.

Athens.-Kihg Constantine of Greece
has abdicated his throne in favor Of
his second son, Prince Alexander and
with Crown Prince George is to leave
Greece
The abdication was made on the de-
| mand of the entente powers and thus
ends the anomalous situation which
long has existed in Greece because of
the refusal of Constantine and his fol
lowers to acquiesce in full in the de-
mands of the entente allies for the
freedom of movement of their forces
in and through Greece and for their
safety from attack.
| That the entente was prepared to
move with expedition in bringing n
| change in the situation in Greece is
| Indicated by the fact that simultan-
| eOusly with the arrival in that country
of the French senator, Jonnart, who
! bore plenary powers TO act for the en-
| tente, came the occupation by the
| Italians in northwestern Greece, near
| the Albanian frontier, of the strategic
town of Kanina, and by other entente
| forces of ElasSOna, in northeastern
Greece, situated at the foot of Mount
Olympus and near the Gulf of Salon
! Xxi.
Both the former king and Prince
| George, it was announced by Premier
Zaimis intend to leave the country
! Immediately. 1t is reported that they
will embrak on a British warship and
proceed to Switzerland by way of
Italy. 1t is presumed that Prince
alexander will take up his kingly
duties with full acceptation of the
ideas which the protecting powers de-
sire to be put into effect in the gov
eminent of Greece during the present
war. He is "a years old and has been
free from antientente proclivities.
The reign of Constantine l as king
of the Hellenes was brief, dating only
from March IS, 1913, when his father,
George l, was assassinated in Salon
Xxi.
Brief as the reign was, Constantine
had enjoyed prior to the beginning of
the great war in 1914, a period of re-
markable popularity and had in
creased the territory of the Greek
monarchy by over 30 per cent. His
attitude of opposition toward the en-
tente powers when their troops Occu-
pied part of Greek territory in the
Macedonian campaign against the
Teutonic allies however, brought him
into conflict with the statesmen of
Greece and resulted in the establish
ment of a provisional government
headed by Eliphtherios Yenizelos,
whom the king had driven from the
post of premier.
Throughout a long series of negotia-
tons and conflict with the entente
commanders Constantine was often
accused of being pro-German in SYM
pathies, largely, it was charged, as
result of the influence of Queen
Sophia. sister of the German emperor,
whom he married in 1889. Constan-
ne declared throughout that he de
sired only TO maintain neutrality and
that he was actuated not by pro-Ger-
man sympathies but by considerations
of the welfare of the Greeks.

and he threw himself on his knees to
avoid the dizzy edge. His rifle, which
lay under his hand on the rock,
slipped from reach In the next in
slant he heard it bouncing from rock
to rock, five hundred feet below.
Greatly annoyed and Inundated, he
regained his feet and spoke with a
laugh to reassure Nan. Just as she
answered not to worry, a little sing
ing scream struck their ears; some
thing splashed suddenly close at hand
against the rock wall chips scattered
between them. From below, the
sound of a rifle report cracked against
the face of the cliff. They were so
startled, so completely amazed, that
they stood motionless.
De Spain looked down and over the
uneven floor of the gap. The ranch.
houses, spread like toys in the long
perspective, lay peacefully revealed in
the gray of the morning. He could
discover no sign of life around any Of
the houses. But in another moment

the blow of the heavy slug against the
splintering rock was repeated, the dis
tant report of the rifle followed.
Under fire" muttered De SPAIN
He looked at Nan. WED better keep
moving" he said Come! whoever is
shooting can follow us a hundred
yards either way" In front of De
Spain q fourth bullet struck the rock.
Man" he muttered, I've got you into
a fix. If we can't stop that fellow,
he is liable to stop us. Can you see
he asked, waiting for her
to come up.
"Henry!" She was looking straight
down into the valley, and laid her hand
on De SPANS shoulder. rs there any
thing moving on the ridge-over there
.see-just east of SassoOn's?"
De Spain, his eyes bent on the point
Nan indicated, drew her forward to a
dip in the trail which, to one stretched
fiat, afforded a slight protection. He
made her lie down, and just beyond
her refuge chose a point where the
path, broadening little and rising in
stead of sloping toward the outer
edge, gave him a chance to brace him
self between two rocks. Flattened
there like a target in midair, he threw
his hat down to Nan, and, resting on
one knee, waited for the shot that
should tumble him down Ell Captain or
Detray the man bent on killing him.
