children, and their powder shall be
Again their wild attack commenced !;
they left the shelter of trees and
fallen log and charged the slender line
that held the right flank. Harrison
shouted orders to his aids:
"Send Robb's company here for re-
enforcement! Tell Major Floyd to
place Prescott's company in Robb's
position. Send Smelling to the north
west angle, Cook and Baen here! Tell
Colonel Decker to send Wilson's COM
pany to the northwest angle, Colonel
Bartholomew to send Scott's company
with Wilson's!"
The night was slowly giving place
to the gray dawn. A faint light stole
gradually through the dripping
branches. David could see how yell
low the faces Of the wounded looked
in the pale break of day. Baen, he
knew, was wounded MORALLY, Barthol-
omew hurt.
AS he neared the center Of the
camp, Robb's Mounted Rifles, rs men,
went by him with a rush, the gallop-
ing hoofs thudding on the wet turf.
Here and there the Smoldering embers
of the campfires blazed up again. Da-
vid went on with the sickening work
Of the hospital corps.
He was carrying wounded man to
the shelter of the wagons when little
Jimmy Spencer, Captain Spencer's
fourteen-year-old son, ran from the
tents and clutched him by the sleeve,
begging to be told if his father was
unhurt. David answered the boy re-
assuringly; he had just seen the cap
tain cheering on his men, a bloody
handkerchief tied about his head.
When they went back to the right,
Jimmy ran at David's side, refusing to
stay behind.
Father" he cried, and the soldier
turned at the hail. He was about to
warn the boy to go back when bullet
struck him In the hip and passed
through both thighs; he tottered and
fell.
go back to the tent, son." he saids
smiling. "Your mother will need you
if don't go home"
He drew the boy down and kissed
him. For long minute he rested till
his faintness passed; and then he be-
gan calling, to his men to fight on.
Suddenly the voice ceased altogether
as a ball tore its way through his
heart.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-02-01

such as Geiger's and Bartons COM
panies had just gone through.
At this moment David heard some
one calling to his captain. He strained
his eyes through the mist, and as the
man ran up to Hargrove, David rec
ognized him as George CrOghan. Cap
tain Hargrove spoke sharply:
whats the matter?'
CrOghan saluted. 1.-THE chief sur
geon has requested Colonel Decker
to let him have some assistance. We
have only three surgeons mates. We
need more help with the stretchers.
Can you detail someone. sir?"
Hargrove named Laurence and
Cockrum; they hurried away as Gro
CHAN led. From company to company
they ran, lifting the dead and wound
ed on rude filters and bearing them
to the shelter of the wagons in the
center Of the camp; here they left
their burdens and went back for a sec
ond and a third time, and each time
found some new victim.
And then David was in the thick
of the painting struggle which Spier
Spencer's men were enduring. The
horses lay on the ground, and from
over their backs the rifiemen fired into
the darkness peopled with the vague
shapes of the bowling savages; but
the horses, terrOriZed by the uproar
and mysterious singing things that
tore them, tried again and again to
rise; their masters kept them down
only by superhuman exertiOns.
There was a momentary lull; from
across the little valley where the rush
ing creek gurgied among the willows
there came a strange and wild chant
ing high above the grOanS and the
sounds of hurrying feet it rose, the
sOnOrOus cadence Of the aborigine's
prayer to the Great Manitou, the ia
Their of all.
"'Tis the Shawnee Prophet, singing
his own sOng," said Dubois, the inter-
prefer at Harrison's side.
David looked at General Harrison.
The silent horseman seemed to have
gathered in his eyes all the tremen-
dous tragedy of the despairing race
of red men. And then a grim smile
crossed his face, as he reflected that
he and his little army, uncouth, pro-
fame, greedy for material things, sor-
did as all humanity, was the flaming
sword of the progress of humanity
driving out the old order, substituting
the new.
The song of Elkskatawa, the Proph-
ct, the Loud Voice, went on. The
white men heard it and were troubled.
The red men heard it and grew drunk

Pretty and Sensible Morning Dress Which May Be Made Linen

Here Is a pretty and sensible morn

but is more likely to be made of cotton

The very latest in fancy pillows is
the flower pillow. These new cushions
are most attractive and at suitable

very closely. For instance, one may

SECRETARY BAKER, AS DEFENSE
COUNCIL HEAD, DECLARES
SO is EXORBITANT.
NO POWER TO FIX PRICES
SECRETARY OF NAVY DANIELS
WILL BUY FOR GOVERNMENT
AT $2.33 AT MINES.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, July 2.ASecretary of
War Baker, as president of the. Coun-
Gil of National Defense, repudiated
Saturday an agreement fixing tenta-
tive price of So a ton for bituminous
coal reached at a conference here
Thursday between coal producers, Sec
retary Lane, a member of the Defense
Council, members of the councils coal
preparation committee, and the Fed
eral Trade Commission.
Neither the council nor its commit
tees, Secretary Baker said in letter
to w. IS. Clifford of the council has
power ITO fix prices. He added that
the price of SO at the mines suggested
for bituminous coal is "exorbitant, un-
just and oppressive"
Secretary Daniels, another member
of the council, earlier in the day said
the agreement would in no way affect
coal purchases for the navy. The navy,
he said, will continue to buy from the
mines at $2.33 a ton, leaving a price
Trade Commission has ascertained
production costs.
In his letter to Mr.. Clifford, Mr.
Baker asserted that he believed no
members of the Defense Council dis
agree with him as to the limitations
on the powers of the council and its
committees and as to the effect of
the action taken. The fact that the
conferences were attended by mem
bers of the council and of the trade
commission, he declared, gave no le-
gality to the agreement.
The price-fixing agreement was
reached after 400 operators called
here by the coal production committee
had adopted resolutions authorizing
their committees to give assent to
such maximum bitumnous prices as
might be named by the secretary of
the interior, the Federal Trade Com
mission and the coal committee.

What Did He Mean2

Until three o'clock this afternoon
Warden Hanley of the Tombs prison
was a perfectly contented warden, says
a New York correspondent. He had
been told twice during the morning
that a man with frock coat and a
silk hat had called to see him, and as
the man was to return at three O'Clock,
Mr. Hanley cut short his tour of the
prison and returned to his office. He
found that the caller had called, fumed
and finally left this note: Thirty
years ago my father, who was of me-
dium height and undoubtedly punctual,
was employed as a heat denunciator in
metal mill in Pittsburgh. For years,
or at least for a considerable time, he
told no one. However, it was common
rumor. Now, after all these years,
does 1t seem that man would delib-
erately take any such action? What
would be his motive? 1 ask you as
q humanitarian to discuss this with no
one. Merely use it for your own infor-
nation and proceed likewise. l leave
for Pittsburgh at four o'clock, but trust
you implicitly.-A Friend" At late
hour Warden Hanley, having read the
note through 90 times, was reading it
through for the ninety-thrd time.
