with the purpose of testing the

Especial Cable Dispatch.)
Paris, Arpil Germany is an
CRY, or pretends to be angry, for
with her one never knows the bot
tom OF her sentiments or the depth
OF her aspirations.
She has gained all the time she
could and profted by every hour
lost by us. While the peace confer
ence, which from a council of ten
has become council of four, delib-
Grated, Germany modified.
Conference Procedure Defective.
Do you now see the fault and the
danger so frequently pointed out in
these dispatches? 1t is now admitted
that the conference procedure was
defective and that by not settling
Germany's fate forthwith instead of
creating a society of nations, she has
has all the leisure necessary to act.
But it is useless to recriminate.
Germany's press announces that
what the Germans have learned of
the allies intentions cannot satisfy
them. Germany, say its newspapers,
will not release Danzig.
If Danzig had been occupied the
day after the armistice was signed,
we would not now be in this Fix"
1t is because we neglected to make
use of our forces at the time Of the
armistice that we are where we are.
We imagined that a revived Po-
land, having found in General Pill
sudsky a needed statesman organi-
ger, would not once more be aband-
oned by Europe. Perhaps Germany,
so clever in the multiple tricks of
blackmail, only pretends to protest
against the release of Danzig to the
Poles in order to hide behind this
mask another demand. For it must
have foreseen the cession of that
port as the logical consequence of
the creation of united Poland.
Out for Austria.
Perhaps it thinks it will be pleaded
with to accept in exchange for its
loss of Danzig the right to incorpor-
ate German Austria in its domains.

MEDAL FOR FEAT
FIFTY YEARS AGO
Rode Through Band of In
dians to Rescue Govern
ment Supply Wagon

Leander Heron. of st. Paul, Neb..
has just won a Congressional gold
medal for bravery n 1868. That the
medal, thus tardily conferred, is
AWARDED only to the bravest, is
shown by the fact that, although the
law under which medals of this class
are awarded was enacted in 1868,
only 32S have been issued. Mr..
Herron's medal bearing this last
number. The story of the incident
on which the award was based is
told in the Modern Woodman.
Heron, now 20 years old, was a
corporal of Company A, Third
United States Infantry. With a pis-
tol in each hand, he rode directly
through band of dog soldier" In
dians and rescued Government
wagon train which was under attack.
In 1868 the Indians were more
troublesome along the Santa Fe
trail than at any other time in the
history of that famous highway.
Five thousand of the Red Men had
banded together for the purpose of
running the whites out of the coun-
try. Indians from dozen tribes
were in the league. After all the
stage lines had been forced out OF
business. a sort of pony express SER
vice was started in Western Kansas.
All the riding had to be done at
night, and 1t meant death for any
lone white man who fell into the
hands of the Indians. Among the
thousands of braves ON the warpath
was n band of so-called dog SOL
diers"-Ipdians who had been drum
med out of their own tribes because
they were too mean to live with. II
was with these depraved savages
that Heron had his encounter.
On the night of September 9,
1868, this man with one companion,
Trooper Paddy Boyle, was carrying
Government dispatches from Fort
Dodge to Fort Larned, seventy five
miles to the east. AS the men travel
ed along through the darkness, they
suddenly heard the sound of distant
firing. Soon they made out the
flashes of guns across the plains,
and, going nearer, saw that a United
States wagon train was being at
tackled by Indians.
Pausing long enough to load pis-
tolls for each hand, the two soldiers,
guiding their horses with their knees,
rode directly into the fray, yelling
and whooping as wildly as any braves
in the crowd. They had got through
the lines and up to the wagons be-
fore the Indians realized what had
happened. There were also fewer
Red Men to fight because of their
passage. The wagon train proved to
have only four soldiers with it; all
the horses had been killed, and the
men were beginning to wonder how
long they could keep up their des-
perate resistance to the Indians.
Before Heron and Boyle had been
five minutes at the wagons, the
bucks made another vicious charge,
which was repulsed with difficulty.

Realizing that they could not posi-
bly, get away with the horses gone,
the soldiers determined that one OF
them should break through the line
under cover OF darkness and get to
the fort for assistance. Trooper Boyle
volunteered for this attempt, shook
hands with his companions and
started off. Within a few minutes
shots and yells convinced the waiting
party that Paddy had been killed
and that it was up to them to fight
to the last.
Ammunition was getting low, as
the attacks increased in number and
in violence. Moreover, the troopers
were suffering sadly from wounds.
One of the men had been wounded
seven times by arrows and bullets.
Another had been hit ON the head
by tomahawk during hand-to-
hand encounter. The third man had
been wounded twice, and the fourth
had q b1llet through his arm. Only
Heron himself was uninjured. They
talked the prospect over and decided
that each man, as he reached his
last cartridge, should shoot himself.
so that the Indians might not tor
ture him. Finally but twelve rounds
of ammunition were left. The In
dams were apparently preparing Tor
another charge.
Another band of what the troop
ers thought to be Indians, dressed in
white, came up as dawn broke. and
the beleaguered men realized that to
beat off both bands was hopeless
task. The rest of tho story is told
in Herron's own words:
Before we could fire, We heard a
call in English: Don't fire!' Then
the man threw his carbine up in the
air and yelled. To our delight we
recognized Paddy Boyle. He had
got through the lines all right and
had reached the fort. The savages
had now broken and were fleeing
across the prairie.
"'What kind of uniform do you
/ call this?' l asked Paddy.
well, the boys were asleep when
reached the fort he answered
They didn't take time to dress. They
haven't got anything on but their
underclothes.'
1t was fact. The band of troop
ers had almost literally jumped from
their beds to their horses backs
when the call came from their
brothers in distress.
