TERMINAL IN USE SOON.
Removal Of W., B. & A. Cars Will
Relieve Jam Near Treasury.

Before the end Of this month street
car congestion at 18th street and
New York avenue will be relieved by
the opening Of the new Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis railway ter
minal, on New York avenue between
11th and 18th streets.
Workmen have nearly completed
laying the tracks, which form a loop
for the big Baltimore cars. When
the terminal is put in operation the
intercity trains will turn south into
18th street and pass through road
way which has been cleared in the
block, returning to New York ave-
nue., eastbound, by way Of 18th street.
Several lines Of track have been
laid on the company's property to
provide = layover place for cars. Since
the line to Baltimore was established,
the company has had to park it's cars
on the tracks of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company At 18th
street.
At some future date the company
probably will erect q terminal build
ing at 18th street and New York ave-
nue., but for the present it has re-
modelled the existing structure at that
corner into a ticket Office and waiting
room.

Stories of
Great Scouts
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON

SCOUT CALLED "TAM-E-YUkH-
TAH" (CUT-OFF LEG)

Amos Chapman was q scout TOT
Gen. Nelson A. Miles In the war with
the southern plains tribes In 1874.
One day, with Billy Dixon ("Hasta'-
Long Hair) and -four soldiers he was
carrying dispatches from Miles camp
on McClelland creek in Texas to Camp
Supply, Indian Territory, when they
we're surrounded by a war party OF
125 Commanches and Kiowas.
At the first fire from the Indians Pri-
vate Smith fell from his horse. His
companions, believing him dead, dis-
mounted, abandoned their horses, and
ran to a buffalo wallow, a depression
In the ground about 100 yards away.
The two scouts worked swiftly with
their knives deepening the wallow
while the three soldiers kept up a hot
fire against the savages, who were rid
ing at full speed In a fas~t-narroWlng
circle around them.
Suddenly Chapman noticed Private
Smith trying to rise. Boys, Keep
these internal redskins off me and I'll
run back and get Smith," he said to
his companions. He laid down his
rifle, sprang from the wallow. and UNI
der a hail of Indian bullets ran to
where Smith lay. Throwing himself
beside the wounded man, the scout
| pulled Smith on his back and rose.
AS he staggered back towards the wal
low, Is Indians rode for him at full
speed.
Dixon and his comrades opened up
with a fiercer fire to protect Chap
man in his dash for safety. When he
wns only 20 yards from the wallow an
Indian rode almost on top of him and
fred. The scout fell. but since he
did not feel any pain. he believed he
bad only stepped into a hole. He
ose again, picked up Smith and tum-
oiled into the wallow.
Amos. you are badly hurtl" ex-
claimed Dixon as Chapman dropped
beside him.
"No, / am hot" declared the scout.
Look at your leg" replied "Hasta,"
and when Chapman looked he saw
that one leg was shot off just above
the ankle. lie had been walking on
the bone and dragging the foot be-
hind him, but In the excitement of the
moment he did not know 1t His
friends amputated the foot, bound up
the wounds, held out against the as
saults Of the Indians until they were
rescued by a company Of soldiers.
Their brave defense won special men,
ton In General Miles dispatches, and
Chapman was given q medal of honor
for his heroic act. Ever since that
fight the Indians called him
'Tamt-yukh-tah" or 'The Man with
the Cut-Off Leg"

FREDERICK WILLIAM SCHMALS.
LES DARING RIDE

Down on the Washita river In Okla
homa one September day in 1874,
Captain Lyman's company of the Fifth
infantry were fighting for their lives
against 400 Kiowa and Comanche war
riors who had surrounded the wagon
train which they were escorting to
General Miles army.
That night Captain Lyman called
for volunteers to make a dash through
the Indian lines and ride to Camp
Supply, 80 miles away, for help. The
first to offer himself was Frederick
William Schmalsle, a scout. Taking
only q carbine and mounting the best
horse In the command, Schmalsle
slipped out Of the corralled wagons
and rode away. He was ut once dis
covered by the Indians, and while urg-
Ing his horse to top speed the scout
rode into a prairie dog town.
The horse stumbled, nearly throw
Ing its rider over It's head, then recov-
cred and sped on. Schmalsle had
lost his hat and carbine in the tumble,
and the Indians were gaining on him.

he had not run into a buffalo herd.

break, the scout began searching for

Ing and knew he was neal an Indian
illage. He must cross the river.
Plunging in boldly he managed to
reach the other bank In safety.
Daybreak found him In broken coun
try covered with thickets and In one
of these he hid all day, hungry o
thirsty. At nightfall the scout,
the North star as his guide set out
again. After riding all night, he
reached a hay camp ut Wolf Greek, 20
miles from Camp Supply.
Stopping here on'y long enough to
eat and to get a fresh horse, Schmalsle
sped on to Camp Supply, which he
reached soon after noon. While the
