Washington, Aug. 12.--Back in the home of it's friends. the Willis Campbell anti-beer ran into unex- pected trouble in the House yester- day, with little prospect of it's final enactment before the proposed re- cess of Congress.
 But last night there is said to be scant hope for the thirsty that the Bureau of Internal Revenue, cutting through the legislative tangle. will issue regulations long ago prepared for the sale of beer to the sick. Immediately after their failure to get the bill to conference, prohibi- tion leaders said they had been as sured that the regulations will he thrown away in view of the hostile attitude of both the senate and house toward the once popular bey- craze as a medicine.

BOYS PLAY HANGING,
 HEADER NEARLY DIES

MOBILE, Ala Aug, 13-- Playing hanging proved all bat real for Edward B0ddin, youth of II years, son of q Mobile shtpmaster, who is in very serious condition at local infirmary, the result of strangulation.
 A negro murderer is to be hanged here Friday and this ease brought up discussion as to how murderers are put to death. The boy took an awning rope, adjusted it about his neck, and climbing to the railing of the gallery told the boys to watch him. He jumped.
 II is thought that the boy be- lieved his feet would reach the gallary floor, but the rope was short and he hung suspended in the air The smaller boys did not realize that their playmate was strangling and not until he had turned black i'll the face and began bleeding from the nose and mouth did they summon help. A sevant girl was the first to reach the boys side, and he was cut down.

 THE HEROIC DEED OF "OLD MAN" RICHARDS
0, Western Newspaper Union.

One of the hottest Indian fights In frontier history was the Battle of Adobe Walls in the Texas Panhandle in 1874. The Adobe Walls consisted Of several huts, and two or three stores surrounded by a stockade, and it was headquarters for party of hunters who killed buffaloes.
 The Indians saw with dismay the destruction caused by the white men. They resolved to destroy the Adobe Walls and kill the hunters before they had wiped out the vast herds of bison.
 Early on the morning of June 2 q war party of Comanches, Kiowas and Cheyennes, under the leadership of Chief Quannah of the ComanChes, swept down upon the Adobe Walls. The buffalo hunters were awake, however, and as the Indians charged the white men with their heavy Sharps buffalo guns poured deadly fire into their midst. The Indians attacked again and again, but each time they were beaten back with heavy loss. Nor did the hunters escape unharmed.
 Three of them were killed in the first attack. and in one of the stores q young man named Thurston was shot through the lungs. Presently his cry of Water Water' was heard above the din of fighting.
 The nearest water was 30 yards away, where q pump stood In the un- protected open. In this same store was an old scout called "Old Man" Richards. He heard young Thurston's cry
 "I reckon now" said "Old Man" Richards, "Tll go fetch bucketful."
 He took bucket and tossed it that had been hiding near by followed him, whining. Indian bullets cut up the ground all about them. The pump was slow. It took two minutes to get the water started from the sun cracked spout. The pump was struck n dozen times as Richards worked the handle
 He pumped on without raising his head. The dog was shot down at his feet. 4 bullet tore his hat from his head. Still he pumped on. At last the bucket was filled. He picked up his hat, placed it on his head, took up the bucket and brought il back to inc store without spiling a drop. There was not a scratch on him.
 Its sure some hot out there in the sum-" said "Old Man" Richards as he gave the dying Thurston drink.
 Picking up his rifle, he took his post nt a window again without indicating by word or act that he knew he had just come out of the jaws of death.
