SURVIVOR Of
CUSTER FIGHT
Charles Hayward, of Mckee City,
Claims to Have Taken Part
in Indian Campaign.
Captured By Red Skins

While history tells US that every
white mar who went into the fight of
the Little Big Horn. On June 18th,
1876, with General Custer was killed.
there has since been learned facts to
establish that several members of the
Seventh United States Cavalry escap-
ed being massacred at that time. On
ly on. December 9th last John Martin,
a trumpeter of the Regiment, was bur-
led in Cypress Hills Cemetery, N. Y.
He thought he was the last survivor
of the fight, but there resides in Nc
Kee City to-day one, Charles Hay
ward, who claims to be the last one
left of the gallant Seventh who was
with Custer.
Hayward relates a weird story of
his escaping from the fight on the
famous horse "Comanche", which was
found wounded miles from the fight
the next day. He tells of having in
his possession the headquarters flag
Of Custer, which he picked up after its
defenders had been butchered by In
dams. He also relates how he was
taken captive by the Indians, who
found him unconscious near the scene
of the fight and held by them for "a
years, until the Spring of 1900, when
he regained some of the lost memory
he suffered because of a deep wound
in his skull during the fight.
Hayward retained the headquarters
flag until last April, when he sold il
to John Wanamaker for $3.50, as he is
now old and poor and cannot estab
lish his identity sufficiently for the
government to grant him a pension
He hated to part with this relic, but
was compelled to do so to raise mon
ey.
Hayward has many letters from for
mer members of the Seventh Cavalry
some of whom were discharged before
] thedamnas6 ghtaad40thars whoxer.
with Major Reno, instead Of the Gus
ter detachment. These letters con
tain data that seem to establish the
claim that Hayward makes. He is
still e~ndeayoring to have a pension
granted to him by the government
and his attorney has recently assured
him that his claim will probably soon
be recognized.

1923 BIG YEAR
FOR BUILDING
Trade Representatives Expect All
Former Construction Records
To Be Broken This Year.
Still House Shortage

When the curtain is drawn on the
year 1929 / have every reason to be-
lieves that we will discover that every
record made for construction in the
United States has been broken"
This statement was made yesterday
by Walter A. Ennis, the local Win
chester dealer, who makes it a part of
his business to keep well posted on
building conditions not only in this
section but throughout the country.
Continuing his opening. statement,
Mr.. Ennis said:
Nothing denotes the return of in
dustrial prosperity-which also
the prosperity of the nation-any more
than the continuation and enlargement
of the building program begun one
year ago. The housing shortage aus
ed by the curtailment of building OPP
erations during the war still exists
and despite the fact that building opez
rations in 1922 exceeded those of>any
other year by more than 81 1000, DOC, 900
experienced observers are of the opin-
ion that the figures this year will be
considerably above those of last year.
There is one little hitch in this
program, however. The building on
struction industry has reached a point
where it can go no faster than men
can be supplied to assemble materials
that go to make up a building. In
New York and other important CEN
tiers the shortage of laborers and skill
ed mechanics is of considerable i'm
portance. This condition may work
itself out and everyone hopes that it
will.
I'VE notice new buildings going up
all around us but very few people give
a thought to the outlay in money of
this construction work, so these fig
Conservative figures of 1922 place the
CONSTRUCTION activities at 1854, eE5,
900. of which more than one billion
dollars was for homes. In 1919 ma
tional building construction figures
averaged $40, GLIB 900 each week of the
year. In 1920 the average was $4S,-
$4,000. The weekly average for the
first quarter in 1921 was $29, 900, 900;
the second quarter. s53, 000, 900; the
third, $50, 000, 900, and the fourth s4S,-
600, 900. Then came the boom. The
weekly average for the first quarter
in 1922 was $780, O0, 900; the second
quarter $S2, 900, 600; the third quarter
$40, 900, 900, and the fourth quarter
around s69, 000, 900. The final quarter
is usually the poorest for the building
trades. Eighty thousand (80,000)
buildings were constructed in 1920;
10000 buildings in 1921 and 1000
in 1922.
In Los Angeles, Cal, a house was
finished every 20 minutes. The build
ings completed in that city>in 1922. if
placed on 50-foot lots would make a
street 100 miles long built solid on
both sides. One hundred forty-five

This will give one an idea of the great
number of persons who are engaged
in actual construction work. These
men require a lot of Winchester ham,
mers, chisels and such other tools.
You can figure it out as well as l can,
the vast number of locks, bolts and
other ines of builders hardware that
are needed in the finished product.

Mainland Baptist ministers have
been advised that the Northern Bap-

reason for the change of place OF

tanned that these hotels had ALREADY
booked to capacity for the Pennsylva

other headquarters will be selected
The sessions of the convention viii
probably be held on the Steel Pier.
Baptists generally are well pleased
with the change in meeting places.
They say they stewed in Des Moines
and baked in indianapolis, while they
will have cooling breezes in Atlantic
City. They point out that the Presby
terian General Assembly counts Al
lantie City the best of all meeting
places.
There is expected to be about 5000
delegates to attend this meeting. rep
resenting 10000 ministers and over
2.000,0oo members of the Baptist
Church. Members of the church re
siding in this vicinity are pleased to
have the convention come so near

which otherwise they never would
