TALES OF THE
FRONTIER
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
THEY SHOWED HOW A CHEY.
ENNE WARRIOR CAN DIE
B 1898, Western Newspaper I'm

ENNE WARRIOR CAN DIE
TN THE summer Of 1890 Head Chief
4 and Young Mule, two young North
ern Cheyenne Indians on the Lame
Deer reservation in Montana, were &C.
cused of the murder Of a boy named
Hugh Boyle. When the authorities de-
manded that their tribesmen surren.
der the two braves, the Indians tried
to settle the matter according to their
ancient custom. They offered the larg-
est number Of horses and other Indian
wealth that had ever in the history Of
the tribe been given as an atOnement
for killing a man, but when the agent
told them that this would not do, the
chiefs sent him this message:
"You will hang Head Chief and
Young Mule If we give them up. When
a man is hanged his soul cannot es-
cape from his body and 1t, too, is
killed. That is no death for a warrior.
Let them die fighting"
So they announced that on a certain
date the two men would attack the
agency and they expected the soldiers
to be on hand to defend 1t. This prop
ositfon for pre-arranged and spec
tAcular suicide was startling one,
but the agent had no alternative but
to accept it, On September 10, the
day appointed, a troop Of the First
cavalry and the Indian police were
drawn up in battle array before the
agency. On all of the surrounding
heights sat the Cheyennes to see the
battle. And with the stage thus set,
the principal actors soon appeared for
their part in the drama.
That morning the medicine man had
anointed them in preparation for their
ride to death. They had put on their
finest clothes and painted themselves.
Then, singing their death songs,
Head Chief and Young Mule dashed
forward, two men against more than
hundred. Under the hail of bullets
that greeted them Young Mule went
down. But Head Chief seemed to bear
charmed life. He rode unscathed
past the line of soldiers and police
firing pointblank at him until he was
out of range. Then he turned and de- |
liberately rode back, and this time |
bullet found its mark.
Later 1t was learned that Young |
Mule had had no part in killing Boyle,
but mistaken sense of honor prevent
ed his trying to prove his innocence.

Seek Reduction
of Freight Rates
on Export Grain

Washington, Oct. It, President
Coolidge today asked Samuel Rea.
head Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
system to institute a movement
among railroad executives looking to
a reduction in freight rates on grain
destined for export. At the same
time the Interstate Commerce Com
mission announced 1t would proceed
with an investigation to determine
whether present railroad rates on
grain and grain products are reason
able.
Mr.. Rea, it was indicated, may call
other railroad presidents into confer
ence on the subject. The commits
sion's program calls for hearings at
times and places which will be fixed
shortly.
The commission temporarily den
led the complaint of western grain
growing states which has been pend
ing before it for several months,
asking for reduction in freight
rates on grain and grain products in
the west, but instead Of Diminishing
the complaint, reopened the case for
more evidence. Present rates. the de-
cision said, had not been shown at
previous hearings to be unreasonable,
while earnings of western railroads
were found to be low.

Bishop JOhnsOn''s
Address at the
Mission Tuesday

The significance of the Lords Sup
per in the life of the church, was the
subject of the discourse given by
Bishop Johnson of Colorado Tuesday
evening at st. Marks church. He
treated the subject in a devotional
manner.
In the question box, he took up the
question of the difference between
the High Church and the Low
Church. He said that it was very
little to do with clothes and> ritual,
but the terms were used to describe
the view which members of the
church took toward their devotion to
the Master.
The High churchman is one who
has a very high view of the Sacra-
mcnt of the altar and believes that
he is showing devotion to the person
of Our Lord in that sacrament.
The Low churchman is one who
takes a low view of this sacrament
but emphasizes his devotion in SER
vice of where two or three are gath
cred together in His name. Both of
these parties have a legitimate place
in the life of the church and repre-
sent the difference between Martha
and Mary in their attitude to the
Christ.
1t is the special privilege of the
household of God that it can receive
both of these at the same altar and
preserve fellowship instead of enmity
between them.
In his sermon the bishop contrasted
the Bolshevism of Russia with the
Bolshevism of America. He said that
the Russian Bolshevist rebelled
against the tyranny of the Car, but
the American Bolshevist rebeIled
against the Majesty of God when he
substituted golf or business for divine
worship.
The Ten Commandments are the
basis of our social order and the man
who despises them is doing more to
lnJure the social order than the ova-
ton of soap box orators will ever do.
The largest congregation yet pres
ent at the mission, was present
tuesday evening for the next to the
last service of the mission.
The church building was very
nearly full and 1t is expected that at
the concluding meeting tonight every
seat in the church will be taken.

Boston WHOLESALERS Statement

Boston, Oct. 16-Lynn NJ. Ranger,
wholesale coal dealer of this city,
said this afternoon that he would is
sue a prepared statement later in the
day regarding the summons issued
by the federal trade commission for
himself and other wholesalers to ap-
pear before the commission to ans
wer to price raising charges.
Mr.. Ranger said that he had every
assurance that the complaint against
him would be withdrawn or that any
proceedings before the commission
would result in findings in his favor.
The transactions in regard to
which this complaint is made" he
said involve only /; cars. while dur
irs the past year | made sales &C
counting 80 sc. cr& thousand cars of
anthracite. At. tie time that l
bought and sod tho coal in question
there was no legal price H..cd and
the fair practice committee Iefcrred
to in the complaint of the trade COM
mission has never directly or indi-
rectiy requested that | confne either
my 'rchase or sales price to any
stated amount: in>fact, | never re-
'ceived any advice whatever from this
falr practice committee or any other
government or quasi-public board in
regard to prices. If anything my
prices to the retail dealers were less
than the prices of my competitors.
doing business under similar condi-
tons"
That this was the case is shown
by the report of the Massachusetts
commission on the neccssaries of life
under date of February "a, 1923. This
report gave in detail the name of all
Jobbers selling anthracite coal in
Massachusetts with their maximum
ana average prices for coal sold to
retailers in Massachusetts.
Ihcre was nothing secret about
the price which l paid for the forty
seven cars of coal in question and
the full actual cost was entered on
my books and records at the time
that the transactions took place. So
lar as the prices charged by opera
tors from whom / buy coal and nv
arrangement or agreement they NAV
have had with the fair practice com
mlttee are concerned, these matters
over which obviously have no con-
troll. | am informed, however. by
parties in the employ of the opera
tor from whom the coal in question
was purchased that this operator did
not have any agreement with the
1alr practice committee or any one
else in regard to a maximum price
beng established on individual sales
of their coal.
Furthermore, in my opinion any
agreement between operators and
any commission or other body as to
prices would be illegal under the
Sherman anti trust law"

Must Use Slang With Care

! If authors who have passed beyond
this vale of tears might return for a
time and re-edit their works, they
would probably eliminate many of
the slang words which at the time OF
writing seemed so pungent and spicy
Other words that were slang at the
time of writing the writer would
want to leave unchanged, for perhaps
now they are good colloquial Eng

One of o. Henry's characters de-

character used it, seems to be as

lasted.
There are words. once used as
slang. whose flavors have lasted
through generations until they have
been placed in good standing in the
language: words such as "prig,"
mob" and "humbug."
No writer could give faithful
translation of current colloquial Eng

surely be necessary. 1t therefore be-

AUTO WRECKED IN
COLLISION; OWNER
HELD FOR HEARING

Wilfred Leclair of this city sus-
tanned minor injuries and his auto
mobile was badly wrecked as the re-
suit of an auto collision with an
Oldsmobile car driven Ivy Ellis
Jones. an employe of the Wcsse-
runsett garage, at about $50 Tues
day night at the junction of Mt.
Vernon avenue and the road leading
TO Royal Park.
A preliminary hearing was held
on the mater before Recorder Ar
thur +. Tiffin at the police head
quarters last evening. and Leclair
was ordered to furnish bonds in
the sum of $500 for his appearance
at the municipal court at four
o'clock this Wednesday afternoon to
answer to the charge of driving an
automobile while under the influ-
cnce of liquor. He was unable to
furnish bonds and was held at the
police station.
Just how the accident occurred
seems to be a matter of mystery to
be cleared up at today's rearing.
Jones, who was accompanied by two
men who reside on Cushnoc Heights.
was driving south on Mt. Vernon
avenue. starting to climb the hill
leading to State street. In the car
with Wilfred I.eClair was his broth
er, Omar LeClair. and they were
driving out of Royal Park. Both
drivers claimed that they sounded
their horns but the cars came to-
gether.
Leclair's car which was a Jack
son touring model, was nearly de-
molished as the result of the i'm
pact, the right wheel being knocked
off, the left axle broken, the radi-
ator smashed and the engine badly
damaged. Leclair sustained a cut
over the right eye. which was at
tended to by physician. The prin-
cipal damage to the Oldsmobile
closed car was the bending of the
right mudguard and the breaking of
one of the windows. This car was
owned by the local Oldsmobile
agensy.
Whether Wilfred Leclair or his
brother, Omar, was driving the
jackson car at the time of the ac-
cident is a question that will figure
largely in today's hearing and which

Washington. Oct. 16-Five New
York and Massachusetts wholesale
coal dealers and Madeira, Hill &,
Co. an anthracite mining firm with
offices in Philadelphia, have been
summoned by the Federal trade COM

the Titan Fuel Corporation Of New
York; Eartwell Lester Inc, OF Mas
sachusetts and New York; Clement
=. Brodhead of New York and Lynn
NJ. Ranger of Boston.
The summons issued by the trade
commission results from an inquiry
made to the commission short time
ago by President Coolidge as to
whether some unfair practices pre-
vailed in the anthracite business
through the reconsignment of an
thracite shipments so as to cause an
unnecessary increase in consumers
costs. TIE President presented his
inquiry as a result of information
brought to his attention by the Fed
eral coal commission.
The trade commission in its COM
plant explains that most of the an
thracite is produced by few large
operators and the remainder by GER
tain independent operators, during
the 1922 strike congress declared the
existence of national emergency
and created a federal fuel admins
