OMAHA WILL BE BENEFITTED What Organization of the Cattle Interests Will Accomplish. THE COUNTY SEAT OF WAYNE. 1ta Great Shipping Record and Many Advantages—Fairbury Still Pro- gressing—Nebraska City Exe pects a New Road. g5 Importance of Feeding Farms. Desnren, Nob,, Nov. 12.—[Correspondence of the Bex.]—Whether or not the American Beef Pool proves & success or failure, It is certain the present manner of raising and marketing beef cattle will not continue & great while. The cattle producers of the ranges soe they are at the mercy of the manipulators of the various markets and that their legitimate profits are absorbed by them, while the eastern consumers complain that they are foreed to pay @ high price for an inferior quality of beef. These conditions cannot continue, for both producers and con- sumers will welcome and support any organ- ization which does away with & system that yields no profit to one, while it forces the other to pay a high price for an inferior ar- ticle. The day of unlimited ranges and immense rofits in cattle-raising has pussed away, his industry, like all” others, must be put apon a business basis and conducted carefully and economically in accordance with some such arrangement as that proposed by the American Beef Pool, which will accomplish the desired object by enabling the producers 1o ship their fat cattle to large slaughter houses, located at convenient points near the rangos, such as Omaha, Lincoln and Kansas City, there to be cutinto beef, ata fixed per head, and sold direct to the con- in the lar; by author- iz0d agents of the producers’ association, who will account to each member for the net’ beef valuc of the cattle sent by him. The cattle producers will then sell a manufactured ar- ticle in the best possiblo market, instead of selling raw material in a market where all producers are competitors, and, by saving many expenses and profits, will be able to supplythe consumers with better beef at lower prices than they are now ablo to obtain’ while their profits will be materially in- creased. Comsolidation, organization and judicious management are just as valuable and important in manufacturing and selling a beefsteak us they arc in minine and selling the coal with which that steak is cooked. Of course the producer who ships the finest cattle will obtain the highest price for his beef, and some producers, who, even now, recojmizo the & [ uating and fattening range cattle in the corn growing region, have at great expense secured barns and pastures for this purpose, some of them located quite near your city. Theseare prov- ing satisfactory investments even with the present depressed market. When the new order of things comes about the value of these feeding farms will become more apar- ent and every cattle producer will need somo such place in_order to sccure the largest prufits in the business. I is_ impor and that these ing farms should be Kreat corn- producing district with a convenient ship- ping housos, 80 the fat cattle will reach them n good condition, and also on a line of rail- road that reaches the range country as well. They should contain several thousand acres of land, a portion under cultivation, and the balance fenced. f course all the land should be in one truct, the water supply should be abundant, either from streams or Is, with wind mills and tanks There ure so many features uabout a farm intended for this purpose th hard to obtain that it is almost impossible to secure a number of them. Even if the raw land could be purchased in a desirable locality, it would require several years to put it in proper shape for a farm of this sort, and it is almost im- possible to purchuse & sufficient number of adjoining farms at reasonable figures. At I ovents such farms are hard to secure and is none toosoon for the cattle producers and Omaha capitalists to look about the cast- ern part of this state and secure all the suit- ble large farms they can for this purpose, for it is important to have as many of these feeding farms as possible locatod in the terri- tory tributary to Omaha. Since becoming intorested in'this subject, my attention has been accidentally called to a large farm near this place that seems to be particularly well located and arranged for this purpose. It contains about five thousand acres, three thousand of which are fenced in pastures of various 8izes, from eighty to six hundred and forty acres, cach supplied with water by a system of wells, tanks and wind mills, two ousand acres aro under cultivation in farms of about one hundred and sixty acres, with & neatly painted house, barn, crib, granery, wind mill, trees, etc., on each place, and the whole farm is in the best state of cultivation and neatness, although it is not used for feeding cattle but is rented to ten- ante. It is located in Thayer ity, near the B. & M. railroad and on the Rock Island railroad, adjoining the town of D eshler, and 18 owned entirely by a gentleman of that name ‘who lives in the cast. It is important to the cattle producers to know the exact location of all such farms. T will soon need them for organization, ding farms, ummense slaughter houses, refrigerator cars and cen- tral markets will soon bring good profits to all who engage in this business, and this will add & new and important, industry to your ap'l‘«ily growing city as well us the entire feed- et ‘Wayne's Wealth. ‘Warse, Neb., Nov. 12.—|Correspondence of tho Bre.)—Wayne, a lovely little eity of 1,500 inhabitauts and the county seat of the county of tho same name, is situated about midway between Sioux City add Norfolk in the valley tribu tary to the Logan river in northeastern Nobraska, on as lovely a spot of ground as the sun ever shono upon. The eitizens are awake to their best interests and have built for themselve large and imposing business houses and manufacturing homes and maguificent houses, and are here to stay. ‘The place has an air of cleanliness which im- Drosiea the stranger with admiration at first sight. During the month just past there has been from this station thirteen cars of flax, forty-nino cars of wheat, fifteen cars of 'corn, twenty-one cars of oats, thirteen cars of barley, seven cars of pota- toes and twenty cars of native fat steors; quite a number of car loads of horses and hogs and broom corn—a totel in one month of 161 cars. The wheat crop the present scason has been the best for a number of years. It is gstimated that the yield will average twenty three bushels to the acre through ocounty, whilo many farmers report i as high as thirty-five bushels to the ac the quality is excellent. Corn was never better. The reports of those who have been gathering the product are to the effect that it will average at least sixty bushels, and many fields will run as high as cighty bushels to the acre. But little of the new crop has been marketed, but what has, the dealers n, I;ngf excellent quality and will grade 0. 3. Another product which the farmors are becoming interested in is that of broom corn, The crop this year is excellent; the quality fino and the brush perfectly watured, com- manding the highest price in the market. Among the most prominent manufacturing industries is the Weber Bros." flouriug mill with the roller process, with a_capacity of seventy-five barrels r‘wr day, which is kept running day and night to its Tull capacity. The farmors are jubilant over their success the present year, and the prices for their pro- ducts aro better than formerly, thus enubling them to meet all their obligutions when due, and still have the crib aud bin_ full o soll whenever the prico suits them. Their coun- tenunces express satisfaction. and their pear- ing manifests independence. here is & eal of land in the country held by spoculators and not under cultivation Which is a detriment to the community. There are farms, however, for sale at a mlonnbh price, and to the newvomer no i inducements can be found for th st- meut of his money. There is not a richer il, nop & finer climate west of tho Missis- %pl oliln nonhmw? h&hnm\}(}n. and ayna county espevialty. The physiciaus are suffering for the want of oxm-clue. B Progress in Fairbury. aiaauRY, Neb., Nov. 12.—[Correspondent ¥ mlu ~The engine house of the water s baile. It s brick with cut stone trimmings and will be quite an orna- mont to the city. The pipe-laying is being delayed by reason of non-arrival of the pipes. Unless they come soon there will be danger of a freeze up and delay in the work. New dwellings continue to be built in all parts of the city and will continue to be built as long as the weather will permit, as the supply of residences is far short of the demand. A gentleman from Hebron is opening a stock of groceries in the Baldwin building, on the west side of the square. He is also a welcome acquisition to our bustling city. A restaurant and eating house is being built and nearly ready for business now, near the Rock Island depot. This will be an accommodation to travelers and others want- ing mcals and lunches, as the depot is quite a distance from the business portion of the city. The new depot of the St. Joe & Grand Island and the Kansas City & Omaha roads is completed and now occupied as passenger depot. The old one is being used for freight. The Commercial houso has been enlarged by an addition on the rear three stories high n{ovc the basguent, Twenty-three rooms have been added, includingan elegant dinning room. Mr. Peatson is now prepured to ac- commodate his guests in a more citificd sty The house is ha u large run of customes lately, Mr. Parker has retired from the Parker house, and P. W. Noble, formerly of the Lawrence house, Lawrence, Kas., has taken his place. The house has enjoyed a good reputation and been well patronized under Mr. Parker and we hope Mr. Noble will be equally or more successful. Another New Railroad. Neorasga City, Neb., Nov. 13.—[Corres- pondence of the Bre.]—Railroad news in whjch Nebraska City is interested has re- ceived a new impetus in the corroborative rumor of the Wabash building to this city, using the new Chicago, Burlington & Quincy bridge and then on to Lincoln. This inform- ation was volunteered by a Missouri Pacific official, who gave it as a fact and said the road would reach the cast side of the river before the bridge was completed. This is in substance the same story started by Mr, S, H. H. Clark morethan a year ago, and doubt- less has a solid foundatiol The B. & M. is still figuring on a direct line from Nebraska City to Omaha, Their latest. survey is from this city to Ashland by the way of Avoca and Weeping Water and thence to Omaha, The proposed route is over a good grade and is shorter than the Missouri Pacific road. The advantage and feasibility of this scheme is evident, and if carr| out would again re to the B, & M. a portion of the territc ently taken from it by the Missouri Pacific. The peeple have great faith in the projected new line. In the past two weeks no less than a dozen new firms have commenced business here, and more would open if buildings could bo furnished fast enough. The erying need of Nebraska City is “More store rooms, more tenement houses.” Ivery old house and available room has been utilized; new resi- are being built on ev pand, but the de- mand for houses is as great as cver. One in- telligence office had over fifty calls for tene- ment houses last weck. Many persons de- siring to locate here are forced to go else- where because there are no houses to rent. Mvr. L. Mayer, of St. Louis, hat and cap manufacturer, has disposed of his business at that place was in the city last week looking for a suitable build- ing and location to establish himself in business h If he can s o the ne ary building without going to the trouble of erceting one himself, he will open a manufac- tory here in the spring. A shoo factory has been the lalk of the past week, A gentleman from the cast has been in consultation with number of our business men with a view of organizin, stock company and start the enterprise. The old building which has been known as an “opera house,” has been oftered to the gen- tleman —as a bonus— for a factory, provided he would invest a ain amount in the en- terprise. One addition to our social growth will be an extensive shoe factory before spring opens. A new company, recently organized,will be known us the “Nebraska City Fifth Wheel Manufacturing company,” to engage in the manufacture of fifth wheels, general sup- plies for les, castings, ete., and expects to conduct business on a large scale in the spring, which will give cmployment to about, twenty-five men, The ground for the factory hrs been secured, and the erection of a build- ing 100x48 feet, will soon begin. The manufacturer of a patent portable and adjustable shelving wants to nanufacture his article at Nebraska City and is now in the city looking for a location for shops and warerooms. He said he first heard of our growing city through reports of our recent trade celebration. A gentleman from Cedar Rapids, Ia., is the hond of & company to engage in the manu- facture of a new style of stcam engine. He has been feeling the business pulse of Omaha and Kansas City with little satisfac- tion, and now writes Colonel Schwind, secre- tary of the board of trade, for information about the prospects of enlisting the attention of local capitalists in the enterprise. The matter will be brought before the board of trade at their next meeting and an effort will be made to induce the company to come to Nebraska City. The new Missouri Pacific depot was com- pleted yesterday and will bo opened for busi- ness to-morro It is one of the handsomest structures of its kind on the line and an orna- ment to the cf Mr. Hutchison, the new owner of the Trans-Missouri packieg house will arrive in the city to-morrow for the purpose of start- ing the new house. The resuming of opera- tions of this house will give employment to nearly two hundred men and make Nebraska City the best hog market in the state. Among the new enterprises started during the past week is a large and_extensive book bindery by Pitz & Young, of Des Moines, Ia. 1t is quite a large affair and employs alrcady half a dozen men and women. b A Kearney Back at Business. KgArNEY, Neb., Nov. 12.—(Correspondence of the Bee.|—Tho election is over, the an- archists disposed of, and Kearney is busy again. Buffalo county is good for from 800 to 1,000 republican majority when the candi- dates on the republic ticket are reliable men, butas is frequently the case in other counties on local matters, so it was in Buffalo this year, and the people’s ticket elected the county judge, treasurer, and district court clerk—Gillespie, Grimes and Nye. The per- sonal feelings which were aroused incident to u local campaign are being healed and all are again giving their attention to business, and the pushing of Keurney und her interests to the front. Our farmers, having been blessed with a bountiful crop of grain, makes trade among our merchants good, while the whole com- munity feels its effect on the side of a healthy trade.” Quite a number of cattle feeders have located here, which keeps corn in good demand at fuir prices, likewise bay. “The prices for Kearney real estato continue to advance slowly, with s fair transfer list as her improvoments continue to be completed and uew oues arc projected. She now has four miles of street railwoy with cars run- ning over its entire line, there being four objective poiuts in addition to the local travel—the court house, depots, hotels and the lake, and cast to the fair grounds. From the first day the line has paid nicely. Four cars are used and the people arve fast findin; out thut they are a great convenience an wonder how thoy got along without them heretofore. The traveling peopic are anxiously waiting for the completion of our big mew hotel, which they expect to open to the public some- time next month. Thoso well acquainted with tho road say it is the finest house be- tween Owaha and Deaver on either line of road. It will be finished and kept in meet with its appoitinents. Our much bousted of water power will soon be turuing the wheels. They aro now plac- ing two Victor turbine wheels which are vlaced on a borizontal shaft with a capacity of 300 horse power. ‘The water bearing upon these wheels has » fall of sixty feet, and 57 revolutions per minute. These wheois will be in motion within ten days furnishing power for the clectric light plant, soon after which other manufacturing intorosts will bo planted bere, Though the past two months are generally dryin this country and have been especially so this fall, there is now How- ing over the waste of the canal a practical Lorse power in water of 1,760, all of which can be utilized. Stiil Mr. Fravk, the pro- prictor of the cunal, is now preparing to matke this power five fold greater by widen- ing and deepening the canal with a Jarge stoam dredge which is al upon the ;fil'numl and will begfn work within s few duys, ! atest vailvond project in & line from | bero to Minncapalia via Nertolk and Sloux Ity qmu\ a uumber of capitalists of Sioux City and Minneapolis are interestinghthem sclves in this project, hoping that the Korth- western road may take hold and help out: but if not, they are determined to have outlet into central Nebraska to dispose of lumber and to obtain some of our grain and ments, Artic of incorporation are now being signed by prominent gentlemen for a line from Kearncy to Sioux City and before another autumn we will bo connected with the great northwest witliout having to go via Chicago for our lumber. ‘The last large real estate deal was the sale of seventy-six residence lots by Colonel W. W. Patterson to New York parties for 822,800, Items. Fremo .—[Special to the Ber. ] —The November term of district court for Dodge county is now in progross, with Judge Marshall presiding. There are oighty- four cases on the docket. The grand jury held a short session and returned three indictments against William F. Harris, a lascivious old brute, who, about two months ago, was arrested for assaulting threo little girls, with attempt to commit rape, at the North western hotel in this city. He inveigled them into his room and then threatened them if they informed on him. The indica- tions are that he will be sent up to the peni- tentiary for a number of years. The first case on trial was one brought by Peter Buckmaster against J. N. McElroy. Buck- master, inthe winter of 1884, one cold and stormy day bought liquor of McElroy, who was at that time running a saloon in Fremont. He drank the liquor and became drunk. In oing to his home he lost the way and had Emh his feet so badly frozen as to render amputation necessary. He brought suit to recover damages, under the Slocumb law. The case went to the jury last evening, after a trial of three days. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for 2,000, Rev. E. R. Curry, a young minister from Evansville, Wis., has just arrived to take charge of the Baptist church of this city, the pastorate of which has been vacant for a couple of months, He preached his intro- ductory sermon to-day to a good-sized con- gregation. He impressed his hearers as be- ing un earnest and able christian worker. Hon. J. R. Cantlin, of this ceunty, chair- man of the cutive committee of the Ne- braska State e, hus just issued a call for the annual mecting, to _be held at the Hotel Mellard, Grand Island, on the second Tuesday in December. Congressman Dorsey came home yester- day froma trip to Genoa, Nance county, wliere he went in company with Senator Manderson to make an inspection of the Indian industrial school there. The two dis- tinguished gentlemen were handsomely enter- tained by the citizens of the village who tendered them a compliment t. The new packing house at South F is receiving its finishing touches and the machinery is nearly all in place. It is ex- rected that the slaughter of hogs will begin in about ten days. The institution is located on a splendid site near the Platte river and the “plant” is a very complete and well ar- ranged one. Itis a little over two miles southeast of Fremont and is connected with the cif ilway and the track is graded for a street car line, which will be built vext spring. The h\uldin¥ is five stories high, 189x132 on the ground. It has a capacity of 700 hundred hogs daily. It has been leased by Messrs. Meycrson & Buchanan, of Omaha, the latter gentleman having removed his {:Illl_il\' here and will have charge of the usiness, e Death of Richard Brewer.

Kastor,editor of the St. Joseph Volksblatt, one of the leading German dailies in the west, is in the city as a delegate from his district to the Turn- bezirk. Herr Kastor has many friends in Omaha. Louis Illmer, manager of the Anheu- ser-Busch brewing company of St. Louis, at St. Joseph, was in the city as a delegate to the Missouri Valley Turn- bezirk. Mr. Illmer is one of the fin bass singers in the west and an accom- plished artist on the violin. William Henry Smith, general mana- ger of the Associated press, with head. quarters in New York City, spent yes- terday in Omaha and was driven about the city with Mr. E. Rosewater. This was Mr. Smith’s first visit to Omaha in seven yoars, and he expressed himself redtly surprised at the improvement and growth in that time. He predicted that this city would give Kansas City a hard pull for first place in size in the next few years. Mr. Smith returned east last evening. e PATAGONIA. It Has Been Divided Among Its Neigh- bor Harper’s Magazine for Novembes There used to be a place called Patago- nia. It appears on our geographies now as ‘‘a drear and uninhabited waste upon which herds of wild horses and cattle graze, that are hunted for their flesh by a few bands of savage Indians of immense stature.” I am quoting from a schoolbook published in 1886, and in common use in this country. The same geography gives similar in- formation about *‘the ~Argentine Con federation.” It makes the Argentines roar with rage to call their country *‘the Argentine Coufederation. It would be just as polite and proper to call ‘this the ‘‘Confederate —States of America. A Dbitter, bloody war was fought to win that name off the map, but our publishers still insist upon keeping it there, 1t is not a confederation; it is a nation, with a big *N,” like ours—one and insepara- ble, u d we stand, divided we fall, and all that s>t of thing—the Argen- tine Republic. To call it anything else is an insult to the patriots who fought to make it so and a reflection upon our owa intelligence. Several years ago Patagonin was divided between Chile and the Argen- tine Republic, the ministers of the United States to those two countries doing the carving. The summits of the Cordilleras were fixed as the boundary linef. Chile took the straights of Magel- lan and the strip along the Pacific coast between the mountains and the sea,and the Argentine Republic the pampas, the archipolago of Terra Del Fuego being divided between them. Since the p tition ranchmen have been pushing southward with great rapidity and now the vast tervitory is practically occu- vied. There are no more wild cattle or iorses there than in Kansas and the dreary, uninhabitated wastes of Pata- gonia have gone into oblivion with the “'Great American desert.” The remnanf of a vast tribe of aborigines still oc: pies the interior; but tfie Indian ques- tion of the Argentiue Republic was solved in o summary way. There was considerable annoyance on the frontier from bands of , roaming savages, who used to come north in the winter time, steal cattlo, rob and ravish and the outposts of, cjvilization w not sufe. General | Hoca, the Sheridan of the River Plate, was sont with a brig- ade of cavalry to the frontier to prevent this sort of thing. ; East and west across the territory runs the Rio Negro, a swift, turbid stfeam like the Missouri, with high banks. me miles or so from the mountains the river makes a turn in its couyse, and leaves a narrow pathway \,]n'ml‘p‘\ which everything that enters or leaves Patagonia by land must go. _Across this path of tifty miles General Roca dug a ditch twelve feet deep and fifteen feet wide. The In- dians, to the number of several thous- and, were north when the work was done, raiding tne settlements. As spring came they turned to go south- ward as usual, in a long caravan with their stolen horses and cattle. Roca galloped around in their rear, driving them night and day before him. When they reached the ditch they became bewildered, for they could not cross it, and after a few days of slaughter the remnant that survived surrendered,and were distributed through the army as soldiers, while the women were sent into a semi-slavery among the ranch- men they had robbed. The dead animals and men were buried together in the ditch, and there has been no further annoyance from Indians on the frontier. The few that remain seldom come northward, but remain around Punta Arenas, the only settlement in the strait, hunting ljm ostrich and other wild game, trading the skins for whisky and making themselves as wretched as possible. The robes they wearare made of the skins of the guanacos, a species of the llama, and the breasts n} young ostriche: There is nothing prettier than an ostrich robe, but each one rpresents the slaughter of from sixteen to twenty young birds, and they are getting rare and expensive as the birds are becoming exterminated, as our buffalos have been.

Pai srald: There are two casinos at Aix-les-Bains and conse- quently two gambling saloons and two sets of little horses. The more *‘serious” of the two casinos, the Cercle d’ Aix- les-Bains, has replaced the former in- ferior salle de jac with a new and sump- tuous apartment, which fairly rivals that of the gay resort of the place, poetically and significantly denominated the Villa des Fleurs, The Villa des Fleurs is “fast,” and though ladies occ wander in there out of curiosity scarcely the place to which any self-re- specting young woman of the present day would tuke her own mother. As often happens, however, the surround- ings are prettier and ma fascinating than those of the rele. Only man is vile. The, two nos, though taking in about 700,000 francs apiece each season, are not_supposed to make much and do not der}m'a dividends. They are philanthropic institutions, de- signed for the amusement of the popu- lace. The salaries of an operatic and theatrical troupe and of an orchestra and band, the cost of fireworks and im- provements, are presumed to eat vp the profits of the restaurants, the por)orm- ances and the gaming tables. The Cercle d’Aix-les-Bains pays Colonne a really cnormous sum for the services of himself and orchestra, one of the finest in Europe, but it is hard to believe that money is not made over and above ex- penses at the Villa des Fleurs, where expenditure on the part of the public is lavish and where they gamble for high stakes. The gaming table is a far more lib- eral place than the table d’ hote, for in the salle de jeu respectable but curious matrons rub shoulders with frisky and painted young persons, who would never be allowed to dine in their company at any hotel. One becomes use to everyr thing, and existence in a continental watering-place soon accustoms Ameri- cans and English to the spectacle of a duchess putting down a ten-franc piece side by side with the golden louis of a cocotte, and of arespectable and church- going citizen of the United States rub- bing shoulders at cards with a cut- throat adventurer. A celebrated Eng- lish comedian and a well known singer, American by birth,English by reputation Italian by name, fairly haunts the green cloth, replacing the excitement of pri- vate life before the footlights with the hopes and fears that hang upon & nine- spot. The most desperate gambler at Aix-les-Bains is, however, a woman, Greek by birth. This devotee of the green cloth does not take her seat at the table, on account of her sex, but plays over the shoulders of sterner man in 100 franc bills, and she risks 500 francs with the same imperturbability that she might put down 100 sous, This woman, who is immensely rich, has a face that a painter might take as an un- tovely model, The expression of the face is that of a ferret, and the rat-like countenance has its rvesemblance to a rodent intensified by a mervous twitching of the tightly compressed, thin lips and coni- cal chin. The small eyes stare from under a mass of grizzled gray hair; the skin is red and guiltlett of the softening application of anything like poudre de riz. The celebrity, who changes from the tables of the Cercle d’Aix-les-Bains to those of the Villa des Bluers and back again, does not devote much at- tention to her costume. It consists of a black dress, a black -jet bonnet, and, like the true gambler that she is, no gloves. While she) plays she keeps shifting and countiag the white and blue 100-franc notes, When called upon to give change, she takes ld from a purse; but as a rule, she despises the metal and deals only in paper. e to Dangle at Buffale Bill's Belt. nd Leader: Perhapsthe great- rience of Buffalo Bill's life was ling of Yellow-Hand, a Cheyenue chief, and the naming of War Bonnet o oming from that circumstanc General Crook was serenading Sioux with bullets in the summer of 1# Buffalo Bill was his wagon master and chief of scouts. A courier had como into enmp with the intelligence that young Sitting-Bull had broken away from Red Cloud agency with 800 fight- ing bucks and was then on the way to oin old Sitting-Bull up here in fontana territory, while Yellow- Hand, the big chief of the Chey- enne, had also left his agency without permission, with 800 warriors, bouna north on a similar errand. Troops were out scouring the country in every direc- tion, Crook's particulur business being to reach Running Water, follow on to Rawhide creek, cross a plateau to In- dian creek, and there meet and crush Yeliow-Hand or drive him back to the agency. Arriving on the plateau mentioned clouds of Indians could be seen far ahead in the dim distance, and one of the officers predicted that everybody in the civilized command would be killed. There were five companies of infantry and one troop of cavalry, the latter making a detour and coming around ahead of the wagon train in line of battle, while the mule whackers were ordered to dismount and fight by their mules. All this took time. ‘At last the red men drew quite near, when from their hosts rode out in front of their lines, halting midway, a magnificently equipped and gaudily decorated Indian, his handsome war bonnet filled with eagles’ feathers trail- ing behind, and a shining Winchester ritle resting easily on the angle of his arm. He proudly sat his steed and sur- veyed the pale faces with insolence and scorn, Then, uttering a war-whoop of defiance, the chieftain raised his rifle and fired one shot at his enemies. The challenger was Yellow Hand., His rid- ing forth alone, delivering but a single shot, and that in the face of his ene- mies, the uttering of a defiant war- whoop—all this meant nothing more or less than a challenge toa duel. Was there no one among all those white soldiers to take up the gauntlet so de- fiantly thrust at them? For a moment everything was still; not a sound washeard; the Indian mean- while striding majestically before them and awaiting the resultof his shot. Then all at once from the white men’s lines dashed a single horseman with his rifle carried at a ready, who rode ob- liquely along the front of the line, then turned suddenly toward the champion standing aloné and ready to receive him. Troops and Indians watched with deepest interest the outcome of the fight, for it meant a duel to the death. Yellow-Hand started his pony galloping in a cirele, lying far over on the oppo- site side, according to the aboriginal style of fighting from horseback, and fired shot after shot quickly and rapidly at his pale-faced u‘h\'«‘rsm'y. Buffalo Bill sat on his steed like a Centaur and only pulled the trigger when there was some reason for it, preferr- ing not to waste a shot unless there was some chance of hitting. Graduall; the circle became smaller, and the fas Yellow-Hand fired his Winchester, al- ways loading his magazine and manipu- lating his piece while lying alongside of and on the furthest side of his flying animal. When the distance had been lessened to about 150 yards, and when Buffalo Bill had been grazed more than once by his onomfy]v's lead, the latter sud- s horse, took a quick and denly halted hi accurate aim at the cling pair and pulled the trigger. Down went the rider a nd steed, rolling overin thedus both of them shot to the death. Rush- ing forward, the white scout leaped from his horse, and, whipping out his long, keen hunting knife, scalped the great warrior in full sight of both armies. With the loss ot their leader, the spirit of the Indians was broken. They could not fight after that calamity, the scalping of their favorite chief utterly and tefotally breaking their savage hearts.

That night the troops campe in Indian creek, and, in honor of Buf- falo Bill’s great achievement and hand- some trophy taken from Yellow-Hand’s head, the name was changed from Ir dian creek to War Bonnet creek, whic: latter title it still bears. s St Removed—Dr. E.
