As no one spoke he went on anyway, “Before I lost all self-respect and went railroading I use to be n commer- cial traveler.

Miller Cuppler elevated his eyebrows in genteel surprise, while Panhandle Dan wrenched his head half way around and demanded fiercely “Who's said anything about snow?"

Jones. For purposes of reforence, of comparison and for general information the work is a magnificent rellex of the push and energy of a city that is the won- der of the world. Inits compilation oxpense has not been thought of, and the richness of its illustrations of the World's fair build- ings, cuts of the men and women who are directing to a successtul issue what bids fair to be the greatest exposition of an- cient or modern times, pictures of the colossal business blocks that stand as monuments to the enterprise of | tribes and waged constant their owners and builders, is typical of the “Chicago gait,” as the rush and bustle of the great city by the inland sea has been described. The book has been arranged upon a most comprehensive plan, the object of thepublisher being to give a complete resume of what may be secn in Chicago in 1893, and at the sume time give the information in a compact form, so that the work may be a valuable adjunct to the library und reading room. Its use- fulness will not end with the close of the exposition, but on the contrary will grow in value with years, for it is the most perfect compendium yet issued of an event which cannot fail to have an influence for many decades to come upon a1l lines of art, literature and com- merce. As Mr, Jones says in tho intro- duction to the work: ‘**As an educator this event will leave its impress upon suceceding generations and bear fruit in all realms of human thought, ingenuity and progress.” In addition to its complete epitome of what has been done, is doing and will be done when the fair opens, it comes to the general public at a most opportune time, It brings before the American people the forces that are act work to make the exposition n success worthy of a nation that in a little overa century has, from nothing, builded the mightiest republic of earth.

A Remintscence of the S hwesd (Copyright, 1992, by Chartes B, Lewis.) Up to the yonr 1859 the Comanche In- dians bonsted that the had never been defeated in a battlo with white men. They were arrogant and bloodthir: and were at war with the whole world. They would not make peace with other warfare on white and red alike. They were rich, strong in numbers and the best horse- men in the world and they made war be- cause they loved theadventure of it In May of the year named a Texan known as Captain Gordon, who was an old Indian fighter, loarned that th was gold in the big Wichita mountaing of western Texas, This chain of moun tains forms the eastern boundary of tho Great Staked plaing, but the Coman- ches ranged us far west as the Rio Pe- cos river. Captain Gordon called for volunteers to explore the gold fields,and the expedition was fitted cat at Santa [fe. He knew what was before him and he did not cut loose until he had 130 men. They were all bor- der men, and each furnished his own horse and arms. Every one had a rifle. and most of them a revolver as well.and Gordon got the loan of two_field pieces and trained a crew to work them. There were about forty puck mules, loaded with provisions und ammunition, and it was believed that the command was trong enough to take care of itsell under any circumstance. It was so long in gettiug ready that the Indians heard of its object, and Engle Featner, then the head chief of the Comanches, sent word to Captain Gordon as follows: 1 want_scalps, horses, rifles and powder. Come as fast as you can, Noone w frightened over the mes- stgge, nnd in due time the expedition set out. Captain Gordon was confident thut he would be attacked before ing the Canadiun r and he was not sur- prised at finding the indians all about him as the command emerged into the Chico valley to the west of old Ifort Jascom. gle Feather had gathered together warriors, the Hower of the They were not ovdinary wir but each could boast of having killed an enemy. They were mounted on the finest war ponies, and v one had a lance and n rifle, and some had bows and arrows in addition. A more notable war party was never raised by any tribe, and it started out to meet the invaders, boasting that it would bring back the scalp of every white man in the expedition. Gordon was familiar with the Chico and knew where the attack would be made. The Indians would wait until he v ady to enter the pass leading through the Chico mountains to the river and beyond. It was n position they could hold against 10,000 men, and he realized that he must draw them away fromit. The command marched to within three miles of the pass and then turned to the north, as if 1o sc ranother. For a distance of twelve the two commands held a pas e and were not over two miles a, The Indians hugged the base of the r: soas to prevent the white men entering any of the passes, while tehed for o battle ground in the vi . He found it twelve miles above the pass just at sundown on a June d The spot selected was a natural sink on the crest of a mound or a series of mounds taking in an area of ubout two acres.” There was a wall of earth around th sink, usif o smull lake had once occu- pied the spot. To the north was u stiil lower and deeper basin, large enough to shelter all the horses and so strategic that a few men could defend it. There was a big spring on the plateau, with grass enough to last the horses for thrce or four days, and Captain Gordon’s ided to force the Indians to attack hin in his position. A renegade white man named C who had served in the regular and deserted to the red- skins, led them in cavalry ta tics and he was with them at this tin Out in the open 880 Comanches, e armed with a twelve-foot lanc weapon they knew how to use with mur- derous effect—would have proved too strong for the gold hunters. Behind de- fenses the e would be different. There was only one place where the sink could be approached by horsemen and that was on the south side. There was aclear rond 200 feet wiae, ana the cannon were posted to cross fire over this. They had been kept covered on the march and the Indians had no sus- on of their presence. Just at dusk Eagle Ileather sent in word for the white men to go tosleep without fear, as he should not attack until next day. This was no ruse on his part, for he made his camp two miles away, and that of the gold hunters was undisturbed by even a shot. During the night Gor- don’s men threw up further defenses and cleared the sink of every incum- brance. Twenty men were told off to guard the animals, and when the sun rose aguin every one in the command W udy for what was to happen, Eagle Feather was in no hurry. 1t was 9 o'clock before he marshaled his warriors on he prairie, a mile to the south of the plateau. He then sent in word thut he hoped the white men would fight. He did not demand a sur- render, und he wanted it plainly under- stood that he would grant no quarter. His firm purpose was to wipe out every manin the expedition,and thus deter all thought of future invasion of his terr] Irom the way he disposed of his s he must have been confid. of speedy success, Tho mounted warriors were marshaled in lines having a frony of thirty men. They were eight lines deop, making 240 horsemen, The re- mainder of the force was held as a re serve. Nota warrior wuas dismounted, und no attack was made on the men guarding the lower basin, The Com- manches,under cavalry tactics as taught by the renegade, had ‘charged en masse with lances, and they had won a victory overy time, Thechief had never fought alarge body of white men, and perhups he wanted to test the value of his tac- tics on them. He was a brave general, but u poor When Gordon saw that no attack would be made on the herd he culled over fif- 1 of the twenty men to assistin re- the charge. The two field re londed with canist; and g« was ready on the piatenu. tugiven sienal the body of warriors charged. The first line was half a mile away, und the ground was clear of oll obstruction, The gold hunters were or- dered to reserve their fire until the field pieces were discharged. This did not happen until the first line of wavriors was within fifty feet of the breastworlks. The churge was checked in an instant, and the sluughter was something horri- ble. As was determined by actual count, fifty-three warriors and seventy ponies were left behind when the force drew off and returned to the spot where LEagle Feather had posted himself to watch and direct. The field pieces fired only two rounds apiece, and some of the rifle- men only got in one shot. Within halfan nourafter being driven back Eagle Feather sent in word that he was glad the white man exhibited so much bravery, as the honor of defeating them would be greater, While his war- riors had not been successful in the first churge, the second would be certain to win the victory, and he warned them to make ready for it.

Gordon watched the movements of the foe closely and anxiously, and he soon discovered t-e plan of the coming at- tnck It would be made on foot, and the lances would be abandoned for the rilles, ‘There was a ravine leading up from the prairie to the lowor basin. The Indians would be certain tocome up that; others would advance from the south, and others still would advance through the brush on the west side. The field pi were pianted to covor the points wher a rush was expected and the men posted anew. Three kegs of powder were taken down into the ravino and depos- ited among the rock torpedoes everything was ready by noon, It half an hour later when the Indians di- vided into three commands and moved to attack.

Their fiv was concentrated on the field picces, and within an_hour Gordon had four men killed and three disabled. ['rom half past 12 to half past 4 the firing was constant and almost entirely contined to the rifles, The white men were the best shots und were also more secively shol- tered and therefore had the best of it. But few Indians bad appeared in the ravine up to the last hour numed. Then they began to gather fora rush. One of the guns was tucued upon them and when tho shell with which it was charged exploded, it likewise exploded two of the kegs of powder. Ilow many were killed and wounded no ono could say, because tho terrific cxplosions hurled down the high banks and filled the ravine for o hundred feet. dozen or more bodies were found and parts of others were blown almost into the upper basin.

As darkness fell ho began his reteent to the pass, and he made no halt of consequence until reaching his village, a hundred miles away. None of his'dead was removed, but all the wounded were tuken away. Three years later he gave his figures on the fight. +Out of his force of 480 men he reached homo with only 190 who had escaped scot free. He lost in killed 141, and had 140 wounded more or less se- vercly. Of his 4% ponies he lost at least” half. Gordon’s party picked up enough lances and rifles to load a wagon. ‘They also got a large amount of ammunition and other plun- der. Among the Indinn dead were two famous medicine men and four sub- chiefs, and Gerry was also among the slain.

It was not his plan to open the fight as he did, but Ger had assured him that the mounted warriors could ride over all opposition. The direct resul for the tribe, but d muke matters worse. Ingle Feather was deposed and became n renegade, and the tribe divided into three or four factions which could never agnin be reunited.
