ARMED INDIANS
DEFY OFFICERS
Angry Utes Refuse to Surren

and Ammunition, Are liig
Kabbit and Friend.
Cortes, Colo. Determined not to
deliver Big Rabbit, one of their tribe
men, to the county authorities to an
swer a Jcharge of assault, the 60 Ute
Indians who are entrenched In the
mountain 18 mile from here, defied a
sheriff's posse of 100 men.
The Indiana fortified their portion
after they left the Ute reaervation in
Southern Colorado, and declare they
will fight the white men to death
rather than Rive up Big Rabbit.
Indian Agent Spear haabeen apeal
ed to by the county authorities, In the
hope that he might be able to induce
the Indiana to return to the reaerva
tion and surrender Big Italibit.
SNar'a advances, however, were re
hulfed, and he has telegraphed the In
terior department in Washington for
iiiHtructions. Spear aaid he would
take no further action until he had
heard from Washington.
As soon as the Utes learned that
Hig Itabbit was wanted by the Mherilf,
who would place him under arreat to
fare the charge of having ahot Jomph
Vichel, a Mexican shecpherdcr, the
Indian's friends departed with him in
to the mountains.
All are armed with repeating rifles
and are said to be amply supplied with
ammunition. Slier I IT (iawith learned
Sunday of the revolt. With a few
deputies he hastened to the Indians'
stronghold, but was met by threaten
ing rilles. A messenger friendly to
the Indians was sent to tulk with the
leaders of the band. They refused to
enter into any agreement which meant
the surrender of their companion.
The sheritl retreated to (.ortcx and
swore in 100 deputies, thinking he
could awe the Indians into submission
by a show of greater strength. When
the posse arrived at the pass where
the Indians were fortified it was found
that the spirit of defiance of the In
dians hail greatly increased. The
sheriff retreated, seeking the aid of
I mi i an Agent Spear.
MODISTES AKK MI CH INJL'KKI)
Wilson's Derision to Forego Inaug
ural Hall Cause Los.
New York In all parts of the coun
try the decision of President-elect
Wilson to have no inaugural ball has
dismayed modistes and milliners. It
is estimated that the omission of the
tratlitional Washington festival will
mean a loss of $ 1.600,000 to them,
this amount being usually spent for
gowns, hats, wraps and clothes spe
cially designed for the event. Some
orders given in a tentative way h
already been received here for gowns
to be worn at the bail, and those who
hud set tho machinery In motion to
get them expressed keen disappoint
ment. The styles which would have
been appropriate for the ball would
not have been actuully ready until
early next month, as this is now be
tween seasons and the dressmaking es
tablishment are working with re
duced forces.
There would have been many orders
for gowns in some establishments,
One large house which was about to
ettablinh a branch temporarily in a
Washington hotel to look after the
supplying of inauguration costumes,
decided not to do so. Another estab
lishment is In receipt of several orders
for gowns suitable for fhe function
and is uncertain whether to proceed
with the making of the garments.

WILL START AL'HIAL FKHRY
Enterprising Aviator Makea Money
On Passenger Route.
Sun Francisco That aviation is
soon to be placed upon a commercial
basis In San rrancisco has been evl
denced by W. II. Huttner, f. seal agent
of the newly Incorporated Aerial
Yacht company, who has just filed du
plicate articles at the office of County
Clerk Mulcrevy.
This company, which not only will
provide for the institution of aerial
navigation, but also plans to institute
hydro-aeroplane ferry service in the
near future between this city and bay
ixilnts, Is the outgrowth of a newly In
vented craft, designed by Silas Chris-
tolferaon, of Vancouver, Wash., aaid
to be the last word in nauto-aerlal effi
ciency.
In model his dying boat Is similar to
the Curtis hydro-aeroplane, but many
innovations which tend to the comfort
and safety of thoae on board have been
added.
It is designed to carry two passen
gers besides the pilot and will be lux
uriously finished in mahogany, with
deep upholstered seats not unlike those
of an automobile.
Instead of the usual pontoons, a boat
has been provided, which can be in-
stuntly detached from the flying ap
paratus, so that In case or accident
the boat can be driven through the
water under Its own power.
The hull is 24 feet long and three
feet wide, with a floating capacity of
4000 pounds, divided into six airtight
compartments The engine, which is
set in the boat, is a Curtis 80-horse
K)wer model, and the power will be
transmitted to the propeller by chain.
The boat is entirely covered over, ex
cepting by the cockpit, which is pro
tected by a rising hood, affording pro
tection from spray. The engine is
equipped with a self-starter and the
plane is provided with an electrical
lighting system. The exhaust from
the motor is so arranged as to heat the
seating space in esse of cold weather.
Many prominent men have been taK-
en on short flights by ('hristolfcrson,
and much interest has followed the up
learanre of the new craft.
Young Christoffcrson is making con
siderable money taking passengers for
short flights over the bay, for which
he cha'rges a large fee. A number of
society women have braved the ele
ments in this way and are during their
friends to follow their example.

cost of eight battleships built prior to
the puSHiige of the eight-hour law was
$1H3 a ton displacement, under the
new Inw the cost jumped to 1215 per

BONES LIKE STRAW
Young Kansas Girl Is a Victim of
a Strange Malady.
Slightest Jar or Movement Means a
. 'ractured Ankle, Thigh or Arms
to Margaret Williams of Me
dora Legs Have Bssn
Broken Seventy Times-
Hutchinson, Kan. The victim of a
rare disease of the bones, Margaret
Williams, the twelve-year-old daugh
ter of a wealthy farmer Urine near
Medora, has suffered seventy frac
tures of the legs and more than a doc
en of the arms. Kver since she baa
been old enough to walk the bones of
her legs and arms hare snapped at
the slightest jsr or quick movement.
Her legs and arms are gnarled from
the numerous fractures.
Physicians who have treated the
girl say ber bones lack some element.
iney are sort and spongy. Her leg
bones are not strong enough to sup
port ber aud the least Jar or shock
results In a fracture.
When she was barely two years old,
just beginning to walk, ber leg bones
first broke. Her parents believed she
had fallen too heavily. Later, as she
was growing, every now and then a
bone would break. Sometimes It was
the shin, more frequently the thigh,
and occasionally a bone of the foot.
Fortunately for the girl, she did not
suffer as much pain from these frac
tures ss do others under normal con
dttlons, but as she grew older the
fractures became more painful and
sne suffered greatly, it was neces
sary to treat the fractures the same
sa In other cases and the child spent
fully one half of her time lying help
less with her legs in splints.
Not only her legs, but her arms
were affected similarly. The arms
were not broken as often as the legs
however, as they did not bear her
weight. Hut every little Jar or push
with her hands meants a fractured
arm or wrist.
The parents of the girl say they do
not know how many times their
daughter's bones have been fractured.
They know of seventy times that her
legs have been broken, but they have
kept no count of the other breaks.
Margaret now rides in an arm wheel
chair. It Is dangerous for ber to
take a step. The last time her legs
were broken was about three months
sgo when she attempted to cross a
room. Doth legs gave way under the
weight of her body. That was almost
too much for the bone-broken little
girl, but now she Is cheerful again.
SCOTCH COLLIE HUSKS CORN
Farmer Owns Doer' Which, Standing
en Hind Legs, Tears Ear Off
With Teeth.
Stanberry. Mo H. P. Allen, a
farmer living near here. Is the owner
of a Scotch collie dog which he high
ly values because It Is a good corn
husker. The animal will go out In
the field with Allen's employes and
keep up with many of them in corn
husking.
When the season opened the dog
followed the wagon and with appar
ent Interest watched the process of
husking. Finally the animal ran to
one of the corn stalks and. standing
on his hind feet, pulled down the
stalk, grabbed the ear and broke It
off with his teeth.
' With teeth and forepaws he husked
the ear and then ran and yielded it
to. his master to be thrown Into the
wagon. Highly pleased with his first
efforts, the animal ran to another
stalk and repeated the operation again
and again.
The dog is a year and a half old
and this season Allen claims he has
husked hundreds of bushels of corn.
Only one trouble has arisen: the
animal's claws are beginning to wear
down from the husking and Allen Is
considering fastening some kind of a
husking peg on his front feet so the
animal can husk the corn and not
wear down his claws.
New Nose From a Rib.
St. Louis, Mo. James Wilson of
this city has ordered a new nose. The
requisition was put In at the city hos
pital, where Wilson Is a patient, and
was honored by Wilson himself. This
was so because tho material for the
nose Is to come from one of Wilson's
ribs.
"It's a question of having plenty of
ribs, as it mere and not enough nose.'
said the philosophical patient "
think I can get along without part of
them. Adam gave up an entire rib
when he wanted a wife."
Wilson's nose was injured eighteen
months ago.
