ABSOLUTEUlt" PURE
OOSYS1QMT BY AMERICAN POESS AS800IATION, 1009
Then tbey swanneo ont of tne ravines
the warriors of Iron Heart, of Jled
Eagle, of Black Crowthree hundred
strong, and mounting their wiry ponies,
which had lain as close as rabbits, they
swarmed out and over the plains and
gave yent. to their disgust and indigna
tion. i Had they charged en masse the little
band of white men" must have been
swept away by the momentum, but they
delayed and every moment saw the
.breastworks . strengthened by another
bowlder. The Indian mast feint and
dodge before he strilifls.. In that char
acteristic he is below the serpent. He
must consult and powwow before he ad
vances. This is to brace bam up.
" More than half an hour was consumed
in' demonstrations of bluff before the In
dians were ready to act. Then it was
to advance his natural weapon first
treachery. A white man some rene
gade and criminal who feared even the
mixed society of the west and had gone
over to the enemies of his race Wily and
loul advanced with a white flifgtied to
a stick as a flag of truce. He advanced
boldly and impudently, but when within
pistol shot of the breastworks was halted
by the captain and asked what he wanted.
"See hyar, I feel Borry fur you folks,"
he said in reply. "And 1 hev cum to
help ye out of a bad scrape. ' Thar's reds
'nuff yere to chaw ye up in five minits,
and twice as many more will be yere at
uindown. TUey know wnar ye ar
oound fur, and they ar detyiuined to
Itopye." -
"Well, what else?' asked the captain
M the renegade paused.
' "They wanted to wipe ye ont to the
last man, but I've prevailed upon 'em to
spare ye in case ye'll turn back. That's
what I've come to tell ye."
"If we turn back we won't be
barmedr; '
"Not a hair of yer heads. , Jist take
the back track and thotlll end the mat
ter at once."
"And suppose we don't?"
"Then God help ye! Ye'H be chawed
to pieces in ten minits!"
"Yon go back and tell your friends to
begin chawing as 6oon as they please!"
shomed the captain, and every man in
the inclosure cheered the words. ; t '
There was more delay us the renegade
went back to report, and every men
worked U build the breastworks higher1
and strengthen it. Wagons and horsos
occupied a Bolid square of less than half
an acre. It was the highest ground
Within cannon shot. This was as good
as another foot on the height of the
breastworks. ' Twenty-five men distrib
uted around that inclosure would make
a terribly thin line, but twenty-five
Winchester rifles would maintain a ter
ribly destructive fire.
. But treachery had not yet exhausted
itself. . Your noble red man of Cooper
eulogy depends upon that even when at
tacking - women and children. Back
came the renegade to say:
"Ye better take the chance 1 hold out
to ye. The Indians bev got mad, and
nothin but yer promise and tbe quick
performance of it will save yer scalps. '
If a gun ia tired i can't hold 'em a
uiinit."
"If we turn back we will not be mo
lested?" queried the captain.
"Not a red shall cum nigh ye."
"But we have only your word for it."
"Which orter be good 'nuff. I am
workin to save ye scalps."
"And you think the way to do it is to
turn us all over to them! Get buck, you
lying renegade-rget out of range or
we'll drop yon!" '
'.'The renegade beat a hasty retreat,
and a few minutes later the Indians dis
mounted, crept about the platean to
form a circle, and opened fire on the
breastworks from three hundred rifles.
They had waited too long for a rush,
but the little band was encircled.
' ' Wuterf Not a drop!
Forage! Wot an ouncel
Provisions! Yes, but they must be
eaten in a raw state.
The Indians had but to preserve their
circle of tire about the fort and nature
would do tlie rest. Mod may escape the
bullet, but thirxt kills.
And what of Joe and Bess? An soon
aa tlie Indians appeured on the flanks of
the train he had hidden her out of sight,
and he had hopes np to the opening of
the battle that she bad not been seen.
When he knew that danger was im
minent he did not conceal the fact from
her. Bhe grew a shade paler, but she
hut her teeth hard and threw off the
womanish feeliug which would hare
weakened her.
"We are to be attacked?" she queried
at the wagom were packed and the men
began at the breastworks.
"It looks that way," replied Joe, "but
it may be only bluster. You had beet
keep out of sight."
"But every one of us will be wanted
to handle a firearm. I can shoot with
either rifle or revolver, bee i nave a
revolver. If there is danger 1 mast take
share with the rest,"
A moment later ber father cam np.
Ha looked verr anxious at be laid:
bwder
" Jly dunghter, I fear that our atMa
tion could not be worse. We have ten
to one in front of us and we shall pres
ently be attacked. You had better lie
down on the bottom of the wagon."
"1 should soon be helpless from fear,"
she replied. "Let me remain here be
hind the rocks. If they charge us I can
help repel them."
When the firing opened she-was kneel
ing between Joe and her father. Not a
return shot was fired from the inclosure.
Now and then a bullet found its way in
between the loosely piled rocks, but the
men had only to hug the ground to be
safe. As the Indians had to elevate
their guns at an angle of forty-five de
grees to fire, moat of the bullets passed
over, cutting the tops of the wagons, but
leaving the animals unharmed.
It was well for the band that an old
soldier had command. He took in th
lay of the ground, made up his mind
where the blow would fall and noti
fied every man to be ready for the sig
nal. The redskins would soon tire of
wasting their ammunition, and then the
more enthusiastic among them would
demand a charge.
An Indian is patient only when over
powered. He is brave enough to face
death only after he has worked himself
up to fury. The one sided battle the
yells, shots, screams and change of po
sitionshad their due effect. Half an
hour before sundown the young war
riors were clamorous to be led to the
charge. The white men had shown
their cowardice by withholding their
tire. It was a sign, too, that they were
short of cartridges. A rush from a
hundred warriors would carry the camp
and give up its plunder.
The renegade white man, whoever he
was, had some military ideas in his
head. He was seen hurrying from one
point to another to consult, and he se
leted the point to be advanced against.
Owing to (.he scarcity of material, the
north side of the inclosure was not as
high as the rest. The approach to this
side was not as steep. One of the dry
gullies ran pantljej to this side, and the
charging warriors would have only
three hundred feet of open ground to
cross.
When the red suu was hardly more
than a hand breadth above the plains the
firing suddenly ceased. The captain'
had been expecting it. He knew where
the charge was to come from. There 1
would be a feint on the south side to :
distract attention, but be left only three
men to resist it. All others were scat-;
tered along the north side, arranging
for a cross fire when possible, and they
were not stationed n moment too soon.
At the souml of a shrill warwboop ut
tered by Iron Heart, who was the rank
ing chief, a fusillade was opened against
the south hMb, and a hundred or more
warriors, the p:ck of all the force,
sprang out of the gully and dashed at
the north side. They expected to find it
unprepared.
Crack! Crack! Crack! One of the
very first tufted heads showing above
the bank received a bullet. Twenty-one
Winchesters flamed and roared at fast
as men could throw out tbe shells and
pull trigger.
A besom of death and destruction was
et loose. A wall of flume swept for
ward to scorch and shrivel.
The charge of a hundred men is a bat
tering ram a landslidti a groat wave.
It cannot tie staid at once. Its own
momentum carries it forward to a cer
tain point. The charge was a failure
from the outset, but the wave did not
Bow bock until a brawny redskin
reached the breastworks right in front of
Bess. It was only hip high to him, and
be was swinging his tomahawk for a
blow at her when a bullet from her re
volver, held aloft, entered his throat and
threw him backward to die after a brief
struggle.
It was all over in five minutes. It had
been a desperate charge at the weakest
point and twenty-three warriors lay
dead on the slope, while a dozen more,
more or less seriously wounded, crawled
away to secure shelter.
Then the great red sun touched the
plains with his golden rim, sunk silently
into the sterile ground, and twilight
came to make shadows race about
among the dead dead but hideous
corpses in the war paint as they lay with
legs drawn up and eyes staring into the
darkening heavens.
CHAPTER IV,
"Now, then, Ond tpecl ynut"
It the noise of the battle is deafening,
the silence which follows i oppressive.
There is more menace in silence when
peril threatens than in the roar of can
non. As night ahnt down over the i!e
gnered white men on tho little plateau
few boasted and exulted over hemic
cessful defense, but the greater yortim'
were silent and anxious.

ivoulrt have Bulled us muob better to
nave eularged uur lactones in Paisley

tint wh iiiikIiI become Amenoaus anil
bare iu the iieuerul prosperity of this
great country.
Uu.iei ine rioteotive lariff we have
ieeu able to make a suooess uf our busi

mrgely to the size ol our plant. We onn
aaert that the MuKiuley bill has bud

I'd IikUk aa a guarantee to us that if
we invest our money over here in manti

nru iu full operation we shall employ
irntu UUUto 1UUU bauds.
It may be interesting for you to know
now tbe wages we pay here compare
villi the waxes e pay m our factories
iu Paisley, Scotland.
To begiu with, our spinners here re
ceive weekly from 815 to $18. We do
not do any spiuuiug in Paisley, but
i here are ven few raeu employed iu our
works over there who make more than
3(1 sliill ngs (S7.3U) a week. hich is con
Mderubiy less thau huh Ihe wageHeartied
by men here.
Tbe girls employed in our Paisley millx
are makiug an extra large wage when
tbey earn 15 shillings per week, which is
3.65 Auierioau money. In our mills
uere they reneive from $0 50 tn $7.50.
aud some of them as muob as $8 per
week.
Iu one department namely, that ol
twiatiuK -the ftiisley operatives get IU
xbilliuge ($2.43) standing wages. Here
in Fall Kiver e pu girls fur attending
10 a less number of spindles $7.50 per
week, aud in some instances we employ
oungmeu, who attend to a greater
number of spindles than tbe women do,
and tbey receive $10 per week.
It is tbe Turiff, and the Tariff only,
'hat eunbles us to pay 'he wages we do
111 Fall Kiver, and should the same be
i.ikeu oft thread and cotton yarns, we
would have to do one uf two things we
ivould either have to arrange with oar
operatives here to pay tbetn at tb same
rate of wages as we pay iu Paisley, or
" would be compelled to close our
mills in Fall River till Btiob a lime na
tbe Amenoau operatives could tee their
way to aoaept the truly-named pauper
waives of Europe.
Had tbe Alula bill ever beoome Ameri
cau law, and tbe same endorsed by the
great Amenoan people at tbe pulls, tbe
Keer Thread Company would have re
mained as they at that time were no
Arnerloao corporation in name only,
with their factories and headquarters at
Paisley, Scotland, instead of tbe same
oeing at Fall Kiver, Mass., 0. S. A.
Tbe photographs we shall tend you
of our mills show the present part whiuh
is in operation, and also tbe extensions,
bich are not quite completed.
Yours very truly,

The Tickets For Next Tuesday's Election
tansies lluth Cuiuoient.
There ie a great deal of ooutrovorey
over the printing of tickets to be voted
next Tuesday. Elsewhere in this issue
will be teen afac simile ot the ticket to
be voted in Wells Springs precinct
wbicb, tbe readers will readily peroeive,
will not differ materially from the ticket
voted elsewhere in the county. It wil
be noticed that tbe name of Nathan
Pieroe appears twice, both as a people's
pirty and democratic elector. This ia
where the controversy arises, some cou
tending that his name as a peonle'H-
demuoratio elector should nnnear hut
once, inasmuch as the democrats have
but three eleotors, the fourth beinir an
eleotor already in the field, which they
have endorsed, and therefore it printed

uce by virtue of beiug properly tiled aa
ntoh elector in the offioe of the secretary
f state. The law ou the subject read!
s follows: "Tbe name of eaon person
lominated shall be printed on tbe ballot
n but one place." Thte would seem
conclusive, yet there are many that And
iw enough to sustain, in their opinion,
ie double printing.
County Clerk Morrow has gfven the
miter considerable thought and be
eves houestly and without any party
icjudice, he says, that tbe name of Na
uau Pieroe should appear twioe on the
loket to be voted.

Mae, asking bis opinion on this subject.

I The Oiegouian says looally iu lis issue
of the 28ih tilt, under the caption of "A

"All tbe ootiuty clerks are at sea as to
liow Nttthuu Pieiue'a unie should be lo
cated on the ballot, aud tbe legal profes
sion is dividid on the question Yester
day the secretary of slate uuiitied all the
county clerks by telegraph of the Pieroe
substitution, but he gave them no iu
etrKOtious aa to whether Pieroe's name
should be printed iu bulb the populiBt

negiu priming the ballots arrived ytg'er
day, the uaniv ot the populist-democratic
candidate will appear in different w)t
iu different couutite, and there- will be
confusion at the polls among people who
desire to vote lor him.

Theu the telegram in its issue of tame
date says:
"1'be 'proofs' or specimen sheets of tbe
bullota tor the oonuug eleotion have been
received from toe printera by Couuly
Clem T C. Powell, wuo will revise them
aud seud 1 hem bauk tor correotiou, utter

"Oierk Powell and Dan J. Murphy,
ohuiruiuu ot the democratic ttate oeutral
commute, were ligming today ou the
plan for re arranging the ticket to eon
fiirm to the ohange caused by Ibe with
drawal ot Colonel Hubert A. Miller, dem
ocratic uouiiuee for preeideutiul elector.

leceived here lrom the seoretar) of stute,
out is expected aouu to arrive. The bal

uauie 111 tbe people's party oolumu, as
well aa under ibe democratic head this
is Mr. ilurpiij't idea, nud It has been
-iisiniued by Atioruey-OeueralChamber-luiu.
"1'bis ohange is causing some of the
repub.ioau leaders, as well as the g o. p.
organs, not a little worriment. They ar
gue that Mr. Pierce's name must appear
ninlcr three separate aud distiuut head
ings democratio, people's party and
democrat lo-people's. Chairman Murphy
says that there can be uo such head at
'dnmooratio-people'a,' Unless a Compute
lusiou is accomplished. There are but
four headings, aud they are: Democratic,
republican, people's aud prohibition."
TheSuuduy Oregouiun eas: "Wheth
er it results iu bia defeat or bis eleoiion,
the bsllotB for Nathan Pieroe will be
followed by a ootitent. If he tails to
receive tutUuieut voles to seat him iu the
elebtunal oullege the democratio state
oeutral anmiuittee will appeal to tbe
oauvuHaiug board to oouut bun in, and
if the returns from tbe polls should
give bim the number ot votes necessary
to elect, similar action will he tukeu by
the manager of the republican Oi.mpaign.
In either case the ground of con lent will
be illegality iu the form of certain bal
lots" Multnomah's tickets will have printed
ou them only three' democratic electors,
but Nathan Pierce will huve after bis
name ".eo.-Dem." The republican
county olerks will follow substantially
this form, while the olerks uf tbe demo
cratio persuasion will adopt the style
which appears elsewhere in this issue.
As the Oregonian suggests it will end
in a contest, let the eleotion go as it may.
