Story of How Two Women Struggled
'or Its Poascsalon.
The tiny little Infant who reposed
In the Incubator at the St. Louis Fair
has, since the close of thut exposition,
attracted more attention than It did
during the eutlre time that It waa the
object of interest of the sightseers.
At the clone of tho Exposition, two
vomen sought possession of tho child,
each claiming It to be ber own. Each
secured a writ giving her tho custody
of the child through decrees of differ
ent courts, but Mrs. Dleakley, who had
at first been awarded the care of tho
Infant through tho ruling of tho law
at Mollno, Illinois, took tho law into
her own hands when tho court at Law
rence, Kansas, decided against her.
According to his own story, Senator
Fred D. Smith, of Kinsley, played an
important role in tho caso when tho
mother of the "Incubator baby" re
cently disappeared suddenly with the
baby from Lawrence.
m "When Mrs. Dleakley left tho court
room at Lawrence after the decision
against her," ho stated, "and returned
to bor mother's houso Bhe waa noarly
frantic. In mere desperation sho
fled from the back door and sought
refuge in a college fraternity house
nearby and begged the boys to help
her. It was then nearly G o'clock, and
the parents of one or the boys, a red
headed frat. youngster, were expect
ed to bo on Santa Fo train No. 6 en
route to Kansas City, and this boy
had a hack In readiness to drive him
to the train. The boys promptly raised
Hurse ol fSG to Set come clothes for
Mra. Mlcakeley and tho ba.iT, bundled
her Into the back, and took h-r to the
Bantu Ke train. They were romiwlled
to wait a few mlnulea, and while they
Nat In the back JinIkb Kmart, who had
awnrded the baby to the other woman,
liftHxed It on tila way to the Ottawa
train.
"When the train ramo In Mrs. Dleake
ley vtaa jilaed on the I'ullman with
out attrnctlnir any attention and put In
rhnrgo of the frat. boy's parenta.
"Tho parenta were simply ordered to
nee Mra. Uleakcley through Karma City
safely, and, like Rood modern parents,
they obeyed.
"The dimctilty lay In the Union depot
at Kunxan City, where It waa expected
a detention telegram would be await
Inic them. The Sheriff of one of the
lariat coiintlen In llllnol. J. H, Jtay,
Wllla county, wan on the train, a man
as blc In proMrtlon as his own rounty,
dig of body and IIk of heart. He made
tho aeqiiuliitanee of the father of the
frat. boy, and In bis dilemma tie lat
across from the Santa Fe to the Hock
Island train, which might be late, with
out observation. The Sheriff prompt
ly overruled that plan and It was
agreed that Mrs. Illeakeley should re
main In the I'ullman drawing room
while In Kansas City, and go through!
to tho Sheriff's homo town, where he!
would put her on tho train for Moline.
As a precaution the Sheriff added
'Mrs.' In front of the name on a bench
warrant with which ho had been on a
fruitless errand to Colorado, and placed
Mrs. Illeakeley under arrest, techni
cally at least.
"When the train reached Kansas City
tho frat. boy's father went out and
bought a nursing bottle and hot milk
and other necessaries for the baby,
which had been left behind in the
hurry of depnrture, while tho Sheriff
stood guard at the door of the draw
ing room, a massive and satisfying pro
tector. "No one appeared, and the woman
and baby went on without hindrance.
She stopped one night at the Sheriff's
home, eared for by his wife, and on
Saturday wns In Mollne. under tho pro
tection of that court's decree.
"Tho whole thing waa ludicrously
simple, and yet was woven of some cu
rious coincidences, each helping to
carry through the escape and each play
ing its unpremeditated but important
part In the final success."

at w. n, woortsa.
About fifty miles north, of the Dig
Horn Mountains, and forty miles south
from the Yellowstone River, In south
eastern Montana, live the tribe of fear
less Northern Cheyenne Indians. A
faw decades ago they ranged the great
plains, following the buffalo, but are
now attached to the Tongue Klver
Agency.
The men are tall, well-built, brave;
and their women are proverbially
chaste. With the disappearance of the
game and the decadence of lnter-trlbal
warring, the young braves have had
little or no opportunity to show their
prowess.
In the summer of 1830, two young
menHead Chief and Young Mule
who bad failed to find favor with the
maidens ef their choice, took to the
war path to win distinction and wlvea
A moon! and the disappointed lovers,
wearing their eagle feathers red
tipped, as warriors do, were again at
home.
Humors of their return soon reached
their Agent, who recalled that a wblte
herder living near the reservation had
been missing from his home for nearly
a month.
The Murder of a Sheep Herder.
Tie returned braves were questloo
4. They openly admitted going on
the war-path and killing the herder. A
detachment of the two troops of caval
ry stationed at the Agency, assisted by
some Northern Cheyennes, made
search for the body. It was found on
the evening of September 9, and had
been scalped.
Fearing trouble, three additional
troops were hurriedly sent from Fort
Keogh, Montana, and the Agent called
a council of the chiefs and head-men,
demanding that they arrest and de
liver the murderers.
Two Moons, the war chief, battle-
scarred and old, pleaded for the young
braves, offering a ransom of thirty
ponies for the dead herder. This was
declined. Chief Amelcan Horse then
arose and said his warriors would
fight If the soldiers attempted to take
the young braves alive; and that their
final message was:
"Select the place of meeting, and we
will come and die In your sight, fight
ing the soldiers."
The council was dismissed, and the
Indians returned In the evening to
their lodges in the hills south ot. the
Agency.
Twilight fell. Soon a flaming arrow
blazed like a rocket in the southern
sky. And far to the north, signal fires
were seen.
Catherine of the Warriors.
All night armed warriors, hideously
painted, hurried to the circle of hills i
commanding the Agency, while lights
burned late In the valley below, where
tbe agency officers were consulting.
In the crimson dawn, watching war-i
riors saw a mounted Indian police
leave the Agency and take his way
southward along the misty mountain
trail. It was the decision for peace or
for war. As the first rays of the sun
gilded the Indians' tepees, he drew
rein and dismounted at the lodge of
American Horse, The challenge of the
two braves to fight the soldiers had
been accepted to fight at the Agency
at set of sun.
Directly runners were off to inter
cept the fleeing squaws and children.
The warriors clamored for a fight witii
the troops but the chief refused. The
council, ho said, had spoken, with
straight, not crooked, tongues.
Slowly the chill September morning
warmed to amythest afternoon. An
eagle wheeled high above the hills,
which formed an ampi theatre. In the
center, or arena, were the Agency
buildings and the troops. As the
shadows crept out In the valley, the
spectators warriors old and young,
and squaws with papooses and children
began taking their places on the
circle of hills. They would see the
fight
rWlth Hearts of Iron.
Forth from their refuge In the Welf
Mountains, rode Head Chief and Toung
Mule, painted and armed for war. Un
guarded they rode. Still was there time
to escape, but the pride of their race,
held them. They went on.
Five miles to the north lay the peace,
ful valley, and the arena with its
massed five hundred guns. The trail
wound in and out among the hills.
Leaves were falling, and here and
there were bright red splotches of foli
age. Overhead they noticed a flock of
birds winging southward. They
thought of the maidens they loved; of
the war-path; of the feathers tipped
with blood, and their faces darkened.
Silently they held their way north
ward. Soon was reached tho crest of
a high spur. They turned their ponies
to the west and drew rein. The sun
was almost down. For an Instant they
gazed; then pointed to the earth, and
raised their arms In supplication to
the Great Spirit wheeling, they head
ed east at a gallop.
Presently they pass some warriors
who promptly signal their approach to
the waiting Indian spectators. Now
they gallop to the very crest of a high
hill, perhaps five hundred yards west
of the Agency buildings. There they
stop In full view of the soldiers.
A bugle sounds. The troopers mount
and move to a dry creek-bed about fifty
yards from the Agency. They take
position in tbe form of a crescent, and
sit with loaded carbines u&slung,
waiting.
At the top of the long steep hill In
their front, silhouetted against the
flaming sky, sit the two slender braves
on their ponies. Cooly they lash them
selveg to their saddles. Raising their
rlrV high above their heads, they
shake them at the troops and begin a
shrill song of defiance. Suddenly they
fire at the Agency. Their signal!
Into the Jaws of Death.
A bugle blows. In an Instant they
launch their ponies, straight as arrow
from the bow, at tbe center of the cres
cent of soldiers. Down the hill they
eime, full charge, shouting the savage
Cheyenne war-cry and firing as they
ride.
A bugle blast! and a withering volley
blazes forth from five hundred guns.
Still the ringing war yell. Ou through
the smoke they come, apparently un
scathed, working their rifles like inad,

They seem to spring to meet the sec

Into and through the columns of
shrinking horses and men ia blue they
burst like devils Incarnate. Some of
the horses reel and go down with the
troopers. But instantly the cavalrymen
whirl and give the 6waylng flying
braves another deadly volley at close
range.
Head Chief reels frightfully In bis
saddle. His pony goes down with a
sickening thud, riddled by a dozen
balls, not twenty feet from the cres
cent line. Young Mule convulsively
throws his arms In the air and lurches
backwards. Again the merciless volley,
and he collapses. Hl3 pony plunges!
headlong. Dead! Stone-dead they lie,
still lashed to the bodies of their
twitching ponies.
Again the bugle calls. The fight Is
ever. Squaws begin their walling.
Their young braves have died fighting.

A very comprehensive bill has been
Introduced In the House of Representa
tives by Congressman Steenerson of
Minnesota, who, If he can push his
measure to enactment into a law, will
be deserving of the praise of not only
this but future generations. His bill
is a practical extension of the old
homestead idea, or rather, perhaps, an
application, to the vast areas of our
swamp lands, of the Idea embodied In
the national irrigation law.
There are in the neighborhood of
100 million acres of swamp lands in
the United States, some 70 million of
which have been surveyed, the great
bulk of which would make splendid
farms, If the excess of water were
drained off.
The Steenerson bill provides for the
beginning of the work of reclamation
of these huge areas. The measure is
framed after the Irrigation law; It pro
vides that the receipts from the sales
of public lands in the non-irrigation
states shall constitute a "drainage
fund" to be expended by the Govern
ment In great drainage works, and
further, that the cost of such drainage,

Would Create Thousands f Homes
This plan of developing the internal
resources of the country and making
homes of waste places, is splendid In
Its scope, and appears to be entirely
practicable and profitable. Take for
instanoe, tbe single example of the
swamp lands of tbe Kankakee River
basin in Indiana and Illinois. Here
are some 400 thousand acres of the
very richest of bottom lands, but sub
ject to overflow. They are worthless
except where they have been reclaims
through expensive private drainage
works, when they have become worth
8100. and 8150. an acre. Yet it Is es
timated by the government surveyors
and engineers that the entire system
could be effectively drained at a cost
In the neighborhood of 810. an acre.
The same can be said of the lands of
the Red River Valley In Minnesota.
These Include the finest grain and
farm lands in the northwest except
that they are frequently overflowed. It
would be worth millions of dollars to
the farmers and settlers, who would
occupy these lands In small tracts, to
have a perfect system of drainage pro
vided. These extensive systems, how
ever, especially where they are inter
state, seem to be feasible for handling
only by the general government
The Steenerson bill places the en
tire management of the work in the
Reclamation Service and the plan of
operation follows very closely the Ir
rigation work now being done by that
branch of the Interior Department
Government lands, ceded Indian lands
and private lands may be included in
any drainage project but In each case
the cost of the drainage improvement
Is to be borne by the owner of the
land and no settler can have drainage
provided for more than 160 acres, thus
insuring the division of the tracts Into
small farms which must be actually,
settled upon and tilled.
Drainage Work Already In Progress
This work the Reclamation Service
Is qualified to do at this very moment.
While primarily an engineering bureau
It has, in all Its great Irrigation pro
jects, to deal directly with the farmer.
It must outline a comprehensive drain
