Mrs. Henry Rathbum, who died at her home near Traver recently, was the only woman who survived the Sioux Indian raid in Decatur county in 1876, says the Oberlin, Kan., correspondent of the New York Sun. Her husband was a scout with Lleu * nf the 11th IClICllll AU91111 UVII1V/I v* ?MW ? ? ? United States Infantry. In October, 1876, a band of Sioux Indians returning from the Indian Territory to their former homes in the Black Hills country, crossed western Kansas under fire of Federal troops. In their flight through Decatur county, and not far from the Nebraska line, they stopped long enough in the valley of the Sappa river to wreak vengeance on the white people who had pushed their settlements into that remote region. Mrs. Rathburn heard the shots from the Indian guns when a mile away, and by the aid of a fleet pony escaped to safety five miles down the Sappa river. Soon after the raid the Sioux pitched their camp in a semi-circle valley beneath the bluffs which fringe the Sappa river. Lieutenant Henley attacked them there and in his report of the fight said: "Nineteen dead warriors were counted; eight squaws and children were unavoidably killed by shots Intended for the warriora" White men who visited the scene two days later counted forty bodies of men, women and children lying promiscuously around the burned remains of their camp. But one Indian made his escape. A young Indian without a family in " stlriAr nn? made toe Uitiup, auu auviuo v.uv. a dash for their lives up the long slooplng hill to the north. When a mile or more away from the scene of the battle, the Indian with a family said to the other: "You axe safe now, go on. I am going back to die with my family." He wheeled his pony and rode back In the valley to his death. The Cheyennes and Sioux still continue to sing the praises of the man who rode back to "die with his family." Lieutenant Henley was drowned In Arisona while on duty a few months later. In connection with his death that incident is related. When he arrived at Fort Lyon, near the home of John Prower, the pioneer cattleman of the upper Arkansas, he had among his effects some of the ornaments and jewels captured in the Sappa river fight. Some of these had been worn by the medicine men of the party and when Mrs. Prower, who was a full blooded Cheyenne, saw them she began a crooning and mourning * that lasted three days. "The man who is responsible for the death of the medicine man will die within a year," she said, and her prediction was verified. ITO AND THE MARINES. Thirst For Information of Japan's Assassinated Statesman. The Marquis Itu, who was recently assassinated by a Corean, was always eager to acquire information about western civilization. During his four terms as prime minister of Japan his country residence at Oiso, near Tokio, was at all times open to the foreigner, and his ready command of six languages gave him many opportunities of pumping his "barbarian" visitors. Two American marines on shore leave several years ago were doing Tokio, and the course of a walking trip took them into the suburbs. Stopping to rest under a tree, they IA WITH nuvm HIC SATDRI We will sell t LOTS, well located, This will give home very reasonable pri< If you are loot fered than this. Hie out in the future.

This Sale W Chest lighted their pipes and were surveying the passing coolies and rickshaws with lazy interest when an open carriage. with outriders and other evidences of Japanese opulence, came along the road. Seeing a Jolly looking, bewhiskered Japanese sitting alone in the vehicle, they saluted in military fashion and smiled back at him. Suddenly the carriage stopped and the occupant beckoned the marines to approach. "If you are travelling my way, there is room in my carriage for three," said the* bewhiskered Japanese in English. The Americans shook the ashes from their pipes, stiffened into dignity, and marched, into the seat offered them with all the aplomb of experienced globe trotters. Then followed a catechising such as they never underwent before. In the language of nn(i of them: "The old guy asked us all we knew about civilization down to who killed Billy Patterson, and he pumped us as dry as a battleship three months in dry dock. He was a wise nut all right, and a good judge of a cigar. "He was especially interested in the service and his questions upon the treatment of men and chances for promotion in the United States Marine Corps showed knowledge of foreign military and naval affairs. "Now," he remarked as the carriage turned into a private driveway, "this is where I live, and as I have an engagement on hand I will have to part company. You can have my carriage for the ride to Tokio. I've had an instructive half hour with you and I appreciate your forbearance In submitting to so long a cross-examination. Good-by and good luck to you both." With these words the Japanese handed two cards to the marines, shook hands, got out of the vehicle and disappeared behind a party of bowing servitors while the carriage started for Tokio.

In English script upon the card were two lines of print which read: "Marquis Hirobuml Ito; G. C. B. Prime Minister of Japan." A Bit of Slang History. Captain Henry G. Lyon, U. S. A., was the Innocent cause of the now popular expression about "making a noise like" this or that, says the Army and Navy Journal. At Peekskill, in 1906, he gave instruction to officers of the New York National Guard doing duty in that tour of the camp. The first day he formed the officers into a class In the big mess hall, which was open at the sides, so that all that went on Inside was seen and heard by the enlisted men passing back and forth. In teaching the officers how to give the commands, Capt. Lyon Impressed upon the class the necessity of clear enunciation and of making commands like an officer, say,,nmna " oto The nH 1115 AlillO, "VI UiU^/O, V%V* A tiv J/?* vates' capacity for turning things to their own amusement was shown a few minutes after that first class was dismissed, for officers going through their company streets heard privates In front of a group of men shouting out: "Make a noise like an officer," whereupon the entire "class" would roar "umps." A reporter sent an account to a New York paper, and from this grew expressions such as "Make a noise like a hoop and roll away," etc. However, It Is seldom one hears the word "arms" or "march," the voice finding It much easier to slur the word till it may mean anything, and as the preparatory command indicates what is to be done, the command following is merely a signal for the execution of what has already been specified. fsS 1KORY C uv ncr mi, uiw o the Highest Bidden , at this place.
