The trouble began when a party of cowboys demanded the surrender of one of the braves, whom they accused of horse stealing. The state troops were called out; several were killed and woniftled on both sides; the Indians were routed and followed for some distance, when they were re inforced and a bloody battle took place.

Her nose was elevated at an angle of forty-five degrees and her head was swaying to and fro in bovine dis tress. . “Thunderation!” ejaculated the as tonished farmer, as the truth suddenly dawned upon him. “Mother, it’s old Brimlle, and I’ve filled her chock full o’ shot,” he continued, as he unlocked the terribly shattered door and stepped out into the cool air.

Inexpensive and lleeouitng Oowu* For the Hot !>*/«. The charming organdies and light lawns make tbe most deliciously cuol dresvs, and arc highly appreciated on mid-summer days. They arc inexpen sive ami almost universally becoming. The},' nre made in various simple ways, among the prettiest licing plain skirts with rows of tucks. A charming idea is wide tucks, on the edge of which is narrow lace which just covers the space to the next tuek below. This makes a novel and dressy finish. Plain, straight ruffles gathered on to a cord are liked for such materials. Any quantity of luce and ribUnis are used for making up these poods. Waists nre usually made over a lining.. One of the simplest and easiest ways of doing this is to buy a well fitted corset cover and use if for a lining. If neceasary, bone casings may be sewed inside, and, if desired, the body can bo cutoff at the waist-line and sewed to the skirt This will be found much more convenient as noth ing is more awkward or unpleasant than for tfne'fl garments to fall apart at the waist-line.
