"Talking of bal Indians , thc ones that
make most trouble are not the old warriors , "
said the veteran plains freighter to the New
York Situ "Thcso have male their reputa-
ton and got wives and ponies , and have little '
to gain and much to lose by going on the
warpath against the whites . With the young
buck the case Is different. lie wants plunder
for / start In life , antI . , more than that , he
wishes to lall a name for himself In his
tribe So he Is always ready 10 start llst-
Ites , and will take desperate risks to capture
scalpS or horses.
"ThIs brings me to an attack by Indians
upon a freighting train , made up of wagons
drawn by six-mule teams , that was traveling
In company with mine from Kansas City to
Denvcr In the early 60s. I was done In
such a way and was so UnXllectel as to be
almost laughable , although I cost the outfIt
eighteen geed mules , sOle freight and a good
deal of bother In repairing damages and get-
ting straight ngaln.
"At that time the Indians were at peace
with the whites , so no trouble was looked for
frcm them 'Vo had come to n deep prairie
ravIne , with a good-size stream flowing
along the bottom of it. My train was In the
load and had got across the gulch to the high
prlrlo beyond , while the last wagon of the
other outfit wan In the bottom . just puling
out of the stream. ,
"We Iwdn't seen an Indian or a sign of
one for weeks and as they were supposed
to bo friendly , nobody was keeping very much
of a lookout. There came a tremendous yel-
InC that made every man In thc rear train
Jump , and round a bend In tim bank , 150
yards up thin creek , came about twenty-th'e
young buckl In war paint , whooping and
shaking blankets to stampede the mules o
they role their ponies on the lead run for
the rear wagons. Tim rear most teamsters
Jumped to the ground and ran for the head
of the train The Indians pall no attention
to them , but went for the last three wagons.
While an Indian jumped to the scat of each
and caught the reIns and whip , others seized
the mule' ' brIdles and helped turn them
down the creek Before the teamsters ahead
could fairly realize what was going on the
Indians had run the mules and wagons Into
the water a short distance below While
11me of them unharnessed or cut loose the
mules others overhauled the freight , taking
whatever struck their fancy.
" 'hore was no escort along and but few
extra men , so , of course , the first thing to
do was to get the other wagons out of the
ravine as son as possible. Dy that time toe
Indians . had plundered the Captured wagons ,
and , driving the mules ahead or them , were
oft , out of the gulch and across the prairie ,
sao from any pursuit that wo could make.
'ho teamsters sent a shot or two after them ,
but ecuton were , too badly ratted to 10 any lX'
"When I saw by signals that there was
trouble In the rear I formed my wagons In
a circle , and sent all my spare men to help
the other out. All the help we could give ,
however , was to lend a hand In getting the
wagons out of the creell-one of them was
upset-and In puling them out of the gulch.
There they had to bo abandoned ! , together
with lS much of their freight as the Indians
hall left , until wo could get to a staten where
more mules could bo bought to send back
senl
to haul them In. This delayed the train for
a week , while I . kept on , and the Denver
frm to which my goods were consigned held
time market at their own prices durIng that
time ,
'Ve never got any trace of tIme robber
Indians or their plunder. All that could ho
known about them was tIme report of the
badly scared teamsters who saw them. By
that we knew that they were Cheyennes , and
very young bucks , some of them being boys
not than 15 ' old. "

I cannot say "Chrlstmas dawned"-as ,
Christmas storlC usually begin , for wo had '
not seen the sun for two mcnlhs. I was
the 24h lIar of October , at hIgh noon , when
we last looked upon oh Sol's smiling face ,
and then he only bobbed up over South Point
for a few moments , filled our little bay with
his golden light , nodded a frIendly good-nlghl
ali went tooth for the wInter.
From that late tIme twilight of mIdday
grew dlmmcr and dimmer , the hours of its
duration ] less and less , until unchanging
darkness . enwrapped tie during tIme entire
twent.four hours On Iecelb r 21 the Bun
had reached the southern limit of his wanderIngs -
Ings and was just on the point of coining
north again , B that wo were making our
Christmas preparations at "tho witching hour
of midnight , " and that the midnight of the
Arctic imlghmt
The bay had been frozen over lor nearly
two months , and numerous snowstorms had
thrown over the dark rocks and new bay Ice
a fleecy covering , which reflected back the
meager light of the stars or gave additional
brilliancy to the Arctic mmmociiighit.
Every alternate fortnIght the moon circled
around the heavens gradually lengthenIng her
stay In time sky until for eight or ten days
she never went below the horizon at all ,
though regularly retring behind the moun-
talus which surrounded . us on three sides.
Then just as grdualy she shortened our
alowance of light until for eight or ten days
she left us altogether and only the stars cave

The ecemb2r moon was with us nt Christ-
milan tlimme , all as early as the 18th of the
month Mr. Peary hall taken advantage of the
light , amid had gone with Entrldn , Carr and
SwaIn to Jongarllullsoh , tlmirty-flve mies
way , for a load of dog food. lie took a
through traIn-two sledges and thlrty.lve
dogs-am was home again the next day.
The day folowing AstrulI and Lee went to
'I amall , twenty-five mies distant , to bring
In more material for the dos' Christmas
dinner , while on the 21st Entrldn amid Carr
went to Jonlardluksoah to try the experiment
of midwinter deer shooting by moonlight .
Dy the 23d everyone bat returned from the ,
various trips and was given two days rest , I
GO as to be In god condition for the athletic
sports which were to come oft on Christmas
day.Our
Our larders were now well filled. In the
cverel , passageway which ran entirely arount
the house hung a dozen reindeer and bunches
of delicious salmon trout fresh from the
mcuntaln lake back of Kongarllultsoah , where
they had falen victims 10 the persistent pa-
lence ! and unerring skill of the EskImo ! , who
speared them through holes cut In the ice.
Some of the trout weIghed between four and I
five pounds and were gladly welcomed to our
larder as something that did not come out
of I tin can.
The cache or storehouse for dog food
groaned-as did every one who hd to enter
It-under the weight of over 1,000 pounds of
the met of walrus which we had killed ] the
previous August.
So , feelng asmred that that most Important
part of Christmas festivities-a got dinner
-ould be provided , instinctively my thoughts
turned toward decorations. How I longed for
the holy branches with their red berries , for
the festoons of crow foot and the aromatc
boughs of pine , which are so suggestive of
Christmas cheer. But out of doors , was a
wilderness of whiteness ' , only time bold pre-
cipious brow of Mount Dartett , towered up
black and threatening , ani even that was
lined with white where the clnging snow-
fakes had round a resting place In the marks '
left , even on that rugged brow , by Father
Tlmc. I was confronted by a paralox-not

Turing from the wildow wIth I sigh of
disapp. Intniemmt I overhauled my rathtr
scanty stock of finery and discovered some
pretty ribbons , with which I decorated the
photographs of our deal ones whIch hmummg
agaInst the wall. Next I took the stars and
stripes which had flown at time Falcon's
masthead and draped them against the wall.
The brilliant colrs seemed to light up the
room and give It a holiday appearance , which
waa highly encouraging to "tho Committee
on decoratons , " Thou . front their secure
resting place , I brought the veterans or the
previous campaign-the fags that had nude
the long journey ever the Ice Cup with Mr.
Peary two years before , and had flapped their

their foils wrInkled amid creased , their edges
frayed amid toni , but they reprtsented what
wo love to have about us at all timnes . aild
especially at ChrIstmas , that Is , ol friends.
I would have been dusk If I had imported
my Christmas eve fr.m New York before I
had fnished time decoratIng of the room. I
would have rung for lghts ! at home , but the
lights had bcn bUllng all lay and every

faithful , and their frIendliness has won
them a warm place In the hearts of all
those who come In contact with them.
With thIs wlhl escort wo now went down
to the bay , where the boys hall cleared away
the soft snow and had laM out the courses
snoanl
on time smooth Ice
Time moon wa still behind the eastern
mountains , leaving the bead of the bay tn
deep shallow , while town at the mouth , ten
miles 'way , wo saw the Ice of Inglefele
gul Ileamlng In the moonlight. The tops of
the western cliffs were already slvlrC by
the ativaimcing lght , but mill the eastern t : oe
was draped In the deepest black except \ here
the moonbeams like truant children hall outstripped -
stripped their sedate mother and were tobogganing -
bogganing clown the crevlcd surface of the
easter glacier and shootng far acroi the
bay , leaving behind them a broad stream of
light.
There were eleven events on the program ,
Including foot races , races on ski , races with
sledges anti llog teams , high JumpIng , broad
Jumping and hurdle racIng.
The contcstants stood about , mumed In
furs , stamping their feet to keep ! warm
until It was their turn to take part In an
event , and then they would strip oft their
great deerkln "koohetaims , " step Oh of their
enormous dogsldn overboots and take their
places on the scratch . , clad In woolen shirts
amid trousers and sealskin Ilamlks or boots .
The ofcial starter would say "get ready , "
then bang would go his pistol , and off would
.
go time racers. , , , ' . . .
I was n strange sIght to 1001 lown upon ,
thlro In the white light , on the Icebound
b : ) . . The smal group of fur-clat mortals ,
the Caucasians , moving about with restless
eagerness , peerhlg ahead 'to catch a glimpse
oC tIme dim forms In the diatammce whose rapidly .
Idly moving feet broke time silence with theIr
rhthmlcnl hatter ; the Esldmos , standing I :
stolid silence or 'hcusslng ' in their deep
gutur s the curious antics of that to thel
most curious animal the white man , as hl
jumpct about on the Ice , from time to time
tittering wild , unearthly yells-to the rIght 01
them the western cliffs gleaming now from
base to summit In the whie moonlght - - to
the left the steep slopes of the eastern
shore , up which time shadows were rapidly
stealng In their Ight before time advancIng
moon , which even now was peering over
the plateau to ascertain the cause of the
comnmotion-behmiiid them , Mount Bartlett's
rocky front , and nesting at its baSe thc
only house within a radius of lOO miles-bc-
fore them a great sheet of frosted silver , the
bay ice with the moonlght on it. .
To the Esldmos the mot amusing event
was the sledge race , for which there were
two entries. Time natives laughed good-
naturelly at the way the contestants handled
their teams , evidently fully aware that ther
was ono thing at least ntl which they could
beat the wonderful "kabloonahu" . ( whie
man ) . r [ - '
The llurdle race was closely contested , and
proved a most interesting event. In Its arrangement -
rangement It was probablY the most unique
feature of the program. ' For hurdles we hal
a product of the tropics--bammiboo poles-rest-
Ing on a product of the atics-plhlars of
snow-the whole lghted ! by' the lurid rays of
red sIgnal lamps , which were placed as a
warning to the runners vher to jump. :
Clarke and Carr got away together on time .
start , and moved like tuvo aitomatons oper-
ated by the same machine Sldo by side they
atel
sped away , sIde by side ' they took the hurdles -
dies one after another unt : It looked as If
the race would end In z1'dead , hat. There
were only three moro , lmiirts \ to leap , and
still the contestants were " sbouller to ahmoul-
sUI

Jump n fractIon of second before Carr , a'
the next he was lalf over as Carr left the
. ground , amid at the last ole be was clear of
time stick as Carr jumped , and wIth this
start In his favor reached the string I winner .
nor by three paces.
I left the boys playing tag between events
to keep warm and went UI ! to the house to
look after the dinner , which was going to ba
a very swell affair. Mts Cross had baked
some nce : wafers the day before , and we were
going to lervo them with Ice cream-mad
from condensed milk , of coursefor dessert.
Even now , In this land of pleilty , I hook
over the menu with the feelng that wc had
a first-chess dinner , and . I Imow that every
one of my guest , as he came up with his
appetite sharpen by hIs exerlons and the
cold , bracing air , felt that no tonIc wa
needed to make him do full justice to the
rmoeah h
When wo came to dstrlbuto : time prizes It
was fonnt that Clarke won eight of the
eleven events and was , therefore , awarded a
narwhal horn , the prIze for the best all-
round athlete , besides scooping such minor
prizes o a deerskin , boxes of nuts and can-
dies , jars of jam , bottc3 of lIme , gape and
raspberry Juice , plum pudding , with sauce ,
eto. , etc. , not the best training diet In time
world , but the material for many a midnight
feast .
After time award of prizes It was time to ,
feed our menagerieeighty Eskimo dogs- '
and for this ( purpose several hundred pounds
of walrus meat , very ancient and . ] very tough ,
were cut Into pieces weighing from one-hal
to one 111 a hal pounds each The dogs were
already on time alert and I needed no cry oC
"huclt ! huclt ! " to b lnr thp snarling . fighting ,
yelping pack about the heels of the feeders .
Hector all Mike . the two St Derards
brought from the States , towered above the
pack stately and dlgnlfell , but this aIr was
soon lad : aside when the pieces of meat were
lcatered among time dogs , ror thel .It was
fight and wIn or go hungry The dog who
was fortunate enough to get hold of a piece
of meat Immcdlately bolted It whole for fear
some other canine would capture I , and also
to enable him to enter again without unneces-
sary loss of tlmo II the free-for-al fght for
another tid.bii.
In honor ' of t'e day we gave them an extra
large allowance of meat , and I hope they apprecIated -
precIated I , though I have my doubts , for an
Eskimo dog Is always hmuimgry
Every ono now went Into the house and
soon I heard such exclamatons as "Say ,
have you got a collar ? " "Jove I look at this
te ! " and time like , from which I Judged that
time boys were dressing for dinner and were
dIscovering that civilized finery left , to take
care of itself during an Arctic wInter does
not Improve In appearance .
However , when at lat the dinner bell rang
there trooped Into the iing room a dozen

letter of Governor Jackson withdrawing from
the race for governor line thrown the p011(1- (
clans Into a fever of excitement and opened ]
up time political campaign much earlier than
usual ] . The annouccement was so entirely
unexpected that the odct : poltcians have
been literally swept o their feet anti a
dozcn prospective "sltes" have beemm smashed
to Pieces , The certainty of election Is a new
factor that wIll bring Into the arena the
whole lst of gub rnftorlnl aSlllrants and ]
fully n score of names for this Important
ofco may bo Presented to time next repub-
lcan state convention. While this Is true , I
Is altogether probable that the contest will
b fought out emi well established lines and
between time mrhus conflicting forces now
striving for party controi.
In the first place the prohibiIonIsts will
make an effort to unite either upon General F.
M. Drake or Lieutenant Govcror Dungan ,
and under good leadership woull bo able to
practically solidify the southern amid south-
'
western parts of the state on this issue
The young men , as well as the so-called
liberal element , \t oull be satisfied with SlC-
retary McI'arland , and ( le fight wIll likely
narrow down to these candidates . In the
IJrelmlnary struggle however , the Issues arc
liable to be obscured and Innumerable "dark
horses" and "favorite sons" wi be encour-
aged to shy their casters Into the ring.
Drake's chief strength lies In his church
connection , his extensive acquaintance and
his large railroad intereets Dungan has a
Ilrlo i ) lsonal Colowhll Inon ! veter1 ! moli-
ic i ; - and especlay with former legislators ,
and will probably craw to his support a large
share of the ant.monopoly contingent. his

CIO ' C OF TIE YOUNG MEN.
McFaria , who Is now serving his third
term as secretary of state , ha3 had n 11lenoui-
enaly successful career In politiCs , and wIll
enter the race with the prestige of succcss II
every former political undertakimmg. lie wIll
bo loyally supported by time young
men's league , unless a new candidate -
date Is sprung from that section by the
scud delegations from the extreme north amid
cast. He has also elcmcnts of personal
strength whIch will trw to him a heavy
, scattering vote. Polk county , with , Its nearly
forty votes , wIll go sold to McF'arlammml unle.s
his supporters from the socled river coun-
I tics become "too loud" and demonstatve ant
thereby frighten the prohlbltonlsts. :
Shmot1l l : D deadlock happEn between thes
three le'aders l . the dark horses that would bo
led Into time ring are "too numerous to nba-
Uon. " Mayor Isaac L. HII ! of Des Moines
would be among the first. Ben Clayton of
Warren ( formerly of Iotawatamle ) would n't
bo averse to being consIdered In this list.
Should Mm' McFarland drop out A. D. Cmh-
mains of Des Moines , Iowa's famous orator ,
would develop surprising strength , although
hs : nomination would hardly be acceptable to
the extreme prolmibitioniste.
Tal all In nil , the contest Is goIng to be
th liveliest political tussle that has taken
place In this state for many a day.
ROADS MAY DE DBATEN.
While time Board of Railroad Commissioners -
sioners have gIven no Intmaton as to what
Its decIsIon will be In the case now pending ,
II which the railroads ask for an Increase of
local freight rates , It becomes daily more
and moro evident that the result wl bo a
milJleto and overwhelmIng victory for the
farmIng and Jobbing Interests. The railroads
have been utterly unable to make the show-
lug called for by the commissioners , and the
recent order , of the board requiring I more
specifc statement , duly itemized and verified ,
of their local business , has sounded the death
knell of theIr hopes. The jobbers have been
ably represented before the board by ex-
Railroad Commissioner Frank T. Campbell ,
who ho proven more than a match for time
skillful jugglers at figures employed by the
railroads. .
Mr. Campbell- concuslv.ly shown that
the railroads In many Instances have volun-
tariy male lower rates than thosc fixed by
the commissioners , and whIch the railroads'
attorneys Insist arc not paying. In thc very
beginning of thIs stubbornly contested case
the railroad commission laid down the rue :
that they would not consent to an Increase
In rates unless they were fully convInced
that the present rates were unremuneralve ,
and the burden of proof was cast upon the
corpora tons.
Time most ample opportunity has been
given the corporations to make out their
case , and on time other hant the jobberD ,
shippers and farmers have been ns freely
permitted to puncture the pretensions of the
railroads and show up their fallacious rea-
sonings
I the htarln hqd Me" ex I rt" or on n _
sided no one could predict what time result
would ba , but time case has been so well con-
tested that there Is little doubt ot thl final
acton of the board. Whatever their findings
immny , be , the facts . . and gre.s.bro . . ght. forth
wIll IO a valaDO comrlUUOI to raiway
litIgation and ought to bo of considerable !
value to other states In fixing just and reasonable -
