nilcsloiier Tldrlck In this city of OJ < 1 Face ,
a Sioux brave , on tlio charge of larceny , Is
probably tlio hoqitol of an Interesting Indian
romance In which some of tin ) aristocracy
of the Slnux nation figured. In October ,
1830 , Appearing Kaitli. the bcllo of the Crow
Crock Sioux , nml 1-Mrut Horn , a warrior anil
a member of ono of the "Hist families , "
\vcro married by United Stales Indian Agent
lilxon. All went smoothly In Hie Kirst Horn
household mill ! n young Sioux beauty named
( iood Matured Fool Hear aft'cared on the
scene. The red Rklnned Illrt had becu At
tending fin eiifterti Indian school and had re-
tn ned to the reservation to p.iss her vaca
tion , when 8hu and Klrst Horn mot nnd
formed a warm attachment for f-ach other.
Naturally the Jealousy of the patient \\lfc
VMS aroused , Then the tccreinl husband
nnd the young channel Oeclded to ulnpo In
tlio fashion most approved among the young
lioiplo of too while rettlements. They fled
to Vanktoti agency , mil were followed by a
himad of Indian tiollce , who had been placed
on Ihclr trail by the dcccrted wife , and
forcibly carried Ixick to Crow deck agency ,
wiiei'c the hard-hearted olllrers throw them
Into Jail. After being Imprisoned foi a time
they were liberated , and the relatives ot
Good Naturtd Keel Hear again sent her to
the eastern school , hoping that the separation
would result In the lovers forgetting each
other.
After many months the Indian girl re
lumed to hut home on the icservatlon. First
1) ) ' . 'n and the charmer .igaln left the agency
nnd proceeded to naini Valley , the county
scat of UtifTalo county , where they were mar
ried by a Methodist minister. Thty returnel
to the rcnTvatlon the same evening , and the
next morning were once moro nnosted and
th own Into Jail. Cnmplilnt clmrglng First
IITII with bigamy was made to : i t'nlted
States commissioner , and a warrant was b-
tucd and s-erved 'by a deputy marshal. At
the preliminary examination Attorney C. C' .
Morrow , representing the accused , main
tained that the United States was without
jurisdiction , as the m.vriago ceremony con
stituting the act ot bigamy was performed
outside the Crow Creek reservation , and ,
therefore , only subject to the stale statutes.
The commissioner concurred In this view
and Klrst Horn was released.
Ills lawful wife then Instituted divorce
proceedings against him and won the case at
n t'Crln of circuit court held In this city last
June.
MOVED TIll'3 HOUSE.
Such nrc the di-talls'of the romance up tea
a few days ago , when the ease was once
more ealled to the attention of the authori
ties by the action of Klr t Horn in making
co.nplaint against Odd Face for larceny. H
appcitg that shortly after Appearing Earth
secured tlio divorce from Flint Horn in the
circuit court here she married Odd Face.
Klist Horn wan given an allotment of land
l > y the government some years ago , and upon
It was located the dwelling In which hlm-
fci'f ami Appearing Earth resided before
troubli ! ' arose between them. When his dl-
l _ J vo'cedjwlfe remarried she took her new hus
band to' this house , and the couple prepared
to make their permanent home there. Fifst
Born refused to peaceably permit the couple
' to retain possession of what ho asserted was
II *
his property , and us Ills divorced wife de
clared she would keep the house by force. If
necessary , the court at Crow Creek agency ,
I r composed of three full-blood Sioux , was ap
I H pealed , to. Hut , much to the surprise of
1'Mrst Horn , the Indian court decided ti > move
the house off First Horn's land , and thin
they HiicccBsfully accomplished. First Horn
accordingly entered complaint before the
XJnjted Slates commissioner , and had Odd
Knee arrested on the charge of larceny. As
the result of the preliminary examination tlio
accused was discharged , During the hearing
Mm.-Odd Face , probably for the purpose ot
tantalizing her former husband to the full
est degree , appeared clad In all the finery of
her wedding costume.
Indians on the Sioux rescrvallon , who were
formerly accustomed to divorce their wives
in ( ho easy fashion prevalent for hundreds
of years among the Indian tribes , are now
quite generally applying to the state courts
to separate them from uncongenial compan
ions , and Judge Morrow of this city , who
has successfully handled many such cases ,
IB being besieged by Indian warriors and
squaws who are contemplating applying for
divorces.

Scrambled Eggs with Vcgetable-s Scram-

( Copyright , 1897. by Cy Wurman. )
About a month after the batllo atVhltc
Horse , in which Whlpsaw , Iho slatlon
keeper , lob and Lltile Kyuse , the C-year-ohl
Pawnee , slew n half dozen Sioux' , Hob was
able to take his ride again on Ihe pony ex
press.
Llltlo Kyuse was now more of a hero than
ever. The most he had done up to that
night had been to warn the men when the
Sioux were coming , but now It became
known that he had not only detected the
enemy In the act of stealing upon the sta
tion , but had actually killed the leader o !
the murderous band , with his 38.
Ono day when Whlpaaw and the express
rider , who laid over at White Horse , were
out after buffalo , Lltile Kyuso was watching
Ihe station. The hunters had been lured
aw'ay by the flying herd , and when the sun
hung low In the clear , hot sky they had not
yet returned. Kor nearly an hour the In
dian boy had been watching a bare-backed
broncho that scorned to bo feeding about
a milo away , but kcut working nearer and
nearer to the station.
Presently the sharp eye of the Pawnee
saw that the animal had two pairs of front
legs. A quarter of an hour later ho made
out thai Ihe rider was stalking In the
shadow of Ihe horse. To and fro the animal
went , out toward the sunset that was
blinding the boy , and at each turn came
nearer to the station. When at last the
round , red sun went down , and the men did
not return , the brave lltllo watchman took
his irlflc and planted himself In the cabin
door. At dusk the horse began to circle
round Ihe cabin , but the boy kept his place.
Now not more than 100 yards separated the
horse nnd the station.
The owner of the animal now started for
the cabin from the rear , and when he
reached the shed , or lean-to ln > which the
express horses were kept , he stopped. The
boy cocked his ear and his rlllc.
TUB CAl'TUUE.
The man starled his horse round the
house one way , and crept round the other
side on tiptoe. As the head of the horEc
showed up at the corner ot the cabin , Little
Kyuso stood up to face whatever ( or 'Who
ever might come , and Instantly a powerful
Bloux sprang upon him from behind , twisted
the gun from his slender hands , threw him
upon the back of his horse and vaulted ur
behind him.
The big Indian gazed down upon the lltllc
toy gun contemptuously , swept the horizon
with his ( Jagle eye , leaned forward , clamped
the horse with his knees , and the animal
galloped away.
A half hour later Whlpsaw and Deb , tired
and hungry , rode up to the cabin. "Kyuse ! "
called Whlpsaw , but there was no answer.
Dismounting , Deb threw Ihe door of the
shed open , for his flrst Ihought was of the
express pony , and was greeted by a cheerful
neigh. Whlpsaw went Into the cabin , came
out , looked at his companion and utlered tht
one word , "Gone. " He'stooped and lifted the
boy's rllle , that had been discharged in the
scuffle , saw the old empty shell In th <
"death chamber , " and wondered where the
bullet had gone. It seemed to be a consola
tion to find thai Ihe boy had made some sorl
of a fight , ille had not gone 'Willingly awaj
with his own people. He had been stolen
captured and carried away by the Sioux , wlu
would hold him for a high reward , unless the
boy should Invite death by attempting te
escape.
That night Ihe men had to keep walch foi
the first time for more than a year , for Lltile
KyUBe would nol be Ihero lo cell Ihem wher
Iho first faint sound of horses' feet was
heard on the distant plain.
WHIPSAW ON THE3 TRAIL.
As soon as ill was light Whlpsaw took tht
trail of the horse that had carried the boj
away. In a sag , not far from the cabin , hf
saw where an extra horse had been tethered
acd he knew' them that the capture of Little
Kyuse had been the result of a well-laic
plan , and Unit it would , be useless lo follow
Ihe thief.
The news of the capture was carried easi
to St. Joe and west to Sacramento by thi
riders of the flying bronchos that were racing
across the continent The company Immo
dhtcly offered a' reward for ( he recapture o
the Indian lioy , who hafl become not only at
alarm clock , but a watch dog , at the mos
dangerous station nn the entire route.
Kor six hours the .Pawnee , with feet lashei
to the saddle , roJo In front of his captor
Swift as the wind , dllcmt n the shadows ol
birds , they swept over the s ge-covcrci
desert Into the territory ot Nebraska.
Kor nearly a year Little Kyuse lived
among the Sioux , hut he never forgot his
white master. In all 'this time he had made
no attempt to eocape , and hU captors began
to believe that the boy had become recon
ciled to his fate. It would be pleasant tc
write hero that Lltllo Kyuso was vaslly sir
pcrlor to other Indiana thai ho went regu
larly to the Platte took off his bolt and
bathed him In the running stream. hut he
dlil nothing ot the kind. If ho plunged Intc
the river occasionally It was because Its watci
was cool and refreshing , and not because he
wanted to b ? clean , cleanliness Is next tc
godliness. Little Kylise was an Indian , lie
would skin a rabbit alive to * ca how lonp
It would live naked and share his dinner
with a crippled dog.
A mill run of Indians ot that day and age
rcgardlfss ot trlbo or locality , would prob
ably show a result of about one Jekyll tc
sixteen Hydcs.
In the spring and summer following the
capture ot the boy the Sioux were busy will
the Pawncss and the United States troops.
The band In which the boy was held was
forced to break camp ono dark night
and fly lor their lives.
THE KLIOHT.
Little Kyuse took advantage of the situa
tion and escaped. Not knowing that the
Pawnees , who were after the Sioux , were
his own people , ho turned his face to the
west and set out to find his white friend.
Ho traveled all night , not knowing exacllj
lo what point of the compass his swift feel
were carrying him , and at dawn hid beneath
Iho bank of the river. When the sun wenl
down he set his face toward the gold and
resumed his Journey. He made nole of Ihe
stars , so lhat when Iho , gold was gone ho
was able to keep his course loward the west.
It was near midnight of the second "sleep ; "
the boy was hungry and tired , Ho know
by his native Instinct that he inubt be neai
the station from which the Sioux had carried
him a year ago , and concluded to lie down
and rest until morning. He ate the last ol
a small piece ot dried buffalo moat that he
had carried with him. Away off toward the
mountains at the north he heard a. lone well
howl. Another answered from the south ol
him and still another close behind him. Tin
boy , being unarmed , was sore afraid. lie
got lo his feet , listened and hurried on.
Presently he heard a < ago brush rattle ,
looked back and saw a dark shadow follow
ing him. lie stopped short , and the shadow
stopped. Ho turned and ran toward It , beatIng -
Ing the nlghi air with his arms. The shadow
flounced noiselessly to one side , and ho knew
It was a wolf.
Ho turned and ran for a few hundred
yards , glanced buck and tlio shadow was a !
his heels. Ho fnoed about , and to his horroi
Ihere were lliree or four other shadows fol
lowing the first.
Ho ran at them , they flounced about , but
did not run away. Now he had to study the
ftars to get his bearings again , and , when
he started forward found himself surrounded
by the gaunt , gray wolves of the plain.
Brave as he was , the boy's heart stood still ,
while the hungry animals crouched nearer ,
He tried to pick up something to throw , bill
there was nothlnfi but the dry earth ami
the sage bush ,
KUIENI ) OU KOE ?
Kar ilown the plain he thought he heard
the hoofs of a horse hitting the trail. He
put his ear to tho-earth ami heard lo his joy
the unmistakable callatler , callaller of a
horse's flying feet. Nearer and nearer came
the sound and closer crept the wild dogs of
the desert. The boy's trained ear told him
that he was north of the trail upon which
the horse seemed to be traveling , and that
the lone rider would pass to the south of him.
Darting this way and that he succeeded In
driving the wolves away for a moment , and
then hurried across the sage bush. He had
not gone a hundred yards before he found
himself surrounded by the band again. The
horse was now so near the ho could hear
the animal's breath coming with a snort
like the exhaust erf a , locomotive at each
Jump , and. the wolves were so-close to Jilm
that he could hear them lick their chops
and see their eyes shining like green glass
In the darkness. Now he could see the horse
outlined against the horizon and the rider
lenanlng forward holding the broncho hard
between his knees , . The boy made another
desperate effort to escap ? from his pursuers ,
darted forward and a moment later his bare
feet felt the trail. At that moment ono of
the wolves snapped his sharp teeth through
the calf ot the boy's leg , threw him to Ihe
ground and Inslanlly he was covered by a
dozen , leaping , snarling , snapping wolves
lhat completely blocked the trail. The horse
stopped so suddenly that a less watchful
rider would have been hurled Into the heap.

Powerful Locomotives < 'oiilPH < ' * r < l
for u Southern Itonil.
The three biggest and strongest passenger
locomotives In tlio whole world will be placed
In service this fall by hie Southern r.Ul-
wa > ' , the lixidlng transportation system or
tlio south , which taps every state south ol
Mason and Dlxon's line excent Texas , ArKansas -
Kansas and Louisiana. Some idea of their
strength may be gathered , says the New
York Herald , from the fact'that each Is full }
twice os strong as the celebrated " 999 , "
which belongs to the Now York Central
railway and hauls the Empire State expre ,
nearly three times as strong as the engine
which hauls the Flying Scotchman from
London to Edinburgh , and more than three
times as strong as the engine which brings
the malU from London ( o Holyhead , To put
the matter In another way , one of these
engines could haul as much as ten ordinary
elevated railway engines , or four of the
average passenger locomotives used In thl *
country. >
Coupled with their extraordinary strength
these engines have a remarkable capacity
for high , speed. One of them could pull at
the rate of sixty miles an hour on a piece of
level , straight track no less than thirty-three
Pullman cars weighing forty tons each. Such
a train would be more than two-fifths of tt
milo long.
The six coupled driving wheels of theae
engines are each six feet In diameter , and
the working steam pressure Is 200 pounds to
the square Inch. The cylinders are of the or
dinary simple type , each twenty-one Inches In
diameter , with a piston stroke of twonty-
elglib Inches. This gives a tractive force , or
drawbar pull of 27,460 pounds , sufficient to
haul < i tralnload of1.279 tons , equal to about
eighty-five of the largest loaded freight cars ,
at slow speed on a level track. No loco

wide , with a total hunting surface ot 191

I lues In diameter , with tubes which give a
bratlmr Kttrfucc of no less than 2.208 square
fret. Soft coal , of which about eight tons
will bo put on the tender at starting , will be
the fuel.
An engine may also have great power and
yet be unable to utilize it. owing to lu-
MilHpient weight on Hie driving wheels. The
total weight of one of these locomotives will
bo scvotity-flvo tons , of which fifty-eight tons
will rest on the six driving wheels , the re
maining seventeen tons being carried by the
four-wheeled truck In front. Kevkonlng the
bile or iirln on the rail at one-fourth the
weight on the drivers wo get an ndhoslou of'
fourteen and one-half tons , nr 2U.OOO pounds , i
which Is 1.510 pounds more than the tractive j
force of the engine , thus leaving n good
margin foi wet weather and slippery rails.
The weight of nineteen and one-third tons i
on each pair of drivers Is also unparalleled
In the hhtory of railroads. To carry this , '
weight with safety nnd without heating thoj
lournals ot each axle are eight and one-half
Inches In diameter by eleven inches In length ,
fancy locomotive journals two feet and olio
and one-half Inches In circumference !
The tenders attached to these engines will
be worthy of them. Kach will carry -1,500 gallons
lens of water , and when leaded lo Its full
caoacltv will weigh forty-two and one-half
tons. This will bring the total weight of
engine and tender to 1172 ton * .
The oblect of having such powerful engines
Is not so much to make speed on the level as
to maintain It on the grades. The maximum
grades , of which there are several from two
to four miles long , vary from seventy to
eighty-two fitto ! thi' ' mile ( roughly speaking
from one nnd rnc-fourth to one atH one-halt
per cent ) and the curves on these froi *
a to 0 degrees.

Sure enough , pussy at once showed nn In

Scarcely hud she said this when Miss Pussy
