Tlio Vampire.
It is s-aid that hoofed animals rarely
die from the effects of the vampire's
bile , but that fowls do. It makes its at
tacks in the night time , says a writer
in Forest and Stream , and an old current
i V
] rent notion still exists that it fans its
victim to sleep with its wings. Men
tire no exception to the vampire's pro
pensities , and if any parts of the body
are loft exposed in the forests inhabited
by these animals , it is more than likely
thrtono will fasten upon the inviting
site. Most of the accounts , however , that
have come to us about those creatures
arc much exaggerated , and people who
have sustained bites from Desmodus
say that the effects soon pass
oil' , the spot being only a little sere for
a few days. It is all nonsense about
their rinding one of the larger arteries
from which todiaw the blood , and the
puncture made , by their teeth is by no
mcana deep , and may occur at any part
of the body. In Paraguay , says Azarn ,
the inhabitants have no special dread
of this bat , and they frequent the
houses and people are often bitten by
them. A big mammalian mosauito ,
that's all and , 1 do not believe , half to
bo as much dreaded as the swarms of
the genuine article that I have seen
down on the Mosquito coast in Old
Mexico , or in llayti , or Jamaica , or
Cuba , and similar places whore it has
been my fortune to face them.

Tlio number of largo real estate deals

posed of the property on South Main
street occupied by David Bradley &

party , together with fifty lots In
Wright's addition. It is stated that
the now owner \vjll shortly proceed to
erect a largo number of cottages on
those lots , and otherwise improve them ,
The settling ui > of Wright's addition
will bo ono of the important changes
that will bo effected dur'ng the year of
1889. This change in the ownership of
the Main street warehouse will not
ntloet the business of David Bradley &
Co , , as that linn will continue there
until they build for themselves , as they
are planning to , and occupy their own
warehouse. When they do this they
will probably change their location to
the western part of the city.

In this work the laity of thisnnd olhei
churches unite. Yesterday afternoon
the room was Tilled with a devoted audi
ence. A short address was delivered
by. Mr. K. M. Hunker. In opening he
said : "lurintr these past few weeks i
have constantly been burdened with the
question : How can I bring my religious
experience to bear upon the hcarti and
lives of those T meet day after day in the
business relations of life ? For a h ng
time I could not solve the problem.
Finally the answer came , but I lacked
the courage to do what the answer in
dicated. Now , through the praco ol
( ! od , t am enabled to do this work.
After J ha\e transacted my business
with a man I take him by tlui hand and
siv to him , "My dear sir , how is it with
yo'ur soul ? What prospects have you of
heaven ? " Jle recited bomo personal
oxpoi ienccs to show how this work was
done -Mill its results' "This , " .said ho ,
"is thi1 way Uod designs us to work.
Hy doing this we gain strength our
selves and peivhanco 'save a soul from
death. '
"The primal purity w.hich God be
stowed upon the race is to be regained
through Christ. Ho has given 'gifts'
unto men. To some prophesy , or the
po\\or \ to teach , and according to these
gifts God gives the power of faith.
What for ? That wo may regain what
wo lost in the fall of the race. Thot-o
gifts are not confined to men. Women
also are ' 1 Us ministers' and of them is
expected u largo measure of service.1
Jn closing he miule a strong appeal
for fiiithfnlnes- , and more entire de
votion in the cause of the Master.

into many of the lodge rooms of the se

tive than a purely temporary one. It
is now proposed to make this an inde
pendent order , and put it upon a per
manent basis , by introducing a benefi
ciary feature. Other mallei's are sug
gested to the same end. In order to
cITcct thcr-e changes in the workings

( "or Homo Missions.
Yesterday mornSnglScv. G. W. Crofts ,
at the Congregational church , spoke in
behalf of the Homo Mission society ,
chosing as his text , "Freely yo have re
ceived , freely give. "
In urging the needs of the society ho
did EO because the disciples of Christ
everywhere and at all times were com
manded to help spcad the truth. It was
their duty to roach out after souls.
Social interests also demanded that
the country should bo permeated with
the gospel. This was especially true of
the wost. Look at the immense tide of
foreign immigration. Half a million
annually. Sevonty-livo per cent of this
was pouring into the formative west.
The popular faith that "God will take
care of children , fools , and the United
States , " must not bo relied on. The
Lord would take cnro of us , if wo did
our duty. Our very safety depended on
the Christian education and moiUdng of
those masses of humanity.
Socialism was a danger which must
bo met. It is rooted in atheism. Put
intelligence and atheism together and
you have a compound that makes man a
lemon.

THE MYSTERV JFTHE MOUNDS

City Independent.
On the lilth day of August , ISfil , a
body of United State- ) troops under the
command of Colonel Price , detailed to
punish the bands of Indians depredat
ing upon the borders of clvili/aHon.
came in contact with a largo .body ol
Indians made up of Liltjo Crows ,

way up the bottoms of the Prairie Dog.

to att'iek the blue coats. A shrot con
ference of the red skoi.s dutcrininod the
policy , mid Indian fashion , a light wiw
begun at the base of the Prairie Dog
bin ltd , that was one of the most violent
of the series which charactori/'id the
frontier wr.rfarc of thtuo davs. The
troops entrenched near the Prairie Dog
poured in a galling and deadly lire upon
the maneuvering redskins , when they

Indians were equipped largely with
rifles , their aim.vns not as dostriictivo.
the band -oldiors being not largo. At
the fall of night both forces drew oft.
The Indians unwilling to further pursue
and the troops too badly shattered to do
so. but upon the prairie sod. then fresh
in its virginity , there lay the stilToniiig
forms of 1U7 Indians mid 10 soldiers
victims of the strife , and sacrifices to
the hatred of the races. Tlio Indians
went into buttle under the chiefs Wynn-
dotte and Wild Deer. At its close
there remained but Wyandotte and a
posse of braves to rotrcat under the
cover of daricness. Wild Doer and IL'O
of his followers .slept their eternal sleep
on the prairie which had been their
hunting and fishing dronnds. Before
moving on the next day , the troops
buried the remains of the killed , and in
one largo trench on the crest of Mount
Mownson , they laid the forms o [ the
Indians'to rest. In the valley , not far
from the Prairie Dog , and siilo by side ,
seventeen upavcs wore dug and in
them , with tnoir blankets for a winding
sheet' were tenderly deposited the
soldier boy.s who fell before the fatal
bullets of the red skins. The mounds
were unmarked , but in the center of
the graven a largo btono was placed and
upon its surface was chiseled the' day
and date of the battle , tlio number of

name of the commander of tha troops.
Mr. Spencer alleges that ho was pres

Indians , and upon the person of Wild
Deer ho noticed : v gold watch and

mounds and graves have remained un
noticed and untouched , until the curios
ity of citizens was excited and an ex
ploration of the mounds luis resulted
in the discovery of ti largo amount of
Indian relies , while it is evident that
not one-half of the deposit has been
worked over. The mooted question as
to how and when these mounds were
is now fullv e.\plained. There is no
longer a mystery or even a doubt as to
the identity of the remains , and the
search for _ relics will , we suppose , con
tinue until not a bone of the original lli"
warriors is left unturned in whatshould
have been its final resting place.

"Tnlk of .your curly experience h :

from avengeful tndiiiiis , and your buf
falo stampedes , but I'll relate to you
something" said Engineer Hob Hall ,
formerly of the HurliiiHton , and , in the
early days , with the Central Pucille.
"that will make your blood chill your
veins , at least it does mine every time I
relleet upon the occurrence. Jn early
days , thu stage trallio for iiasbon ors
destined to interior points was heavy.
You might be destined for a point , " 00

greater distance in a stafro-coai-h. For
this reason , u largo cutibignnient of
money a.s well as passengers might bo
found in the care of a coach driver at
any point on Ills loncbomo journey.
Afraid of Indians ? well , not so
much as you had an unques
tionable right to fear the pale
faces outlaws who scrupled not to
take life on the slightest provocation.
Well , now. let mo toll you that there
were some pretty bravo men that held
the ribbon * on tiio stage horses as well ,
and for their bravery in protecting the
livr.'s and property of oilier.- , many of
them are no.v llllintr unknown graves ,
having been riddled by the bullets of
bandit * . 1 was perhaps closely associa
ted with one of these depredations , or
nt Ica t , I found myself so situated be
fore realising the dangerous task 1 was
compelled to accomplish while on the
Central I'aeilir. It was in the fall of
"i'l when the bandits were playing such
havoc with htogo drivers and passen
gers. Not a week parsed but that tome
htnguasrobbod , and in most instances ,
lives were sacrificed.Vell I wtis sit
ting * on my seat in the cab of my engine
smoking my old clay pipoand .loo Davis ,
my attendant , was arranging the tank
to take water. My engine was well-
down in water , but she held Her steam
guago up to perfection. The tank
was bat a few roils ahead of the station ,
and we pulled up slowly to the well.
Suddenly , a man with a broad-briined
sombrero confronted mo with a cocked
revolver. 'Pull that lover , pull her
open and let her go or j on are a dead
man ! ' This id the predicament I found
myself in. 1 could not rciili/.o that. I
was confronted with a full-Hedged
bandit at first , but when I got a snill'of
the odor from the'imi//.le ' of a revolver ,
and knowing that it was in the hands of
a man that would shoot if 1 failed to
obey his mandatory utterance , I pulled
her wide open , and concluded that if J
were shot it would bo at the post of
duty. The sudden jerk , on opening
the throttle , broke the coupling be
tween the engine and the baggage
coach , and along the track went tno old
boy. fairly heavin'g the sticks of wood
through the smoke-stack. What could
F do ? He had me foul. IIo know I was
: in engineer , and to feign my
ignorance of running an engine meant
death at the hands of my impromptu
ijuost the bandit. Well , sir , do you
believe , he made mo do my own tiring ,
and he kept the mu//.le of the revolver
upon me at all times. On two occasions
1 wished that I was cross-eyed , so as to
get a good peep at the man and reveler -
er at the same time , lint ho instructed
me not to direct iny attention toward
In in under pain of death. I had other
things to fear which , if luck was
against me , was certain death , but I
would have been willing to have faced
almost anything rather than disobey
the demands of my newly acquircu
master. Then here was another thing.
My supply of water was well-nigh ex
hausted , and what if it would give out !
The bandit knew nothing1 of these tech
nicalities , and I could not have ex
plained it should such a fate have be
fallen me , I am sure , and then after
having almost died from fright and ex
haustion 1. would still have been doomed
to the mercy of a deadly bullet. Finally ,
I remarked that I was used to such
seances.
" 'It's pooty hard , boss , but it's your
blood or mine that's at stake , ' the fel
low muttered in response , and then I
knew that this fellow Imd done his
work , had perhaps left the scene of his
operation with human blood upon his
hands and with human lipa crying to
heaven for aid , and that ho only de
sired to gel to a hiding place. At the
third station , which was miles away , I
thought , from where I left the rcit of
the train , we observed a train about
two miles ahead. I'erhaps you will
wonder why my eyesight was to e ° ° d ,
but let me state that every optic nerve
was given power to act for my hair
MooiT so straight on my head that it
kept my eyes wide open , Uo saw the
train nliead two. About forty rods in
advance of us was u slight deviation in
the ground and also a light growth of
brubli or timber.
' ' 'Shut her down , boss,1 said ho , and
then I did shut her down for keeps. I
brought it up short , stopped , and with
his revolver rcbted upon mo ho
backed out of the cab and stopped down
from the engine. He motioned mo to
go on , and you hot I again lot her gofer
for all the old wood-cater was worth.
"That is the last I saw of him. I did
not turn my eyes in the direction ho
was going until' I reached the next sta
tion. Fortunately , I had about twelve
miles of down grade and for this reason
my scarcity of water was not drawn
upon so extensively nsn level road would
have required , and consequently , my
limited supply held me through the exciting -
citing trip and undoubtedly tavcd my
life. I recruited again and starJed
back , and how fur do you think I had
traveled ? Just twenty-eight miles , but
it scorned fully 100 to mo , and nh-o a
lifotimo. In a nutshell , I was fright
ened out of my wits , i subsequently
learned that my guest was Modoo Jack ,
one of the most noted desperadoes on
the plains , and that the day before ho
swooped down upon mo , ho had
killed n btago driver and di
vested the pa&gongers of their
wealth , likewise killing ono of the
latter thntntlompted to draw his weapon
in defense. It was stated that ho had
about $25,000 and that ho had it with
him when ho mounted my engine. IIo
might have had an elephant with him
and it would not have appeared any
larger than did that gun which ho hold
at my head , to mo. I assisted him to
escape , but it was a case of compulsory
charity on my part. The strange fea
ture of It is that just ono year from that
date I pulled the baggage car that con
tained the remains of ModocJnck in the
embrace of death. Yes , sir , ho was
about ono hundred and eighty miles
from Denver , and while in a game of
poker , it is said , a fellow bandit who <
ran a rookery in the mountains shot
him because ho called his hand wrong , ,
