The fire department was called out yester
day noon by an alarm from the southern part
of the city. The firass near the Kansas City
tracks had caught flro , and for n time It was
feared that It would result In the destruction
of some of the adjacent bulldlnKS. The
flames were soon extinguished , however , and
tlicro WBB no dainngo done ,
Charles Atkins , n brother of J. R. Atkins
of this city , died nt his home In Detroit ,
Mich. , and the funeral took place yesterday.
Ills brother left here to attend. The dead
man was well known to old residents of this
city , having been a member of the firm of
McClclInn & Atkins thirty-five years ago In
the wnr he served In the same company with
I ) . F. Elcher. J. C. DcIInven and others of

The democrats of the Ninth congressional
district will meet In convention In this city
next Wednesday to nominate General James
13. Weaver , populist , for congrdss. That this
will be the action of the convention there
nro very few democrats who are prepared
to deny. The statement that General Weaver
proposes to move here from DCS Molnca In
order that he can gracefully aspire to repre
sent the district In congress , Is mill held out
ns a bait to the democrats and populists of
the district , who are expected to vote for
him , although BO far ho has shown no In
clination to make good the promise of hla
friends. _ _ _

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Pro'pcots for Keoscnin ? tto Grand Hotel
Soon Are Now VerBright. .
LOCAL PEOPLE WILL BUY THE BUILDING
Lucliu Well * mill F. W. Hurt llupa to llutc
Tlirlrnth of Securing Milm-rlp-
tloim Kmleil by Tills Ihunlng
Clark U'lll JIuvo Charge.
The plan which was first given to the pub-
lie through the columns of The lice several
weeks ago with reference to the reopening of
the Grand hotel has so far matured that
there Is now no reasonable- doubt that In a
very slr.rt time the hostelry will again throw
Us doors open to the public , and Council
Bluffs will have once more one of the finest
hotels In the west. Far months Lucius
Wells end ft. W. Hart have been quietly at
work organizing n stock company for the
) purchase of the lutcl property frcm the In-
Miranco company that now owns It , nnd
soliciting stock subscriptions from the citi
zens. They expect that by this evening
they will have secured the necessary $30,000
to provide for the first payments , when the
sale will be consummated by the company
on the terms proposed bcfcrc the work of
soliciting wns commenced. To these two
gentlemen Is due the credit of carrying the
plan to a successful close , and cons derlng
the general hard times and closeness of
money matters , the Job was by no means a
small one , and the credit Is correspondingly
great. E. F. Clark , who Is Well known to
the readers of The Bee , will have the man
agement of the hotel when It is reopened ,
and will undoubtedly make It even more of
a success under the new ownership than he
did under the old. The management wns
under a great disadvantage when It had
to put up with a thirty-day lease , that being
all that the Insurance company would give ,
and yet Mr. Clark succeeded In making the
establishment pay handsomely. With a
five-year leate , which he will now have , nnd
the hearty co-operation of the citizens who
have Interested themselves In the betel's
success In n financial way , he will bo able
to do even better , and the people of this
cl'y may ccngratulate themselves on the
happy \\ay In which the bulldczlng scheme
' of the Insurance company has at length
'turned out.

Where Are the Hand Concert * ?
The question is frequently asked lately ,
what 1ms become of the series of band con
certs that was commenced early In the
summer In Falrmount pnrk ? The first of
the series wns the only one that ever mater
ialized. It attracted big crowds to the park
nnd Its success amply Justified the park
commissioners nnd the motor company In
the expenditure they underwent. For some
renson or other the scheme to have band
concerts a regular feature of Sunday after
noon nt the park died n-bornlng , nnd those
who seek recreation have hnd to look
elsewhere. There are plenty of musicians
In the city who can bo gotten together , and
It Is to be hoped that another concert will
bo forthcoming before long.

SPIRIT LAKE , la. , July 31. ( Correspond
ence of The Bee. ) On a narrow point of
land extending out over the south side of
the West Okobojl and within a stone's throw
of the beach of that beautiful body of water
stands a log cabin. It Is ono story high ,
It has two windows and a door , and It Is old
and weather beaten. A few rods away to
the southeast Is a heap of rocks. On the
spot now marked by these stones will soon
be erected , by the state of Iowa , a handsome -
some granite monument.
Connected with this crude little cabin
and with this heap of rocks is n story preg
nant and pathos nnd with horror.
The cabin stands on one of the most de
lightfully charming and picturesque spots
In all this romantic region. It was built
way back In the fall of 1850 by a man named
Gardner , who came to Iowa with an ox
team and a wagon , at a time when this sec
tion of country was a wilderness , to make
a home for himself and family. Ho was a
stout-hearted , cheery man , ouoyant of spirits
and full of hope. Ills was the IIrat cabin
built In Dickinson county , and he took a
degree of pride In It , He was accompanied
hither his and worked
by son-in-law , they
night and day to prepare a home for the
reception of those of the family who were
to fodow. About this same time several
other cottages were put up about the lakes.
In the early days of the March follow
ing the peaceful little aband ot pioneers
wcro startled by stories whlch reached them
of depredations being pommltted on the
Little Sioux by a lotpf roving Indians. Few
precautions , however , weru taken against an
attack , and consequently.when the redskins
came upon the settlement , they found little
to resist the execution of their damnable
purpose. The story of Jtjiat blood-curdling
butchery Is now a part ofwllstory' Tlie Gard
ner cabin was the Ural,9110 , assaulted ; the
crime committed therein was horrible In
the extreme. All the < Inmates of that happy
home were ruthlcstilyx laln , except the
youngest daughter Abblethen 14 years old.
She was taken captive and not for four
months did she regUlri 'Jher liberty. That
awful massacre resulted ! In the death of
thirty-six men , women" and children. All
of the cabins were 'burned ' to the ground
except that of the Gardners ; It was spared
and Is still standing ; a 'silent reminder of
that bloody affair , i'I '
The writer found his "way to the historic
cabin on the occasion 'of a recent visit to
Okobojl and talked with the Interesting
woman who lives there. For many years
Mrs. Sharp could not bear to mention the
massacre In which all In the world whom
she held dear were slain In cold blood before
her eyes , but tlmo has softened her grief ,
and now she can talk about U without mani
festing any emotion. Coon after her release

Indians. They were burled there by a party
of rescuers from Fort Dodge.
The young girl who witnessed the shocking
scenes of that memorable day Is still nllve.
She now signs herself Mrs. Abbie Gardner
Sharp. Mrs. Sharp Is a pleasant-faced
woman , with rather sharp eyes , a luxurious
head of hair , a broad forehead , and a nose ,
mouth and chin Indicative of firmness and
character. About ten years ago Mrs. Sharp
wrote and had published a book descriptive
of the massacre and recounting In detail ths
Incidents of her four months' captivity. It
had considerable of a sale and netted its au
thor a snug sum of money.
After an absence of more than thirty years
Mrs. Sharp has returned here and purchased
the little old cabin In which she witnessed
the sickening scenes of that blustery March
day , and she now makes It her home. She
also purchased the grounds surrounding the
cabin , and the place has been transformed
Into a museum of Indian relics.
At the last session of the legislature an
appropriation of $5,000 was made for the
purpose of gathering together the remains
of the victims of the massacre and the erectIng -
Ing over them of n monument.
The summer season Is now open here , and
the hotels are filled to overflowing with
guests , whllo around the lakes are numer
ous tents , each sheltering as mnny people
as It can comfortably hold. Nearly every
body goes to see Mrs. Sharp and to hear
form her own lips the thrilling story tf the
massacre.
"I now see all that occurred on that fate
ful day as clearly as If It were but yester
day , " she said to the writer. "The agony of
soul I suffered during the execution of those
barbarous deeds and In the four months ot my
captivity cannot bo expressed In words. I
see them now the Indians bedecked with
their paint and feathers and brandishing
their death dealing tomahawks as they
swooped down upon us. Wo had been
warned of their coming , but so many
rumors had been set afloat concerning Indian
depredations that wo did not feel any par
ticular alarm till we saw them coming and
heard their awful yell. Some ot the men In
the settlement were prepared to resist their
terrible onslaught , but they were so greatly
outnumbered that they could make but n
feeble fight. For many years the soul-sick
ening scenes ot that day would rlso before
me In my sleep , and I was a nervous wreck.
But as tlmo were on I regained my com
posure , and my nervousness passed away. "

Kfforts IlcInK Mndo to Cancel Indian At-
tiirlimrntB on south Dukolii.
CHAMBERLAIN , S. D. , Aug. B. ( Special
to The Bee. ) Action has been commenced
before the United States land ofllce In this
city for the cancellation of the allotments
taken by two Sioux Indians , Parted Hair
and Roan Doff , under the provisions of the
bill opening the Sioux reservation to settle
ment. The case Is an Interesting ono. The
land Is on White river , In the ceded Sioux
lands , and nearly 1,500 acres are Included In
the two allotments. A great deal ot the land
Is heavily timbered and for this and other
reasons Is very valuable. A number ot white
men have presented filings ut the local land
office for some of the land embraced In the
two allotments , but In pursuance of law the
applications were Invariably rejected as being
In conflict with the rights of the two In
dians. The parties who have taken the pre
liminary steps toward having the allotments
canceled claim that the Indians have never
lived on the land or established residence
thereon In accordance with the provisions of
the Sioux bill , Roan Dog died about a year
ago , and Parted Hair Is at present a soldier
In the' army of the United States. When the
Indian allotments are canceled , as they prob
ably will bo In the course of lime , a lively
struggle for possession ot the land will take
place between the white settlers who have
their eyes upon It.
