( Copyright. 1837. by Cy Wan-nan. ) All'day the train bid been laying at Shady Hill for orders. Once In a while the engineer would atk the brakcman to cut htm off , nnd ho would race up and down the track In order to pump her , for there were no Injectors on our locomotives In ' 62. All da 'lho con ductor eat In the caboose , wherc-an operator was working , expecting orders to back away , for the Johnnies wcro getting the better of the Yanks. Once , when the cnglncer went donn the track Into the plnC forest , he saw a band of buahwhackcrn.'rldlng leisurely through the wood , In the direction of Shady Rill. These wcro not men of the north , nor yet of the south. They were marauders , murderers , masquerading as soldiers , and equally dangerous to cither army. The engi neer told the conductor what ho had seen , and , taking a couple of muskets and one of the brakcmcn , the captain put himself Into the wood tank and set out to hunt the bandits. It was on odd way to go to work , but the conductor considered It better than remaining at the run to be plundered , if ciot murdered by the 'band. The bushmen must liavo heard them coining , for they weio Bitting on their horses , stilt as statues , when the old woodburnor came creeping round a curve , her llnkiJ and chains rattling like a dray en cobblestones. "Halt , " cried the leader , and the engineer hooked her over. "What do you want ? " commanded the con ductor. "What have you got ? " asked the bush- man. man.Tho The negro fireman must have seen the humor of the man's reply , for ho poked his head round the corner of the cab and laughed a laugh that seemed to come from the very bottom of his bare feet. - It filled the forest and rippled away down the wood like the song of a reaper reaping In a valley near the hills. "I'V de Lawil , dat am funny , " said the negro wiping his eyes. "Nothing that you cm have , " said the conductor back at the bushman. TROUHLE 11EGIN8. Immediately the negro opened lib chim ney and began to rl.ple again , but this time the flow of his mirth was broken by the sound of muskets. Hang ! bang ! blckcty bang , went the guns of the marauders and the negro , changing his laugh to a cry of piln , fell upon the deck and begged the brakeman - man to shoot him. "I's done killed. Fo * de Lawd , I's shot plumb frew do Iu't. : " "Then die , you crazy nigger , " shouted the bralteman ; "think I'm goln' to waste a leaden on you ? " When the conductor and the brakeman had emptied their guns al the gang , the en gineer opened the throttle and tacked away with the bullets rattling on his front end nnd smashing the glass li. the cab windows. Upon arriving at Shady Rill they found that only the tip of one of the negro's fingers had been shot away and when the engineer had bathed It In block oil , bound It up with a rag and kicked the negro three or four times the fellow was ablt to take his place at the furnace door. The cciiductor * Instructed the operator to report what had taken place to the army ofllccr In charge ot the railway and then went over to the Shady Kill plantation to warn the women there of the coming of the 'bushwhackeis. He had been over once or twleo for supplies , which were given. If not grudgingly , reluctantly , for how were thesa poor women whoso fathers and liusbamls nnd brothers wore down there where th steady , mcnotonous booming of cannon spoke of danger and death , to smile upon the people of the north ? These men were come Into the country , the women were able to per suade themselves , to lake the property o' the people and lay the country waste ; < so now , when the conductor lifted his hat lu the presence of the venerable dame and her proud daughter , the women drew themselves Up and looked down upan him from the veranda. "If they ah no'tho'n soldiers , I reckon they can't mo'rn kill us , and If they ah Bouthe'n soldiers they ah southo'n gentlemen - men , so wo might better take ouah chances with them than with yoj all , who ah not soldiers at all. " "Neither arc these soldiers ; they arc bush whackers and murderers. Come , I beg cf you , let mo help you to .escape. " At that moment the sound of musketry was heard from down behind the orchard acid n moment later an old white-haired wench came falling around the house , rolled up the veranda steps and threw herself at the feet of her young mistress. "Ko1 do lawd , honey , " she howled , "do wood Ml'ly full o' Yankees. I fought dey dun been our fo'.ks , case dco dun hab on blue clos , but inlnlt dat fool Jim poke his head obeli do fence an' shout 'Oil out dls yeah o'chad , ' dec all bang loose at him , an' fo' the Lawd , honey , ree dun tak' ho liea't out on' cat It right fo' my pie eyes.

"It's all'a mistake to ( .uppose that'the only grod Indian Is a dead Indian , " said it man In the employ of the United States , fresh from the Crow reservation to the Hel ena Independent. "I've Just como from a plaro where there are good live Indians and many of them , too. I used to think that I knew a thing or two about cflir tribal In dians , but I lately come to the conclusion that I had known mighty little about them , a.'lef 11. "When I was among the Crow Indians nlno years ago If you had told mo that In a few years these tame Indians would be farming , digging Irrigation canals and I working for wages I would have told you j firmly , but politely , I hope , that you were a fool , "Well , this has all been accomplished i on the Crow reservation and more. The In- dlans there arc fanning , or. many of them I arc , and are making a success of their work , ! is" . "This year the Indians have raised , some fine crops , and they arc beginning to show signs of prosperity and thrift. They are not.doing as well as they will do In five ycaro from now , but that can not bo ex pected. A largo r r cent of tlfo farming has been carried on 'by communities , but that system has not proved satisfactory. It never did any place In the world , and II won't there , for there are always some morn Industrious and thrifty persons In each community who feel , and doubtless with Justice , lhat they do not get their share of the proceeds at the end of the year , while there" are others too Itzy to work much , who get about as much out of the community property as the thrifty. | hard-working class. In tlmo , It Is bound I to como to Individual farms on all parts of the reservation , for that Is the only satis factory way to manage the business.

Work was commenced on I them In 1890 , I believe , and since then eight , big cana's , carrying suiliclct.it water to irri- ' en to from 2,000 to 10,000 acres each , hive I been completed and arc now In use , while a ninth , the largest ditch or all , Is being con structed. This big canal will extend from the mouth of the Illg Horn canyon about forty- j five miles to a point within live miles efFort Fort CLeter. The water , you know , is taken from the Dig Horn river , down which tha oaual extends for the first five miles. Nine miles of the canal have been built. "The character of the \vork on this canal must certainly Impress any one , and par ticularly the iperson who 'has ' allowed him self to 'believe ' that Indians are absolutely I worthless. All the canals constructed by the government on the reservation were built mainly by the Indians themselves. The skilled labor for the most part , of course , was taken from the ranks of the whites , but out of about 175 men now working on the canal there are only thirty or forty white men. I was told iby the superintendent In charge 'that the Indians were becoming skilled In the various branches of the work A'l.ile moat of the Indians are mere laborers , here are some who are on the executive force. There are several Indian gang fore men and sub-bossea and they do their work well. "The strangest part of 'this ' work to me Is the fact that thcf Indians delight to labor. I am told that there Is not the least trouble in securing laborers from among the Indians. In fact , there Is an oversupply all the time , and sometimes this becomes so annoying that the agent is requested to call some of the bucks off. There are cases on record where the Indian police have been offered , and paid , too , sums ranging from $1 up by Indians who desired to 'bo ' overlooked in the selection of those who were to be sent away. The laborers are paid $1.50 a day and the men with teams get $3 a day. Those who have positions as foremen get even better wages. They wvo their money , as a rule , and invest it in sensible ways. "Tho big canal will carry water enough to Irrigate about 50,000 acres of lend. That part that is built now , or the upper portion of It , at least. Is thirty feet broad at the bottom tom , and It will carry a stream eight feet deep a veritable river In Itself. The walls of the canal are twenty feet high at Its head. This great height was necessary , as the Dig Horn river in the sjrlng occasionally gets very high.

"No , tly for your lives , " said the conductor , for oven as he spoke ho caw a couple of men riding miller ttio apple trees , The women saw them , too , and throwing on whatever lay In reach In the way of wrais , hurried over to the train. The old degrees , etlll telling her story , went with the two woiuui and helped them Into the caboose. New the two robbers who had ridden through Iho orclnrd saw the trainmen and Imme diately opened lire. The conductor and the brakcman , wa king backward , kept the ili-ri- fieradoes back , killing one of their horses , 'Just as the trainmen reached the caboose the conductor was shot and fell near the rail , ffhe real of the band had come to the rescue of their comrades and now the lead was rain ing upon the sldo of the car.

To the Editor of The Uee : On accoiint-of the fact that I observed In The Ueo and World-Herald of last Sun day the same report of the telephone com pany's sldo ot "our late unpleasantness , " oven to the Introductory phrase which Im- plleo that you "asked for a brief statement by a representative of the company , " I feel warianted l < i believing one was a carbon copy of the other , Instigated and paid for by the company. On that account I feel It fully as Important to correct a few of the grossest nilsstatemeiiM made by the "representative. " I do not contend ( Vat the court In Inquir ing into the rcasonabV.ress of a $3 rate Is a legislative function. Mycceitentlon Is that chapter 15 of the 'statutes , adopting the com mon law , was the necessary legislative func tion to authorize the "courts to make'Hio In quiry sought. The common law requires that the compensation of common carriers shall bo reasonable. That being the Inw Is leg islation our courts must enforce It. The late fixed by law bcltif , ' what is reasonable , lathe/ than an arbitrary rate , the comts must bs resorted to iti order to determine It , Just as Is necciisary .between individuals when nn rate is agieed upon for service , the com mon law IIxes It at what trie courts find to be reasonable. 1 In the mandamus' carte referred to I do not ask the court to ilereo the future ainl llx latex , but only to Inqulro into a past trans action the tender of $3jnd f.cid whether as a. citizen , entitled to the use of telephone service , I offered to perform the conditions which were necessary to entitle mo to such sorvlCL- . As to the point , ( hat any one could bring such f. suit and that different popple would Institute them before different judges , , and tl-it these courts would differ aa to rates , what of It ? If they are too low the company may appeal. Hesldes , are eiot Individuals liable to be sued , annojeil and even black mailed ? Yet Is that any reason for opining law anil favoring anarchy ? The company will not bo bsthercj with thtpo expensive OHienslvo to the Indlvlduu. as well as to the eonii-any when the company furnishes servIce - Ice at a rcos.ciable rate , Again , re pealing to the forum of morals , as the company did , rather than icly upon Its record , I assert that 't Is more difllcult for that cumbersome body , the legislature , meeting for a short period once in two years , to attend to all other busi- ncsij and figure out reasonable rates ( "run telephone companies" ) than It is for a court which Is eternally In existence to make the inquiry. The company Knows thl.i too well , but would prefer to have the legislature gucitis , and then appeal to a court. Common carriers oinnot rrst under the ab surd Impression that they are amenable to no law. They are amenable to the common law , until a statutory law alters the situation ; and In every event the law , whether commoner or statutory , will be upheld and enforced by our courts. In thU cose the company admitted It was charging an unreasonable rate by refusing to make a showing , and electing to stand upon its demurrer.

It says tha company only received an avciago of C.35 per cent annua' dividends in the lost ten -eai . It omitted to state that Its orlglml capital stock of $250,000 , probably containing considerable water , in the begin ning , lins hcon increased four times , until now It Is $1.000.000 watered .1 gnat many hundred per cent. In Omaha alone , 1,600 'phoneH , at J5 each yield $103,000 per an num. Where Is It ppent ? Surely not ony great amount Is paid to Its very few em- p oycs , for I nm tnld that some of the young women at the tcntrnl oHicen arc paid only JIB per month. Again , the company saa the average con versation in Omaha at a $5 rule Is a little moio than 1 cent , and compares the oervlco to that by mall , mentioning pontage , time and stationery , to prove reasonableness In the telephone rate ; and also compares It to the cumbersome rncfpcnger service. It Is aston ishing that It did not show Its advantage ovei walking and de Iverlng mcf-.iagcs per sonally , and asked for the difference oaveil t < > pcdrotrliiiB.
