HKT.ICNA. Mont.. July 2. Fort Keoith,
soon to be abandoned bjr order of the
War department. Is In a region of historic
interest. It was named for Miles Keogh,
brevet colonel nd captain of the Seventh
cavalry, who died with Custer about
ninety miles from the Kite of the post In
1171. The town two milea east of the
post la named for General Nelson A.
Mils, founder of Fort Koogh. The
county la named for General Custer and
near It are the town of Forsyth, Terry
and Camp Crook, all nnmed for famous
Indian fighter.
Fort Keogh waa a direct result of the
Custer fight on the Little Big Horn.
Dozen's of Indian campaign! have started
from It alnce Mile built It In 1S77. The
post waa originally established In tha
same year as the Custer fight and was
at first merely a camp known as tha
Tongue River cantonment. It la about
one mile from the Yellowstone river and
. a. mue ana a nair irom tongue river in
the lower Yellowstone valley.
J Miles used tl V camp aa the base of the
I ' expeditions he led In 1 876 and 1877, aa a
j result of which he forced the surrender of
Bitting Bull near where Terry now Is and
broke the . Indian power In this region.
The alte waa a natural one for a military
pnst and It wan determined to establish a
permanent military post there.
When Keogh Waa Built.
Keogh was built yeara before a railroad
reached the valley. All material used In
Ha construction and not produced In the
country was brought from the east by
steamboat and by wagons from Bismarck,
N. D. Oxen ric the draught hnlmals of
the period and the bullwhacker waa a dis
tinct frontier type.
The country produced little except meat
tn those days and the government shipped
by boat and ox team practically every
thing except the lumber used In con
atructlng the buildings. A large sawmill
waa brought and set up In the Bad Lands,
fourteen miles from the sit of the post.
The lumber was sawed there and hauled
by team to the post.
Soldiers did much of the actual work In
addition to guarding the mill and the teams.
The route to the mill lay through extremely
rough country, and mllea of road had to be
built by excavation and a dozen bridges
bad to ho put up. The road built by the
soldiers more than thirty years ago la In
use and In good condition today.
The fort waa built around a square of
about forty acrea. Improvements were
made 'from time to time, but much of the
fort is as Milea and his soldiers made It In
1877.
The Fort Keogh military reservation la
ten miles square and has been pronounced
suoond only to Fort Riley aa a field for
maneuvers. Every possible condition of
topography la in It. ,
It begins with a broad, level valley at tha
river and extends southward through tha
bad lands. It embracea part of two large
rlvar, abundant timber, brush and small
af creeks.
T Th wlda va,,ey wlth the ,lin" to
i" 'south makes a splendid artillery range.
The natural advantages of tha place led
to a suggestion a few yeara ago that the
fort be made a brigade post and that an
artillery range be established there, but
the suggestion was not adopted.
Early Days at Miles City.
The town of Miles City, not less noted
than the post, and known In the early days
aa one of the toughest spots on the map,
owes Ha existence to tha post. Hugh arly,
a veteran frontiersman and scout for Gen
eral Mllea during the Indian daya, says It
waa built as the result of a fight between a
civilian and a soldier.
"There waa alwaya a lot of gamblera and
buffalo hunters hanging around the army
camps In those daya," says Karly, "and the
Tongue river cantonment was no exception.
One of tha toughs and a big soldier got
In a flizht one dav and UDset the whole
I ii "The general (Miles) broke up'the row and
1 issued an order that no civilian would be
H allowed to Amp nearer than two miles from
I . the post. I waa working for tha govern-
ment then and that afternoon I rowed the
general across Tongue river in a skiff.
"The general had some men and a survey
or's ohaln with him. He had the men meas
ure exactly two mllea from the river and
aent word to the campfullowera that they
would have to camp below that spot.
"The town atarted that very day. I picked
up some old drift logs and threw them to
gether to make a ahack. It waa the first
. house in the town and there waa a faro
gams running In It that very night. In
derision the gang named the town Miles
City."
When tha soldiers moved from the can-
Vtonment to tha present site of the post tha
town moved a corresponding distance up
tha Yellowstone to where It Is today.' It
. kept Its name and also kept two mllea from
tha post.
It retained Its toughness through tha
I buffalo daya and the ear liar days of tha
stock business.. "No Bible west of Bis
marck, and no God west of Miles City" was
a common aaytng until well Into the 'Wi.
Tha. buffalo hunter and the soldier were
always excellent friends., but tha cowboy
v and tha aoldier did not mix well. The re
sult of this condition waa many a battle In
Mllea City.

all bands of host ties roving about

oaalonally even after tha railroad
Ared by one of hla Indian scouts near
Pine Ridge. Casey waa tba originator of
tha Idea to eohre the Indian problem by
making aoldlera of the Indians. He or
ganized two troope of Indian soldiers at
Keogh. The scheme was not eucceasful
nnd waa dropped aoon after Casey'a death.
The Indiana could not be made to under
stand discipline and could not be educated
to living In houses.
Oa Utory the Indians Told.
One of the Interesting stories of Keogh
grew out of tha experience of a young
lieutenant named Marshall, wtio waa as
signed to the command of one of the Indian
troops. Marshall came to Keogh fresh from
West Point. The Indians had all the con
tempt for the tenderfoot that made life un
comfortable for the easterner In those daya.
When Marshall left tha post with his In
dians for a two weeks practice march
the older officers expected a good story
when he returned. They got the atory.
but the Indians told It, not Marshall, and
the Indiana did not regard It as humorous.
Junction, Mont., opposite the mouth of
the Big Horn river, was dead bard then.
Marshall camped near it one night, posted
his sentries and went to sleep In ills tent.
The Indians secured some halrtrigger
whisky from Junction, filled themselves
with It and decided to have some fun with
the tenderfoot lieutenant. As a prelim
inary Jest they sent a dozen bullets from
their carbines through the officer's tent.
Marshall came out In a hurry, aa they
had expected, but the events that followed
were somewhat unexpected.
Marshall was not large, but ha was well
knit and athletic. He bad a calm tray
eye and a prominent chin, two outward
Indications the Indiana had not taken into
their calculations.
It took the officer only an Instant to
discover that some of the soldiers were
drunk, but he did not realise that the
entire command was Intoxicated. He di
rected a sergeant near him to arrest the
rioters. The sergeant's answer was a war
whoop and a drunken rush at the lieu
tenant. A savage blow In the face with Marshall's
fist put the sergeant down. The Indiana
were never able to agree on Just what
happened after that, but they remem
bered that Marshall took the sergennt'j
carbine by the barrel and mingled with
them.
After he had worked through hla troop
the members of It that were not down
with broken heads were falling over one
another In their anxiety to surrender, or
fleeing through the darkness. There was
never a doubt after tht as to who wes
boss of Marshall's troop, and when he
returned to Keogh with his Indians they
were ao thoroughly under control that they
would come and eat out of his hand, as
one of his old-timers put it.
Joke on General Miles.
Oeneral Milea was the victim of a Joke
near Keogh, according t the diary of one
of his old trumpeters, kept in 1877.
It was necessary to move the command
across the liver on one of the expeditions.
The river was bank full as a result of the
June rise, common to this region. The
general essayed the passage of the river
on a raft, which got stuck In midstream
and waa left in this undignified position
about four hours. The old- trumpeter's
memoirs Insist this waa a Joke, but the
writer does not reveal who was responsible
for sending the general's raft on the sand
bar. Ten yeara ago the abandonment of Fort
Keogh would have been resisted vigorously
on the ground that residents of the region
needed tha protection of the soldiers
against the Indians, Aa a matter of fact,
Indiana have killed a few sheep herders
near Keogh within the last ten yeara, but
these affaire can no longer be dignified aa
uprisings. They are simply murders fol
lowing thefts, and the residents of Custer
county appreciate the civil authorltlea are
able to handle the Indians now.
The Indiana have decreaaed from thou
sands to a few hundreds. Some of them
ara farmers, others are working aa .day
laborers and teamsters on the new railroad
being built through the valley. None of
them need be viewed with alarm.
Still, the older citizens, many of whom
took part In the Indian fighting of the Yel
lowstone, Tongue, Rosebud, Powder and
Big Horn rlvera with the army officers
who have left their names In the country,
view the passing of Keogh with regret
It was worth while. If only for its memor
ies, as President Roosevelt aald of the civil
war. "

IXNDON, July C-Special.)-A flrat term
cadet waa strolling In the grounds of the
Royal Naval college recently when ha waa
met by a fourth term cadet, who noticing
that the younger boy was fresh to the
place, apoke to him.
"Hullo." he aald, "you a flrat termer?'
"Yea," added the new boy.
"What's your name?"
"Edward." .
"Edward what? Haven't you got
other name? What'a vaur full name?1
"Edward of Wales."
The elder boy whistled.
un. ne saia, -youra the chap, ara
you?" and he walked on.
There is no snobbish spirit at the Royal
Naval colllega and prlnoea are Judged by
their personal merits alone. Indeed, Prince
Edward of Walea, manly little fellow that
be is, la under tha disadvantage of having
to encounter lads who shrink from the sus
picion of favoritism toward a highly placed
school fallow. That Prince Edward la ac
corded no epeclal favor is demonstrated
by tha faot that many of tha 400 cadeta in
the college do not even know hlra.
Prince Edward, it is declared, is Just a
typical cadet among cadets, fighting the
battlea every boy baa In school life and
enjoying himself greatly the while. He
dropped Into the waya of tha school quickly
and from the flrat allowed a hearty enjoy
ment of the cup of cocoa and the bisculta
with which aoon after (:S0 the cadeta start
the day. He early became an adept In the
rush for meals at the sound of the bugle.
From 7 to 7:46 the boys ara at atudy. and
then when the bugle aounda they leave
their leasona and go at the double for the
dining hall. Prince Edward, aa becomes a
lusty boy. Is often the van.
It is regarded by the college authorities
the hlgheat commendation of him that he la
Just an ordinary cadet. Only once was he
guilty of a boyish informality and it waa
In his flrat daya and on an occasion that
would try the heart of any school boy away
from borne.
An official- was taking htm round the en
gineering shop, explaining some of the
things that ha would have to learn In the
future when newa cams that hla father,
tha prince of Wales, waa In the college.
Prince Edward forgot, tha official, forgot
tha machinery, and fled aa fast as his legs
could carry him to see his parent.
BERLrN, July 6,-Speclal.)-Yet another
anonymous "high placed personage" seeks
to enlighten the public on the Eulenburg
affair through the medium of the European
news agencies having close connections
with the German government. According
to this particular "personage," the only
political Importance of the Llebenberg
clique arose from "private communications"
to the emperor with regard to certain
events and tendencies which formed a kind
of special egotistic occupation on the part
of Count Cuno Moltke. His majesty waa
accustomed, It is stated, to ask his min
isters on such occasions why, he had not
heard this and that In social circles and
not from the heads of the departments
concerned. The authority continues:
"On the other hand. It la true that In
autumn last year a number of amateur
) politicians, partially animated by personal
hostility, thought that the time had come
to attempt a stroke against Prince Bulow.
They believed the chancellor waa really a
sick man and did not ascribe to him the
strength necessary to bring the ahlp of
state which, according to not merely
Isolated opinions, had begun to drift once
more back to a steady course.
'Characteristic of the schemes of those
days was the expression then freqently
uttered that 'the new chancellor must have
qualifications for the adjutant general,' by
which It was sought to indicate a person
ality who would be agreeable to the em
peror and at the same time be prepared
to severe measures. Thus arose the Idea
of putting forward the chief of general
staff of the army, General of Infantry
Hellmuth von Moltke, and the preparation
of hla appointment aa chancellor was begun
by all of th petty and Ingenious means
which Prince Fulenburg, Cuno Moltke and
their consorts alone had at their dis
posal. 4
Moltke Was Not Advised.
To General von Moltke himself nothing
waa known of these plans. The upright
and straightforward soldier, who assuredly
had never cherished political ambitions and
aspirations, waa apparently, with Intention,
left In the dark as to the secret Ideas of
the clique One may well question their
chances of success. But before the plan
could be submitted at all tn the quartera
where the decision lay a notice In the
Berliner Tageblatt, which came from
shrewd parliamentary circles, and In which
the candidature of Genera! von Moltke was
mentioned, acted . as a countermine and the
Intrigue was thereby successfully brought
to an end. The chancellor had nothing
whatever to do with the article In the
Tageblatt. It was merely grounds In part
of a delicate end, and, at any rate, of a
personal nature, which has now been the
occasion of the removal of the entire circle
of Intriguers from the court.
"The emperor la much upeet over the
bitter dlsllluslonnienta of the last few weeks
and all the more ao as It has been lrref
ragably. proved that.- many of the pro
ceedings which have led to the alterations
tn his entourage had long been open
secrets and had been purposely withheld
from the knowledge of the monarch. It la
consequently not Impossible that tha dis
missal of Counts Moltke and Hohenau from
active service may be followed by still
further changes. Precisely those who
should have been the first to Inform tha
emperor omitted to do so and it was left
to the manly and outspoken utterances of
the crown prince, who had learned all the
facta from the young and healthy-minded
offlcera,- to bring about the necessary
changes in the little-worthy circumstances
at court."
Appeal of Peasant Woman.
Tho appeal of the peaaant woman Meyer
against the decision that the little boy
whom she declares to be her son la the
aon of the Countess Kwllecka haa reached
an interesting stage. Jt will be remem
bered that In 19U3 the Countess Kwllecka
waa charged with passing off the son of
the peasant woman Meyer as her own In
order to obtain possession of some valuable
estatea. She waa acquitted. Then the
peasant woman brought an action against
her claiming possession of the child. Once
again the countesa won.
A few days ago when the appeal trial
began the peasant's counsel asked that the
countesa should be made to declare on oath
that the child is hers. The lawyer of the
countess protected on the ground that the
original trial had settled that question.
The Judge has now ruled that the countess
must give this evidence on oath, otherwise
the little boy declared hers at the trial In
19f)3 would be adjudged the aon of Meyer
and handed over to 'her custody.
Anarchist groups all over Europe have
laMueoT a secret summons to their comrades
In different countrfles to send delegates
to an International congress to be held at
Amsterdam from August 20 to August 31
to promote, the attainment of anarchism
among all civilized nations.
Great importance is attributed in anar
chistic circles to the congresa. John Tur
ner of London and Monatte of Parla will
apeak on the necessity of permeating
trades unions with anarchistic doctrines.
Dr. Frlorteberg of Berlin and Malatesta,
the great Italian anarchist, will present
reports on the organization ot a simul
taneous general atrike in all trades of all
European countries. In spite of the secrecy
maintained by the anarchists their plana
are pretty well known to the police and
their movementa in Amsterdam will be
carefully watched. "

American Manufacturers at Once De

Could Not Participate In ,
Checking Cars.
PARIS, July . (Special.) French news
papera are discussing with Interest the of
fer made by the authorities In several states
on the continent to a Belott, Wis., company
for speed-o-meters which might enable the
local police to apprehend the owners of
automobilea supposed to be violating the
speed lawa In the varioua localities. The
Swiss authorities, (or instance, have been
very anxious to obtain from the American
concern a giant auto-meter which tells the
rata of speed at which a machine Is trav
eling and which can be read blocks away,
the figures which register on the large ma
chine being nearly a foot In height. It has
been suggested that all automobiles ought
to be forced by legislation to sdopt these
machlnea and that It would then be Im
possible for the owners of automobiles to.
misrepresent the rate of speed at which
these machines are traveling In violation of
the laws. Unfortunately for the authori
ties, however, the Warners control tha pat

which cannot be made to record time and
distance accurately In any other way ex
cept through the use of the magnetic prin
ciple upon which these European patents
are based.
Mr. A. P. Warner the general manager of
the company, haa just informed the Swiss
government that he haa already refused a
similar order from the authorities of Chi
cago, It being contrary to the policies of
the company to manufacture anything
which might be regarded aa a "apotter"
by the automoblllats themselves. The
French papers have been educated to be
lieve that American manufacturers will

Price of Bread Hlarher.
In sympathy with England and tha United
Statea the price of flour, and consequently
of bread, has gone up and will further rise
here very shortly. For a wonder Franca
at present is not self-sufficing In the pro
ductlon of wheat. By the and of the next
three months, closing July 31 next, the
country will have consumed 27,000,000 hec
tolitres of wheat. The stock In hand to
cover that period is 25,000,000 hectolitres.
France will therefore have to purchase at
least 2,000,000 hectolitres from abroad. Pro
posals are made to aerlouBly reduce tem
porarily the customs duty on Imported
wheat.

haa compromised on Lady Qodiva'e coa
tume at the coming pageant. The agitation
against the costume, or, rather, the lack
of costume, in which It waa proposed that
La Mllo as Lady Oodlva should ride
through the city of Coventry has been
successful. The mayor, who threatened to
resign from the committee if the costume
was not modified, haa consented to remain
a member of it In consequence of the fol
lowing message received by the organisers
from La Milo:
"Kindly assure the mayor and all others
they need have no misgivings. A large wig
will practically cover all the body and a
plentiful aupply of chiffon will leave only
the arma and anklea showing. Please con
tradict report about appearing In enamels.
Full pink combined attire will be worn."
The trouble waa caused through sensa
tional dlspatchea published In the United
Statea and republished here to the effect
that scarcely any costume would be used.

disappointed..
