FIGHT OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Dr Frederick Renner Recalls Battle
with Redskins.
STATE WAS IF A TURMOIL
' Had Ralhleaalr Mardere
Settler and Freighters All
A lea the Nebraska
Trail.
Kurope'a war la bring;rg back fight
recollections to Umahana who have been
In conflicts, and among thoae In this lo
cality who have been reminiscing Is Dr.
Frederick Renner, who on August 10, 1SR4,
captained a handful of early settlers In a
successful csmpstgn agalnat Indian at
tacks about twenty miles southwest of
Alexandria. In Thayer county.
Dr. Renner waa officially tilled captain
of Company A, Irst regiment, Second
brigade of the Nebraska volunteers, but
as he looks back at It now. military
formalities were thlnga In dlatiae and It
waa a caae of every man getting busy
and sending Indiana to their happy hunt
ing ground. In thoae deya the redaklna
were not as apt with firearms aa they
later were, and the whites had an edge
on them In the matter of marksmanship.
It waa on August 7 that Captain Renner
and hla band started to meet the on
slaught of the concentrated tribes of In
diana againat helpless white aettlers and
scattered freighters. The whole western
country was then In an uprising agalnat
the redaklna, for they had been extremely
cruel in their treatment of whites, es
pecially the captive women and children.
It was on the third dsy out that the
frontiersmen end Indians met. It was a
running fight and one In which the rain
of bullets ass thick snd continuous.
One after another the redskins dropped
and after many of their number had been
scattered along In a bloody train and re
duced, the rest started on the run for
safety. Tired out by the hard campaign,
tha frontiersmen retired, cotslent with the
work they hsd accomplished in subduing
tha savages. In the particular locality
where the battle occurred there were no
future Indian troublea, and to Dr. Renner
and his steadfast helpers has the credit
of the change been placed.

Most Unusual Spying System
Throughout France Revealed.

Hare Permitted laaealeas

H'opyilght. 1!I. rreea Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Aug 7 (Special Cablegram ta
New Tork World and Omaha Ilea) Ac
cording to the authorities here, most
complete and unusual spying system
were In operation by Germane within the
confines of France, and even of Paris,
ht-fore the declaration o war. Po todny
the police were busy removing all poa
Mble aids to the enemy.
The most extraordinary discovery was
that a company designating itself as the
"Bouillon Kub" (Soup cube), a German
firm doing an Immense business In
Fiance. with compressed meat essences,
was using Its billboard advertisements
for illicit purposes.
Various arrangements of Its cubes on
the lithographs, so that they appeared
In groups of different numbers, or looked
like triangles, or bore certain geometric
relations to each other, all bore hidden
messages Intendedfor the German In
ader At least, so say experts In cryp
tography or secret writing, who made
Ihelr reports to the government.
An innocent-looking sign on the aide
of a road In a department far removed
from the city, according to the decipher
er, meant: 'Thia village haa sto many
inhabitants, so many armed men, ao many
cattle which may be aelxed. ao many
bakeries," and ao on.
To a casual observer the algn would
mean nothing but a suggestion to buy and
use 'The Bouillon Kub," but to a
German regiment It would mean suste
nance and knowledge of Incalculable
volue.
All over France, today, today, city and
village and department authorities were
tearing down the advertisements.
The gendarmes of Versailles today de
scended upon a auspected house near the
Rue Aerodrome, and found there a com
plete wireless telegraph outfit and a large
number of cipher dispatches and docu
ments In German, together with plans '
of the Aerodrome an immerse place
and all the general vicinity of Versailles.

Chief of Police IT. W. Dunn has or
dered the observance of the rules of the

requiring drivers to give warning by

"We intend to keep up the campaign
to force the observance of these rules un

Dunn. "After thst we will summarily
arrest all offenders.'
Chief Dunn says failure to observe
these rules and the croasing regulaUona
