The war department just now is in the
midst of a disc::ussion as to the proper dis
p'sal of the Apache lndia:s, whose cap
ture has co;.t the Government so much
bhod and treaasure. There are a class of
military pundits who imagine that the
hunt for these murderers and thieves has
been warfare and that the Indians are en
titled to bheliicrent rights. When a
scure or two of Indians, who have been
living on a reservation, fed and cared for
by the G.iverment, stealthily leave there
:rd engage in a raid throughout a wide
extent of country, not seeking troops to
fight, but robbing .and murdering leacea
bl) working people, men, women and
ch'ildren i=_ their homes; obscenely and
i'.fndi-hlyv torturing and mutilating men
,vishilng women---is that "war" any more
i h:m piracy?
And when these miscreants, incarnations
ol( cruelty and brutish lust, are pursued,
m:.nd after long pursuit, either caught or
cc-lpelh ( d to give themselves up because
they are out of ammunition, out of food and
so surrounded that escape and further
deviltry is impossible-is that "capitula
tion" of a hostile force engaged in legiti
mate warfare? Are they "prisoners of
war,? They are simply felons, murder
ers, assassins, ravitshers, brigands, pirates,
caught red handed by a pursuing force, v
military posse, ministers of outraged
justice.

John W. Elliott is one of the clerks at

nearly a year. He was formerly the hut

husband had to go North, he gave her
the choice of staying at home with her
mother or going with him. She stayed
with her mother and a legal separation
followed soon after. Mr. Elliott married

A Negro Hugs a Panther.
XW-hile a n:rag of negroes on a construe
tion train on the Mississippi Valley Rail
road wa: repairinig the track about two E
miles sou~th of Shelby Station, a panther
c:tie fromn the woods and attacked ia negro
1ai, orer, priginging upon his shoulder. The e:
itnegro immediatety grabbed the panther in cu
his arms an!d gave him an old-fashioned
t hear hul_, not forgetting at the same time
f to yell for his life. The panther evident
e ly became more freightened than the negro,
changed his tactics and tried to escape, but
the negro was too much for him, ashe held
a him until Conductor Calliwell could get
i his gun and come to his assistance, when
r Calliwell shot the panther in the nmegro's E
e arms. General Manager J. M. Edwards C
e came along in his car shortly afterwalrds
o and took the animal aboard and brought it -
1- to the city. It Measures six feet from tip
d to tip and is a ferocious specimen. Maj. i
d Edward is authority for the veracity of the
above.
