Take His Place A Luck? Tumble. , '.'
The Cheyennes and Kiowas were on
the warpath in 18G7. Stage stations
were attacked' and" burned, I telegraph
wires were torn down ; and thrown into
wells, and all regular communication
on the overland trail was abandoned. It
was the duty of Captain Powell to estab
lish the stations; leaving a guard of
two or three men at each, and to push
on toward Fort Lupton. The country -was
swarming with Indians, land small
parties of white men moved tauly under
preat periL At one point along tho river
the command met a stage, which pre
sented an amusing sight.' On the top sat
fivo men, armed with long guns and re
volvers, whilo from the inside peered a
woman and threo children. The captain
persuaded the party to place itself under
his protection, as a coach bad been at
tacked the day before and the driver
killed. At the Wisconsin ranch the
coach and ' theead body of the driver
were' brought in. The lining had been
eui out and the woodwork Tfras riddled
with bullets. The savages had torn open
the . mail sack and distributed the let
ters over the plains, after tearing them
open as if in search of money. i
The next day at a spot ealled Living
Springs. 40 miles north of Denver, a
long, lank individual walked into camp;
The stranger called for the .officer tin
command and was conducted to Capt
tain PowelL . " .yX'f.
"The man introduced himself as. a
Methodist minister from Denver," said
Colonel PowelL , "I asked him how he
happened to be eo far from home. He
replied by saying that be wanted to bor
row a gun. '11 a coach comes through,
said he, 'I want to go along and kill
some of those red devils that were after
me yesterday. V I asked the man to sit
down and tell his story. He did so, say
ipg that he was in the coach whose
driver was killed the day before. I
looked at him in astonishment, but lie
told his story in such' a straightforward
I -way that I believed it He explained
that tne aay oeiore was quite warm,
and after dinner he had pulled off his
coat and boots, and being the only pas
senger in the coach had stretched him
self across the seats inside and gone to
sleep. His story went as follows :
'"I had not been napping very long
when I -was awakened by the most in
ternal yelling I ever heard Inrmy life.
I looked out the window and found that
80 or 40 Indians had attacked the coach
and "were pouring volley after volley
into it. The - driver had turned the
horses, and we were making remarkable
speed toward Godfrey's ranch. A shot
struck the driver, and he fell off the
box dead. : " '
".'Then I thought my only chance of
safety lay in reaching the boot and get
ting hold of the lines. I climbed out of
the door, crawled into the seat left va
cant ind discovered to my dismay that
the lines had fallen between the horses
and were dragging on the ground. ' " -
Continuing , his narrative, Colonel
Powell related the story hs it oame from
the lips of the minister. The Indiana
continued their frightful shouts, and the
terrified horses plunged forward at a
pace that threatened to wreck the coach.
The minister climbed; down to the
- tongue of the coach and made a wild i
grab for the lines. At the same moment i
the coach lunged across a gully in the.
sand which had been formed by a storm "
the day before. The minister lost his
hold and fell headlong into the wash
out. The coach passed over him, and a
moment later the pursuing Indians
dashed by on horseback after the coach
and horse3. - i ,
The minister laV pcrfectlv still for
several minutes. Then he peered over
the plain to see that the coach had been
stopped a short distance away , and was
being robbed, ' The minister saw only
one means of. escape, ,lhe Indians
would certainly return for his scalp,
and his' only safety was in a bold dash
for the Platte river, several hundred
yards away. The river was wide and
swift, and he might succeed in crossing
to the opposite bank. The project was,
carried into execution. In his stocking
feet the white -man made a dash through
800 yards of cactus. Two-red devils
attempted to head him oft, .but the
thoroughly aroused minister of the gos
pel far outclassed tho natives of the
plains as. a sprinter. With a prayer
upon his lipa he plunged into the muddy -water
and reached a small island in the
center of the river.
Looking back to the shore, what was
the astonishment of the man to see two
strangers, apparently white men, stand-.
ing and beckoning him to return. .. The
Indians had retired, and the two new
comers' were officers of , Fort Lupton,
who were returning to the fort after a
hunting trip along the river. ; The min
ister swam to shore and was escorted
to a place of safety. I I? '
Colonel Powell remained at Fort
Lupton for several months until the In
dians quieted down and danger had
passed away. . Then ho hauled down the
flag and abandoned the post,' marching
to Denver in order to cross the Platte
river, on his way to Fort Laramie. At
that time the only bridge on the Platte
river between the Missouri river and
the mountains was at Sixteenth street

WASHiNGTONFebruaxy 12. Not
withstandinsf the veilof secrecy with
which the House Territories Committee
sarrounded their meeting this morning,
the fact Is known that a vote was taken
on the Arizona Statehood bill, and - that
the measure was defeated by a vote of
t6. j . - .;:.'...::.
-The signincance of this vote will be
better understood when it is remem
bered that the opposition to the admis
sion of Arizona is based on the objection
that tne grantijnzlof Statehood would
increase the number of free silver advo
cates In the Senate, and this was tbe
primary cause ot the defeat of the bill.
It is also regarded as an i indication of
the sentiment jof the committee witb
reference to the New Mexico and Okla
homa bills, the passage of which in addi
tion to the Arizona . bill, would add six.
new Senators to the list of free coinage
men iu that body. ! r"
- It, is not expected that any action will
be taken by the! House'Foreign Affairs
Committee with reference to the recog
nition cf Cuban belligerency until the
correspondence sent to the House yes

placed in the bands of the members.
It is desired in a resolution looking to
Cuban recognition comes - before the
House, that the different members shall
have a prooer understanding of. the sit
uation in tbe island so that the qaestion
can be more Intelligently discussed; Mr.
Adams, of Pennsylvania, who is the
chairman of, the sub-committee having
the subject in charge, does not expect
to call his committee together until next

DEMOCRATIC SENATORS
Decide ia Csuoui TJpon Bominat'oaa for Benate
Employe Will Oppoie tbe Tariff Bill to the
En aad Protest AtatDit Its Paaiage. .
By Teleeraphto the Morning Star. , f-
WASHiNGTON,Feb. 12. At a caucus
of Democratic Senators this afternoon,
it was decided to unanimously endorse
tbe resolution that will be called up in
the Senate to-morrow by Mr. Sherman,
selecting Mri Alonzo Stewart, of Iowa,
as assistant doorkeeper of tbe Senate
and amended by Mr. Gorman, to include
the selection of Mr. Bernard Laytoa,
of Ohio. Democrat, as acting, assistant
doorkeeper. Mr. Lay ton is tbe present
encumbent, i .
After this, was done aid , the
caucus was on tbe eve of ad i burn
ing, Mr. Hill suggested that it
would be I advisable 1 to consider
what sbcu'd -Xbe the ! policy of
the party when the Tariff bill
was called up by Mr. Morrill, in accor
dance with the notice be gave and which
Jie will carry into effect as soon as the
Urgent Deficiency bill is out of tbe way.
No conclusion on this point was reach
ed, but another caucus will be held when
the Republicans have matured their
plans. Speeches were made by Messrs.
Vilas. Pugh and . Hill, while others en
gaged in tbe discussion informally.- The
consensus cf opinion was .that tbe Dem
ocrats should, oppose the Tariff bill to
tbe end and protest against us passage.
It the temper of the Democrats may
betaken as a basis upon which to form
a judgment, jthey will not agree to any
arraneement whereby an early vote may
be taken on this bill. On the contrary,
it will be postponed as long as possible,
and its ultimate defeat!, sought by 'the
interposition; of j various amendments,
thus seeking to attack successfully the
Republican caucus agreement that no
amendments shall be made- to the bill.
The subject of silver aad the silver
substitute, now, a part of tbe bill, was
not touched upon, the Senators present
evidently looking upon tbe silver ques
tion as one to be tabooed in a caucus
where the purpose was to bring about
thorough harmony. Mr. Lindsay's sugar
amendment and various others' were
mentioned, but no expret sion of opinion
as to the respective merits of any of them
was given, jne caucus, so lar as tne
tariff was concerned, was totally without
result.
