ssThere is man named Crook, who
Is employed by tn military authori-
ties on the frontier lines to hunt down
refractory Indians. The. great excel
lence claimed for Mr., Crook Is, that he

hostile 8 wages of a moment before, are
just as harmless as the b0ulders among
which they lie stretched. He then
