A Yankee In Red Paint.

Tho campoodies southeast OF towE
wero tho sccno of unusual excitement
yesterday. 1t was aocidontly discover
ed that one of the head sachems, who
had lived on the Walker river rescrva-
tion for years, WAS q white man. How
tho discovery was made IL not stated.
The Indians were 30 wor<cd up over
tho discovery that tho renegade. fearing
for his life. came TO town. Upon being
interviewed by reporter, ho said he
was 3 native Of Massachusetts and for
ty-sesen years old. He became en-
tangled in a scrape when he was eigh-
teen years old. and. running away
Mopa home, followed tho sea for two
years. Arriving at San Francisco no
Joined the rush to the mines After a
pretty rsugh experience going from
camp to camp. he finally, after the col
lapse of the Meadow lake boom. joined
thePiutes at thep pyramid reservation. He
remained there until ho had fully mas
tered the language and habits OF his
dusky friends, and then. painting him
self and assuming the garb of tho red
men, came TO Walker lake. where. in
consideration Of his able advice ia the
councils of his tribe. ke was elected n
chief aud allowed three wives. He says
that although he sometimes longed for
news from the Bay state, hc was per-
fectly content to remain whore he was,
rs he found the roaming, Independent
life of the Piutes just tho thing for a
maa tired Of tho busy scenes of oiviliza-
tion. Now that be has the paint wash
ed Of and has donned a decent suit of
clothes. he is very intelligent looking
man, and 1t is a wonder that ho could
have kept himself from his race 80
many years. Lie will probably retarn
to the home Of his yonfh in a few days,

ono end is much hcaYicr than the other.
ono end bciag closed with n tightly
fitting cap, screwed on after charging.
The interior OF the shell is divided into
three compartments. each separated
by heavy platc-glass cap; the diyis-

with sulphurjc acid, aud tho next with
g,yccruc, and the outer one with nit

circular piccc of metal. tho inuer end
resting against the first glass cap; tho
outer cap is then screwed on, and tho
projectile is ready for service. Accord
