CHICAGO, Jan. 29-Gen. Crook was
interviewed this afternoon with reference
to the dispatches in the Pacific coast
papers criticising the proposed removal OF
the Chiricahua Apaches to the Indian
Territory. With reference to the charge
that Chatto was not faithful and that
while serving as scout he furnished the
hosIiles with ammunition and information,
Gen, Crook said:
1T is all false. These stories are being
created tor a purpose. Chatto was not
only faithful but 1t was due entirely to
his efforts and of his Indian scouts that

time: The terms were thoroughly under

Gatewood with two of Chatto's scouts

Of the renegades upon promise that they
should not be harmed. and should be sent
to Join their families in Florida.
1t is very improbable that Chatto was
planning a fresh outbreak at the time
he was sent to Florida, as he and a dele.
cation of chiefs had gone to Washington
in June, where he was given the medal
alluded to. Nor is it probable hat his
old scouts would have Sc 'ured the surren
der of the party with Geronimo had they
contemplated an outbreak. Instead, of
Chatto being sent back to his iarm on the
reservation with the delegation they we're
sent to Florida. where they received the
same treatment as the hOstIles whose sur
render had been secured by their efforts.
These Indians are now thoroughly sub
dued and there is not the slightest danger
of their becoming troublesome again.
All they ask is that they may be placed
where they can have ground to cultivate
in order that they may become self
sustaining. The way these Chiricahua
allies have been treated is an outrage and
reflects on the honor of the government"

A DOG STORY.
A "Reminiscences of Old Days When Crino-
line Ruled.

A "Reminiscences of Old Days When Crino-
line Ruled.
1t happened in the old crinoline
days. My aunt, who was then living
in a country town, had gone out shop
ping one morning and was standing
in High street, talking to a lady
friend, a Mrs. Gumworthy, the doc
tors wife. She (my aunt had on a
new crinoline thatmorning, in which,
to use her own expression, she rather
fancied herself. 1t was a tremendous
ly big one, as stiff as a wire fence. 1t
set beautifully. They were standing
in front of jenkins, the Diapers; and
my aunt thinks that it Uhe crinoline)
must have got caught up in some
thing, and an opening thus left be-
tween it and the ground.
However this may be, certain it is
hat an absurdly large and powerful
bulldog, who was fooling round about
there at the time, managed, somehow
or other, to squirm in under my aunts
crinoline and effectually imprison
himself beneath it. Finding himself
suddenly in a dark and gloomy cham

front of him. AS he flew, he of course,
carried it with him, and with the
-%crinoline, of course, went my aunt.
aunt herself did not know what had
happened. Nobody had seen the dog
creep inside the crinoline.
All the people did see was a staid
and eminently respectable middle
aged lady, suddenly, and without any
apparent reason, throw her umbrella
down in the road, fly up High street
at the rate of ten miles an hour, rush
across at the imminent risk of her life,
dart down it again on the other side,
rush sideways, like an excited crab,
into a grocer's shop, rush three times
round the shop, upsetting the whole
stock IL trade, come out of the shop
backward and knock down a postman,
dash into the roadway and spin round
twice, hover for q moment, undecided,
OF the curb, and her away up the hill
again, as if she had only Just started,
all the while screaming out at the top
of her voice for somebody to stop her.
Of course everybody thought that she
vas mad. The people flew before her
like chaff before the wind. In less
than ten seconds High street was a
desert. The townsfolk scampered into
their shops and houses and barricaded
the doors. Brave men dashed out and
caught up little children and bore
them to places of safety amid cheers.
Carts and carriages were abandoned,
while the drivers climbed up lamp
posts. What would have happened
had the show gone on much longer
whether myaunt wouldhave been shot,
or the fire engine brought into requi-
sition against her, it is impossible,
having regard to the terrified state of
the crowd, to say. Fortunately for
her, she became exhausted. With one
despairing shrek she gave way, and
sat down on the dog, and peace reigned
once o in the sweet rural town.

Sir Nicholas Kemeys, Bart, of Cefn
Mably, was accounted one of the
strongest men of his day, and a ira
dition of him, corroborative of his
great strength, still exists in Glamor-
ganshire. The story. runs that one
summer evening, as Sir Nicholas was
walking in the Deer park at Cefn
Mably with some guests, an athletic
man leading an ass, upon which was
his wallet, approached, and, respect
fully saluting the company, said he
humbly supposed that the huge gen
tleman he had the honor of addressing
was the strong Sir Nicholas Kemeys.
The stranger being answered in the
affirmative, declared himself q noted
Cornish wrestler who had never been
thrown, and that having heard from a
Welchman, whom he had met at
Bristol, of the great bodily strength of
Sir Nicholas, had made this journey
to see his honor, adding that, if It
were not asking too great a favor, he
trusted Sir Nicholas would condescend
to try a fall" with him. The baronet,
smiling, assented, but advised the
C~ornishman first to go to the buttery
and get refreshment.
The Cornishman declined with
many thanks, saying he was quite
fresh; SO they fell to wrestling, and in
a moment the Cornishman was thrown
upon his back. The baronet, assisting
him to arise, asked him if he was not
satisfied Of his strength. The reply
was, mot unless you throw me over
the park wall! The tale continues
to say that this was readily complied
with, when the unsatisfed wrestler
entreated hat Sir Nicholas would
throw his ass after him over the wall,
which was accordingly doneI
A place is still shown in the ancient
park wall as the scene of the exploit.
A fine picture now at Cefn Mably, in
the possession of Col. Kemeys Tynte,
represents Sir Nicholas as of great
stature and apparent gigantic strength.

Special Dispatch to The Leader.
DENVER, Jan. 29.-At Florence, Colo,
last night, another first class producing
oil well was obtained by the Florence oil
company. The well filled up about 900
feet in less than two hours and it is the
opinion of experienced oil men that the
well is good for 200 barrels per day. The
well, the depth of which is 1850 feet.
was completed in exactly twelve days and
four hours, the quickest time on record in
the coal oil field. This is the tenth well
obtained within an area of one square
mile and it fully demonstrates that there
is no limit to the supply of the oleaquious
fluid. The daily production of the
Florence Oil company has been increased
