back To Chicago is to establish his identity
as the man who butchered DR.. Cronin.
Geoghegan is well known TO the Chi

Owing to his position on the bench, Mr.
Gresham refused to be interviewed. Judge
Tree, however, talked freely. Judge
Gresham told me himself" said Mr.. Tree,
that he would vote for Mr. Cleveland this
fall. / don't think he is actuated by per-
sonal reasons. He believes that the tariff
Is all wrong, and for that reason cannot
longer vote with the Republican party.
His sympathies are with the people, and
he believes that the Republican party is
now simply an organization in the interest
of trusts aud m onopolists that oppose the
people.
"His accession to the Democracy will
have a powerful effect on the election in
the western states, especially in Indiana,
where Judge Gresham is the idol of fully
half the Republicans. Harrison carried
the state in 1888 by only 5000 majority, and
we have all along figured that his unpopu-
larity at home would give the state to
Cleveland this year. Now that Judge
Gresham has forsaken the Republicans,
the state may be counted as for Cleveland
beyond doubt"

what Sullivan will bank" over $1,000

Some people will laugh when they hear
that John is placing his money in the

the fight at New Orleans, and he will fool
those that prophesied he would have to

A WILD WEST ROMANCE.
An Indian Maiden Appears as the Claim

PHOENIX, Ariz, Oct 3.-There has Just
appeared as claimant to the 81, 10000 es-
tate Of John ID. Walker an Indian girl, 81
years DID, named Juana Walker. John ID.
Walker died last summer in an insane
asylum at Napa, Cal. There were four
claimants, two brothers, a sister, and
Eleanor ID. Walker, IA woman he had re-
Gently married at Tucson. Applications
were made to the probate court of Pinal
county and were resisted by Eleanor ID.
Walker, as the widow. The probate court
passed All order refusing to recognize her
Us his widow and an appeal was taken to
the district court. After a tedious suit,
judgment was given against the alleged
widow, on the ground that the nuptial
knot was tied while Walker was of un-
sound mind.
Walker came to Arizona in the sixties
and lived among the Pima Indians. He
was elected chief and formulated their
language into an alphabet. Attorneys
for Mrs Walker believed that he would
hardly have led the life of a celibate
among the Indians and that perhaps an
alleged mythical Indian maiden whom he
talked of much was really an of spring OF
the chief of the Pimas Acting on this be-
lief they have discovered that there is
resident of Mesa one Juana Walker, a
daughter of John ID. Walker, whose
mother was Pima Indian. The daugh-
ter is now 81 years of age and her facial
resemblance to Walker is sufficiently
strong to preclude all doubt that it is his
child. There appears to be no doubt Of
the parentage or moral rights of the newly
discovered party to this romantic case.
