A Peculiar Case to Be Carried
Into Court


A month or more ago stir of consid-
cradle magnitude occurred in this city,
by reason OF DR.. E. Z. Ryan'S not hay
before the state board of health. He
was threatened with having proceed
ings brought against him If he continued
to practice, but he remained here at
tending to his business, and Friday
evening received notice from the state
board to the effect that he had passed
rigid examination with honors.
Thomas O'Conner, lifer at the
prison, who was conditionally pardoned
two years ago, and subsequently re-
turned TO the prison for breaking the
rules Of his parole, had expected par
.donlfrom Gov. Merriam up to the be-
ginning OF the new year, but it failed to
arrive. and Attorney Gillen now pro-
poses to test the legality of returning
him to prison by carrying it to the SUI
spreme court. He was released with the
understanding that he was to leave the
state, but, not knowing the exact con-
ditions of the pardon, he left for his
former home in lie Sueur county, and
was promptly rearrested and returned.
Several conrts have held in other states
that such proceedings are illegal and
unconstitutional.
A pool tournament of 100 games is be-
ing played in this city between four
expert players. Twenty-Five games
were played Friday night, and the score
now stands ID to 10. The vIctors so far
are p. J. Stadler and Fritz Behrens.
Their opponents are Herman Pretzel
and Will Hilskotter.
In accordance with resolution passed
by the city council at its last regular
meeting, contract has been made be-
tween the district telegraph company
aud the city continuing in use the pres
ent fire alarm telegraph system. The
contract expires Jan. L, 1898.

devices for gambling, together with the
Keepers of hotels. boarding houses, Sa-
looms, etc., were nearly distracted. The
measure meant to them death blow to
the prosperity in business. A mass
meeting of the citizens and farmers OF
the adjacent country was called.
After many fiery speeches it was unan-
imously decided to prevent the removal
OF the archives, by open and armed
force, if necessary. To that end COM
pany of 400 men was organized, one
moiety of which, relieving the other at
regular intervals. should keep constant
guard around the state house unit! the
peril passed by. The commander of
this force in rebellion against the au-
thurities was Col. Morton, who had
achieved considerable renown in the
war for independence, and still more
recently had displayed desperate
bravery in two terrible duels.
in both of which he had lit
orally cut his antagonists to pieces with
his formidable bowieknife. The colonel
SWore by the honor of a Texan that if
Gen. Houston removed the records of
the state from Austin lie would himself
hunt bin down like wolf and shoot
him with as little ceremony. He bad
the impudence to write to the hero of
San Jacinto to that effect. The general,
whom nothing could intimidate. replied
in the following note OF characteristic
brevity:
IF the people Of Austin do not send
the archives | shall certainly come and

He found Kid, probably hwthe same
instict by which freed wolf finds the
pack. and together they murdered
through the years. AT intervals they
descended on the reservation and car
ried off women. These women do not
come back. Kid has an easier way Of
getting a divorce than through the
courts.
Less than year ago the soldiers got
Masse. They were pursuing the pair,
and lucky long shot Knocked him
from his horse. He fought on the
ground until the life was gone, but Kid
got away.
The great cattle ranches of New and

less than six vaQueros have fallen by
his bullets. He lies by trail or near a

Once there was an Indian baby OF the
San Carlos reservation who was lucky
enough 10 attract the attention OF the
Igent'S wife. His Apache mother. says
;he New York Recorder, used to tilt his
basket up against a tree while she
worked in the agents house and leave
aim in charge of yellow dog until 1t
mas time to take him back to the tepee
at night. He had name that meant
Yellow W If or Eagle-thatTears, or
something ike that, but the Apache
sounds were too hard for the white
oks. and he was soon plain Kid. He
was the smartest Indian baby ever on
she reservation, and really noticed the
Eastern lady who had watched him
from the veranda and thought he was
he funniest thing in the whole wild
country.
Bnt Kids father had the fortune to be
killed during one bit of numbering and
burning, aid Kid, outgrowing his
basket of wicker and buckskn, tramped
markedly about the agency until he was
quite a hoy. Then the agent and his
wife decided to do something for Kid.
The people were getting tired OF the
regular spring overflow of devils from
The reservation. The soldiers killed
many and brought others back. but the
Indians only stayed during the wet
weather, and when out of doors became
pleasant again away they went, fresh
from months of lazy living, with new
blankets and hunger for blood, Whet-
ted by seasons abstinence.
The government decided that if these
beHlghted people could only be shown
the hopclessness of killing all the whites
they would become discouraged and
quit. So they determined to take away
off 10 the East number Of the young
bucks, educating them up to proper
appreciation of the value of white
MANS life, and ultimately to send them
back as missionaries TO spread the
knowledge they had bestowed OH them.

"Who are you? Speak. or | will cut

the incensed colonel, almost insane
with rage at the calm, sneering manner
of the stranger, who now, at this last

laid his hand on the hilt of his immense
bowie.
The fiery colonel upon this movement
drew his dagger, and was in the act OF
advancing upon the stranger, when sew

him back, demonstrated: Let him
alone, Morton, for Gods sake! Don't

At this juncture Judge Webb, a man
of fine intellect and courteous gentle

An Expert on the Signature to

CHICAGO, Jan. Tn published in
terview Henry l.. 1olman, local mi
croscopist and expert in handwriting,
says that the signatures on the will of
the late Senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
are forgeries.
This is the second conclusion | have
reached after careful study and COM
parIson," said he. The lawyers on
both sides know this, ana that | shall
50 testify. The process by which | have
arrived at this belief and NY reasons
for it | will explain III court. The imi-
tation is clever one. The forger has
caught Senator McDonald's character
istic way of holding pen. He used a
stub and wrote with the side of it. The
writer OF the signatures has done the
same. In his execution of the job one
thing has been omitted which nature
alone could supply; that is age. The
writer was very much younger person
than Senator M3Donald; that is per-
fectly clear to me-"

come along. AS the traveller passes IA
Shot in the back ends him. From his
victims Kid keeps supplied with what
ever he needs.
Ills shrewdness passes belief. Every
trick Of the fugitive he knows. A squad
of cavalry followed his trail for miles,
and finally found dead horse that had
given out under him, and the horses
SHOES were turned wrong end foremost.
They had followed back trail.
When he is alone he covers his tracks
behind him, and 10 one can trail him.
They only know that he has passed
from place to place by the bodies Of his
victims. Kid never touches food he
finds in camp. Whenever he likes he
goes into the towns. He speaks half
dozen languages, thanks to his college
education, and no one knows him. He
passes for a Mexican then, and buys
what he wants.
Not long ago there was in the employ
of one of the cattle companies down
D0na Ana way a splendid vaQuero. He
was Mexican, but 50 expert with the
rope and SO much or rider that even
the tall Texans had to admit him as
good as the rest OF them. He was sent
with another vaquero to round up some
alOCh III Oilc vi lHC uiSlduG NdlleyS.
Neither Of them came back. They
found the body of the cowboy where
they had camped. His throat had been
cut while lie slept. The expert vaquero
was Kid.
After each outrage the soldiers have
come out after the Apache. No one but
the soldiers will hunt him. The cow
boys, afraid of nothing on earth, will
not tempt fate by chasing this one In
dian, and report that Kid is in camp
will stampede any cow outfit from the
Gulf to the Panhandle.
But so frequent have been the
Apache'S outrages of late that the two
governments have apparently deter
mined to end them for always. Two
troops of United States cavalry have
been sent out for him, and are now
securing the hills on the Old Head
rancho in New Mexico.
Tney have orders to hunt him down,
no matter how long or how far they
have TO follow him.
