DID TIE WHISKY DO 1Ia
After a Stiff Teddy the Worthless
Pup Routed the Deer.

NorthWood IN. " Special NeO York sun.
Last fall, when the Boston party of deer
hunters went to Moose river on their an
nual deer hunt, they took along four dogs.
one of which was a pup . years old called
Skip. The pup wouldn't tree q partridge or
run fox or rabbit. Its owner had taken it
along TO shoot it il it wouldn't run deer.
While going In on the Canada Gold Lake
trail to Moose river small doe was started.
The unpromising pups nose was jabbed into
the ruts left by the deer's hoofs. The pup
merely lifted bis head and howled. The
owner said: "Ive a good notion ter shoot
the cuss now, but reckon I'll try ter-mor-
row."
The next day five of the men we're posted
at the Spring Hole, Saddle Back and other
we'll known runways, and the other two
meu went with the four dogs back on the
mountain. The owner OF Skip was one of
the drivers. Two deer were started by the
dogs, but Skip only howled when he was
''sioked" after them.
The dog had got to die sure enough, so the
owner called it to him and put a strap
around its neck, and then tied IL to a sap
ping. The drivers usually leave their guns
at the camp. taking only a revolver. When
Skip was tied to the sappling he kicked and
jumped around so much that the dogs owner
would not shoot lest he merely wounded the
brute, aud 80 he decided to give it some
think to quiet 1t down. Taking flask out
Of his pocket and filling the cup with mix
ture of whisky, water and sugar, he held
it out fori the pup to drink The dog first
shifted at IL moment, and then eagerly
Tapped with his tongue till tie cup was
emptied. but, instead OF quieting him, the
pup jumped twice as hard as before. At
the second jump the strap around his neck
broke, and the pup started toward the top
OF the mountain.
The men took q couple of shots at the dog,
which did nothing more than make it run
faster Then throwing the dog chains over
their shoulders, the men started for a run
way, where they had heard several shots
fired in rapid succession. They had almost
reached the runway when they heard dog
running back on the mountain, but think
ing il was dog belonging to some other
party, they paid little attention to it until it
turned and Yves coming toward them. They
listened several minutes, and as they were
on the point of going on a big buck jumped
across the opening made by beavers years
ago. Loss than ten minutes after Skip came
down on the deer's trail, running much
faster than any other dog in the party.
Skip is now called one of the best dogs in
the country. for he put more deer in the
water last foil than all the dogs around
here. Ten deer were killed ahead OF him,
not to mention the ones be raced that were
not killed. What the woodsmen here
abouts would like to know and what they
argue about 10, did the whisky have any
thing to do with his training

ability to do the fair thing and treat the
subject Of land grants according to the
facts involved and the law as based on
treaty stipulatiCns. In one of these cases
it appears that settler in Arizona had
attempted to go upon an alleged grant
and make entry. Sec. Smith promptly
ruled against this on the ground that in
all cases where there was reasonable
color of grant title the land must remain
segregated from the public domain and
considered as private property until such
time as the U. s. court of private land
claims could pass upon the claim. The
other instance, in which the Juana Lopez
grant in south Santa Fe county was in.
volved, was equally important, because
the fact, that the secretary overrules the
Sparks-J Julian decision for resurvey, in
dicates that he will stand squarely upon
the decisions of the U. s. supreme court
in such matters. This is all that the
people of New Mexico ask. They want
these titles settled promptly in strict ac-
cord with all their rights that are guar
anteed by treaty and REINFORCED by the
decisions of the supreme court.

The Nayaf0eS.

Adjutant General Tarsney reveals a
condition of affairs among the Naval oes
| that should command, the immediate at
tention OF the general government. The
tribe has always been regarded as semi
civilized one. Ever since anything was
known concerning it 1T has raised sheep
and horses, grown some grain, and been
| the most advanced in the manufacturing
art of any of the North American Indians.
Prior to the occupation of New Mexico,
and the conquest of their country by Kit
Carson, the Navajoes were probably a
more prosperous people than the mass of
the native residents of that territory.
But the vices of civilization are doing
their deadly work. The white mans
whisky is demoralizing the once proud,
independent and warlike race. Last yeah
a trader purchased from them $4,000
pounds of wool; in the same district this
year he could only buy 5000 pounds.
The tribe is getting to the starvation
point. 1t gets no annuities from the gov
eminent.
1t may be accepted as fact that when
hunger drives them to it, the Navajoes
will both steal and fight. Under those
conditions, no one can blame them very
much for so doing. The federal govern
ment, however, should not allow them to
reach that point of desperation. 1t can
prevent much future trouble, and there
fore the loss of much life and property,
by promptly taking the matter in hand,
and furnishing them with sufficient food,
and at the same time hanging every white
man caught supplying them with whisky,
either on or off the reservation. 1t is
always cheaper to feed an Indian than to
fight him, and unless this condition of
affairs, as reported, among the Navajoes
is remedied, New Mexico and southwest
ern Colorado are certain to be the suffer-
ers by the delay.-Denver Rocky Noun
