BRING ON THE POTTANATOMIES.
The Least Chicago Can Do Is to Show
the Indians the Fair.
Chicago Mail.


Chief Pokagon has got a scheme which it
would be we'll for the Chicago real-estate
board to take into serious consideration
Chief Pokagon, be il stated parenthetlcally,
is the head of the Pottawatomie tribe or In
dams and the Pottawatomies once owned all
the land on which Chicago is now built. the
chief is also poet but that has nothing TO
do with this matter.
His proposition is that, while the Potta-
watonlies agreed, many years ago. TO deed
the present site of Chicago to the United
States government, in consideration or GER
tain moneys paid In hand, Uncle sam never
paid the money, and so the equitable TUE
is still In his tribe or Indians, Wno' ,r, IKE 4.
other Indians hold land in common. This,
he asserts is a cloud on the title of all the
real estate in Chicago, and, unless greater
confidence is soon established In the Dusl-
ness world, may operate to scare OH tlnld
investors The only remedy he can Suggest
is q uuit-claim deed from the chiefs or his
tribe. and that he is prepared to furnish for
a consideration.
The consideration is not exorbitant- 1t is
that the present inhabitants of Chicago bring
one hundred Pottawatonlies from their
homes in the Indian Territory, give them
free admission to the fair, and provide
board and lodging, as Wei as otner n EsSYsss
Pol<agon, about $1,000, and he does not re-
gard that as high figure: 49,,
Nor is ii. Two thousand dollars is little
enough for a quit-claim deed TO all ChlcaSo,
even if the title is good without. Bring the
Pottawatomies here! Give them plenty to
eat and all they want to drink! furnlsn
them with the freedom OF the. city. Let
them have a good time generally, and if
they see anything they want buy 1t for
them. They are the descendants of the first
families of Chicago, and 1t is but right that
they should see the fair.

ADMIRAL JOUETTs STORY.
How the Old Sailor Captured a Block
ade Runner.
Chicago Mail.

Admiral Jouett tells an odd story of a
blockade runner. He was in command of
the Metacomet at the time. The blockade
runner run ret sa evift that everY attempt to
catch her had failed. Farragut declared
that she must be taken at all hazards and
delegated the job to Jouett. ''Jim,' he
said" II count on you to fetch me that
bird, whatever happens" So 1T came
about that the Metacomet lay in wait for
the artful dodger on Campeachy banks:
There was reason TO believe that she would
come that way before long. Meanwhile
the commander of the war ship set to
work TO transform his craft in such a
manner that her own builder would not
have recognized her.
The first thing he did was to paint
broad streak all around her hull. Then he
hoisted spars aloft and arranged them so
as TO look like double topsail yards,
such merchantmen carried in those
days. BY such devices the vessel was
made to resemble Mexican trader. She
was anchored near the shoals, as if trying
to catch fish. So she was, but 1t was a
very big one she was after The guns
were covered with tarpaulins for further
disguise, and it was ordered that no uni
forms should be worn on deck. The COM
mander put on his oldest suit of clothes. In
short, nobody would have surnsed that a
war ship armed to the teeth was con-
cealed beneath such an innocent exterior.
When the smoke of a steamer was seen
at the expected point on the horizon Jouett
was confident that the game was in sight
He even went so far as to interview the
steward in relation TO a bill of fare, saying
that he meant to entertain the captain OF
that blockade runner at dinner the same
evening The latter craft slowly rose on
the horizon. When she came within a
couple of nautical miles the Metacomet
hoisted the Mexican flag. The stranger re-
Sponded by running up French colors
She had no suspicion of the true char
acter of the foe that was lying in wait.
With the utmost confidence she steamed
past and her astonishm mt must have been
great when the Metacomet fired a gun
across her bows. In a moment the ship of
war was revealed in her true character
her decks crowded with men. and her arma-
ment unveiled. Her commanders invita-
ton TO dinner for that evening was not re-
fused by the captain of the blockade run
ner.

Charged with Perjury.

ELKHART. Ind, Oct 1.-THE perjury
case growing out of the Martin Peterson
VS.. The Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Railway Company matter is now occupy
ing ing the attention of the Circuit Conrt OF
Ola City, on the bench. and is attracting
VIDE attention from the nature of the pre-
cedlng events and the prominence Oh some
OF the persons connected with them. Two
years ago, Peterson, aged eleven years,
while stealing a ride on freight train,
fell and had both arms cut of near the
railway company for $4,000 damages,
Claiming he had been knocked from tn, the
matter was strongly contested on both SIDES
and judgment for $1,000 was rendered for
trial, With the result that plaintlff was Civ
en- Judgment for $4,000. The case was
then appealed to the Supreme Court.
Out of the Peterson matter grew the at
tempt to disbar attorney Henry C. Dodge
for his alleged course in conducting the
prosecution. The disbarment affair was bit
stood to have resulted mainly from the per-
sonal feeling existing between Mr. Dodge

J; II. State, of this city, are conducting
the prosecution, while Judge j. D. Far
rail-. of Lagrange, and H. C. Dodge, of
this city, are for the defense. Every inch
of the ground is being fought, for should
the perjury charges be proved the Peter
son damage case will be settled, as the per-
jury is alleged to have taken place during
those proceedings. The disbarment charg-
es against Mr.. Dodge would also be prac-
tfcalIy borne upon, as he was the attorney
for Peterson. Detectives also figured in the
disbarment matter The evidence is nearly
all in, and the arguments will begin the
fore part of the coming week.
