FIRST sIoHr OF RED HAIR.

How Il Aroused tho Wonder OF Colorado
Indians Years Ago.
~ was In Colorado In 1875" said
Harvey @. Smartwood Of Canon City,
COL, to 4 reporter, "before the infu-
ence Of the white man was utterly
dominant. The Indians around what
Is now Meeher had seen but little of
the white man and knew compare
lively nothing of him or his ways or
habits except from hearsay and trail
ton. As you see, nature saw fit to
give me shock of carmine colored
hair. When I first went among the
indians they all thought that II was
painted. just as they universally paint
their own bodies and faces and heads.
An old chief came up to me one day
and looked ut my hair very carefully.
Ugh said he, and then turning TO the
guide who had our party In charge,
he asked him TO ask me where got the
kind Of paint that would color and not
be greasy or look dauby. The
guide told him my hair wasn't painted,
but he wouldn't believe him. He
came over and once more closely
scrutinizcd my locks. running his
hand over them and then looking ut
his fingers. l had an idea that he
was calculating how nice my red
scalp would Look hung about his dirty
old body, and was inclined to resent
1t. Our guide, however, laughingly
told me what the old chief had said.
Two or three more OF the bucks gath
cred about us and they and the guide
had powwow. Finally the guide
asked me II / would object to putting
water on my hair. lie said the In
dams wouldn't believe 1t wasn't
painted until they saw that water
wouldn't wash the color out. OF
course, took some water ana rubbed
II on my hair and then showed my
hands 10 them. II took four or five
days Of wondering examination to
convince them that I hadn't found
some particular fine paint and got my
self up in n bright red suit of hair"

The fair Englishwoman flushed
slightly, but De Carnelles kept his

nothing.
"My handkerchief? forcing laugh.
"Oh! yes: how absurd It was Of me! II

1t is reported in the upper end of
Rock Island that Poke Lambert
has been gathering about him all his
followers the last few days. and that
yesterday the question of whether
''de gang" would join Kelly when he
came this way. was decided. During
the past week Poke" has made sew
eral patriotic speeches, in which he
has set forth the duties of man from
biblical standpoint, and he has APP
pealed to the .'intrinsicn and ..philo-
sophicaf' value of his brethren in a
Gladstonian manner. The question
has been thoroughly agitated. and
Statesman Poke" has the honor of
being the leader of the Rock Island
faction. He is also credited with de-
claring that if Kelly and his men
stopped here he would raise funds, if
it were possible, and banquet them.
General Poke" has not as vet ap-
pointed his lieutenant, and a strong
fight is being made by those desiring
such position. :.

Capt. Hedberc's Case.

The trial of Lieut.. Nancy at Chi
cago, for the murder of Capt. He'd
berg, of the United States army there
some time ago, is exciting good
deal of interest in that city, and not
little in this in some quarters.
Capt. Hedberg was well known by
quite number of Davenport and
Rock Island people. They take oc-
casion TO denounce Nancy and the
other enemies of the captain as I'M
manly. cowardly and unworthy of The
uniform they were. Capt. He'd
berg had some trouble of financial
nature in years past. but he was man
enough to face the situation and to
attempt to live it down. These 9th
er men sought in every way possible
TO make life burden to him. throw
ing his old fault in his face and show
ing him disrespect and discourtesy
whenever they could. The ill-feeling
this sort of treatment engendered
could hardly OF been expected to end
in anything short of shooting. 1t
is gratifying to note that the
widow Of the murdered man,
who was so stcadfastly true to
him through his rehabilitation in the
army, is standing by him in the trial.
1t has been largely through her
persistence in bringing the latter to
focus that is now taking place, and
she is fighting with all her might for
Il vindicatiOn of her dead husband
and the punishment of the man who
appears to have shot him wantonly
and in cold blood.-Davenport Dem

its Eject.

its Eject.
What will in all probability be the
most extensive strike in the history
of coal mining went into effect all
over the country today, but from
present indications Rock Island will
not be in the least affected in conse-
quencc Although many of the great
mines throughout the state will suf-
fer, the plant OF the Coal Valley
Mining company at Cable is running
this afternoon as usual, and General
Supt. Sudlow stated to an ARGUS
representative that he had no antici-
patton of the least trouble at the
mines. 1t is probable that the
miners at Cable, who number 1856,
will pay no heed to the general order.
Down at Gilchrist it is reported the
mines are closed, but in the upper
end of Rock Island county the mines
are running as usual.

following:
Resolved, That on and after Sat
urday noon, April 81, 1894, no coal

United States and territories, gov

such times as our general officers and

Resolved, That we declare it to

sion to restore the scale of prices for
mining and conditions of employ
ment which prevailed at the begin
ming of the present scale year.
Both organized and unorganized
mine workers want living wages and
decent treatment. and the only hope
we have OF obtaining them is by sus-
pending work in all fields and at one
time.
Miners, it is now or never, that the
power of concerted action on your
part must do its work. The interests
of home, family and organization
