Charles z. P.Jordan, Cousin of General Caster
and a Typical Border Scout.


The queen Of the Sioux is the wife of

any reason to be ashamed of it. Red
Cloud, without question the greatest
Indian chief of this generation, gave
her away ut the altar on the Sioux res

Charles P. Jordan, brother of Lieuten-
ant Colonel Jordan, United States ar

Of the most tried representatives of the
government in the Indian country. He
bears the honor of being the only white
man who was ever elected a member of
the Sioux council. In their days Of pow
CT, before hardly single white face had
been seen west Of the Missouri river,
the Dal1otas (Sioux) were one nation,
ruled by one chief. The last of this au-
tocratic dynasty was Old Smoke, who
died in 1859 after seeing his people
pushed westward and his power curtail-
cd. Although the husband of more than
one squaw, he left but one child, tiny
girl, who could hardly COO when Old
Smoke got ready to float upward to the
happy hunting grounds. When dying,
he took her in his arms and named her
The Beautiful Woman, and SO she has
since been known. The Beautiful Wonl-
an was princess. She did no work,
but learned Of missionaries, scorned dog
meat and kept her nails trimmed and
her glorious black hair plated and
combed. She grew to womanhood, high
spirited, proud and capricious--an ideal
squaw. But as 10 ideal chief came to
WOO her she scorned an alliance with
any common member Of the tribe.
Young Jordan, tall, bright eyed
fellow of good education and address,
came west as clerk to the Indian agent
at Pine Ridge. He fell in love with the
princess, and his love was reciprocated
by the Sioux maiden. And so they wera
married by priest in stole and surplice
and with all the formalities Of the white
mans laws and customs. The big Sioux
chiefs came from miles around to attend
the wedding, the army officers from the
neighboring posts jingled their spurs in

the benediction, and the pretty Sioux
queen has since been plain Mrs Jordan

SAILOR R0EEA Was MURDERED,
Evidence Of Foul Play at Santa
Monica.
A Blood Stained Club and Hat We're
Found.
Shots Were Heard by a Camper NoaT
the scene of tho Tragedy.
Tho Inqusst
Today.

1t ia now thought that the sailor, M.
Rokka. of the steam collier San Mateo,
now anchored at Port Los Angeles, was
waylaid and murdered. The poor un-
fortunate died at the receiving hospital
at s o'clock yesterday morning, without
ever having spoken after being found at
the bottom of the 73 foot bluff at Santa
Monica the day before.
A large, heavy bludgeon, stained with
human blood, was found on the bluff
yesterday. Rokks's hat was found near
by, and there were blood stains upon it.
A dent in the hat--a stiff derby-was
also noticed, and the club fits almost
exactly into the crease, indicating be-
yond doubt that the sailor was struck
before being thrown from the high bluff.
He was injured some time Sunday
night. Rokka left the vessel without
Captain Fletcher'e permission, and went
over to the saloon in the Santa Monica
csfion, half mile from the boat'e an
chorage. Alter remaining there for
some time he started to go up to the
town proper, two miles away. Two
sailor companions saw him depart, but
never saw him again until found uncon-
scicus, mangled and bleeding upon the
rocks beneath the perpendicular bluff.
Constable Dexter made O thorough
search OF the ground yesterday. and
after finding the hat and club, he ex-
pressed the opinion that it was cold
blcoded murder. 1t looks "a if Rokks
was waylaid by come one who was evil
IDENTITY bent on robbery. AT any rate,
the unfortunate sailor was picked up the
next morning for dead. On being
brought to the city. prompt medical at
tention was given him, all without avail.
Another story which confirms that OF
Constable Dexter was given out by @.
Buhman. furniture dealer of 654 South
Spring street. Mr.. and Mrs. Buhman
were camping in the canon on the night
OF the tragedy, and say that they heard
shots fred in quick succession. As such
q thing is unusual ct night around the
camp, tho shots very naturally attracted
their attention. The next morning at 5
O'Clock Mr.. Buhman, in walking up the
beach to Santa Monica, found the body.
So far no bullet wounds have been
found upon the body OF the sailor,
though this has no great Significance,
as the shots may have been fired to
frighten Rokka, after which he may
have been struck with the club and
thrown down the bank. The fracture
of the frontal bone would indicate that
he was either struck with tee bludgeon
or had fallen upon rock. just which
may prove to be tho truth will be made
known at the coroner's inquest this
morning, at Orr & Patterson's, at 8
O'Clock.

A stcp In Advance In vrance,

Nine. Henri Schmohl, the valiant
champion Of women in France and
foundress Of The Avant Courriere, has
won what may be considered as pre-
paratory victory that bodies well for the
eventual success of her campaign in the
cause Of feminine reform. NJ Goirand,
a deputy and a lawyer by profession,
has just brought in bill embodying
the two essential reforms which The
Avant Courriere is intended to further.
As will be remembered, these two all
important reforms are the repeal of the
law by which no Frenchwoman can act
as witness to any legal deed and tho
passing Of French married women s
property act. Of course M. Goirand' s
bill may be thrown out, but the mere
fact that a bill of the kind should be
put before the house at all is great
step in advance.

Exaggerated Reports Of Amounts Lost ara

Exaggerated Reports OF Amounts Lost ard
Won at the Race Track.
One reason for the great popularity Of
racing among men who know nothing
about the sport is the extraordinary for.
tunes which people are supposed to
make in the course of 10 or 20 minutes
by betting on horses which have long
price marked opposite their names. The
racing editors Of several of the morning
papers are exceedingly careful in noting
tho winnings and losses Of prominent
men on tho turf when they are worthy
of comment, but this is not true Of all
the men who sit in the reporters stand
at the tracks.
Every year some particular man is
picked out, and the stories of his win
nings are mentioned day after day quite
as a matter of course, but never with
any real notion of the actual facts Of
the case. McCafferty, for instance, is
commonly credited by the papers with
having landed between $50, 600 and
$50, 900 on single race this week, and
q few days before it was solemnly an
nounced in the papers that ''Pittsburg
Phil'' had rather bad two days. rae
ing, but having landed $50, 900 on Can
delabra he was feeling moro comforta-
BILE.
Such winnings as these are noted usu-
ally as matter Of course in the shape
of o footnote or some small item Of
news of the track.
The inconsistency Of these statements
is apparent sometimes, even to people
who have no knowledge of racing.
When McCafferty rode Rough and
Ready, for instance, the price was 80 to
/, and it was stated that McCafferty
bet $5, 600 of his own and his partner q
money ON his mount. OF course it would
be impossible to place such an enormous
sum Of money on an outside horse, as
the bookmakers are too sharp to be
caught mapping that way.
But, assuming that the story is true
and that McCafferty had bet that
amount of money, his winnings would
have amounted to $3.50, 600 on that par
ticular race. People who imagine that
the boolmakers at Sheepshead Bay can
pay out $3.50, 600 on a single overnight
race have lofty opinion of the flnan.
cial stability of the ring. 1t is curious to
note how persistently this exaggeration
is practiced, since it is apparent to all
racegoers that such enormous winnings
are entirely imaginary. New York

The young khedive of Egypt is hav-
ing very uncomfortable time in Con-
stantinople and is doubtless sorry that
he ever went there The sultan appears
to take malicious delight in making the
young man feel his inferiority and has
carried this so far as to refuse to allow

his position to the support of intidel

clever woman it is believed that her
persistency will ultimately be rewarded
by success.
The sultan at present has only two
recognized daughters of marriageable
age. One is 13 years old, and the other
is 10. 1t was suggested early in the
negotiations that the sultan's daughter
is forbidden by unwritten law to marry
outside the limits of the Ottoman en-
pire, but his majesty himself promptly
disposed of that argument by declaring
that Egypt is an integral part Of his
empire, and it is certainly recognized
as such by all the European powers
If the sultan should relent the mar
riage will take place in Constantinople
utter the khedive, by his suzerain's gra-
oscus permission, has taken short hcli-
day trip through Europe.

the greatest distinction and has returned

CHICAGO, May 7.-Marshal Field, Ly-
man J. Gage, George M. Pullman, p. D.
Armour, John II. Walsh and about so
others of wealth and importance in the
financial world have signed a creed
with bimetallism as its basis and pledged
themselves to promote it's adoption as
an international system. They favor
promoting metallism upon the general
plan of the Latin union, but with a
broader basis. Those concerned in the
movement, while earnestly opposed to
free coinage of silver by this country
Independent of an international agree
ment, believe that the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act
affords fitting opportunity for advan-
cling the cause Of international bimetal-
lism. They believe the day is not far
distant when the necessities of COM
merce will compel the international
use of silver as well as gold in cnrren-
cies throughout the world. F. H. Head,
who was appointed secretary of the
committee, says:
"If England will enter an interna-
tional agreement to accept bimetallic
system, every other great power will
do the same, and gold will cease to ap.
preciate, prices will stop falling and
prosperity will be universally restored.
Universal reconciliation of silver is
what We want. To adopt free coinage
for this country in the absence of such
an agreement would be fatal. Let all
nations adopt 1t and we shall BEE an end
of the worldwide depression in prices
which has followed the demonstration
of silver in 1873"

The Placer Wins 1t

BUTTE, May 6.-Another big mining
controversy in Butte has just been set
tied by the department of the interior.
The case was that of quartz-placer
contest between half hundred or more
people interested in the Kemper addi-
tion. Mr.. Kemper secured placer
patent to the ground. Afterwards
quartz vein was discovered aud the
Monitor located and a contest at once
started against the placer. While the
contest was pending the Ground SPUR
rel was located and worked under the
placer title by MIR. Kemper and was
afterwards sold to j. b. Haggin. The
quartz locators tried hard to get the
placer patent set aside, but the decis-
ion from the secretary of the interior
settles the matter for good in favor Of
the placer.
