INDIANS LOVE GAMBLING.

They Will Bet Big Sums. Even on tn.
Death OF "a Friend.
The gambling instinct among Indi-
ans seems rather to be increased than
otherwise by civilization, and more than
n Cherokee who drew at Tahlequah
recently for himself, his wife and his
children quite n large sum of money in
tull discharge of his personal interest
In The Cherokee strip came near losing
every dollar Of it before returning
home. One day when the distribution
was exceptionally heavy two very spec
ulatlve recipients were standing to-
ecther near the post office. A boy was
seen coming along the street on Il
bucking pony. For so young 4 boy ne
held his seat well, but it seemed ex-
ceeding probable to the onlOokerS that
before he got the pony home he would
either be thrown or would have 20 get
off. The two Indians discussed the
proposition with much excitement, and
finally one mar bet the other the en-
tire government per capita that the
boy would be thrown before he got
past them.
The bet was accepted with vicious
eagerness, and as they watched the
antics of the pony as it whirlcd round,
bucked, sat down on its launches, and
did everything else that was ever
known to 4 trick horse, they almost
came to blows in the excitement of
their argument. Finally the horse,
despairing OF any other means of get
ting rid of its rider, leaped in the air
and fell on its side, knocking half the
life ont of the boy, and then rolling
completely over him. An alteration.
of course, followed as to which had
won the bet. The plucky boy hung on
to the horn of his saddle, although APP
parently fatally injured. He neither
fell off nor got off. but was lifted off
the furious animal by half a dozen men
who rushed quickly to the rescue. Eff
forts were made to quiet the two In
and the suggestion that the bet
be declared off was freely made. As
each man declined to pay the other,
this wa the final outcome of the af-
fair; but the wagering of such a com
paratively large sum over such an in
event shows that specula-
ton will always be more or less pop
ular with the average Indian.--St-

Error IN tiIIng Nominations.

POPLAR BLUFF. Mo-, March 19.-It
seems now that there will be no Re-
publican city ticket in the field here in
April. The nominations fOrthe various
city off ere regularly made by the
party = .,s Jays ago, and the ticket
vas Il struIs one. An error, however,
was made, and the nominations certi-
fed to the County Clerk instead of the
City Clerk. This mistake was not dis
covered until to-day, and it is now too
late to rectify the error, as the time in
which such certificates of nomination
are to be filed has elapsed. Under the
Australian ballot law there is no way
by which Il regular Republican ticket
now be printed, and the Republi-
can voter will likely have to write the
name of his choice under the name of
the Democratic candidate for the same
Office.
