ship of the Chickasaw nation al Tisho-
mingo the other day was an Indian. Ne
shoba Lokna, or, as he Is commonly CALI
ed, Yellow Wolf who was born In Missis-
sippi. near the Alabama line, at a place
called Buzzard Roost, about eighteen
miles from Tuskumbia. a little over 11s
years ago. yellow Wolf is straight as an
arrow, rides horseback wherever he goes,
and generally rides very spirited pony.
This he mounts in true Indian style, with
a single bound from the ground, and on
the right side Of the animal.
Meeting him one would never believe
that he was more than 70 years Of age. so
easy and graceful is his bearing. There Is
only one person living near here that new
him when a boy and that is an old ne
gress who lives near Darkville, in tho
Choctow nation, supposed TO be 120 years
old. There a number Of men here Is and
50 years of age who have known this man
all their lives, and who say that he was
a man grown when they were children.
He came 10 the nation in 1873 from Mis-
sissippi. He was what the Indians call
an "Alicche," or doctor. formerly looked
upon by his tribe as being endowed with
superhuman skill IN the construction OF
certain compounds, and the consultation
with oracles and omens that enabled him
to either bring about events or prophesy
about their fulfilment. 1t Is said Of Yellow
Wolf that he can find anything that is
hidden. In his younger days he was very
dissipated, and II was impossible TO hide
whiskey so he could not find It. Barring
accidents he looks as though he had twen-
ty-fve more years to roam at will.

THEY WANT IMPROVEMENTS
Meeting of the Northwest Improvement
Association
The Park Bonds Discussed Grading of
Bellevue Avenue and the
Electric Railway

The Los Angeles Northwest Improve
ment Association held a meeting last
evening in its hall at the corner OF
Bellevue avenue and Montreal streets.
J. NJ. Craig presiding and B. W. Speer act
ing as secretary.
Mr.. Kelly, chairman of the comm ittee
on parks, stated that the city council at
its meeting on Monday instructed the
city attorney to begin condemnation pro-
ceedngs against several property owners
to open the drive around Echo park.
Mr.. Kelly further stated that Messrs.
Slaughter. Steadman, Laycock and him
self recently held a meeting at Mr..
Slaughter's house and discussed the adj
visibility in taking action toward carrying
the bond election for park and other i'm
provements on May Sd. He said that
nothing can be of more benefit to the
northwest than the improvement OF
Elysan park. Parks add greatly TO the
appearance and popularity of city and
for this reason the committee had de-
cided to appropriate S25 toward assisting
in carrying Of the bonds
Mr.. Layeock explained that there will
be only one polling place in the Second
ward, which will be located at the free
labor bureau on New High street, and
carriages Will nave 10 De HlGeu W Set tic
voters to the polls. Besides. it was de-
cided to send u printed circular to every
voter in the ward. urging him to vote for
the bonds. For this purpose the money
was voted and the individual memters OF
the association will contribute to a fund
to be used TO the same purpose.
Mr.. Schreiver referred briefly to the
proposed grading of Bellevue avenue,
saying that some time ago Mr.. Clark OF
the Consolidated Electric Company en-
tered into "a written contract with the
association. agreeing that in the event of
our establishing the grade of Bellevue
avenue, the co npany will within sixty
days thereafter build an electric road
from Buena Vista street to the sisters
hospital along Bellevue avenue. and with
in eighteen months thereafter extend the
road to Santa Monica.
At.the time the contract was entered
into profile was agreed upon, providing
for cuts not to exceed three and half
feet. That profile has been tempered
with by some one, and now shows cuts
of from six to eight feet. This will neces-
state the placing of a granite wall around
Mr.. Ford's property left exposed, the
payment for which will bankrupt the
property owners on Bellevue avenue.
Several other matters OF minor import
ance were discussed, and the meeting adj

was first discovered by Aonzo Beckwith shortly
after | o'clock He turned in alarm. and with
the of freight train. which was being made
I'D near the station. went 10 work to save what he
could. Beckwth and the freight crew succeeded
in getting out all the express packages and tickets

company responded about twenty minutes after the
alarm was turned In. but could not save the build

passed only a short time before the fire dis
covered by Beckwth. and the blaze is supposed TO
