before Judge McClung At Pittsburg, last
week for selling liquor without license,
and convicted. kreinbrook was arrested
on an information made 10y Thomas
johnson at Judge Meetings. suggestion

ed Swindlinger. Of Blythesdaie, Ale
gheny county, pleaded guilty Of Illegal
liquor selling. which was found OF Con
stable William Jones return. Judge
White was an Criminal Court then and
Attorney John \. Robb, Jr., who was
counsel for SwindlingcT, explained 10 the
Court that the alleged liquor sold was
patent medicine. Constable Jones had Il
number of persons present who testified
that the medicine, which was known as
Lewis Botanic Bitters'' and which WAS
manufactured by kreinbro0k, was of 4
very intoxicating nature, and where any
great quantity had been taken had been
worse than whisky. In view of circum-
stances surrounding the ease and the fact
that Swindlinger was a cripple. Judge
White suspended sentence on 4 promise
to sell 10 more Of the medicine.
The same story was told at the trial Of
Kreinbrook. with the addition ola che
mioal analysis. which showed that
Lewis Botanic BitteTs" contained a
large per centage Of alcohol. Attorney
RDbb. who was al - kre:nbroDk's com
sci. offered Il report of an analysis of
another well-known patent medicine,
which contained 6per cent. more alcohol
than Kreinbrook's medicine, but Judge
McClung would not admit it as evidence,
because the defendent was not being tried
for selling any o.her medicine.

A BORN APACHE LONG IN THE EAST,
WANTED TO BE A SOLDIER.
His Father. Famous Scout, Sent Him to
this County to Be Educated and Has
Paid for His Support.

] From the PittSburg Times.
The hopes OF full-blo0dei Apache In
dian, who desired to be a soldier for I'n-
Gle Sam, were crushed 10y a letter receiy
ed at she United States recruiting station,
on Penn avenue, from the War Depart
ment yesterday. The letter said he was
no. wanted.
The Indian has an interesting history.
He is called Charles Naltuey, and is aged
"a years. Since he was years old he has
not been in the West. Most of the time
has been spent on a farm in Somerset
| county, near Berlin. He has educated
himself by night study and attendance ut
winter schools and can speak English
perfectly. The father of Charles has been
employed 10y the United States govern
ment for more than - years. First he
was an interpreter, and is now chief of
one of the departments of Indian police
on the Apache reservation in Arizona.
He has considerable fame as warrior,
and his prowess Is always on the side Of
the government. He is well known to
army officers. Alter his marriage, which
was according to the Customs of the
whites. he became more civilized. When
his son was born and his wife died, he
kept the child with him until he was
years old. Then he sent him to Somerset
county and placed him in the care ofsome
farmers who are ofthe celebrated Amish
settlement. Old Naltuey wanted the boy
to become civilian, TO be reared away
II
the frontier. lie has contributed to his
support all the time.
The young Indian has rot taken kind
ly to farm life, though he remained qui-
city in Somerset county in obedience to
his fathers wishes until Two weeks ago.
His Unborn tendencies 10 lead the life of
his father came so strongly to The surface
that he determined TO enlist and % to
Arizona. Two weeks ago he made ap-
plication to the recruiting station, and his
papers were sent to Washington for ap-
proval. The Indian stayed at the station
all the time and was in n feverish anxiety
over the delay of an answer.
In the letter the War Department Off
cials stated that Indians had been proven
to be of little value as soldiers, and in
stead of enlisting any more, although they
might Ice civilized, the intention was to
disband the forces now composed Of red
men.
Naltuey was intensely disappointed az
the refusal. He returned To Somerset
county. bu: told Recruiting Sergeant Al
lison Bingner he meant 10 60 West any
how. lie is tired Of being partially sap
ported 10y his father and says he can
make living for himself.

Somerset Borough Nominations.

The Republican primary in this bor-
ough, Saturday afternoon. was one of the
most holly contested in recent years. In
fact the interest manifested exceeded
that worked up in the famous .water''
fights Of one and two years ago. Fonr
candidates were i'm the field for council
men and a similar number did battle for
I the nomination for school director. Three
worthy citizens asked the nomination
Tor street commissioner; two were will
ing To serve i'm the capacity of assessor.
and the same number expressed desire
TO act as inspector of elections. There
was only one candidate for the nomina-
ton for Judge of Election, and only one
name appeared upon the ticket for High
constable and one for Auditor.
The greatest interest was taken in the
school director fight and both sides had
made canvass of the town. NJ. j. Pritts
and T. l. Caseheer were running mates,
and Capt W. II. Sanner and L. p. Saylor
stood shoulder to shoulder. After the
scrimmage it was found that Saylor and
