Auaches Arc Fleet of Foot.

Capt. HI. l.. Scott of the famous Sew
enth United States cavalry relates some
marvellous tales of the powers of en-
members of l. troop of his regiment,
Indians from Arizona. He relates that
on one occasion full-grown and able
bodied deer ran through the. cavalry
camp, and instantly, with q series Of
wild yells, the Indians gave pursuit on
foot, and by exceeding swiftness and
skill they actually ran it down, .clught
it about nine miles from camp, and
brought it in unframed.
On one occasion, nine of them were
returning to camp after full day Of
hard work, riding upon a government
wagon drawn by a mule team. A coyote
was seen close by the trail, pursuing a
young calf. Instantly the fatigues of
the days labor We're forgotten, the
dusky. driver, in his wild enthusiasm,
gave chase, and after wild, yelling,
.scrambling chase of two hours the wolf
was captured, tied, gagged and packed
into camp. The mules had meanwhile
quietly and decorously wendell their
way to camp.
This seems strange to the average pale
face. and the Sioux look upon these
wonuerIul 1eats as SOmetnlng approach
ing the supernatural; this, in short, in
dicates the difference which. different
methods of life, pursued through gen
erations, makes in people of the same
general race. The pale face would fall
by the wayside in mile, the Sioux
would shrug his shoulders, grunt and
lie down, or would fly to his trusty pony,
Oh which he will do more work prob
ably than any other man living, without
regard to the character of his. mount

Washington's State Flower.

The state flower appears to be in grow
ing demand ON this side of the mount
aims, and it appears probable that before
long the average Spokane citizen will be
able to recognize the rhododendron when
he meets it.
Most of the rhododendron plants re-
ceived here come from WILDLY island,
in Puget sound, where the flower grows
in wild profusion. 1t is also found in
great numbers in many of the mount
ain valleys of, the Cascade range, and
seems to flourish all the way from tide
water to an elevation of 1000 or 5000
feet. Around the base Of some of the
great snow mountains of the Cascades
it is as common as quaking aspens on
the Occur d'Alene reservation. In these
natural parks it frequently attains a
height of IL or ii feet, and the scene
there on an early July morning, when
thousands of the pink flowers are in
bloom, is beautiful beyond expression.
In such spots the rhododendron thrives
among the rocks and scattered pines, in
soil very similar to that of the Spokane
prairie, so it appears that the state
flower ought to feel at home when borne
over the mountains and transplanted in
this section.-Spokane Statesman-Re-

BENNlNG OPENING TODAY
Revival Of Legitimate Horse Racing
at the Country's Capital.
Meeting to Last for Thirteen Days.
SteepIecl,ase Course Regarded the
Finest In the Country.

This afternoon the thirteen-days' rum
ming meeting will be inaugurated at Ben
ming, under the auspices OF the Washington
Jockey Club. The meeting will formally
open. the Eastern season of legitimate
racing, a season which will continue until
about the middle of next November. Two
years ago, as a result OF decision in the
local courts, legitimate racing in this
District was discontinued, and since that
time there has none of the sport been wit
messed in this vicinity, except at the st.
Asaph and Alexander Island tracks, which
during the greater portion of their exist
ence were declared "outla we'd by the
Jockey Club. Washlngtonians, therefore,
are delighted with the resumption of legiti-
mate horse racing, and will no doubt lend
their hearty support to the new organization.
Many improvements have been made at
the track and the grounds greatly beauti-
fled. Determined that there shall be no
public gambling at the track, the club has
torn down the old pool ring and shed and
erected on the site a clubhouse for ladies.
The clubhouse is provided with every con-
vcnience; commanding a full view of the
| whole course. The grand stand has been
improved, the old clubhouse for members
has been enla rged and the paddock has been
made modern one, both as to size and CON
venience.
| Many new stables have been erected and
| the track has been made one OF the fastest
| in the country. The jumping races will be n
| feature of the meeting and the newly con-
structed stceplechase course is regarded as
| one of the most beautiful and difficult in the
country. An excellent program has been
arranged for the entire meeting and il calls
| for five races each day, the first event being
started at 81 sin the afternoon. In the stak Ike
races about every stable OF Importance in
| the East is represented.

wIRE-TAPPING ATTEMPTED.
Western Union People Put on Fore
of Detectives.

Western Union People Put on Force
of Detectives.
Elkton, Md, April 1s.-It was learned
yesterday that an attempt had been made
To tap Western Union race wires. The COM
pany at once put three detectives on the
case, and il the guilty parties are discov-
cred it will not go well with them.
All sorts of rumors are afloat about the
meeting at the new track at Barksdale
three miles from Elkton. which is now in
course of construction. and where a thirty
days meeting will be held after the races
end here. Some of the citizens. who are
greatly benefited by the meeting. are afraid
that ON account of Newark Del, being n
trifle closer than Elkton that the ma
jority OF the business will be transferred
to that point; but it is stated on good au-
tbority that the association will make
Elkton the headquarters. and that nearly
all of the horses will be stabbed here and
the races made up here. The track being
only three miles away. ii is claimed 1t
will be just a good walk for the runners be-
fore entering their races.
1t is also stated that a large number OF
the 'busses used at the old Gloucester track
will be brought to Elkton and used to
carry passengers back and forth.

Joseph Richcreek Arrested for Sew
cral Assaults Upon His Wife.

eral Assaults Upon His Wife.
Several weeks ago Joseph Richcreek,
a follower of the races, was before Judge
Miller on the charge of threatening to
kill his wife, Margaret Richcreek, pretty
blonde.
The charge was dismissed, Judge Miller
remarking that as the wife was applying
for a divorce, the equity court would no
doubt issue a restraining order for Mis-.
Richcreek's protection. The wife re-
turned to her rooms, at No. 222 Indiana
avenue, after consulting with her attorney,
Albert SillerS.
A few minutes after she entered her
home the husband came in and, it is al
legged. brutally assaulted her and attempted
to draw a razor and cut her. The woman
returned to the police court with her face
bruised and bleeding and swore out war
rant against the man. In the meantime the
husband left the city.
He returned last night. and at once went
to the rooms of Mrs. Richcreek. She quietly
sent out for Policeman Mulvcy and the hus-
band was arrested.
In Judge Miller's police court today the
case was continued until Monday, bonds be-
ing fixed at $500. Attorney Sillers tried
to have the amount Increased to $500, but
failed.
He said, since the wife had applied for
n divorce the man had threatened to end
her life, and she was afraid to return to
her rooms.
