THE LOT SMITH MURDER.
The Charge Against Chat-Chose Dis
misspd


missed.
The case Of Chat-Chnse, the Naval
Indian who killed Bishop Lot Smith
near Tuba City on June 20, 1892, was
dismissed Monday, the grand jury not
returning an indictment against him.
The indictment found against Chat
Chose in 1892 was dismissed on motion
of his attorney, 4. NJ. Doe, on account
of the illegally of that grand jury.
The case has cost the county good
many dollars, aud there has been con-
siderable feeling between the settlers
at Tuba City and the Indians over the
matter, and the liual settlement of the
trouble will be relief to both parties.
Lot Smith was a prominent member
OF the Mormon church, being bishop
and in charge of the stake at Tuba,
and he helped make the early history
of the Mormons in Utah and Arizona.
During his life at Tuba he had more
or less difficulty with the Navajos on
account of water privileges, and the
trouble finally eliminated in a fight
with Chat Chose and the killing of
Smith.
On the day of the shooting Smith
found band Of sheep in one of his
fields and began shooting them, killing
number. As he rode across the field
he saw the Indian and began shooting
at him. The Indian returned the fire,
shooting Smith through the body.
After being shot Smith rode to his
house, nearly mile away. As he dis
mounted he said: II tried to bluff the
wrong man."
He was taken into the house and
examined, and his wound found to be
fatal. The shooting occurred about 2
o'clock in the afternoon. and Smith
died at 2 O'Clock the next morning.
There were no witnesses to the
tragedy, and number of Intellectual
attempts have at various times since
the killing been made to arrest Chat
Chose, but each time he evaded the
vigilance of the sheritf's posse and
escaped into the reservation, and the
agent Of the Navajos was appealed 10
many times to have the Indian turned
0vertO he authorities for trial. But each
time some excuse was offered for not
doing so.
When Sheriff Cameron took posses
sion of The office he determined to get
Chal-Chose If it were possible. He
soon became convinced that The only
way to get him was tarough the agrui

SPAIN FROM A CAR WINDOW.
The Country Was Dry and Dusty and

1t was fiery hot. 1t was noon when
we reached the junction of Bobadilla,
where we turned eastward toward

lay back, painting, tanning ourselves
with our hats and our guide-books. We

Ingenious Chin panzees,

A recent report by Prof. o. F. Cook
on colonization in Liberia gives some
interesting facts about the chimpan-
zees living in that country. 1t appears
that these animals, which bear such
curious resemblances to men that the
natives call them "old-time people,"
are very fond of the flesh of land crabs,
which they dig out of the burrows. To
crack open the shells of the crabs they
dash them against rocks. They also
crack nuts with stones in the regular
human fashion; and most curious of
all, perhaps, they kill pythons by grasp.

and beating their heads with stones.

Every photographer knows that sin
gular differences exist in the actinic ac-
ton of light on succeeding days which,
SO far as general appearances go, seem
to be equally favorable for photographs
ic purposes. This may be partly eN-
planned by the recent discovery by
Monsieur DeclauX of Paris. that the
Odors arising from vegetation and dis
seminated through the air diminish the
actinic power of the solar radiations
which reach the surface of the ground.

The best known sulphur deposits in
the world are those of Sicily, but ac-
cording to Mr.. Eugene A. Smith, of the
University of Alabama, Texas may pos
sibly enter the field as producer of
commercial sulphur. The deposits eX-
amined in Texas are situated in large
basin some forty miles northwest of
PecOs, but others are said to exist both
to the west and north of this locality
The nearest railroad is twenty miles
from the sulphur basin, and the sur
rounding country contains no fuel and
very little surface water.

Going Astray at Sea.

The difficulty of keeping modern
steamship on straight course is point
ed out in the Scientific American. The
helmsman steers by the compass. and
while a single degree of deviation an
pears very small on the compass card,
1t would, if continued. carry n fasr
steamship four miles out of her course
IN single days run. Yet the compass
gives the course more accurately than
the ship can be steered. Owing to the
DETECTING power of the waves and The
rolling of the ship, which causes tlrse
one of her propellers and then the
other, if she be of the twin-screw tyna
to exert the greater effect, the course
Is continually shifted little this way
and that, despite the helm. The only
safety is in correcting the compass
course by frequent observations of the
sun, moon and stars.

Many insects and other members of
the animal kingdom mimic the forms
and colOrs of plants and other natural
objects, for the supposed purpose Of
concealment from enemies, but it is
rare to find a similar popularity in
plants. An instance of this, however
has been noticed at the Cape of Good
Hope, where species of mesembryan-
themum, or fig-marigold, so closely re-
Sembles the stones amid which it grows,
both in color and form, that it frequent
ly escapes the attention of cattle and
other browsing animals. South Africa
presents other instances of what is
called protective mimicry in plants.
