There is now under treatment at the
agency hospital in Keshena an Indian
who has parted with his scalp-lock. His
name is Wabeno, and the story of the
loss of his hair is thus told by Keshe-
matte as follows: "Wabeno attended a
dance at the house of a friend. There
was quite crowd present, and everyone
was having big time until Wabeno be-
gan paying attentions to the wife of the
host. The latter grew angry and expos
tulated with his spouse, but in vain, and
later discovering the pair together in an
adjoining room, seized broadax and aim
ed blow at Wabeno's head which would
have terminated his earthly career then
and there had it struck him fairly. How
ever, Wabeno lodged and escaped with
only the loss of his scalp-lock, which was
removed in a manner to do credit to an
Apache" The injured man was taken
to the hospital at Keshena and is now
getting along as well as could be expected,
though it is doubtful if any amount Of
hair remover can again cause hair to
grow on the bald spot on his head.
