murder Of Arthur Brown. and convicted
Of involuntary manslaughter in the com
mission Of an unlawful act, was sentenc-
ed yesterday by Judge Falligant to spend
two years in the state penitentiary.

of the recommendation 70 the mercy Of
the court, Judge Falligant reduced IL to
two years. The jury did not believe Ca
son guilty OF murder, for none of them
thought it was his intention to kill Brown,
but they all practically considered that
he ought TO be punished for his careless
use of weapon through which the life
Of a human being was taken.
Judge il. ID. ID. Twiggs and Mr.. w. c.

ton and they will not apply for a new

AFTER INDIAN WIVES.
Whites Who Wish to Become squaw
Men and Secure Valuable Lands.

According 10 the recent ruling of the
interior department August Is was the
last date on which it was possible TO
qualify as a Cherokee citizen in the
Cherokee Strip" and as a consequence
great number of scheming white men
were hunting Indian girls for wives, TO
take advantage of the laws and become
a squaw man before that date.
Each Indian girl is entitled TO 160
acres of land in the Indian territory and
a share in the large sum of money held
in trust by the government for the
Cherokees. Thousands of white men
have already acquired valuable lands
by marrying into the tribes, and all the
eligible Indian maidens were being
courted with as much ardor as titled
foreigners display in their efforts 10
win the hearts and fortunes of Ameri-
can heiresses.
Notwithstanding the mercenary mo-
tives of their suitors, the Indian girls
readily accept marriage proposals from
white men, observation having taught
them that most squaw men treat their
wives with more consideration than
do the full-blooded braves. The
boom in the matrimonial market be-
came greater as the day approached
when citizenship rights mightno longer
be acquired by marriage. and all the
ministers on the reservation and even
over the Arkansas border had their
hands full. Many OF the Cherokee girls,
despite their dark skins. possess con-
siderable beauty and much intelligence.
and some of them are graduates of the
best Indian schools.
The results of intermarriage with
whites are being watched with interest
by students of the Indian question. and
the belief is gaining ground in the west
that the allotment of Indian lands in
severalty and the gradual assimilation
of the Indians by the dominant race will
in few years relieve the government of
the problem that would otherwise never
be satisfactorily solved.-Cincinnat

Mon Who Wear YeiIs.

African races whom he describes in his
book about Timbuctoo) wear wells.
The rearing of horses, oxen and goats
is their chief industry, the milk and
flesh Of these animals, with the addi-
ton of dates, furnishing their princi-
pal nourishment. For the protection
of eyes and lungs they adopt head
dress of two wells. One, the "nikab," is
rolled round the temples, hanging
down in front to protect their eyes;
while the other, the ''litham." reaches
from the nostrils to the edge of their
clothing. The wells are never removed,
even at meal times, and the garb has
become so much part of them that
any one being deprived of it is un-
recognizable by friends or relatives

the snake was really after. y chip

young chipmunk with il, and deliber-
ately began 10 swallow the chipmunk

an older and larger chipmunk that
jumped upon the snakes back and of

a dozen times and the snake writhed and
dashed its body around.
Meanwhile our boat slowly drifted
within six feet OF the struggle and
grounded there. Then ! saw that the
snake had been cut in half a dozen
places by the sharp teeth OF the little
squirrel and was trying TO get rid of the
one il had tried TO swallow. 1t seemed
TO have difficulty in this, and before it
succeeded in ejecting il still another
chipmunk arrived on the scene and at
tackled the writing snake. The,two lit

The two old chipmunks then turned
their attention TO the little one, which
did not seem 10 be much the worse for

over its escape. Suddenly they were

WILL BE SAVED BY A SLAVE.
old African to Use His Klondikc Gold
for His Former Masters Daughter.

Among the lucky miners in the Klon-
dixie is former slave. a griZzled old
African who bears the high-sounding
name of ST. John Atherton. lie has dug
out $4,000 in gold. and has couple of
claims which may be reasonably eX-
pected to yield 100000 more. He is
probably the one man in Alaska who is
planning to do n novel act of charity
when the time comes for him to aban-
don his mining work and return to the
civilized world.
Before the war Atherton was owned
by Georgia family which had large
plantation near Atlanta. When he got
bis freedom he drifted about the coun-
try doing odd jobs and finally struck the
Yukon valley, where he got work as a
freighter. The ex-slave had a hard time
of it for years and when the Klondike
excitement broke out he made his way
TO the gold fields. There he toiled in
diggings which had been abandoned by
white men until he found a paving
streak. since which he has been accumu-
lating money very fast. When asked
what he intended TO do with his s30,o
which he has now on deposit in Dawson
City. Atherton said:
I'm going back to Georgia and buy
the old plantation"
Buy the old plantation? Why, what
do you mean?"
when / was slave my master was
rich man. He was kind to me and his
daughter was just like him. Things
didn't go well with him after the war
and some years ago he had to mortgage
the plantation. Since then he died, and
his daughter is now living on the old
place alone. The time is coming when
ii must be sold il the mortgage is not
paid, and then she will have no home.
What l want to do is to get back to
Georgia next spring and buy up that
mortgage. Then will turn the planta-
ton over to my old masters daughter
and nobody can drive her away from it,"
"But she won't like the idea of hav-
ing one of her former slaves for boss"
Huh! I don't want to be boss. I'll
just stay around and look after things
for her like used to. Somebody's got
to do it and know she'd rather have
me than stranger. twill take $4,000
or $4,000, and the rest of my money will
keep me as long as 1 live."-Chicago

is A DEATH TRAP.
A Novel Plan of Protection to the City
of Halifax.

1t is probably no: generally known
outside of the English officers in COM
mand of the station that Georges is
land, in Halifax harbor, is huge pit
filled with water, and that if an at
tacking party succeeded in passing the
forts at the entrance to the harbor and
landed they would be precipitated into
the water and drowned The surface
of the ground is sodden and planted
with shrubbery, and is apparently
solid, but the only really solid part Of
it is a narrow board walk on which
the sentries pace to and fro. In case
an invading party took the island for
the purpose Of commanding the city of
Halifax they would break through and
fall into the pit about Is feet below
the surface The excavation was made
about GO years ago. and the secret was
kept for not less than 30 years.
1t was not until 1867 that the dis
covery was made by two men in boat,
driven ashore in gale. One OF them
attempted to make his way to the
dwelling occupied by the garrison and
suddenly disappeared. His companion
happened to get a footing on the board
walk. Discovered by the sentry, he was
summarily elected from the island, be-
ing placed aboard his boat and being
sent adrift in the storm. He succeeded
in reaching Halifax. The man who
broke through was drowned. The
story got spread about, but was not
believed. and as no civilians are per
mitted to land at Georges island the
peculiar system of protection is to-day
practically a secret.-N. Y. Mail and
