How Runaway Automobiles Terror
fze Partisan Bou1evards.
Runaway horses used to furnish an occa-
sional diversion on the Paris b~oulevards,
but these incidents have now become
somewhat rare. A more modern accident
has made its appearance. To-day it is the
runaway automobile, which now and then
runs amuck in the streets of the French
capital, frightening pedestrians, smashing
other vehicles and causing the excitable
gendarmes no end of trouble.
The accompanying illustration, taken
from a Paris paper, illustrates one of these
up to date mishaps. A motor carriage,
left standing unguarded at the curb by its
conductor, has in some way been set in
motion, perhaps by the jostle of other car
riages or by a defect in the machinery. 1t
has torn along the boulevard, acquiring
momentum at every new revolution of the
wheels. In it's mad purse all apple cart
has been upset. The careless conductor
and all the gendarmes in the vicinity are
giving chase.
A runaway automobile presents a diff
cult proposition. 1t cannot be scared to
a standstill by waving a coat or blanket,

THE CRUEL NAvAJOES.
How They Tortured to Death One of
Their Medicine Men.

The Navajo Indian is far from civilized.
He is still cruel and superstitious. The
recent torturing of a medicine man be-
longing to the tribe is a case in point.
Bin> Nimalgo was the name of the unfor-
tunate sorcerer, and this is the story as
told by "Doc'' Obija, a reliable Navajo,
who witnessed it:
ssWhen the spot sickness (smallpox)
came upon the Navajoes, they knew that
there was magic. That was why our men
were pitted.
"Bine Nimalgo was a bad Indian. He
deserved to die. His medicine was bad
was why he had been driven out by the
tribe long ago and lived away from the
tribe. He had his revenge.
sfIt is not true that the sick went to him
to be cured. They would not do that. He
did not cure people, but made them i'll.
They feared tine bad medicine.
"Bine Nimalgo was very strong and
very wicked. He had a magic bow and
arrow, with which he could shoot from
very far away the spot sickness and other
bad things into his enemies, and he hated
everybody because he was bad.
IHlS Is why tHcy Weut W 1ho uoGoA
(hut) of Bine Nimalgo. There were seven
squaws and five fighting men who went.
I do not know their names, but they We're
all Navajoes. They did not fear death for
themselves. They went for the tribe.
"They reached the hogan and danced
the death dance a long time. They tied
Bine to a tree that he might see the dance.
It WAS a dance for him.
"Then they told Bine Nimalgo how one
by one he had slain the young men and
the babies. And one by one, as they told
him this, they broke the bones in him
broke them in short pieces, beginning
with the little bones, and after that the
great ones that do not break easily.
"He lived long, for he was a very strong
man. The bad medicine made him strong.
"They took off his scalp, for he was an
enemy. They cut off his ears. Where he

crest Of a low range of hills. 1t vas evil
dent to the most inexperienced recruit
that it would have been madness to at
tack them, for the Indians were swarming
over the hills like b~lackbirds.
In this emergency ssLong John" rode
forward between the two lines and signaled
for a parley. The Texans soon afterward
saw a big chief, glittering with bright or
naments and proudly swaying under q
panoply of gaudily colored plumes, gallop
into thu valley and circle around the dar-
ing Texan, threateningly brandishing a
glittering spear.
This chief was Fire King. one of the
most fearless and warlike savages that
ever fought the people of the frontier.
"Long john challenged him to COM
bat, and the chief promptly announced his
willingness to abide by the result of the
battle between himself and Straight Talk.
The terms were soon arranged, and the
two warriors rode back to their respective
commands to make their comrades ac-
quainted with the stipulations of the car

as Long john dropped over on the side
Of his horse to escape the shower of arrows
that were falling about him. One of these
wounded him in the thigh, but he was
perfectly familiar with the tactics of his
antagonist, and whom a favorable mo-
ment arrived he fred under the neck of

Fire Kings shoulder.
The Indians right arm dropped help
lessly by his side, and "Long John" rode
straight at him in a furious gallop with
a yell of triumph. The Indian accepted
this bold maneuver, and when the two
horses met both rolled in the dust. "Long
John" was the first to regain his feet, and
he threw his bowie at Fire King and
drove it to the hilt in his breast. The In
dian signaled that he had received his
death wound, and, slowly staggering to
his feet, he steadied himself against a lit
tie tree and in low, weird tones began to
chant the Comanche death wall.
The Indians, who had been anxiously
watching the combat, knew what had
happened, and they all joined in the

adored chief, tenderly supporting him in

rode back to the line of Texans.

solemnly pledged their honor, their lives
and fortunes to the maintenance OF the
Union. Texas was carried away into the
rebellion by Wigfall and a lot of his fire
eating followers with a hurrah, and Long
john Williams s~houldered his musket n
went with the boys who had rode with him
against the Indians and Mexicans on a
hundred fields. One hot day in Virginia,
when bullets were raining upon the Con
federate columns and the air was full OF
shrieking shells and whistling canister,
ssLong john Williams, intoxicated with
the joy of battle, shouted:
'sCome on, comrades! Old Stonewal
says we must drive the enemy, and l
swear to you that no steel shall ever touch
my hair until we have entered Washing
ton city in Triumph"
He has kept his VOW, n in conse-
uuence of that fact strangers, he says, call
him an Ishmaelite, and school children
regard him with curiosity. He has not
cut his hair for about So years.
By all the noted frontier celebrities
"Long john was regarded as one of the
most fearless and daring Indian fighters
that ever rode with the old ranger col
INNS. When a mere boy, he was carried
off into captivity by the Comanches and
kept in their camp for two years. During
this neriod he accumulated a fund of
knowledge concerning the customs and
modes of warfare of the savages that was
of great value to him when he returned
to Texas and became a guide and leader
with the ranger companies.
At a time when the united tribes were
acting in concert under Buffalo Horns and
Fire King Long John" went alone into
the Tonkama camp and induced them to
break away from the Comanches and form
an alliance with the Texans h was a
master stroke in diplomacy that was worth
a dozen victories TO the Texans, for these
allies did most excellent service and re-
manned faithfully attached to the people
of the frontier and helped them light tneir
battles as long as there were nough Ion-
kamas to maintain tribal existence.
Upon another occasion "Long John" Was
n second time captured by his old friends,
the Comanches. When he reached their
camp in the Santa Rosa mountains, De-
yond the Rio Grande, he was surprised 70
fnd that the Indians had about 10 wnlbe
women and children In captivity, whom
they were forcing to do the most henial
service. Some of these poor unforSuna.es
had been tortured and made to run the

to this country some years ago with her

Gentlemen-I herewith return to your

structure within the fire limits. I am Of
the opinion that such a building should
be built of brick, if at all. Moreover the
fact that wagons are to be stored in this
building. which will necessarily be taken
in and out every day, thereby causing
much noise, is looked upon by the neigh

For these reasons and those advanced
in a veto of a former resolution on the

How He Killed Fire King, the Dread

vaIor.
One of the most picturesque characters
in Texas is 'sLong John" Williams. He
has for years been a companion of big
foot" Wallace, another noted ma in the
southwest. He is a friend of Jack Hays,
a famous Indian fighter, a noted ranger,
rough rider with Ben Mccullough and
Sull Ross and the high psivate who order
ed General Lee away from the firing line
at the Wilderness. He came out of the
woods on San Jacinto day and staid in
town long enough for a photographer to
get a snap shot at him.
ssThere is a man who has certainly been
in more battles thar he has got hairs in
his head, said an old veteran. And if
there ever lived a man." said another, "to
whom the word fear conveyed absolutely
nc meaning that man is Long John Viii
liams."
His long hair hangs down over his
shoulders as a constant reminder of a seri-
Gus VOW that he made during the wal be-
tween the states.
Mr.. Williams, like General Sam Hous-
ton and hundreds of others in Texas, was
opposed to the war. They had fought
long and well to secure the independence
of the Lone Star republic, and when adj
mitted to the union of states they bad
