West Pointer With Beers.

Our fellow townsman l.. L.
Blake was a caller at this Office
this morning and left with us a
clipping from the Chicago Tribune
which we publish herewith. The
Blake mentioned therein is his
brother, j. Y. F. Blake, familiar
ly dnown as Bo. He has lived in
Texas and is probably known to
some of our people. The Tribune
says:
The dispatches from South Africa
have made several references to an
American army officer named Blake
who is serving with the Beers
against the British, and who is
credited with having once resided
in Detroit.
The news is of special interest in
Grand Rapids, because it was from
there that Blake hailed and it is
there that his friends live.
Blake is a graduate of West
Point from Missouri. He was a
dashing cavalry officer, and while
stationed in western fort he be-
came acquainted with a wealthy
young society woman of Grand
Rapids. They were married, and
Blake resigned his commission to
return to Grand Rapids, with her.
This was the first known of him
there.
In 1885 Blake left, announcing
that he was going to Africa upon
an extended hunting trip. 1t is
said that over trivial incident he
took deep-rooted dislike to Cecil
Rhodes, and this is the cause of
his enlistment with the Beers.
Here's to the kicker, the treach-
erous kicker, the kicker who never
is true; who always is crying and
never is trying some good for his
town to do. No use to correct him,
and you need not expect him to get
to the front like man.. while 9th
ers will hustle. he'll sit down and
rustic objections to raise to each
plan. But when the brute dies,
we'll pause with dry eyes, on his
fortunate condition to dwell, and
we'll envy the devil who'll handle
the shovel. when he roasts the old
kicker in-well. l.-Ex.

HAD A HIGH OLD TIME.
Gamblers Ran Boat and Passengers Missed
the Yacht Raca.

uuo 4hCub QhC0s
New York, October THE Philadel-
phia excursion steamboat Georgiana,
which went out to the cup race this
morning, returned to this city this aft
ernoon with her flag half-mast and the
American flag hoisted with the Union
down, indicating death on board, and
wanting assistance. AS she passed the
battery the captain sung out to the po-
lice tug that mutiny occurred on
board, and four or five persons were
killed. The police captain called num-
Der of policemen together, and started
off with the tug after the Georgiana,
which was making for North river.
The passengers on the Georgiana, who
attempted to land at the pier, were
clubbed back by the police, but one man
dropped into rowboat and landed.
This passenger who refused to give his
name, said the Georgiana had been
chartered by an organized gang Of
gamblers. Gambling games were run
on deck, and no attempt was made to
reach the race course. The Georgiana
d'awdled along to a point Off Coney Is
land, then slowed up. Passengers then
waited on the captain and demanded
that the vessel should proceed to the
race course or their money be refunded.
The appeal was unavailing, and a riot
ensued. Several were badly beaten. No
one was killed.

A "BLACK JACK" STORY.
How Tom Ketchum Became a Good Marks.
man,

1t Is related Of Ketchum that, when
only boy roaming west Texas ranch,
in the enjoyment of all of the freedom
and boundless privileges of the original
red man, he was summoned as wit
ness in a criminal case. He paid no at
tention to the summons, and from that
time until one fateful night last month,
when he attempted to rob train alone
and unaided, the strong arm of the law
has been constantly reaching for him.
The nature Of the man is shown by the
we'll authenticated story to the effect
that, during his boyhood days on the
ranch, one Of his chief sources Of pleas
ure was gained from somewhat pecul-
lar habit he had of hiding behind the
chaparral on some lonely hill and from
dom missing-the Mexican herders on
the plains below. He has always up
held the reputation for nerve which he
made early in his career, and his last
exploit showed that he was game to the
backbone. He has never been known to
''quit," as many man who has resist
ed him can testify, and as many more
could testify IL they were living now.
He is in many ways remarkable char
acter, and. had he applied his peculiar
talents In other channels, he could have
accomplished wonderful ends. As 1t is,
it seems that he Is doomed to take his
last look at life through the bars of a
prison cerl, and that he will not even
have the satisfaction, SO dear to men OF
his class, Of dying with his boots on
Ell Paso Herald.
