A strange story is told Of how q obi1d,,

the means of avoiding a serious war If
happened when Mr.. Bourke was in Art

however, she broke down and sobbed inst

then Mr.. BUurke had an idea From the
adjutant's wife he borrowed a pretty doll
that belonged to her little daughter. and
when the young Apache was made to I'M

sobs ceased and she fell asleep.
When morning came the doll was still
clasped in her arms. She played with 1t

ever getting back to her tribe had left
her.
Several days passed, and as no over
had been made by the tribe they sent
her, with the doll still in her possession,
back to her people.
Mr.. Bourke had no idea of the effect
his benevolent act would have upon the
Indians. When the child reached them.

She was kindly received and Hospitality

what are We going to do about it?'
That's what the squatters on the Min
neapolfs East side flats were asking one
another yesterday and no one seemed
able to answer the question. For five
years passed it's been, What are you
going to do about it?'' and the question
was put to the park board 1t is up to
the squatters now, however, and If they
don't move Of their own accord the sher-
iff will take hand
Last Friday they were notified that
but three more days would be given them
in which to vacate. Yesterday there
We're seven houses still occupied. One
of the families had decided to move out
without asking further questions, but
the balance We're determined to stay just
as long as they could. These seven
families are all that remain of thirty
three that were on the flats last May.
Twenty-six have moved since that time.
Those that still remain claim that they
cannot afford TO move; that it is an in
justice to ask them to do so, and that
they wont move until the sheriff backs
q wagon up before their door.
There is a feeling among them all that
the park board has no right to evict
them. They believe the property upon
which they have squatted to be govern
ment property. The records of the park
board show, however, that it was pur-
chased from Farnham and others and
the the park board has a clear title to it.
The park board people claim that while
the squatters will not interfere with
the work of grading the boulevard they
will interfere with the identifying of
the grounds below the boulevard and
between it and the waters edge. The
sheriff has the matter III his hands and
it is expected will act today. This was
the notice given to the fiat jewellers last
friday aud no change in che plans has
been made.

that II we could arrange to go then she
would appreciate the favor, as the ad-
ditional days time would enable her to
get moved before Sunday.
To make long story short, my wife
hurriedly packed our trunks, and we got
out that afternoon about o'clock. You
remember the big electrical storm of Fri
day night, don't you? Well, one of the
storms many streaks of lightning struck
the boarding house, and damaged it to the
extent Of several hundred dollars The
room in which the most damage was
done, too, was the room my wife and
myself had just moved out Of. AS the
hour was about that when, after having
eaten dinner, we were accustomed to be
sitting in the room, the chances are that
one, If not both, of US would have been
hurt. My wife is as pleased over our
escape as if she had been presented
with a pair Of diamond earrings, and
I'm just a little inclined to shake hands
with myself, also"
