Was it Indians?

Theodore Hampe, who resides near Fucker, sends us the annexed rather startling intelligence: -... .. . During Tuesday night the wires of my pasture fence were cut and five horses stolen, one of the remaining an imals being wounded. Two of the stolen horees broke away and returned the fol- lowing afternoon, but the thieves got away with the other three. Followed the tracks through very rough and steep ground to she head of Price canyon, the trail evidently leading into San Simon valley. On the trail found one horse killed and meat cut off Indian fashion, two strips from the neck, ribs from one side and part of the hip, Near the horse moctasin tracks. It seems that two or three Indians were the thieves.-Ranga NeWs

A Description.

The Range News has the following description of the body founh in the Sulphur Spring valley, mention of which was made in the ORE columns:
 "The man vas about feet 10 inches in height and would weigh in life about TO bounds. The hair was light brown, inclined to sandy. The mustache was not heavy and sandy in color. The face also had about two weeks growth of beard, Complexion light. He appear ed to be about thirty years of age. The @ was no mark by which the identity of the body could be established, except that the middle finger of the right hand had defective nail, probably from the effects of a felon. This finger was re- moved and kept for purposes of identifi- cation. Dr. Alton thought the man had been dead about six weeks."

QUEER POINT RAISED.
Effort to Set Aside Foreclosure Be
cause Former Owner Is
an Indian.

I z. Lambert, as United States dis
tr1ct attorney, and David Overmyer
have brought an action in the district
court for Eli Nadeau against the Mutual
Life Insurance company and a large
number of other defendants to set aside
a judgment of 81. $500 which the in
surance company obtained against
Nadeau some time ago in a foreclosure
SUIT, and also to set aside the sale of a
quarter section of land which was sold
at Sher1mS sale as the resuIe of the
foreclosure suit
The action involves a peculiar ques-
ton Of law. Nadeau as is well known
as a PottaWatomie Indian, and as such
as q ward of the government. There is
a FEDERAL statute which says that an
indian can not sue or be sued except
through the federal authorities. When
the insurance company brought the
it did so direct ana no summons was
issued on the United States district at
t0rney, as is usual in such cases. and
as has. been done in nearly all Of the
numerous. suits to which Nadeau has
been q party since his failure which
was brought on by the absconding of
B. H. Macke with S40,o Of Nadeau's
money.
In the petition in this suit the allega-
tons are made that Nadeau is Potta-
watonie Indian, that he belongs to the
Prairie band, and lives upon the gov
eminent reservation. The statutes
governing the Indians are set forth.and
the allegation is made that no suit can
be maintained against an Indian who
resides on reservation without max
ing the government party to the suit.
On these grounds the court is asked to
set the judgment and sale aside

TFrom the New York WorId7
William Waldorf Astor was not an
American in any except the nominal
sense of the word. Usually when his
name came before the public it was in
connection with some act of snobbish-
ness or bad taste that made Americans
wish foreigners could not refer to him
as your ow-countryman.
Also it was extremely distasteful to
him to think of himself as an American.
1T reminded him of the ancestral butch
ers and peddlers. And when he talked
to Americans Of his pet deIusion-his
unfounded and now publicly exploded
notion that he was descended not from
German peasants but from naughty
French and Spanish nobles-he knew
that they were laughing in their sleeves
at him.
America retains all of him that was of
any value-his property That remains
here to enrich this country. Only its
Income goes abroad, and it has been 60

But it is difficult to understand vvhv

do you believe that there is anyone
who sees and hears more funny things
than a policeman" said one of the
members of the force a few days ago.
Il don't believe there is. 1t seems as
II policemen are bound to run across
the all that is ludicrous. Now for in
stance not long ago the fredepartment
was called out one night about 1 O'Clock
to answer an alarm of fire. 1t was
raining in bucketfuls. The firemen put
out the fire and were returning to their
stations all soaking wet and tired when
waved his hand at the driver of the
front engine. The driver stopped Has
there been a. fire?' asked the policeman.
NO, We have been out for exercise an
swered the driver in disgust.
I remember one night the patrol
wagon was called to the railroad yards.
A boy had been run over by the train.
The body was put in the wagon and ia
ken to an undertaker's. While the wa
gon was backed up to the front door q
man rushed up. What's the natter
he asked of the driver. "A man was run
over by the train answered the driver.
Was he killed?' was the next query.
Well, do you suppose he would be
brought to an undertaken if he had
fainted?' enquired the driver.
Some funny rewards are made. Not
long ago a man offered the police his
gold watch that was stolen If they
could find it. He said he did not care
about the watch but he wanted to know
who stole it. Another man had a shot

the thief if he was a co1ored man and

white man ought to know better.

Fort Scott, Aug. 5.-The Deacon Jones

and Constable Rufe Taylor late last
night and six or eight men were arrest
ed. The place was raided, it is said,
upon complaint of an Arcadia man who
it is claimed was Iured into it by one
of the cappers and swindled out of
about $500 by a stuffed poker game
known to the fraternity as the big
nit"
Tom Tyner and r. S. Reaves, two
men from Oklahoma, it is said, were
the head men of the game and they had
four men in their employ. The authori-
ties released the four employees and al
lowed the two men to plead guilty to a
club house count of selling liquor. The
editor of the city court assessed the
smallest possible fine against them
500 and eost-and they paid up and
said they would leave town, though
they are still here. The local gamblers
interceded for the strangers.

instance the young man had plenty OF

formed the ceremony has never re-

Bond, he has taken up with the depart

Mr.. Curtis said ne then took up the
question of the building officers quar-
