IN WAR PAINT.
Apaches Start to Punish an
Offending Tribe.

Jerome, Ariz., Aug. 29.-Jerome was
thrown into fever of excitement today
by the sudden appearance of a band of
Apaches in war paint. Leaders of the
tribe stopped and purchased a large sup
ply of ammunition and hastily left for
Red Rock. The band was composed ex-
clusivclH of bucks.
A mounted correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press. overlook the Indians a few
miles from jerome and after considerable
persuasion was permitted to accompany
them on the journey of twenty miles
over the toughest country ina gina BILE IN
a canyon with perpendicular walls rising
to a height of hundreds of feet were the
remains of camp fire and nearby the
wigwam. In front of the Wigwam was the
body of squaw and papoose, while few
rods in front lay a buck. All three had
been horribly mutilated and scalped. The
hands and feet were cut off The Indians
formed a circle about the bodies and on
the dismembered bodies sWOre to work an
awful vengeance. The name Zuni occur
red many times. The bodies were buried
near the scene of the crime and the band
took the trail to the north.
The Zun1s are New Mexico tribe While
the Apaches are of Arizona. A bitter en-
nifty has existed for years between the
tribes, but truce has put an end to hos
tilities for a long time.
The three murdered Indians had left
their reservation near Camp Verde, and
We're surprised by a band of Zuuis.
The Apaches took the trail in the direc-
ton of New Mexico and old settlers fear
end in the determination of one of the
tribes. There are no soldiers within reach
and the settlers are not disposed to inter-
fere in the expected outbreak.

DESCRIPTION. OF THIBET.
Two Englishmen Travel Through the
Mysterious Land.

Tacoma, Wash, Aug. 29.-TWo Eng
hshmen, E. Amendsen and J. BONN,
have just traversed Chinese Thibet, sit
uated in the southwestern corner of
See Chuan Province. This country has
heretofore been a closed book to for
eigners, no Europeans having previous
ly penetrated it. Amendsen and his
companion bring much interesting in
formation.
Everything in this part of Thfbet
bears the stamp of poverty, but the
moral status of the people is much
above that of their Weather neighbOrs
of adjoining provinces. Robbers are
unknown and travel is safe. The roads
are mountainous and baggage animals
scarce. This Thibetan district is divided
into the Kingdoms of Mill and Chalag.
The supreme authority in each is in
vested in a prieSt-king. The king of
Mill spends his time between three diff
ferent lamaseries, the principal one be-
ing Niligenchen, where 300 lamas live.
Three days before reaching this place
Amendsen met the king at his Vain
lamaserf, and was cOurteously received
The king stated that his people We're
poor, but honest. He rules them with
an iron hand, severely furnishing all
wrongdoing. The kingdom of Chalag
is more pOpulous and wealthy. Gold is
known to exist there in paying quaint
ties. Chinese attempted to work it, but
the ThibetanS rose against them, driV-
ing them out with great loss. In Cha
lag AmendSen passed a large cave

Lii Hung Chang and his brother, Ii
Han Chang, have been recently buy
ing up a large amount of land near the

that the Chinese government has de-

on similar lines to Woo Sung. Earl Ii
learned this at Pekin, and Immediately
sent out agents to purchase all the
available property within the proposed
new port.
Japanese newspapers announce a case
of bona fide introduction of foreign
capital without official Intervention.
The amount is said to be 1000, 900 yen,
with interest at 6 per cent. The bonds
sold at 80. They run for thirty-six
years. but redemption is allowed after
ten years The money was raised for
the Kobe water works. That municipal
ity desired to borrow 1000, 600 yen, but
the American Trading company would
guarantee only 1000, 900. half of which
was due August IS, and the remainder
by December Is. J. Pierpont Morgan
of New York, is stated in Japan to
have made the loan. Efforts are being
made to further interest him.

Syl Dixon's Flour Train Comes
to Grief In Chicago.
B. & o. Refused to Haul the
Band and Pumpkins
WITHOUT EXTRA PAY
So the Exhibit Coaches Were
Taken on a Northern Tour.
The Band Boys Are Now Work
ing Back Home.

Syl Dinox's flour train which at
tracted such a large crowd while in
this city recently at the Rock Island
depot. came to grief at Chicago. The
Baltimore & Ohio, which was to pull
the train from Chicago to New York
wouldn't pull the exhibit car without
a payment of freight to equal that of
any other car in the train, or full fare
for all the men engaged as speakers
and belonging to the band. No provis-
ion was made for any such deal as this
and it spoiled all the plans. 1t is not
known just what led to the misunder-
standing 1t was supposed that the
Baltimore had agreed to have the train
on some such terms as the Rock Is
land had made and that road was ad-
VertiSed in such connection. But when
it came time for the train to leave the
Baltimore & Ohio wouldn't pull any
tinsel. They took the flour cars at
full freight rates for their loads and
that was all.
Mr.. Dixon then took his exhibit
coaches on a tour through Minnesota
and Will stop at Omaha on his way
home. Most of the band boys went
from Chicago to Milwaukee on an ex-
cursiOn steamer and then started for
home

DUPES AND THEIR MONEY.
Claimants of European Estates Try to
Get Back Their Cash

New York, Aug. ga Times special
from London says:
Thatcher, the man who is accused OF
sWindIing citizens of Ohio. Michigan
and other cities tried to commit sui
eide yesterday by taking a huge dose
of choral, on account of the many
Americans who came here for the pur-
pose of getting back the money which
he had induced them to give him in
order that he might secure for them
large unclaimed sums in chancery.
The visitors found his English wife
and told her their story. Thatcher
lives in a different part of the town
from his wife. The latter saw him and
told him that the Americans seemed
determined to get their money. He
promised to see them, but instead of
doing so he took the choral, evidently
feeling that he was at The end of his
rope.
His wifes mother seemed to guess
his intention and sent the wife back
to him. She found him almost at his
last gasp. A doctor was called in and
an antidote was administered. The doc
tor said that the man would have been
dead in another ten minutes Thatcher
is still Frustrated but was able to
send word to his victims that he would
be able to prove his honesty of pur-
pose.
Thatcher is without money and his
dupes, who thought to get back their
own, will lose the expenses of their trip
and get nothing but experience for
their trouble.

SUSAN B. ANTHONY ABROAD
CFrom the Washington Post.I

LFrom the Washington Post.1
Two little stories are told about that
stanchest exponent of Democratic and Re
publican institutions, Susan B. Anthony.
On one occasion she actually undertook to
introduce one of the greatest lords in the
king@om to two poor little girl employees
on a London paper, and, as if this We're
not sufficiently heinOus, she told him
frankly that she had forgotten his name.
He did not tell it to her, and if Gibson
could have caught the expression of his
Iordship's face he might have produced
his masterpiece
At another time she was invited to
swell luncheon to meet Princess Chris
tan, the queens daughter After shaking
hands with her and talking a few min
utes Miss Anthony sat down. Presently
some one came and told her. she must not
sit while royalty was standing Some of
her friends say that her eighty years and
the fatigue from the strain of the past
weeks justified her in sitting. Others say
that she could have stood up two hours
If she had had suffrage speech to make,
but that the awful breach of etiquette
was due to that spirit Of her Quaker an
cestors which made them face death rath-
er than take off their hat to a king. Miss
Anthony herself only laughs and refuses
to be interviewed

QUEER CASE OF DoNAHUE.
The Santa Fe Conductor Still Suffers
Pain In an Arm That Was
Amputated.

Conductor James Donahue, who had
his arm run over by a train and 50
badly mashed as to necessitate ampu-
tatiOn at the Santa Fe hospital in this
city, is a witness of the peculiar fact
that persons who undergo amputatiOns
often suffer pain in the lost member
or members. Mr.. DOnahue says that at
times the pain he feels in the arm that
was amputated is almost unbearab BILE.
and that it constitutes practically all
his suffering since he has been in the
hospital.
Chief Surgeon Raster tells of an in
stance of the same kind which came to
his attention not long ago. An employee
had one Of his hands amputated, and a
few days after the amputatiOn he COM
planned that something was cutting
into the palm of the amputated hand
with such force as to cause intense
pain. When the hand was taken off the
fingers We're doubled against the palm.
The hospital attendants unearthed the
hand, and on Strengthening out the
fingers found a large, sharp pebble
imbedded in the palm. The member
was then burned and the man suffered
no further pain.
