BOTH ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD.
California the Home of Two Very Aged
Indians

On the north fork of Cache creek
in Lake county California, there lives
an old withered Indian woman, Boo
Tchi-ka by name, who is popularity
supposed to be at least 100 years old
She was a very old woman in 1855, when
Lieutenant Lyons punished the Indians
OF that county for the murder of Stone
and Kelsey, two early settlers on Clear
lake. odd Zeb,'' an Indian who is over
100 years of age. is the youngest son of
Boo-Tchi- ka, who had a family of eight
children, all of whom are long dead eX-
cept Zeb Zeb's great grandson is a
man over 30 years of age and his own
numerous years are pretty well proved
by records and the memories of many
old white people who when children
knew "Old Zeb' and his phenomenally
aged mother. BoO-Tchi-Ka is totally
blind and deaf and for years has made
no effort at communication with any
one. She cannot walk without assist
ance and is cared for most kindly by
her tribespeOple. who regard her with
superstitious awe.
Since the death of old 'Vanuuero" a
few days ago, the oldest Indian now
living in the Monterey county aims
house is ''old Parito," a Yaqui Indian
who first saw the light of day over 100
years ago. The real name of this In
dian is not known, even to his best
friends now living. These who once
knew it are all dead, and the present
generation has never been able to learn
it. For some reason best known to
himself he refuses to tell
Old Parito was a fullgrown man
when the MeXicans rebelled against
Spanish rule in 1910. He was then
known as young man, but he fought
with his tribe in that war; and says
proudly that he did his share of the
work.
When the Mexicans had gained their
Independence he, with the rest of his
tribe, claimed equal privileges with the
Victors. As this was not granted a gem
eral uprising occurred, and war that
only ended a few years ago began
Parito took part in this fighting, but
when certain rights had been obtained
he emigmted to what was then known
as Upper California.
This was in 1927 and he resided here
until the war with the United States
occurred in lS4S. When the gold fever
broke out he worked in the mines, but
was too feeble to do very much when
he came in competition with the young
er men. AT that time he was about so
years of age.
He says he has a sister named Anna
Maria Vaquero living on the Yaqui riv-
er, who has property belonging to him.
She is his youngest sister and was 100
years old when he last heard of her.
AS I was leaving / asked Parito what
he thought of the war between the
United States and Spain. His reply
was: Il have seen that country (Spain)

DIDN'T DISCOMFORT THE ORATOR.

on business; "at least, it's still a power
in my state. One of the most famous old
time orators in Southern Tennessee was
William, universally known as Bill

him from accommodating any property.

Grove resided was decidedly democratic

siderable distinction for four years After
the close of the war Bill became demo-

that he had been a WING and lost no op-
portunity of irritating the old lawyer
"A few years ago the surviving confed-
crate soldiers Of Southern Tennessee held
a grand reunion, Bill Grove being the
orator of the day. The opera house was
crowded and Bill was doing honor to
himself and his section in delivering a
mastery and telling address. when while
speaking of the outbreak of the war an
old democrat in the rear of the ROOM
hoping to embarrass the orator, shouted
out:

1.-THE face of the old lawyer flushed, but
he was real orator and had evidently
no intention of spelling the well-rounded
period that came next in order or losing
the opportunity of making a grand eli

who had sought to confuse him. but bided
his time and continued in ringing tones:

Quite number of vags have been ar

find the town too hot for them. as they
readily accept the offer of floater and
leave town in a hurry Several of them
were arrested early yesterday and they
left town during the day. One of them,
man named James Baden, was arrest

near the Montana Union depot, charged
with vagrancy. begging on the streets.
and also of being a suspicious character.
He was not offered any f1oater, but will
be arraigned this morning before Judge
Fitzgerald in the police court.
About 10 head of cattle were impounded
yesterday and this brings the total of the
animals now in the pound to more than
so. Chief of Police White yesterday de-
clared that as the weather is now very
mild there are no reasons why the animals
should not be kept from roaming about
the streets. and he has instructed the
Cow catcher to impound all cattle found
in the streets.
Chief White made a tour of inspection
of the back yards and alleys yesterday,
and he reports that he found them in a
cleaner condition than they We're last
spring. He instructed the residents that
they would have to see that their yards
were cleaned of all the rubbish and the
piles of winter refuse.
The chief acknowledges that it is we'll
nigh impossible for the residents to set in
to do the cleaning just now, as the
ground is little frosty, but with such
weather as yesterday a few more days
will be sufficient to enable everybody to
give the back yards a grand cleaning up.

shown by the latest census, that the
population Of the whole island Of Luz

BY the census Of 1890, Illinois had
sixty-eight persons to the square mile
