A WILLY SAVAGE.

a Fort Sill, o. T., correspondent
says, army officers there deny that
Geronimo the old Apache chief, is be-
coming insane. Geronimo was brought
to Fort Sill from Fort Pickens, Fla,
five years ago, where he was im-
prisoned first after his capture in Ari-
zona by General Miles in 1887.
'sThat old sinner is as sane as am,
said an officer at the fort.
"Whenever you hear rumors to the
effect that Geronimo is crazy it may
be SCI down that he is planning to
fool the guards and escape. We ex-
pect hum to attempt to get away any
time"
Geronimo is great card player,
said the officer, "and his tricks at
monte and poker keep the rest of the
Indians around the fort broke rearly
all the time. We had a great card
game here short time ago with Ge :
ronimo against the field. The old
sinner broke about a dozen soldiers
and then commenced on his fellow
Indians. ITe played them for blank
cts, feathers and plumes, and now he
has the finest wardrobe of any Indian
on the reservation. He feels prouder
of his poker trophies than small boy
does of his first pair of pants,
:One curious thing about it is that
Geronimo nearly always gives his
winnings to civilized Indian children
to spend for an education. Notwith
standing the fact that he can neither
read nor write, he insists that the
rising generation should follow in the
white mans trail. ."-Prospector.

BOGUS HAkEs.

In this age of schemes and enter
..sprises the people are prepared for
most anything in the moneg-makiug
line, but the originality OF two San
Joaquin county farm hands really en- :
titles them to distinction. Taking
advantage of the Belgian hare craze,
these thrifty youths procured cheap
team of horses, covered wagon and a
stock of jack rabbits from the plains
of their home county. They painted
on the sides Of the wagon the words
"Piate Rabbitry," and then set out
to supply the growing demand for
Belgian hares of the choicest breed.
The young men represented that they
were overstocked and we're forced to
sell at any price. They disposed of
many pairs of full blooded jack rab-
bits at prices ranging from $5 to $25
pair, and were doing land office
business. The pair struck Livermor4
recently, and in short time had
cleared up $3.50. In dividing the
proceeds of the days sales there was a
misunderstanding and fight fol-
lowed. The one who was worssed in
the fight told a sympathizer of the
hare fraud and stated that a claim at
Cape Nome was not to lie compared
with their scheme.
Before anJ action could be taken
the two had patched up their differ
ences and departed for pastures new,
and they are now probably selling
jack rabbits worth 70 cents dozen
to San Ramon fanciers at fancy
prices. .-Chsonicle

If the heirs of Lafayette had con-
tinued to hold the land voted to him
by congress in 1924, they now would
be rich men. On the occasion Of his
visit to this country he was allotted by
formal vote one township of land, to
be located on any of the unoccupiad
lands of the United States. The lo"a :
tion was made in what was then known
as West Florida, being township !
north, range l east, containing "a
O28. So acres. This land covers psrt
of what is now the city of Tallahass g.
A patent was promptly issued to him,
and the Land Office knows nothing Of
what flu, ther transfers have followed
since that time.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brsdy, mar
rating his experiences as "A Mission
airy ip the Great West" in the May
Ladies' Home Journal. i've ridden
and hunted with him, eaten and
laughed with him, camped aid slept
with him, wrestled and prayed with
him, and I always found him a rather
good sorl; fair, honorable, generous,
kindly, loyal to his friends, his own
worst enemy. The impression he
makes when he rides through town
in drunken revel, shooting miscel-
laneous'y at every thing, is deserved
ly bad one, l grant you-bat you
should see him on the prairie in a
round up or before stampede;
there he is hero.

Complaint goes up from almost
every county in the territory about
the Jail expenses. 1t is laid at the
doors of the justices Of the peace, who,
it is claimed, rind parties over to the
grand jury on petty charges and they
are kept ir Jail at the county's ex-
pense until the grand jury conyenes.
A large per cent. of the criminal
charges are ignored by the grand jury,
but the expense up to the meeting OF
the grand jury is thrown on the
county. In this county about one
third of the charges were ignored by
the late grand jury. Nineteen charges
were investigated and thirteen bills OF
indictment returned. District at :

of warrants unless there is reasonable
ground for believing that an otfensc
