FAMOUS INDIAN.
Chief Spencer, of the Yakima, Reservs
tion, Nearly a Century Old.

tion, Nearly Century Old.
The Yakima Indians boast of an old
chieftain who is almost a centenarian.
one of the most noted characters of the
Yakima reservation. His memory is
clear and carries him back to many
fierce battles and skirmishes with the
whites who first pioneered the North
west. At one time Chief Spencer was
powerful enemy of the white man and
vowed that he would kill every man,
woman and child he met. This vow
vas made in revenge for the death OF
his family, whom company of whites
.ruelly massacred while they were on
the way to Fort Vancouver, seeking
protection of the United States troops.
Spencer served with Gen. Phil Sheri-
dan, and is kindly mentioned in his
memoirs.
Spencer was warrior in the earlier
lays of Yakima. when the noted Chief
Moses commanded all the allied tribes
Of the Northwest. When old Ki-m-a-
kin refused TO treat with the govern
ment, Spencer was put in command of
the reservation Indians. They were
given a section of country comprising
400 square miles, lying to the east OF
Mount Adams and including the finest
district Of Eastern Washington. 1t is
now included as a portion of Yakima
County. Spencer served as the chief
and was paid $500 annually of the
money that should have gone to Ki-mi-
akin. In 1873. when the Umatillas and
Bannocks were causing trouble, Gen.
10. o. Howard requested Spencer to

The Italian Prince, the Duke d Abruz.
ri, has returned to civilization after an
absence of fifteen months in the north
polar seas, and announces that he sue
ceeded in reaching latitude of SO de-
grees 33 minute north. Nansen's
''farthest north was Sc degrees II
minutes. This gives the young Italian
the honor of having come nineteen
miles nearer the pole than the noted
Norwegian, leaving only 241 miles of
arctic mystery still to be penetrated
before some daring explorer. can claim
the frigid honor of having reached the
long sought for spot. The Duke
d 'Abruzzi has maintained his reputa.
ton for daring and executive ability.
His vessel, the Stella POlare, suffered
more than did Nansen's ice-resisting
Fran, and the expedition lost three
members by death, but the enterprise
seems to have been conducted on the
whole with remarkable ability. For the
present rugged Norway has been out.
done by sunny Italy in the long arctic
quest. In due time some other nation.
ality--perhaps the United States in the
person of Peary-will press on still
closer to the pole only to be surpassed
by some other, until the pole is reach,
ed. Then, perhaps, there will be an
end of the long line of more or lesi
disastrous expeditions that have fol.
lowed each other so persistently for
over three centuries. 1t is the mystery
of the unknown, combined with the de,
sire for adventure, that now makes the
north pole such magnetic pole. When
the mystery is cleared away and when
everybody knows whether there Is
land, or open sea, or rugged ice at lati,
tude 90 degrees north the Pearys and
Nansens and D'AbruZzis will seek eX,
citement and glory in other quarters. Al
the present rate it is not likely to be
many years before this comes to pass.

covered lying in Il semi-circle, each with
ropes around the neck, having been

When Chief Spencer heard of the

he would kill every person he met. But
before waging warfare of eXtermna-

BRYAN AS A BALL PLAYER.
He Was Considered a Good Amateur
Pitcher in the Early 'SOs.


While moving his household goods at
Denver, Colo, recently, John W. Spring
er, an old friend and fellow -campaigner
Of w. j. Bryan, unearthed photograph
depicting phase of Bryan's life in the
early 'S0s. Mr.. Bryan was once an
ardent ball player. This was in Jack
sonville, Ill. The picture had been lost
for ten years and its resurrection re-
called to Mr.. Springer's memory the
existence of the Jacksonville baseball
club of the Morgan County bar. 1t also
recalled the day when the picture was
taken and the incident of Bryan's IA
nous home run hit
1t was after the club had participated
In a vigorously contested game, one Of
a series of charity games played in
Jacksonville in the summer of 1884.
Recalling this, Mr.. Springer says:
THE score was Is to 20 against us,
for we were not in thehabit of playing
to games in those days. There were
two men on bases when Bryan came to
the bat. Bryan was not the sturdy
built man those days that he is now
but the way he swung his bat on the
first ball pitched over the plate was a
surprise to all the players and the 500
or 600 spectators who viewed the game
from n point Of vantage along the first
and third base lines and the foul ground
back of the catcher. Bryan knocked
the ball clear over the center fielders
