GETTING WEARY.
Fears That Nichols Men Can Not
Walk to Polls.

Those who intend to vote for Galen
Nichols for the nomination for county
attorney at the primaries next Satur
day from Il a. m. to p. m, are get
ting very 'shaky on their pins''-so
much SO that it is said the Nichols peo-
pie, who are anxious to continue Mr.
Jetmore's harmless policy of dismissals
and nollies have hired all the hacks
for Saturday This of course is not le-
gal, but then if any cases were brought,
how easy for Jetmore or Nichols to con-
tinue this. nollie that and dismiss the
others and there YOU are.
Then what can a man like Nichols do,
with Jetmore hacking him, and his con-
stituents so weak that they can not be
depended on to walk to the polls. but
must be hauled in hacks. The betting
is at odds whether the recent weakness
displayed by the Nichols men is dre to
the strong support Of the jointists, who
have dizzy ideas, or that they are
trembling at the strength developed by
Tom Doran, who would prosecute in
stead of dismiss.

K0H-GO-MOH WOULDN'T SAY
Indian Woman Who Failed to Pass
Naturalization Examination.

A Kickapoo squaw appeared before
Judge Hook in the federal court Monday
afternoon to be naturalized. Her name,
as near as anyone has been able to spell
it, is Koh-Go-moh. She was accom-
panied by her husband. a big swarthy
Indian, and a younger Indian who acted
as interpreter. She was dressed in
bright-colored plaids, and wore plaid
shawl over her shoulders, but nothing
on her head
All three of the Indians were sworn
by Frank Brown, clerk of the United
States district court, and the squaw was
directed to take her place in front OF
the bench and answer the questions put
to her by Judge Hook. The interpreter
took his place beside her, and her huS-
band sat down near by where he
thought he could prompt her answers.
The interpreter was quick and bright
and had 6, good command of English.
Ask her how old she is said Judge
Hook after he had asked her name with
out being greatly enlightened.
NaAesglah, said the Interpreter to
the squaw, or something that sounded
just about as ineligible
The squaw grinned and shifted from
one foot to the other but said nothing.
Again the interpreter went through
the same sounds, and after a consider
able. effort the squaw managed to say,
she doesn't know" said the inter-
ASK her what she wants to become
a citizen for?" said the court.
The interpreter went through the same
sounds as before.
Again the squaw wriggled and twisted,
and giggled at the court, but said moth
ing. Mr. Koh-go-moh got impatient
and began to- sco1d. At length she
gruntcd again.
''She wants to sell some land said
the interpreter.
'How much land has she?'' asked the
court, and the interpreter again went
through apparently the same unintelligi-
BILE sounds.
Again the squaw grunted and the in
terpreter said, Forty acres"
What does she want to sell it for?'
Judge Hook asked.
The Interpreter repeated the question
| but no amount of coaxing could get ar
answer from the squaw. Her husband
scolded until Judge Hook instructed the
| interpreter to tell him to keep still, ano
| the question was never answered
| Judge Hook dismissed the trio, and
! then promptly refused to naturalize Mrs
| Koh- Go-moh. The rules laid down, ht
said, required that the person applying
for citizenship should show sufficient in
| teIligence to manage his or her own at
fairs and make his or her own living
| This mad not been shown by the appli
cant, and he would not grant the appli
cation simply because she wanted to sci
a little land.
