PUCKEE IN TROUBLE
He Is Also in Jail and Shot Full
 of Holes.

Pucke-, "Old Man Johnson" the
 Wallapai Indian who stabbed the little
 squaw near Blackberry Indian school last week. Friday. is now in the coun- ty jail. says the Williams News: The particulars of the affair are as follows: Puckee and two other Indians own a wind mill near the school and alternate il the use of wa ter for irrigating pur- poses. One of the Indian partners sent his daughter. a girl about 13 year of age, Friday evening. to irrigate the small garden and Puckee objected. The squaw refused to turn the water off and the Indian seized her and repeated ly stabbed her with long bladed peck ct knife. Another squaw cam to the girls assistance and received a stab wound in the breast. Other squaWs who were in camp rushed to save the little one and several were cut. Tn h. dian then went to hiswickeup and arm cd himself with a rife. A posse was sent out from Blackberry to arrest him but he refused to surrender. H finally came out of the wickeup and talked with the posse, but refused to surren- der. John Harris. deputy sheriff, who was about 90 yards away. told the h. dian that if he tried to return to the wiclleup he would fire on him. For an answer he walked toward the shack and then raised his rifle as if t0 fire at him. Harris 'blazed away with shot gun loaded with buckshot and the In- dian whirled half around and ,he rifle he was carrying was discharged in the air. Recovering. he aimed at liar ris and fired but missed his mark Har- ris fred the other barrel of his shot gun and the Indian took to the rocks. Al though it was bright moonlight the

posse was unable to locate the red flend and w=nt back to Blackberry. Early next mCrnin, Harris and John linus. accompanied by some Indians. again went C<t to the Indian camp and proceeded to enter the wickeup of Puckee. not dreaming that he was there. A young Indian was the first to enter. and observed Puckee lying on the ground within. In an instant the old devil raised his rifle to fire and the young fellow sprang forward to grasp the rifle. As he grasped the muZzl- of the gun Puckee fired and the bullet tore off 4ha thumb and fleshy part of the Indians hand but he hung to the gun and wrenched it from the old In- dian's hand and threw it away. Har- ris and linus then tackled the Indian and after d hard struggle succeeded in handcufing him. They found that one of the buckshot had struck him in what appear q to them a vital part. but the savage made no moan. He re- pea dly asked to be killed rather than taken t. prison.
 When examined at the jail by Dr. EaIy it was found that the buckshot had struck the Indian in the right side and glanced off a rib around the body. just beneath the skin, and came out on the left side, and that the wound was superficial. This Indian, Puckee. killed and robbed a prospector some years ago about P miles north of Hack berry. but through some technicality was discharged by the court.
 The squaw, who was cut up horribly, will recover.

The attendance was not as large IA

that made Mp for the dt felt Ct expect
ed members. Don. Ii. Chapman OF
Waterbury presided.
The music at all the sessions was

The Cost of War.

o. March l l last the World stated
in les news columns that the war
with Spain and the Filipinos by the
end ot this month would cost this
country the great sum OF 1924 ,Sl4,-
500.
We now have the official figures
furnished by Senator Allison and Mr..
Cannon in behalf of the Senate and
House appropriations committees.
1t turns out that the World under
stated the truth. The cost of these
wars at the end of the fiscal year,
June 80, will be 1882, 562,OS3.
The World estimated that the cost
of the Filipino war for 1901 would
be $125, 100000. This also was an
underestimate. The cost of the war
in 1901, it is said by the committee
on appropriations, WILDE $131 ,247,.
SO, and this is given as d 'perma-
nent annual appropriation"
By the end OF the fiscal year 1901
the country will have expended in
freeing Cuba from Spain, in taking
Porto Rico and in Sc ziog the Philip
pines the SUN of 1913, 500 23S. Ia
addition we must count as part of
tie cost the violation of our plighted
word, the denial of the declaration

ted killed and Gov. Shaw and others
injured. Gov. Shaw was on the out
gong train, bound for Chicago and
Philadelphia and received a cut on
the temple and bruised arm, but
was able to 90 home. He resumed
bis journey Wednesday.
The returns from Oregon continue
to grow as the details come in. More
than 10000 majority for the Repub-
lican state ticket and over II 900
aggregate Republican majority for
members of Congress is doing quite
well as little curtain-raiser to the
presidential election. Oregon had the
chance to hit the anti expansion and
cheap money toolishness a blow, and
it reached for the solar plexus.
The Oklahoma farmers are not so
busy harvesting their wheat but
what they can find time for innocent
little amusements. Saturday a large
party of farmers returned from
hunting trip which had been thor
oughly enjoyable. They had hunted
horse thieves, and had succeeded in
capturing one unfortunte fellow, who
was promptly hanged to the nearest
tree. Of course the crops had to
wait while the boys we're having their

They have arrested one Champion
for murder in Maine. He is accused
of wiping out a whole family OF four
and then burning the house to conceal
bis act. The crime isoLe CT the most
savage, atrocious and awful on rec
ord, and Champion, if he is the cul-
prit, is one of the most irredeemable
aud fiendish human beings who ever
existed. and yet, if bis guilt be fully
proved the penalty he so richly de-
serves cannot be imposed on him.

tives of the various nations at Pre-
toria, and was the only nation which
did act. As its offer of mediation
was then courteously declined by
England no further opportunity is
