sion that the Indian is a stOlid severe
Individual. with no sense of the white

was after him in the most approved

most portentous tone and solemn man

Now, sir. l want you to tell me the

The Indian looked straight at Mr.

Chief Spencer, OF the Yakima, Reserva-
ton, Nearly a Century Old.
The Yakima Indians boast Of an old
,hieftain who is almost a centenarian-
lie is known as Chief Spencer, and is
1ne of the most noted characters of the
Yakima reservation. His memory is
clear and carries him back to many
fierce battles and skrmishes 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
mis- family. whom a 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-
Ian, and is kindly mentioned in his
memoirs.
Spencer was a warrior in the earlier
lays Of Yakima. when the noted Chief
Moses commanded all the allied tribes
Of the Northwest. When old Ki-mi-a-
kin refused to treat Win the govern
ment Spencer was put in command OF
the reservation Indians. They were
given a section of country comprising
l 400 square miles. lying to the east Of
Mount Adams and including the finest
district of Eastern Washington. 1t is
uow 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 1878. when the Umatillas and

Redeeming a Burned ricl,et.

The clerks in the ticket redemDtion
office of the Pennsylvania Railroad are
constantly meeting with new expert
ences in the way of requests made for
the redemption of unused tickets or
portions of tickets. The request made
a few days ago surpassed anything OF
the kind that the clerks ever expert
enced, and at the same time demon
strated the extraordinary business tact
Of the gentleman making the request.
A man who had purchased ticket for
st. Augustine. Fla. appeared at the re-
demption window and produced an or
binary match box. which upon being
opened was found to contain some
ashes and a few bits of charred card
board. He stated that he had pur.
chased a ticket Of the company for
st. Augustine. which had accidentally
been burned. and requested another i'm
its stead. The only evidence to sub
stantiate his statement were the ashes
and the two bits Of cardboard. the one
bearing a number and the other the
word st Augustine" An investiga-
ton revealed that ticket for that
point corresponding in number to the
number upon the burnt relic had been
sold, and. after some correspondence
with the connecting roads over which
the ticket had been issued. new one
was issued to the an.-PhiladelDhia
Record.
