WATER FOR THE PIMAs
The Indian Bureau Interesting Itself
 in the Matter.

Judge c. w. Grouse yesterday re- CT of Indian affairs requesting him to give his views on the development of water for irrigation on the Indian res ervation without storage. While agent at Sacaton Judge Grouse had made re- ports on this matter and this request is no doubt intended to call out more complete details than were included in the report. The indications are that the bureau is desirous of affording the Indians the earliest possible relief
 In the course of an investigation of this subject about six years ago Judge Grouse found three places on the res ervation at which water could be de- veIoped. One is about mile and a half north and four miles east of the agency and about a quarter of a mile north of the north branch of the Gila. Water in an apparently ineXhaustible volume was found at a depth of nine feet, probably having been forced up by a rocky stratum. The water would not be available for irrigation in the immediate vicinity except by pumping. By digging a ditch for three miles it could be brought out upon the level of the land. The ditch could be construct ed by the Indians without any expense to the government and one of the most serious problems of the reservation would be partially solved. It is of course not possible without storage to develop water sufficient to meet the needs of the whole reservation, but it is possible to afford great relief. The Presbyterian mission on the reserva- tion is already directing development on q small scale.

TWO-NOsE'S TAKING OFF.
Killed by HailstOnes After Having
Been Twice Mourned as Dead.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

Word comes from the Rosebud reserva-
ton of the death of Two-Nose, one of the
old blanket Sioux, who has had a varied
career. His death was caused by hail
while in an unprotected part of the reser-
walton. his body being mutilated with hail
stones Two-Nose was twice before the
subject of the sorrow dance among the
tribe which revered him.
When young man he, with the young
braves, was engaged in diving, in which he
excelled. The young Sioux dove from the
bank with the avowed intention of crossing
a pond 100 feet wide. As he failed to ap-
pear upon the surface again, his COM
panions reported him as having been car
ried away by evil spirits The camp was
accordingly moved, the sorrow dance and
mutilation of relatives resorted to, and the
medicine man of the tribe was importuned
to alay the evil spirit Three days later
Two-Nose came into camp in half-starv-
ed, wholly exhausted condition. He had
actually dived across the pond and entered
the submerged passage of beaver den
Twice he essayed to rise to the surface and
each time struck the top of the passage;
finally, in a state of strangulatfon, he
reached the air chamber where the beaver
slept. In the inky blackness he was un-
able to again find the passage. He accord
ingly began digging his way out with
piece of wood he found in the den. and had
soon completely filled up the passage by
and two nights of incessant labor he sue
ceeded in reaching the surface of the
ground This exploit raised him to the dig
nifty of medicine man who successfully
defied the evil spirits
AS chief medicine man he had dream
in which he was told that he could fly like
the eagle. He spent years in gathering to-
gether the various herbs and fetishes he
was instructed to use in order to make him
feat in the air The old fellow had faith
I'm his medicine and never took the pre-
caution to try 1t on moderate elevation,
but went to the top of a cliff, and, after
properly amounting his body, jumped off
and began Tapping his arms as a bird
would It's wings. But he fell to the ground
and was picked up for dead, and his fune-
raj rites again solemnized- Again he fool
ed the sorrow dancers by Seviving and Hv-
ed until few days since, when the hall
storm finished him.

less likely to be noticed, are generally used
by the cleverest swindlers. but 1t can be
easily seen that the trick Is easy enough
to perform without attracting attention.
Signals having been exchanged and noted
between the dishonest gamblers it then be-
comes the duty of the one with poor hand
to raise the Bet steadily and jauntily to as
tins will stand. OF course, the sharper
with the poor hand loses his money by this
means, just the same as the victim does,
but as all losses and gains are shared
equally by the dishonest partners after the
play is over it Is only the f1eeced one who
really suffers. There are many profess

have to depend on such dishonest methods
for winning IL Trey are playing with green
horns or even with amateurs of only aver
age skill at the game. The professional
poker player would not be a professional,
in the first place, IL he had not a natural
aptitude for the game. which he has cult
waited almpst into clairvoyance He has
gained from long practice a clear judgment
of the values OF hands, and has also at
tanned much proficiency in estimating the
character of other men. This gives him a
facility and an effrontery in "bluffing"
which the amateur can hardly hope to
equal, and 2by such accomplishments the
professional, may often fleece the amateur
to a serious extent without the use of dis
honest methods at all.
This goes to show that persons should be
exceedingly careful how they play cards for
high stakes with strangers. The sharpers
who ply their trade on transatlantic pas

manners and agreeable department.. They

ordinary passengers who desire to play
cards to while away the hours When
their faces become known to the officers
of any one boat their game is generally In
terfered with. Then they transfer their pa
tronage to other boats of the same or rival
lines. and go on with their tricks until
forced to move again. The recently report
ed posting Of warning against dishonest
gamblers on the steamship Campania OF
the Cunard line was probably due to the
fact that some of these sharks had been
discovered aboard the ship.
