He GAVE HIMSELF TO JUSTICE.
Tragic Death of Indian Murderer Hands of HIS Victim,
3 HOTTER.

II have killed your son, old woman
Take this pistol and shoot me-
In these words Perry Larivie called
down his own doom. Not only did he
give his revolver to the aged mother of
his victim, but he taught her trembling
hands how to hold and aim it and how
to pull the trigger.
And she shot him dead.
No; this is not story of civilization.
In civilization it costs much intellectual
effort many thousands Of dollars and
from one to two years of precious time
to make murderer pay with his life
for the life he has taken
Perry Larivie was a Red Indiana Red
Indian in fact, mind you, not of Cooper's
fancy. He was one of a party of Indians
S. D., and then left, taking another key
with them. They drank freely on the
road, and grew Quarrelsome.
Not Tar from Ponca agency was the
home of Peter Birdhead, an Indian of
twenty-five, with a wife and several chill
dren. ~ ..f.s l.-. =,
AS the carousers reached this cabin two
OF them, who hailed from Oklahoma, en-
gagged in a dispute as to which was the
better brave. They shouted at the top
OF their voices, while the others stood in
ring and brayed encoura cement, hop
ing for bloodshed.
Birdhead issued from his door in high
anger, and sought to drive the band
away, vowing that he would have no
fighting on his place.
All the intruders showed resentment at
this treat ment, and Larivie drew a pistol
Seeing this, Birdhead bounced upon him
and ordered him from the place. Larivie
refused to go, and brandished his pistol
significantly. Blrdhead laid hands on him
and tried to throw him out. Larivie
fired.
The ball struck Birdhead under the eye,
pierced his brain through and through
and issued at the back of his head. He
fell dead without a groan.
Larivie was stricken with remorse.
With bowed head he marched up to the
entrance of the cabin. Lifting his eyes
he beheld the mother of the man he had
slain. Her face was scanned like the bark
Of a willow. She peered at him with lit
tie eyes that glittered with fear.
Il have killed your son, old woman
said he. Take this pistol and shoot me-
What does he say?'' inquired the old
man, advancing from the interior of the
cabin.

Here's a Worried Citizen.

This is an age Of hustle and sweat.
A man hustles from early dawn until
the katydids sing in the twilight for
three meals a day and a place to lie
awake at night and worry about it. II
he doesn't overwork he goes crazy.
He tolls and saves through the days of
his youth so that when he grows old he
can wear a silk hat and sit on the
knees of luxury, but when his hair turns
to snow white and his whiskers grow
thin and gray in llfe's late afternoon
he finds he has been victimized and
grievously buncoed by his own calcu-
lations, and that rheumatism and poor
relations have scattered all his dreams
and punctured his long hopes.

Fire and Birthstone.

Boys at Macon, NO.. the other day
fed the contents Of a box Of seidlitz
powders to a goat belonging to a family
which had recently moved into the
neighborhood. Then, taking 1t for
granted that he was thirsty. they led
Billy to a nearby trough and per-
mitted him to drink heartily. Soon the
fizzlng began, and at last view the goat
was tearing down the street toward the
woods at a reckless pace. Some ne
groes living several miles out Of town
claim to have seen Old Nick himself,
as they verify believed, rushing along
the road in broad daylight. His maj
esty resembled an enormous goat. they
said, but they recognized him as the
devil because he was splitting fire and
birthstone.

Removing the Oil Burners.

AN oakland dispatch says that the
oou'nern Pacific Company has de-
'ioed to abandon the use Of petroleum
90 iuel on the engines pulling the Owl
traln. Two reasons are given for the
change. The company asserts If is
because the oil does not make steam
last enough fer an engine running as
rapidly as that on the Owls fine
Railroad men on the outside claim II
Is because the oil increased the liabll-
ity to disaster.
They claim the superintendent has
decided to resume the use Of coal
after figuring that in the event of a
wreck on the Owl the petroleum would
be scattered over the debris and al
most instantly envelope the train in
flames. 1t is calculated that more
casualties would result from this than
from hanging the passengers in tele-
scoped or overturned cars.
Petroleum burners were put in the
engines as a matter Of economy and
for the reason that the company's coal
supply was running short. They are
now being removed as fast as possible.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and Comanche reser.
vation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
greSs and approved by the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior to
said Indians within ninety DAYS
from the passage of this Act, sub.
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro.
vided, That the time for making
shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked us: Will townsites be /
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
nents. In answer to this we
igain quote the law.

shall have been selected and TAX

PRODUCTIvENESs

There need be no doubt Of the product
iveness Of these lands. They have been
tired in every quar,er with a result that has
produced 20 to 80 bushels Of wheat, and 40
to 80 bushels of corn per acre. These cropa
have been raised by farmer, living on In
dian lands. The valleys of the washitl, of
Cache creek, Beaver and other streams are
more or less cultivated every year, and al
ways give good returns. Tee uplands are
productive Of all cereals, aud afford the fin
est grazing in the world.
The lands to be opened to white settle
ment, aster the Indian has taken his allot-
ment will give comes TO nearly 10000 fami-
lies. The price Of these lands will be S1.35
per acre, payable at the end OF five years
residence. No better chance to get home
in this superb climate will ever be known
again. Tbs climate is all that can he desir- |
ed, being happy medium between the hot |
climate OF Texas and the cold climate OF /
Kansas or Missouri The days are never ex-
cessiyely hot nor the winter excessively /
cold. In summerddays the mercury seldom
goes above hundred, while the nights are
invariably cool. In winter the mercury
seldom goes below zero, and then for onlya

The lands outside of the mountains are
undulatlng prairie, wen watered with lly-
ing streams OF water is found by digging at
depths of twenty TO thirty feet. All the
streams bear more or ess fringe OF tim
Der, while large areas are covered with a
growth of mesquite trees timber which
make good fence pests and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and seme streams bear
a growth of timber large enough to saw into
lumber. Any or all Of these timber lands
are productive, and will mako fne farms.
BY an act of congress approved June o,
1900, the above reservation is to be opened
to settlement On the north side of this
reservation is another known as the Wichita
reservation, which may be included at the
sane time, but tins i not yet known. Fhe
law opening the reservation, provides that
the allotments shall be made in from three
to six months, and makes it lhe duty of the
President to issue proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
lotmsnts are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and he may issue his proclamation immedl-
etely after the allotments are made. Thus
it may be seen the lands may be open at any
time from the early spring to summer of
next year.
