An inhabitant Of Uyeno, a town in
the ancient Kuni of Iga, journeyed to
Yamada recently. He bought at that
city two swapping turtles, which he
put into his small portable trunk. This
he did because he was afraid accord
ing to a japanese paper) that he would
be charged dearly for the transporta-
tion of the turtles as living things on
his way home by train. AT the sta
tion he vas seen holding the trunk
under his arm as if he hadaOme val

there was a pickpocket, who thought
the man must have a large sum OF
money in the trunk, and watched for
a chance TO steal il. When the man
went into a car the pickpoeket also got
into the same car, and after a little
while, seizing an opportunity, cut one
side of the trunk with little sharp
knife, and put his hand into it. To

KILLED BLACK HAWK
Some Strange Claims Made By an
Old Army Scout.
Robert w. Patten Says He Saved FIRE.
mont from Starving TO Death
Life Full of Adventure,
War and Romance.

Few careers have been more ad-
venturous than that of Robert w.
Patten, pathfinder and army scout,
who recently settled at Seattle,
Wash, to end his days.
On the streets of Seattle Patten has
become familiar as 1.-The man with
the umbrella hat" on account of the
peculiar headgear he affects. The
rigOrs of a constant outdoor life made
il necessary for him to prevent sun
strokes in summer and frozen ears
in winter by protecting his head with
a broad-brimmed hat, provided with
flaps for winter wear.
Scout Patten says he rescued John
c. Fremont, the frontier pioneer,
when Fremont lost his way in the
Rocky mountains. That he was in
the Black Hawk war with Kit Car
son and ended the chiefs existence
with his own hand 10 years ago.
His age he gives as 90. Notwith-
standing this handicap, he wrote TO
President Mckinley when the Spanish.
American war became imminent and
offered his services as a scout. He
was then 81 years old. He says he
was United States chief of scouts in
the civil war, and resigned at the
close of the conflict in favor of Buff
falo Bill.
Patterns own story of his life is to
the effect that he was born February
"a, 1911, in New York state, and ran
away from home when nine years old,
because of friction with his STEP
mother. With the assistance of his
grandmother he made his way to
where Chicago now stands.
For some time he lived with n
French trader, but was later adopted
by Big John, chief of the Winnebago
Indians.
Later. when he was about 10 years
old, he accompanied the tribe to the
northern part of Wisconsin.
Here bloody war was waged be.
tween the Winnebagos and the Chip
pewas, and Patten bears a scar on
his head which he claims was received
from a tOmahawk in one of their
ARRAYS.
For saving a settlement from an.
initiation by giving timely warning

TO a garrison of soldiers, he was made
a second lieutenant in the regular
army a few years later, being de.
tached as a scout.
When he was 20 years old he was
ordered to report TO Kit Carson, al
the place where Sioux Falls, S. D..
now stands, ans with him proceeded
westward 10 the Rockies. On the
way they met a trader known as "Ol6
California joe" and the trio hunted
and traded for many long years.
They fought in the Black Hawk
war, in the early thirties. Patten
as stated, claims TO have killed Black
Hawk, and exhibits a scar on his
wrist as the last wound ever inflicted
by the chief.
A decade of wandering followed
Once Patten was bound to the stake
