 The crack of the pistol attracted no attention at the moment, because blank cartridges were being exploded I and torpedoes were banging through out the neigh borhood and all over the city of Cambridge.
 Grogan was seen running and stag gering toward the house. He fell on the grassy embankment, the life blood flowing from his wound, never to rise. Eastman followed from the hen inclosure, placed 44-caliber re- volver in chair in plain sight on the embankment, and knelt down by the side of his dying brother-in-law.
 Grogan, just before death, made several accusing statements in single sentences which subsequently, were used by the authorities as a founda- tion on which to lay case for arrest and for an indictment.

NEW CHIEF ELECTED.
Installed in Accordance with Ritual
 Old as the Hills.
Sac and Fox Tribes, Who Are Sum WOrshipers, Cling with Tenacity to the Superstitious Beliefs
 of Their Ancestors.

With all the ancient and mysterious rites of the sun worshipers, the Sac and Fox tribe of Indians who live on a reservation in Oklahoma, have in stalled a new medicine chief into office. The new chief is Ka-wan-so, and he takes the place of Wa-pa-ke-sek, who sickened and died in the growing sea- son. The dead chief had only been in office few months, and it is thought he was poisoned by jealous opponents.
 Looking Glass, the chief medicine man of the tribe, says that evil-spirit- ed redskins gave -pa-ke-sek arsenic, which was mixed in with his whisky, and that several young men of the tribe are strongly suspected of being the guilty parties. A few weeks ago, when the sun beat down upon the plains of Oklahoma and the whole re- servation of these Indians took on an appearance of summer. Ka-wan-so was made medicine chief of his tribe of sun worshiping Indians.
 One morning, when the sun had scarcely peeped over the treetops, Red Eagle, a minor medicine chief, came bounding from his tepee blowing fercely upon his medicine whistle.
 As Wa-pa-ke-sek had died a drunk ard he had naturally left his curse upon the tribe, according to the In- dians' way of thinking Two days had elapsed since his death and he had not appeared in ghost-like spirit to in form Red Eagle as to who should be his successor. Finally, Red Eagle gave up that the dead chief was going to appear owing to the fact that he had been assassinated: So he announced that he would choose Ka-wan-so to act as new medicine chief of the tribe.
 As master of ceremonies, Red Eagle ordered all of the braves to put on their black paint and assemble at the burial grounds of the tribe at sunrise for the purpose of laying away the body1of the dead chief and inaugural ing the new chief into office.

ACQUITTED BY JURY.
Prof. Eastman, of Harvard, Cleared
 of Murder Charge.
One of the Most SensationaI Cases Ever Tried i'm the United States History of the Shooting
 of MT. Grogan.

Charles R. Eastman, of Cambridge. Mass, professor of paleontology at Harvard college, has been acquitted of the charge of murder. Eastman was on trial, accused of the premed-
 tated killing of his brother-in-law, Richard H. Grogan, on the afternoon of July 4, 1900, while engaged in a target-practice match on the estate of Alvin Clark, the celebrated lens maker.
 Charles R. Eastman, for several years an instructor in the Agassiz museum at Harvard college, was charged with the murder of his brother-in-law, Richard H. Grogan, Jr., at the Alvan Clark estate, Brook line street, Cambridge, on the after noon of July 4 last.
 Owing to the prominence of the two families and the many interest ing features entering into the case, the trial attracted widespread atten- tion.
 Eastman and Grogan married daughters of the late Alvan Clark, the famous telescope maker. MT. and Mrs. Eastman lived Tn the old Clark homestead, while MT. and Mrs. Gro- gan occupied part of house on the same estate.
 Fourth of July, 1900. was day of merry-making on the old Alvan Clark estate in Cambridge, but it ended tragically. Eastman and Grogan be- gan early in the morning, like two boys, to celebrate the national anni- versary indicative of independence. They were in the back yard, lighting punk and shooting oF crackers.

Snake Ifine i'm Indiana.

A strip of abandoned land east of Jefferso onville, Ind, is alive with snakes, some of the reptiles measur- ing five feet in length. The field be- longs to Frank Kaelin. w. w. Lyon, 8 civil engineer, was running the boundaries a few days ago, that the land might be fenced, and he encoun- tered the snakes and abandoned his work. Kaelin went to the field to build the fence. The sun was warm, and the ground seemed to be covered with the crawling reptiles. Men who were with Kaelin charged on the snakes with clubs and killed 75. while many escaped. The fence was finally built, but the workmen frequently stopped to wage a war of extermina- tion on the snakes. Then Kaelin's son started to blow up the ground, and the first furrow turned up snakes of all sizes. A large one took refuge under one of the horses, coiling around the animals leg. The boy killed 16 snakes.

Pretty Jessie Fry Is Considered

Native of Iowa, But for the Past Si' Years a Resident of Idaho, Where She Has Made a Suc-
 cess of Stock Raising.

Miss Jessie M. Fry, the acknowl- edged champion rifle shot of Idaho, is now en-route to the east, to obtain information for a magazine article she is writing.
 perched carelessly upon a wealth of tawny hair, and possessing a muscu- lar form, Miss Fry presents a striking appearance anywhere, says the Phila- delphia Press.
 Her very personality suggests a spirit of the west; frank, open-heart- ed, unconventional, with an aversion for all shams, she is natural product of outdoor life, mountain climbing trapping and ''roughing it."
 Gifted with ready tongue, she at once inspires the listener with her thrilling stories of outdoor life in Idaho. All this, together with her unassuming manner, makes her pres ence as refreshing as a summer shower.
 Miss Fry was born in Knoxville, Marion county. Ia., and in 1895 moved to Boise City, Idaho, with her parents. After spending year at the ''home ranch," as she styles it, she secured a position as teacher in the public schools in Boise City.
 She afterward taught at Meridian, Union, Council, Payette. Lake and Sal mon Meadows. She had been engaged to teach this year at Bourne, but re- signed the position to accept an offer made her by a newspaper syndicate. She anticipates taking trip to South America in the near future.
 Miss Fry learned to handle Win chester rifle when but Is years of age. She has hunted deer, antelope, wolves, squirrels, rabbits and grouse, and has participated in a number of tourna- ments, matched against some of the crack shots of Idaho.

 Tomas Estrada Palma, the leading candidate for president of the new Cuban republic, has been ever asso- ciated with the cause of Cuba Libre, and was for a long time the manager of the junta in New York. His life has been an active one, spent in the service of his country and devoted to the principles of liberty and political equality he imbibed from the study of American institutions. A native of Cuba, he is descended from an ancient family of Castile. He was born at Bayamo in 1885, studied law in Spain and determined when a youth to free Cuba from the yoke of the dons. In 1877 he partly realized his ambition when he was elected president of the Cuban republic. He now bids fair to be made the head of republic which

It may seem odd for woman to be engaged in such work, but it is possible, as you would see if you were there.

 The sun was now directly above them and hot. Many of the dancers were naked to the waist as they formed a circle around two big fires. Two drum beaters sat near these fires and made alleged music by which the Indians hopped around in what they called dance. The leading medicine men, assisted by many of the dancers, chanted another appeal to the Great Spirit. The fire grew hotter and hot ter as the sacred wood was piled on, but the Indians never moved out of the heat. The dancers grew more and more excited. Some fell to the ground in dead faint. Others went into the medicine lodges and pretended to be ill. They went through all sorts of motions depicting their agony. The dance lasted all night and at daylight the Indians went into the river and bathed in running water.
 At noon on that day Red Eagle an- nounced to the assemblage that during bhe night the Great Spirit had ap- peared to him and ordered that Ka- wan-so be chosen as the successor of Wa-pa-ke-sek. When the newly ap- pointed chief came out of his lodge he was weak from fasting and being sweated of his impurities. The In- dians were silent as he walked across the dancing circle, where they had as sembled to meet him. Suddenly one of the medicine men threw a sacred white otter skin at him and the new chief fell as if dead. Then the two men who had acted as his escort dragged him by the feet across the floor of the lodge, where he had rushed before falling, while all the spectators threw their otter skins at him.
