GOOD THING FOR INDIANS.

Something like $4,000 head of white

the interior. The cattle will remain on
the range until spring. the price per-
head being so cents, which will go to
the Indians. The feed on the agency
is said to be better h on either the
cattle ranges to the north and west on
on Pine Ridge agency to the east.
There was rain on the Rosebud agency
all summer while the Pine Ridge
agency was stricken with drouth.
A great many of the Indians on both
agencies have cattle of their own. They
were started in the stock business by
the government, and their herds are
Increased by breeding. Each Indian
has a special number. which is branded
upon his stock. Besides the number
the letters II. d." standing for Indian

by the agent Of each Indians stock.
An Indian must obtain a permit from
the government before he a Kill amy

have matured into beef the owner can

Practical Curiosity.

Near the town of Baku. in the Kus-
sian Caucasus are several tracts OF
land whereon no cattle would feed, al
though they were covered with the
usual rich heritage. The superstitious
peasantry declared that an evil spirit
had bewitched the meadows in ques-
ton. By and by there happened along
q practical. matter-of-fact English
man, who started to investigate the
phenomena. lie quickly discovered
that, although the grass was undoubt-
eddy rich inc ~succulent. it tasted
sti ongly of parafin, a substance the
flavor OF which is strongly repugnant
to nearly all animals, but especially SO
to cattle. Such was the origin of the
discovery of the Baku petroleum de-
posits-deposits that have already
yielded millions of pounds worth OF
oil, and which show no signs OF be-
coming exhausted.

Sandstone Elk Nearly Kills His
Sguaw and Scalps Another.

News has reached Chamberlain from
the Brule Indian agency that Hand
some Elk, the most dangerous and des-
perate redskin of the Northwest. beat
his squaw In a brutal and ferocioua
manner with a neckyoke. 1t is thought
the squaw will die. Elk then seized
another indian woman, Bear Bird'1
daughter, and scalped her. Then. arm
ing himself with his rifle and other
firearms, he went into the hills, a short
distance from his home, and left word
that friend or foe must not approach
him.
Elk is known among h Indians to
have a bad heart" he is also the best
shot on the reservation, and is feared
among his tribe. Some years ago he
shot down and.killed an Indian in his
own lodge. He was tried for the crime
but succeeded in being cleared. About
five years ago he wounded two Indian
police who undertook to arrest him.
He then armed himself and evaded tho
officers for some time, but finally save
up his arms and surrendered. For his
crime he was convicted and served a
year in state prison.

McCarty always made a practice of
carrying a shotgun on all his
hunting expeditions and this was
found by Day near the scene of the
encounter, but the barrel had
bursted. 1t was possibly due to
this fact that Mccarthy lost his
life, as he was a fearless hunter
and an unerring shot.
As stated above, the coroner's
jury left Flagstaff on Wednesday,
and as the trip is a long and hard
one they will possibly not be able
to return before next Monday,
when the particulars in the case
can be obtained.
McCarty disappeared from his
camp on June 6 and a vigorous
search has been in progress ever
since.

The mystery regarding the dis

tory as the Lion hunter, has at last
been cleared up.
On Wednesday McCarty's part
ner, J. X Day, arrived in Flagstaff
with the news of the discovery and
Immediately a coroner's jury was
called to visit the scene, which is
about seventy-five miles south of
Flagstaff.
Mr. Day, together with many
others, has been hunting for some
time for n clue as to the where
abOuts of the missing man. At
last he was rewarded by finding the
remains of his friend near the head
OF Miller's canyon, in the south

all appearances McCarty had had
an encounter with a bear and was
terribly mutilated-his head being

BURNS BADLY WOUNDED.
wounded Negro Moved to Infirmary
for an Operation.

Charles Burns, the negro barber who
was shot early Saturday morning on
West Broad strete, by Henry Brooks. was
removed from the police station to the
Georgia Infirmary in the police ambulance
yesterday morning. Police Surgeon Os-
borne decided that it would be necessary
to perform an operation on the wounded
negro and the bullet imbedded somewhere
in the chest will be removed to-day.
While Burns wound is serious it is not
believed that it will result fatally.
Henry Brooks, who shot Burns, and
who is also charged with the murder of
Patrolman Harry Fender. still insists
that he had no pistol on the morning of
the tragedy. Friends and relatives of
the man called on Messrs. Twiggs &
Oliver yesterday for the purpose of hav-
ing them defend the accused, and Mr..
Oliver visited the negro at the Jail yes
terday afternoon. After the consulta-
ton with his attorney Brooks refused to
talk and appeared to be more at ease
than at any time since his arrest. Mr..
Oliver would not say what Brooks had
told him. although 1t is believed that the
negro denied all knowledge of the shoot
ing. Brooks has been placed in the cell
formerly occupied by Seaborn Hayes, the
murderer of Motorman Lucius Varnadoe.

The city authorities intend TO see that

Paving Company TO keep the streets of
Savannah in proper repair is carried out.
Steps have already been taken looking
toward the immediate repair of the
streets. and it is expected that the re-

here within a few days. The latest news
from the force indicated this, and the
authorities will see 10 it that the prom

The city has the company right where

the asphalt streets has induced the au-
thorities to let the company know that
the contract must be complied with.
Director of Public Works George NJ.
Gadsden will endeavor to have a force
of asphalt repairers kept here continu-
ously. This should be done, as there is
enough asphalt pavement in the city to
demand the constant attention of a force.
After a pavement has been I'm use for
some years it should be zone over every
month or two for repairs Up to some
six months ago there was a force main
tsined here, but 1t was removed and
made to do itinerant duty Savannah, sup
posedly, being included among those
places the force was to visit. Before
Christmas an ineffective visit was paid
and some of the streets were SKINNED
over. The work, however. was not thor
ough, and there is a great deal demand
ing the early attention of the PAYERS.
Ii is expected that the paving company
will respond promptly 20 the display of
earnestness the city authorities have
given, and the repairing force may soon
be seen. Those who take any note of the
condition of the streets, know that the
force cannot arrive any sooner than It is
needed A number of sections might be
enumerated where the paving has become
wretched, and it is doubtful If those sec
lions were ever in just so deplorable a
state before.
