STATE LAWS ONLY
COVER CASE OF CZOLGOSZ.

Washington. Sept. THE law officers
of the government feel that there is
little assistance which the federal law
branch can give in prosecuting the
man who shot President Mckinley
It was stated today by leading Of
fetal that the federal laws made no
provision for assaults upon the presi-
dent, the latter being only a citizen
in the eye of the federal law. The old
seeition laws made it a serious Of
tense to attack government official
on the theory that it was an injury TO
the country as well as to the individ-
uaL But these laws have long ago been
swept away.
When questioned as to what punish
ment the federal statutes provided for
the attempt on the presidents life, Act
ing Attorney General James NJ. Beck
said today:
While L have not given any special
examination to the federal statutes
bearing on the subject, yet I know of
no statute which makes it a criminal
offense to attempt the life of the presi-
dent. That there ought to be such
legislation is perfectly clear"

CzOL C0Sz WAS UNHAPPY
IN HIS HOME LIFE
Had Trouble With His Step-MOther and DeSpiSed
Work on The Farm.
While Youth Lived in House Where Anarchists Met
and Listened to Their HarangueS

Cleveland, O., Sept. Perhaps to no
one else is the would-be assassination
of President Mckinley more a surprise
than those who knew Leon Czolgosz
during his residence of half a dozen
years or more in the southeast end of
this city.
The unhappy inmate Of a home from
which his mother had been taken by
death, he never got along very well
with his fathers second wife. and
acted more or less the stubborn boy in
his relations with her. During this
time his father lived on a farm with
his large family OF seven boys and two
girls. Leon was not active in farm
work, seeming to despise ii as the
drucgery incident to life.
Shortly after coming to this city if
teen years ago, Leon's father started a
saloon. in the rear of which was a
small building used as a rendezvous
and meeting place for a dozen or fif-
teen men who called themselves an
archlsts. Leon was too young to be q
member of that gang, but he was a
great listener to the harangues that
these men INDUCED in, and they prob
ably had some effect on his youthful
mind.
Leon worked m a rolling. mill for
several years, but the work was too
hard for him and he left to go on his
fathers farm. Then lung trouble de-
veloped, and he finally became more or
less of an idler, his health never gain
ing robust condition. His ways were
Ine cause or more or less comment
among his acquaintance. Finally he
left home and became a wanderer.
The last definite information from
him was a letter received from West
Seneca, n. Y, written on the 18th of
July. That letter was written to tbe
secretary of fraternal society in
Cleveland and was for the purpose of
paying his monthly assessments. So

the hunt Tor the maiden began. For,
according to their custom. as soon as
her father began the trading for her,
she was secretly to steal away and
hide, and all the young fellows were
to hunt for her and then convey her
with laughter and jest to the new
home she was to occupy.
They say love lends wings to his
votaries, and no eyes are so keen as
those OF bridegroom. But on this
occasion the Cloud People seemed to
have put mist in the eyes of the
bridegroom, and the Wind People
must have Whispered to the Apache
lover. for he, and not the bridegroom,
found the maiden's trail and with the
speed of the wind itself followed her.
She had crossed the Havasu and was
hidden in the willows on the Apache
side of the stream, and when her
Apache adorer came up with her, she
doubtless began to think, as even In
dian maidens will, that she must pro-
fess an unwillingness to be taken to
the arms of her lover.
Anyhow, it was easy for the Apache
to persuade her to go stealthily with
him around great arm of rocky wall
thrust out into the canyon, and there
steal up precarious trail, which, like
a cobweb, seemed to cross the face Of
the cliff. When they had reached a
good height he babe the maiden pause
and rest, and then, darling back a few
steps to place where the trail made
dangerous zigzag, he loosened two
heavy rocks which had long ago been
prepared for an emergency that might
arise. These racks fell with a crash,
utterly cutting nff every hope and pos
sibi]ity of pursuit, and then, with a
shrill yell of triumph, the daring
Apache returned to the now fright
ened maiden and Informed her that it
was in his arms, and not in those OF
her Havasupai lover she was to rest
that night. His yell and her echoing
shrek of despair attracted the atten-
ton of the youths below, and to their
surprise and anger, as they looked up,
they beheld the Apache carrying away
the bride of ttair friend, and they
stood helpless tn prevent it.
''To the trail!" one shouted. "Bring
bows and arrows!" cried another.
But they soon saw that neither was OF
use., The trail was blocked, and who
could send an arrow into the heart
of man who held a maiden in his
arms.
Suffice it to say the young Apache,
with many haunting word and shrek
of defiance, slowly climbed out of the
canyon, and he and the maiden disap-
peared, never to be seen or heard OF
for many day.
Then the Apaches and the Havasu-
pals began to argue about the matter,
the former declaring that "All was

girls favors. Most of them, however,
were too much afraid of the anger of
Those Above to dare more t-,an lift
their eyes upon the attractive maiden,
but one youth, in whose heart the
fire of Cupid burned with fierce ardor,
resolved to dare everything, if only
he might win her for his bride. Night
after night would he hide in the will
lows by the side of the bubbling
Havasu and tell it of his love to
Pana-ma-hi-ta. He would climb the
steep walls that shut in the small
tribe, that he might overlook the
"hawa" of the object of his adora-
tions. But, alas, he could never tell
her how much he loved her. The days
and weeks went by, and he was driven
to fury of jealous despair, when
he learned that in six more sleeps
she< was to marry one of the favored
Havasupai suitors. In his fierce an
ger he climbed the cliffs and rushed
hither and thither on the plateaux
above. He wandered through the
Kohonino forest and out into the
wild wastes of the Painted desert.
Even the coyotes and hawks saw
something strange and amiss in him,
and the gentle doves flew away in
terror as he cried aloud in the an
guish of his jealousy and despair.
Then he wandered back to the ruin"
of the Grand canyon and went down
the secret trail to Hue-tha-wa-li-the
white rock moIntain-and thence to
the roaring observation-disclosures
as he stood looking on the wild, surg
ing, swirling waters of the rapids
and heard their fierce roar in his ears
he shouted and yelled and ehrieked
in sympathy with their madness and
told that he himself was torn and
rent with agony at the thought that
now, in two more sleeps, his adored
one would be the bride of another.
Then, suddenly, he became super
naturally calm. A glad light came
into his eyes, but keen observer
would have seen in the steely. CLINT
of them a desperate resolution, and
his firmly set lips and clenched fists
did not belle this appearance of firm
resolve. He would dare as no man
born of woman had ever before dared.
He would go to the marriage cere-
monies. He would take part in them.
When the groom came he would
greet him as friend, and he would
smile and laugh and crack jokes on
the soon-to-be welded pair the same
as all the other young fellows would.
Then when the bride ran away to
hide he would risk everything, even
to life itself, to win her for himself.
He returned to the village and

A LOVERS REVENGE,
Legend of the Origin Of Two Rocks
in Grand Canyon.
Poetic Story Told by the Havasupai
Indians of How ''Those Above"
RepHoyed the Yielding to
Temptation.
Especial arizona Letter.1


TXIHILE the Indian is not the
w emotionless, stolid, soulles:
individual so many people
think he is, it must not be thought
that he has a refinement of culture
and passion possessed by those who
rank as "civilized." True, he may not
really be more cruel than his civilized
brother or sister, but he is ruder,
more simple and direct in his cruel
ties and vengcances. I think there
are so-called good people who can
hurt and wound an enemy by mere
looks, and winks, and shrugs of the
shoulder, or few whispered words,
far more than if they were to follow
the Indians methods of open murder
and physical torture. For to sensi-
tive soul what is more torturing than
to be ostracised, to be stunned, to
feel ones self talked about? And
who is SO adept at this sort of thing
as the most cultivated and refined of
our "society" people.
According to the traditions of the
Havasupai Indians, of Havasu canyon
in northern Arizona, they have long
been at enmity with the fierce and
warlike Apaches, who now live in
southern Arizona. In the early days
of their history the Apaches and
Havasupais are all said to have lived
in peace in the quiet seclusion of this
wonderful canyon home. The Havasu
(Blue Water) flows meandering along
between the willows in the tiny
patches of arabic land formed in the
canyon, and on one side of this
stream lived the Apaches and on the
other the Havasupais.
One of the Havasupai young wom-
en- was gifted by Those Above with
great beauty, and many were the
lovers she had of her own people.
Though the Apache youths looked
upon the beautiful maiden with eyes
of delight and favor, they knew the
direct commands of the gods prohib-
tied any marriage between the two
peoples. Hence their souls were
filled with longing which they knew
could never be satisfied, and it was
no comfort to them to see and
know that the Havasupai youths had
= free field in which to win the dusky
