Abraham Jefferson, q negro. was
held to the grand jury recently on a
charge Of larceny. says the Kansas City
Journal. The namesake OF Abraham
and jefferson is charged with having
stolen from Fred Harvey. the railway
restaurant man. a curiously made
buckskin coat. which was formerly a
possession Of the bloodthirsty Apache
chief. Geronimo. The coat. which was
exhibited in court. Is an interesting
specimen Of Indian handiwork. and a
striking commentary on the character
Of old Geronimo. It is fest0Oned with
forty or fifty long tufts Of hair. which
are believed to have been taken from
the heads Of the many white women
whom the old chief had allied. Ger
onimo must have had a particular dis
like for women with dark brown hair.
or a penchant for that kind of dec0ra-
tion for his coat. for with one excep-
ton. an the hair Is Of that color. The
exception is a very light brown. which
might at one time have been red. All
the hair Is long. It is attached In hit
or-mlss fashion to all parts Of the
coats exterior. and hangs down the
back SO thick as to almost conceal the
highly colored painted figures which
constitute the rest OF its Ornamental
ton. AS q curio the coat was worth
about $500.
