Viewing the Changes
Old Timers Observations

Mir. Q. l.. Sues returned to the old
pueblo yesterday. after an absence of
fourteen years. He said he had no
especial business coming back bit he
lust wanted to see the old town again.
But the Old fashioned appearance
which he was used to, had largely teen
eliminated. Tucson of today is quite
another city to what IS was fourteen
years ago. But Mr.. Sues could not
help recalling the old pueblo as he
knew it. There We're just SO many
stores and so many people, and the
town was so quaint. He could remem-
Der all of its Oddities but they are no
more. MIR. Sims was a soldier in the
palmy days of old Fort Loweii. No. >
l4e said. Il cant bear to see the old
place in decay. Many was the time
we had in that fort"
He related the exciting chase after
that old rascal Geronimo. This willy
indian gave the United States more
trouble than a whole tribe, He eluded
the officers in every trap that was set
for him tie always did the unex-
pected thing. General Crooks idea
was to guard all the well known water
holes. and patrol between them. II
a fresh track was noticed, the patrol
was to follow it Immediately. Tnis
scheme did not work well. because
the Indians did not come in to water,
and the ground was such that tracks
were not easllp discerned.
When General Miles took command
of the forces, he changed the plan OF
campaign entirely. A flying squadron
was formed. The other forces were
then arranged In a V shape over a big
section OF country. The troops In this
formation were kept in close commu-
nlcation. 1t was the purpose OF he
dying squadron to run down the
Apache chief and his dare devil band
AGAINST the V formation.
It was only short time before
Geronimo was captured in Guadalupe
canon. This canon Is part of the
boundary line between he United
States and Mexico. but 1t is thought
that me capture was made in the lat
ert country.
Mr., Sues related an amusing Incl
dent OF the campaign also. Geronimo
made a raid on a party OF travellers
and captured a horse and blackboard.
For the next couple of weeks that
blackboard was a mystery. 1t would
appear and disappear in the same
breath. 1t seemed incredible that
Geronimo should be driving in coun-
try where 1t was difficult to even ride
a horse Inat blackboard and its
mysterious occupant was a regular
'Flying Dutchman" on land and gave
the officers a continuous nightmare
until his capture.
The land that Is now occupied by the
great copper camp at Cananea was
traversed many and many time in
the pursuit of Geronimo. Mr.. Sues

occurred to him one bleak day in De.
cember that it was time the people
knew there was stranger In town.
So he arrayed himself In long linen
duSter. buttoned up from knees TO col.
lar, put an old straw hat on his head
and. taking a shabby book under one
arm and IL palf leaf fan In his hand. he
marched all the way down Clark street,
past the city hall. to the office. Every.
where along the route he was greeted
with jeers or plying words. as his ap.
pcarance excited the mlrth or commits.

When he reached the entrance to The
Daily News office. he was followed by
q motley crowd OF noisy urchins, whom
he dismissed with a grimace and the
cabalistic gesture with which Nicholas
Kooran perpexed and repulsed An
tony van CorIear from the battlement
of the fortress on Rensselaersteln
Then, closing the door In their aston

OLD TIMES IN TENNESSEE.

Pennies In the state.
Probably few people know that the
original name OF the state of Tennes'
see was Franklin or that In lISS the
salaries of the officers of this common
wealth were paid in pelts, but the fol
lowing is a correct copy of the law;
BE 1t enacted by the general assem-
bly, Of the state OF Franklin, and it is
hereby enacted by authority of the
same, that from and after the 1st day

At that time the state of Franklin
extended to the east bank of the Mis-
slssippi riser, and on the west bank
was that great unknown forest region
of Louisiana. 1t was then n terra In

The Campaign in Ramsey County.

Peter Metzdorf, the present county
treasurer, is the democratic candidate
for reelection on the very commend
able record he has made in the Office.
Its affairs have not only been we'll
and satisfactorily managed, but Mr..
Metzdorf has gone further. He made
careful investigation as to amy possible
way to save money fer the county, and
he has succeeded in saving money to a
substantial amount He has, too, on
his personal responsibility, raised mon
ey to keep salaries paid up when due.
And he has managed to keep money
for current expenses in funds that
have for years been overdrawn. This
|kind of public servant should be re-
tanned in Office. They are altogether
too scarce.

Michael Quigley will he the next
sheriff Of Ramsey county. Put that
down as sure thing. and the first real
live Democratic sheriff that st. Paul
has had in many years. Mr.. Quigley
and his numerous friends are work
ing day and night and are not leav-
ing a stone umturned, not only for the
sheriff's office but are helping the
whole Democratic ticket with their
magnanimous and liberal canvas of all
the voters who in turn will vote for
the cleanest ticket the Democrats ever
put up in Ramsey county. Readers of
the Irish Standard should and will
vote for Mike Quigley, the poor mans
friend and the entire ticket.
Among the candidates on the Demo-
cratic ticket in Ramsey county there
Is no one more deserving of success
at the polls than Hon. Thos. ID.
O'Rrien. who has been placed in non.i-
nation for judge OF the district court.
Mr. O'Brien has lived all his life in
the city of ST. Paul and the people Of
that city are proud of him as good
citizen. an honorable and upright at
torney and a man in every sense of
the word. He has for many years
worked zealously in the interest of
Democracy and has never before been
candidate for office. Now that he
is before the people the Irish Standard
hopes to sec his candidacy endorsed
by the voters Of Ramsey county in
the manner which lie deserves. and IL
they do this his election is assured
by several thousand majority. That
he will make splendid judge and that
he will administer the duties Of his
office without fear or favor is Il GER
tainty.
