INDIAN AND BUFFALO.
How the Latter Turned Hunter and
Chased the Red Man.

How the Latter Turned Hunter and
Chased the Red Man.
A retired officer OF the Northwest
mounted police who took part in a Mis-
souri. buffalo run forty years ago de-
scribes the impression ut the time as
of an earthquake. The galloping
horses, the rocking mass of fleeing buff
falo, the rumbllng and quaking Of the
ground under the thunderous pound
ing, were all like violent earthquake
The same gentleman tells how he once
saw wounded buffalo turn on an In
dian hunter. The mans horse took
fright. Instead of darting sideways to
give him chance to send a last finish
ing shot home the horse became wildly
unmanageable and fled. The buffalo
pursued. OF they rushed. rider and
buffalo. the Indian craning over his
horses neck, the horse blown and
tagged and unable to gain one pace
ahead Of the buffalo, the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
like fire, pounding and pounding, closer
and closer to the horse till rider and
buffalo disappeared over the horizon.
ITO this day have wondered what
became of that Indian" said the off,
Ger, '.for the horse was losing and the
buffalo gaining when they went behind
the bluff" This incident illustrates a
trait seldom found in wild animals, a
persistent vindictiveness.-A. A. @. Laut

THROWING THE LAsso.
The Manner In Which the Rope IL
Handled by an Expert.


Handled by an Expert.
"A mistaken impression prevails in
the mind of the public in regard to the
manner in which lasso is handled"
says an expert. 1.-The idea that the loop
is always swung around the head be-
tore making cast, especially when
the roper is on foot, is erroneous. No
in this fashion from the ground in
practical work. There are several rea-
sons why he does not. One of them Is
that the movement is likely to frighten
the stock. especially horses; another
that he may have to wait some min
utes before favorable opportunity
occurs for making cast. He knows
that better results are obtained by
holding the rope as unobtrusively as
possible, even keeping 1t concealed
from the object Of capture.
"On the contrary. however, when
mounted and in pursuit it is absolutely
necessary to swing the loop over and
around the head, for the cast must be
made with the greatest possible force
in order to overcome not only the for
ward movement Of the pursued. but
also the action of the wind should that
chance to be against you.
"As to the manner Of casting. some
ropers' cast with II quick, jerky move
ment of the hand, seeming to use the
arm very little and the body not at all.
Others employ body, arm and hand
Both methods are effective when per.
fected by practice"

THE YANADIs OF INDIA.

Some of the Peculiar Customs of

In the Nellore district of the Madras

ties of the Madras government muse

are little removed from savagery Is

tai or monumental material, the ami
mistic nature of their religion, the
primitive hunting and fishing methods
followed by many of the tribe and the
habit of eating the almost raw flesh
Of the game they kill after slightly
heating or scorching it. They are fear
less in catching cobras, which they
draw out of their holes without any
fear of their fangs, and 1t is supposed
that they protect themselves against
the effects of snake bites by swallow
ing the poison sacs of the snakes. Es-
pecially singular is the manner in
which they produce fire by friction.
For this purpose they prepare two
stocks, one short, the other long. In
the former Il square cavity is made,
and 1t is held firmly In the ground
while the long stock is twirled rapidly
to and fro in the hole. Instead Of
charcoal powder they use rags or even
dried leaves, which they find little diff
flculty in lighting.

Put Yourself in His Place.

"a new commandment give unto
you" SAID the Christ, "thst you love
one another"
Judge Tuley, in recent address be-
fore the Illinois State Bar Association,
said:
"The spirit of the brotherhood of hu--
manity exists among the millions of af-
filiated laborers as it never before exist
ed in the history of the human race,
and in many of the conflicts between
labor and capital, the laborers have
shown greater heroism, greater sacri-
fees and greater devotion to principle
than was ever manifested by an army
from the days of Thermopylae to the
present hour. They have evolved among
them a twelfth commandment, Thou
shalt not take thy brothers job, which
to any workman fs the greatest of all
commandments"
And to this twelfth commandment
Bishop Fallows adds thirteenth:
"'Thou shalt help thy brother when
he is in adversely for the greatest
strike fund in the history of organized
labor is at present in the hands of the
officers of the United Mine Workers"
And to these two commandments,
both justified under the new command
ment given by the Great Commander
of humanity, might be added four
teenth:
"PUT YOURSELF IN HIS PLACE."
Noting the love these miners have
for each other in pouring out for their
brothers in distress half million dol
lars week-dollars that labor can lily
spare-men Of wealth ought to put
themselves in the miners place, and
supplement this sacrifice by liberal Civ
ing.
There is also another way in which
the wealthy and successful can put
themselves in the miners place:
Let them go down into the damp
wells in the earth, where the miners
toll for scanty wage. Let them see
their brothers crouching under the low
roofs that hourly threaten them with
destruction.
More. Let them take their wives and
daughters and sisters to the huts where
the miners family lives, and for whict
he pays thrice what these huts are wortt
In rent to the coal barons. Let then
look into these cheerless abodes, wher,
the wolf of hunger hsunts the door
Let them note the stunted boys, con
demned for life to the breakers AM
then to the mine.

MANY TAXES RELATED.
Decision of the Supreme Court Will Result
in Kenosha Taxes Being Paid Back

The recent action of the Supreme
court in declaring the State inherita nee
tax invalid will be Of more interest in
Kenosha county than was at first an
ticipated. Although the kilograms
sent out from Madison state that the
amount to be paid back in Kenosha
county would be a little less than $500
an examin alton shows that if the hold
ing of the court is made good people in
this county will receive back more
than seven thousand dollars.
Just before the ruling of the court on
the question the administrators of the
estate of the late Frederick S. Newell
paid inheritance tax to the State treas
urer to the amount of $7,O26.87. Just
before this time the administrator of
the estate of the late Sara M. C1app
paid to the State the sum of $271.22.
Under the ruling of the courts all of
this money will be related to the heirs
of the two estates.
1t is probable that the matter will be
brought before the next State Legisla-
ture and a special bill will be passed
making an appropriation for the pay
ment of this SUM.

City Firemen Are Kept on the Run
Friday Evening by Series of
False Alarms.
JOKERS THOUGHT RESPONSIBLE.
Boxes in Different Parts of the City Are
Pulled But No Trace of Guilty Parties
Can Be Found.-Reward offered.

There is joker or a party of jokers
in Kenosha. Friday night the fire de-
partment was called out to answer
three false alarms of fire sent in from
different parts of the city and if by
any chance the man or men who sent
in the alarms are located by the mem
bers of the fire department it is proba-
ole that they will be roughly handled
| The first alarm was sent in at seven
O'Clock from box twenty-five at the
corner of Ashland avenue and Prairie
| avenue. The department reached the
spot just in time to find that the box
had been pulled by some malicious
joker who had made good his escape.
The department had no sooner reached
the Central station than "a second
alarm was sent in from box 81. An
other long run followed only to find
another joke. By this time the fire.
men were pretty mad and the police
were sent out to scour the city for the
men who we're turning in the alarms.
While the police were out third
alarm was sent in from box twenty
one at the corner of Main and South
streets. Again the alarm was false.
horses were we'll nigh exhausted when
they had made this third run. The
iremen and the police joined hands
and started in a hunt for the guilty
parties. Several people suspected of
the crime were gathered in and taken
to the police Office, but all managed to
prove a sufficient a1ibi. The rapid oc-
currence of the alarms drew the people
from their homes and when the third
alarm was sent in the streets were
crowded with people expecting to find
d great confagration. There seems to
be absolutely no way to locate the
guilty parties and this morning the
firemen and the committee on fire de-
partment Of the City Council offered a
reward of one hundred dollars for the
arrest and conviction of the parties
guilty.
There seems to be little point to the
Joke if the turning in of the alarms
was meant in this manner. It is
thought more than probable that
a gang of thieves were in the city and
adopted this plan to draw the people
from their homes in order to allow a
chance for robbery. No robberies
were reported at the police office this
morning.
Every effort is being made by the
officials to locate the jokers and if they
are found they will be punished to the
full extent of the law.

Jacobs Island North of the City Of
Tered to Government for the New
Naval Training Station.
AN IDEAL LOCATION FOR SCHOOL
Island Company offsrs to Sell the Land to
3overnment-No Selection of Site Has
Been Made and offer Considered.

Kenosha has entered the race to Sc
cure the location of the proposed
United States Lake Naval Academy
and Friday afternoon the officials of
the Island company, owners of Jacobs
Island, half a mile north Of the city,
sent proposition to the Committee on
Naval Affairs offering to sell the
| island to the government for use as
site for the new school. Jacobs Island
has always been conceded to be the
most beautiful spot on the west shore
of Lake Michigan and two years ago it
was purchased by a syndicate COM
posed of Chicago, Mi1wau kee and Ke-
nosha men, the plans being to convert
it in to splendid summer resort. The
preliminary surveys for the work were
made, but when it was proposed to
build training school for seamen on
the lakes the site seemed to be such
splendid one that the company decided
to offer it to the government. The
island is surrounded by Pike river and
the lake faces it on the east. 1t con-
tains little over sixty acres and has
lake frontage of more than half q.
mile. Most of the land is covered with
trees that have stood for years. On
account of the great mass of trees it
has always been a favorite place for
picnics and summer campers. It is
ideally located for the use suggested.
| It is twenty-eight miles from Milwau-
kee and ffty-six miles from Chicago.
! The Chicago and Northwestern Rail
way has already built a track into the
property and the electric roads leading
to Chicago and Milwaukee are now To-
Gated within a stones throw of the en-
trance to the island.
| Should the island not be large
enough to answer the purposes of the
government fifty acres of land can be
secured to the south and hundreds of
acres to the north. There is one
beauty of the location, and that is the
| fact that the island now has natural
harbor and with the expenditure of
/ SIS, 900 the harbor could be made equal
to any on the lake shore of its size.
The river is now deep enough to allow
| the sailing of launches and it is
claimed that with the present depth of
Wa er the training ship "Dorothea"
could land anywhere along the river.
The price asked for the island is said
to be a very reasonable one, but none
of the officials of the company we're
willing to give out the amount that
had been suggested.
! The people of the city are greatly
| interested in the matter and will make
every effort to have the property con-
sidered by the committee.
