Paul had not prosDered in his love-

GRASS HOUSE OF WICHITAS
Ingenious Indian Architecture That
Has Become a Lost Art.

The finest house ever designed by a
redskin is the grass house of the Wichi-
tas. tribe that at present live in south
ern Oklahoma. They are the only tribe
that ever accomplished successfully the
erection of a grass structure. Soon they
are to abandon these huts and take up
their humdrum reservation life in two
room frame shacks, which are being built
for them by the government. The grass
house. it is claimed, is far from being
healthful; but it is certainly comfortable
There are but about fifty old men of
the tribe alive today who understand the
art of building one of these houses so
that it will stand. And these refuse to
work, even for generous wages. The gov
eminent has offered these grass-house
builders lucrative employment to construct
some houses that may be preserved as
models of an ancient art. But they re-
fuse, and the grass huts that used to dot
the prairies of the Wichita reservation
are now being torn down. The Wichitas
are determined that their huts shall not
survive them.
Appearances are often deceiving. One
can look upon a grass house and imagine
it an easy thing to build. But not so.
It is indeed most intricate. The grass is
gathered early in the spring, when it is
yet fresh. The sod cutting usually takes
place Immediately after a rain, the sod
being removed to a thickness of about
eight inches. Buffalo grass sod is the

foundation as does the stone mason.
digging away the earth to a depth of
about one foot. The grass portion of the
chunks of sod is laid to the outside, and
the house is built to height of twelve
to fifteen feet, in the form of pointed
dome. There is no hole in the top for
smoke to pass out, the latter being car
ried away through a pipe on the outside
Of the hut The door is usually in tho
south, and there are no windows. Through
each tuft of sod is run a willow reed
string. and these strings are bound clear
around the structure. The grass remains
green, and will grow if there is plenty
of rain. 1t is not at all uncommon to
see the sides of these grass houses turn
green as spring approaches just as do
/ the pastures near them. The houses are
very warm in winter and cool in summer.
They never leak Often the Indians have
/ barns made of the same material. But
in these days the redskins are made to
live in frame shacks, and the oDce fam

Profitable Industry of Maine Sisters
in Shipping Fish.

Every day when the mail stage from

All attempts to grow minnows, red
fins and mummy clubs artifcially hav-
ing failed. the fishermen of Massachu-
sets rely upon Maine for the bait they
use and the increased call for small

there is profit in making shipments of
clubs and SticklebackS to distant points.

freeze over for the winter, these small
fish seek the shOal coves along the
shores and deposit their eggs in the

Sasaki The Alleged Kau Murderer,
Brought Here To-day on W. G. Hall
Along With witnesses,

Full Sasaki who is alleged to have
murdered KutarO KIDD at Punaluu the
night Of December 28 was brought from
Kau this morning on the steamer w.
G. Hall and lodged in the prison to
await the action of the grand jury on
his case. with the prisoner were
brought FIVE other Japanese who were
witnesses in the case. In default of
$500 bonds each they were taken to the
Jail to insure their appearance at the
trial of the defendant.
This case is the one in which Chester
Doyle distinguished himself by assist
ing the prosecution and having the pri-
soner bound over. While there is very
strong evidence against Sasalki, there is
one material point which the prosecu-
ton has thus far failed to prove, the
fact that Sasaki inflicted the wound
which is claimed to have been the cause
of Kido's death.
1t appears that one of the japanese
fishermen lost a boat and to his sur
prise recovered it, So to celebrate his
good fortune, gave luau to which he
invited a number of his countrymen
During the course of the entertainment
Sasah and KIDD began to quarrel in one
of the smaller rooms in which were sew
eral Japanese. The two men went into
a larger room and continued the fight
Sasah threw the other man on bed
KIDD grabbed up an iron water bucket
and Sasah caught a glass bottle and
struck the other man over the head
with it making a bad wound. Several
of the Japanese tried to separate the
3 /,
broken bottle. Finally, KIDD was
driven out of the house. Soon after
a Japanese woman came into the house
and said that KIDD was outside, dead
Considerable trouble was experienced

psy. inally Dr. Thompson was asked
to come but refused, the officer stated
to attend unless he was guaranteed q
fee of $50. When such guarantee was
given by Sheriff Andrews, Thompson
performed the autopsy Thompson
gave as his opinion that death had moi
been caused by the wound on the head
but by wound made in the heart by
some sharp instrument Sheriff EatOr
thinks that a pair of bloody shears
found near the body, was used to infiic
this wound but neither Thompson mol
Doyle are of. this belief.
Although half a dozen japanese
were examined at the coroner's inquest
there was no evidence secured to con.
meet Sasaki with the wound in the
heart In fact, the evidence went tC
show that Sasaki had remained insld,
the house after KIDD had been thrus
outside. Sasaki was detained by hi,
countrymen until the arrival of the Of

of murder in the first degree.

jury returned a verdict simply to the
effect that Sasad had killed KIDD, bu
made no reference to either the hear
or head wounds.
