HOW CRAZY HORSE GAVE UP THE GHOST
PuEnaciOus sioux Chief Hurried to
the Happy Hunting Grounds
R~ecOIIectiOns of n Soldier
who Witnessed the Job.

One Of the greatest mysteries Of the ia
nous Custer massacre and Sioux war Of
1876 was the death Of Crazy Horse, one Of
the principal chiefs and leaders of the re-
bellious Sioux, a man, who above all others,
was the evil genius of that stormy period.
The Geographic reports sent out from Fort
Robinson at the time of his death we're con-
Trajectory and nebulous. No one seemed
to know how he died, while the man who
killed him, william Gentles of the Four
teenth United States infantry, died with the
secret locked in his bosom. There were
only two witnesses to the act, and only one
OF them is now living. His name is Ser
geant William F. Kelly. formerly of the
Fourteenth infantry, now a resident Of f
street in Washington. The story that he
only the other day told to a Washington
Post reporter OF the killing OF Crazy Horse
has never before been published. Sergeant
Kelly had kept the matter a secret for
twenty-seven years.
"At the conclusion OF the Custer massa-
ere on June 25, 1876" said Sergeant Kelly,
1.-THE Sioux, pursuant to a custom followed
by all plains Indians in their wars with
the whites. split up into numerous small
bands which departed in every direction, in
order to bewildeT the troops which they
knew would follow. Most of these bands
came in at the approach of winter and
surrendered. and a large body Of them
were captured In Montana by General Miles.
but the band under Crazy Horse, which
sought refuge in the Powder River coYn-
try. succeeded in eluding pursuit. remain
ing out until late in February Of 1877.
1T was during the latter part Of this
month, however, hat Crazy Horse and his
band, half starved and nearly frozen, ar
rived at Red Cloud agency, Nebraska, in
the teeth OF a cutting blizzard, and offered
TO surrender. The agent, whom the In
dams thoroughly despised. for very good
reasons, had deserted at the outbreak Of the
Sioux war, and, at the time l speak Of, the
agency was being conducted by Lieutenant
Johnston OF the Fourteenth infantry, which
regiment, together with several others.
was stationed at Fort Robinson under Gen
eral Mckenzie. The fort lay at a short dis
lance from the agency and as soon as the
fact became known General Mckenzie went
over and held a pOw-wow with the Indians,
ranged. RatiOns were issued to the starv-
ing redskins, who pitched their tepees on
the bank OF White Clay creek, about six
miles distant from the fort and agency.

q day OF two ago to England after a brief
visit to the United States. He came to the
United states convinced that this Nile dam,
which in some OF it's details represents his
experience and ability, is unmatched by any
architecture OF like character elsewhere in
the world. When In England he was fond Of
saying to those who had been accustomed
TO boast OF the capacity and size of the
dam constructed at Vernwy, in Wales,
whereby Liverpool and it's suburbs are sup
piled with water as pure as any that flows
from an artesian we'll, that this great Welsh
work was, after all, trivial in comparison
with the dam At Assouan, He went to
France and the engineers there showed him
the dam which France holds in proper pride,
the famous Furnis dam, and while he ad-
mitted that the French engineers had With
great skill triumphed over certain top
~ographieal difficulties and had erected a
dam which is decidedly OF high rank in the
list Of the worlds architecture OF that kind.

OPENING THE
TORRENS COURT
JUDGE WEAVER PREPARING TO
BEGIN SESSIONS OF THE NEW
TRIBUNAL.

Philip L. Weaver has received his
commission as judge of the land court
under the Torrens act and is preparing
to take the bench as soon as the neces-
sary preliminary work is done. Judge
Weaver will probably not be ready to
open court for about six weeks, as
there is much to be done in the draft
ing of rules, preparation of papers, etc.
The Torrens act allows the judge of
the court much latitude in making rules
of procedure, etc. The act is similar
in many respects to that of Massachu-
sets. 1t was drawn by Weaver, who
has long made a study of the Torrens
system. and he has the blanks and
rules which are in effect in Massachu-
setts and will use them in preparing
rules and blanks for Hawaii.
"The law allows appeals to a jury,
after the decision by the Judge, on
questions OF fact" said Judge Weaver,
"and appeals to the circuit or Supreme
court on questions of law. Petitions
are to be filed in the court asking for
registration of title, and such regis
tration of absolute title, once finally
granted is an absolute title from which
there is no appeal except on grounds of
fraud in securing it. Other titles,
such as that of mere possession, to
preserve proof of a title which may
eventually ripen into an absolute title,
may also be petitioned for.
II think that when the court opens
petitions will begin to come in fast.
Several parties have already spoken to
me about it, wanting to be among the
first. The experience of Massachu-
setts will probably be repeated here in
the matter of attacks on the law. In
that state a similar law was attacked
in the courts and the attacks on it for
a time frightened people from using
it, but when a decision sustaining it
was finally handed down, business
came in fast and the law is now very
popular.
THE law provides that the courtroom
shall be as near to the registrars Office
as may be, and l hope we shall be able
to get room in the Judiciary building
though this has not yet be en- settled"
Judge Weaver will appoint a clerk
and registrar and other officers of the
court, before the time for opening court
When court opens the filing of petit
tions and hearing of cases will go ahead
without delay 1t is expected that in
time the court will succeed in straight
ening out the entanglements of Hawai-
ian land titles, and reduce real estate
holdings to a systematic basis under
which the circuit court calendars will
not be constantly clogged with eject
ment suits growing out of title dis
putes of long standing.

JUDGE DAVIS AND
MAGOON'S GOAT
THE BILLY GOAT AWAKENED
THE CoURT-THE TWO CHINESE
COOKS AND STOLEN TURNIPs.

"The court is not in a very good hu-
NOR this morning. announced Judge
Davis in the police court today. Every
body Immediately sat up straight, eX-
pectant of some outburst on the part
of His Honor. but the Missionary Par
ty ct al escaped scathing observations
from the court. j. Alfred Magoon how
ever. the late coadjutor of Davis in
the Sumner case, was mentioned. The
court was wakened about > o'clock this
morning" continued Judge Davis. 'by
MagooE's billy goat. 1t used to be that
Magoon kept pig then he got COW
and now he has a billy goat and this
billy goat walked me early this morn

The High Sheriff, who was present,
did not offer any suggestion that per-
haps the goat had been secured in pay
ment of a fee, but waited until the
courts Indignation against the Ma
goon menagerie had subsided and then
proceeded with the trial of the various
cases.
Two Chinese, Young Sue, who cooks
for Mr.. Lucas of May & Company, and
Yuen Sam, who cooks for Miss John
sons sanitarium, were charged with
having stolen some turnips from a veg
etable garden on Beretania street. Mr..
Lucas gave his Chinese cook a splendid
recommendation. 1t appears that the
Chinese had had occasion to take some
medicine on account of being i'll.
"Oh, well, 1 had a Chinese cook"
observed the court, who used to get
i'll every Sunday. Whenever 1 would
want to get something cooked he would
fail to light the fire, claiming he was
sick. l don't mean ITO say that that
was the way with this defendant, but
1t was the way with the Chinese l
had"
Yuen Sam took the stand. He, too,
like the preceding witness, denied hav-
ing stolen any turnips. do you like
raw turnips?" inquired the court. Did
you ever eat anv raw turnips?" persist
ed the court evidently having in mind
the Magoon goat. You say you are
the cook for Miss Johnson's, do you
place? Yes? Well then" exclaimed
the judge with a rising infection, and
evidently forgetting his resentment
against the goat, are you the fellow
who was making all of that noise the
other night? 1t walked me up. My room
is right near that barn"

voice that he had been guilty of wax

Mounted officer Fred Wright was

fled the alleged stolen turnips and then
was subjected 10 quite vigorous eX-
animation by the court after which the
court discharged the defendants and
took a recess for five minutes.

JAPS EAGER TO
TO FIGHT RUSSIA
OFFICERS OF DoRIC SAY THAT
WAR SPIRIT RUNS VERY HIGH
IN JAPAN

The war spirit is running high i'm
Japan. Reports brought yesterday by
officers of the S. s. Doric are that the
Little Brown Men are being controlled
with difficulty by their government.
There is an almost universal demand
for war with Russia.
When the Doric reached the WHARF
yesterday morning from the Orient.
the first question that was asked by
the officers of people who came aboard
was whether war between Japan and
Russia had been declared When in
formed that as yet, no hostilities had
occurred great surprise was expressed
Well remarked one of the officers,
Il will bet that by the time we get
back on our outward trip. they will be
lighting. Why you have no concep-
ton of the state of feeling of the Jana-
nese people against Russia. The hatred
of Russia extends from the little bits
of chaps that can hardly talk, up tor
the Oldest and most influential people in
the empire. The japanese are de-
manding that war be declared on Rus
sia and they are aching for the chance
of getting at their hated enemies. j.
would not be surprised to hear at any
time that Japan had declared war or
Russia. 1t is inevitable, and believe
that war will occur in very short
time"
This statement expresses very vivid
ly the real sentiment of the state Of
FEELING in Japan. Not only do the off,
GERS of the Doric say that the Japs
are anxious for war but returning
travellers who have visited not only
the sea port cities of Japan but have
also gone into the interior, declare that
war is now all but a certainty. The
japanese have been wrought into a
feeling of the keenest. deepest resent
ment against Russia and the slightest
overt act on the part of Russia will set
Japan ablaze and nothing can then
overt on the part of Russia viii ses
ravage the north eastern part of Asia
With characteristic energy the Japs
are preparing for war. Their troops
are now ready and their fleets are
already assembled. A declaration OF
war will find within twenty -four hours.

soldiers moving against Russia.
