FAIR PLAY, A JEWEL.

Theoretically, everybody looks, or
should look, alike to public officials. In
practice. it fails to work out with the
Aberdeen city council. This is especially
noticeable in the actions of that body in
the matter Of the recent police scandals.
Officers McGshan and Bergeson were
accused, under oath, OF serious offenses,
and the council appointed time to in
vestigate the charges. After gathering
in state, they gravely decided they had
no jurisdiction for such an investigation,
but recommended the mayor to suspend
the accused officers until they should
show the falsity OF the charges.
This the men proceeded to do without
loss Of time. They made oath that the
charges were untrue, and had the author
arrested for criminal libel, and but for
the illness of the superior judge the
matter would have been determined be-
fore now. Since that time another
officer has been charged with crime, also
under oath, and has proved the ialsity
of the charge in court.
Yet, in spite OF those known facts, the
council last night concluded to recon-.
mend the discharge of McGahan and
Bergeson-whom it said it had no
authority to investigate. The only rea.
sons advanced for this action were that
the charges had been sworn to. The
fact that the Henry charges had been
sworn to and disproved was apparently
lost sight OF.
WHITMAN hour after this action, Mar.
shal Anstie asked that certain street
rumors and newspaper paragraphs max.
ing charges similar to those made against
the other officers be investigated, and
the council at once took steps for such
investiga tion-ior which in the McGahan
and Bergeson cases that body decided it
had no authority. Consistency, thou
art jewel, seldom found in the Aber.

After the third curtain the band

that everybody cheered until they

thusiasm and CONSERVATION came
when Miss Mulhall snatched a six
shooter out of one of the mems pock-

the ceiling. The "boys" were not
averse to following her example, and
while they continued to play music
they punctuated the stirring notes
with fusillade of shots. There was
wild CONSERVATION in the big audi
ence, but a panic was ayerted.
There was another tremendous
sensation when Jim Hopkins, a big

way the heroine was being treated,
undertook to lasso the villain. While
unsuccessful the attempt caught the

eide, and one night Walking Shield
struck out for the foot hills, and was
not Tecaptured.
While these adventures injured his
social standing among the Sioux IN no
way nor the affection Of the girl Tor
him, they were not pleasing TO Mrs
Chost-Faced Bear. Mabel WAS told IL
the "lGi-vi talk" never to see her lover
again. Red blood runs under red skin
as we'll as white, and Mabel Ghost
Faced Bear whispered to Allen Walk
ing Shield she would go with him to
some far hunting ground. Walking
Shield rode TO the cabin lodge one
night, but Mrs. Mary GhOst-Faced
Bear expected him and the girl was
locked in her room.
The next day Mabel was taken TO the
agency and the outgoing stage carried
her away TO the Carlisle Indian school
1t was three years after when she
came back. She was a different girl
Half-civilized now, she shuddered at
Walking Shields deyiltry. She would
have none of him. Walking Shield
went to his tepee and smoked long at
pipe of kinnikinick. 1t was Mrs
Ghost-Faced Bear who kept the girl
from him. Mrs. Ghost-Faced Bear
must be pushed away. He decided to
wait.
The night of May 8 last the skies
were black with tumbling clouds. The
gurglings of the approaching storm
drove the red men 70 their tents. But
Walking Shield did not sleep. At mid
night he saddled his brOncho and rode
away to the cabin lodge of Mary
Ghost-Faced Bear. In front of her
door he stopped. The lightning's
flashes and the expostulations of the
thunder excited his petulant blood
and he was soon half crazed. Sudden
ly he lifted his Winchester to his shout
der and fired through the door.
There was a startled cry within, and
a moment later the Indian saw in a
fash of yellow light the woman's facs
at the door. She swung it shut, bolted
it and hurried away. Walking Shield
fired through the back window and
| the woman fell dead
A moment later Walking Shield was
rousing the girl he sought. Some
| body shot at me as passed the tepee, y
he painted. "Your mother has gone
for the police"
"But what was that noise?" asked
the girl. as she passed her mother
gasping on the floor.
'It's nothing; just the splitting OF
the lightning" he urged, as he stepped
outside and closed the door.

shot" demanded the girl.
For answer the powerful IndiaI

on the other side blacksmith shop.
George Dray and Clayton Hawks, who
work in the smithy, allege that they
have seen the woman many times be

smiths shop Dray stepped up 10 her

MADAM, you must enjoy walking the

In relating his experience he stated
that he pursued the figure for half

Dray returned to the smithy and re-
lated his experienced 10 Hawks. Calvin
Beck, a resident of Overlook avenue,
says he saw the woman a few nights
before Frank Frease, another resi-
dent. also encountered the beautiful
shade. He says that he discerned
the faint outlines of the figure on his
lawn. Frease alleges that she re-
mained in one position for nearly
three-quarters of an hour, gazing pen
sively into the sky.

Hanged for Murder of His sweet

1T Carlisle Changed the
Girls Sentiments.

Allen Walking Shield, a full-blooded
Sioux Indian, was hanged at Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, the other day
because the white mans civilization
estranged his sweetheart and be-
cause his attempt TO elope with her
ended neither his way nor her
mothers.
Walking Shield wore till his death
long, native hair and wrapped a gauay
yermiIion blanket about him when he
slept in his tepee; so he didn't under
stand why Mabel Ghost-Faced Bear
wore strange clothes when she came
back from Carlisle Indian school, and
why she looked over his head when he
sought TO claim her. But he tried the
white mans way-went at dead OF
night to get her and carry her away
into the Bad Lands. But it went
wrong, for her mamma. Mary Ghost
Faced Bear, intercepted him and he
shot her, and now is dead that his
sweetheart might have retributiOn.
Ten or u years ago, when Walk
ing Shield was but a reckless,
stalwart boy. the Indian maiden ad-
mired his prowess and the two became
friends. Walking Shields native rest
iessness found vent when he robbed,
the store of Sylvan Winter, the post
trader at Ever Brule agency. With
tools passed to him by the Indian girl,
he sawed bis way from the jail. He
ran to safety amid the bullets Of the
guards, jumping from side to side Ia
Igzag fashion as an Indian does when
irving to avoid the marksman's aim.
Walking Shield was now a hero
among the Indians, and the officers did
not reaTrest him, fearing an uprising.
