WHAT THE ANCHOR BROUGHT UP.
Curious Find Made by John c. Fraser,
Minneapolis Lumberman.

Grand Rapids, Mimi, June 10
John G. Fraser, a prominent lumber
man of Grand Rapids, while engaged
in towing a raft of logs across Poke
CANA lake lately, made a most curious
find. The anchor which is used in
towing the great booms had been drop
ped into over 200 feet of water, and
when it was raised TO the surface by
the windlass it brought an immense
pair of elk horns, and also very large
pair of deer's antlers entangled in the
fiukes.
In the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant there have been no elk in this
country, and from the best informa-
tion that can be obtained from Indians.
it is at least fifty years since they have
known of any. How the horns
could have gotten there is a mystery.
and how long they may have lain at
hte bottom of the lake is another.
The elk horns measured seven feet
from butt to tip and were four and a
half feet in spread. Mr.. Fraser
brought the trophies home, and would
not take any price for then

Sioux City, Iowa, June 10.-Captain
H. NJ. Chittenden, chief of United

who returned from Kansas City, an
nounced that the order of the war de-
partment commanding him to report

that Captain Kuhn of West Point

This is welcome news to the Mis-

POISONED BY HIS CIGAR.
Life of a 500 Contractor Barely

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, June 10
While working on a sewer contract at
q private residence, William Prilgle,
a well known 500 contractor, was the
victim of a singular occurrence that
came near resulting fatally. de was
smoking a cigar and laid it for the
time being on nearby sill. A short
time later he picked up the cigar and
resumed his smoke. Soon he began TO
feel dizzy and sick and started for
his home, which he just managed to
reach before falling over and be-
coming unconscious.
The doctor who responded TO the
call detected evidence of poisoning
and only after several hours hard
work was he able to save the patient,
who was unconscious from in the
afternoon until 3 the next morning.
Investigation developed that the sill
on which the cigar had been laid was
strewn with rough on rats, and that
enough of the poison had been
swallowed by Pringle to kill him but

Land Sharks Are Defrauding Him

Methods by Which They Operate In

In the Indian Territory land sharks,
both red and white. have been at work
for long enough season to have
brought affairs to climax and
measures have lately been taken
to restrict their dealings. A re-
cent decision of Judge C. W. Raymond
in the United States court for the west
ern district of the Indian Territory pro-
hibits parents of Indian minors from
leasing land belonging to such minors
without the advice and direction of the
court. This decision will be of far-reach-
ing influence. affecting something like

Of recent investigations set on foot by the
Indian Rights association and the inte-
rior department, ruin may overtake sew

rob the Indian through the lease system
When the tribes were given this reser-
walton to have and to hold, some opti-
mists may have thought the Indian prob
lem solved. But it was not, though foI
time affairs ran smoothly enough that
the outside world heard little of the life
going on in that far-off western territory
But gradually there came to the knowl-
edge of the country at large stories that
woke up the public to the realization that
our Indian charges needed help in gov.
erning themselves. Investigations were
ordered; and the report was ma6.a that
the territory was most lawless, harbor
ing place of outlaws and criminals of al
sorts. We learned that the full-blooc

Sulu is a queer land Of piracy, poly

habitants are Mohammedan Malays, to
whom the Spaniards gave the name
Moros in remembrance of other Moham-

name has stood for daredevil deeds and
piracy of the most daring sort, and the
present day Moros pride themselves on
the reputation of their people. Those
who know them declare they are not

selves, but they like to be considered big
braves and swagger around considerably.

The Spaniards looked upon the Moros

be that as the popularity Of the Amer

The sultan is greedy as well as arbi-

unpopular with his subjects. The best

Recent Investigations in Norway show
that lepfosy in that country is loosenins

been justified in enforcing its strict iso-
lation regulations.
Though dark races have been more
subject to the scourge of leprosy than the
white, In every country and race there
have been many victims OF the dread
disease.
Leprosy has existed since the records
OF history, and perhaps in prehistoris
days it worked its ravages in both Asia
and Africa. Until the Crusades, 1t waa
practically unknown in Europe, but be-
ginning with that period it spread at .
dangerous rate. During the Middle Ages
almost every village in Great Britain and
France had its leper hospital. Men pres
