Gallant Modec Indians Allowed to Re- turn Alter Long Exile from Ma
 tive Rocks and Hills.

The last gallant remnant of tho once glorious tribe of Modoc Indians are soon to depart for their homes in the lava beds of the state of Washing ton, says the Baxter Springs News, For nearly 30 years they have resided on their little 1. reservation in Indian Territory about ten miles south oi Baxter Springs.
 This tribe was ,, at one 5. time the bravest of the bravAS and made the most heroic stands for their liberty ever made by any tribe or nation. With small body of chosen warriors they ..stood ofs'' or. held at bay the entire army of the United States for many weeks. They killed Gen. Canby, commanding the United States forces. and killed and wounded more soldiers than there were members of their tribe, They were finally conquered, and after hanging Capt, Jack. their nead chief. and four others. the bal- ance of the tribe was coralled on the lands in the territory. Every member was allowed 70 acres of poor land, and they were informed this was all they could expect, or, in other words, they must root hog or ale" All of the old historic members Of the tribe are dead. except Princess Mary. the sister of Capt. Jack, and old Lu-ke-el-tu, now io5 years old, the bow and arrow maker of the tribe. Capt. Jack. Steam boat Frank and Scar Faced Charlie, Schack Nasty Jim. and all the old landmarks of the tribe have gone to the happy hunting grounds.

At Princeton.

Princeton, Oct Princeton defeat ed the Dartmouth football eleven Sat uINlay afternoon IT to 0. The visitors put up the strongest game that has been played on the local gridiron this season The new combination of Dill lon at left guard and Short at center proved very strong for Princeton, and the Dartmouth eleven made very few gains through the center trio. Al though the visitors were heavier than Princeton, the Tigers played a strong CT offensive game and a great improve mellt was also noticeable in Prince tons defensive work. Short showed his greenness at center by making sev- eral passes. but owing to the fine work of Vetterlein these never resulted in a serious loss to the Tigers. Fumbling was frequent on both sides. but the Tigers did not tumble at critical times. Dartmouth, however lost the ball on a tumble on her ten yard line. and this gave Princeton a chance to score easi- ly. Much more bunting was done Sat urday than heretofore, but Dewitt was not in very good form in this particu- lar and the punts did not prove effec- tive in making gains for the Tigers. r1shes tfrfA-11rl.

Everybody was talking except the ones who should talk. the eaptains It looked as if each team had six captains. There are some players on both teams who try to make up for their poor, weak playing by showing their ability as pugilists Such men should be put out of the game and the teams on which they play pen alized whenever they engage in bout If such Is done the game will be much benefited
 The North End team was heavier and better than the Merrimacs, but its team work was inferior. It was lack ing in system. Players stood in each others way. During the second half 1t showed improvement and gave evil dence of what the team was capable of doing if if had proper team work. The play in tue first half was in the of the time.

Altogether, it was a strange team that lined LID as the St Thomas Cadets There were only few ia miliar faces. The Cadets are mani festing little interest in football mat fers this year and the team which rep resented them at Torrington is not on par with the teams which have rep resented the club for the past few years. Such team would destroy the splendid reputation which the Cadets have attained on the gridiron for years past. It is said. however. that the team which played at TorrinGbon is not the regular team: that Hoffman.

 Cambridge. Oct 26. Harvard rolled up 20 points against Brown at football Saturday afternoon and kept the vis- itors from scoring. 1t was the best game Harvard has put up this season
 Harvard played the game from start to finish and played it against a team that was fighting for every inch of the gridiron, for Brown did not let up for an instant The visiting eleven was outcIassed at every point, and the nearest it came to scoring was the 3T- yard line. The Harvard men followed the ball betted than ever before. and for this reason were able to smother all Of the trick plays that Brown hurled at the line. Every time Brown got the ball there was something new for the Harvard men to solve, but the longest gain made against the Crimson was four yards. One in each half Brown made first down. The lineup:

In securing for the postoffice site in

Joseph w. Fordney showed that he
still has the interests OF this CITY at
heart. We can no longer truthfully
say that Owosso and Shiawassee coun-

the congressman.
When Mr.. Fordney jammed the ap-
preparation through for a building
here his political enemies within and
without the party said: "Oh, he Is got
to hold Shiawassee county In line.
That's sop untilafter election"
The fact that this part of the dis
trict had been so treated In the past
gave the affair pla visibility, but Mr.
Fordney has disproved 1t by going
right ahead with the good work OF
helping the city and county although
election day is long since over. Were
Congressman Fordney ever a candi-
date for United States Senator he
would be elected IL Shiawassee had the
power to do 1t.
