FINDS HIS TURKEYS DRUNK.
Pennsylvania Man Believes That
Birds Are Dead, But Gobbler
Hats Burial.

Some wag poured whisky and water
upon corn in a trough where Joshua
Hendrixs flock Of turkeys fed, and as
Hendrix returned from town to his
home, near Maple Grove. Pa, he thought
seven Of his finest fowls were dead. There
they lay. toes up. in the barnyard, and
he dug a trench in which to bury them.
When he reached for the last magniti-
cent gobbler's legs, to throw him in the
trench, the latter wig-wagged his toes,
half opened a pair Of bloodshot eyes,
turned over. and resumed his dream.
Hendrix investigated. and the smell
at the trough convinced him all his tur-
keys were dead drunk. So he didn't bury
them, and even the old red eyed gobbler
Is now SOLDERING up.

DEATH IN A DESERT.
BONES OF TWENTY MEN FOUND
IN CALIFORNIA.
Are Discovered in Reclaimed Tract in
Imperial Valley = Mute Evil
dences of Suffering and
Starvation.


Mute evidences of the unspeakable
suffering and horrible deaths OF some 20
men from starvation were found in the
clearing Of the land in the imperial val
ley of California" said A. H. Heber,
president Of company which has re-
claimed 100000 acres Of the former des-
ert.
These were the skeletons of 20 men,
which were found in little punches OF
twos and threes bleached and dried by
the fierce desert sun. They constituted
the only traces OF men who had prob
ably been missing for years, and whose
friends never knew their whereabouts.
Some Of these skeletons were found
west Of what is now Imperial, Is miles
from the foot Of the mountains in the
open plain. They had evidently been
searching for New river, a stream which
flows about one month in the year, to
drain the desert of its summer rains.
Their bones were in little piles a mile
from the river. Others were found in
the Alato River valley, on the east side
of the Imperial valley, between the sand
hills.
But the saddest find was that Of o
number of piles of bones which showed
that five men had persisted at one time
from thirst within hundred yards OF
each other. These bones were scat
tered all around. and there were some
traces of vehicles in the mountains not
far on. where the bones of animals told
the tale Of starvation which had been
the end of the little party"
This was the only instance in which
traces Of vehicles were found, and the
superstition is that most of the men
whose bones were found had been afoot
and had probably gotten lost in the
desert while looking for their wagons
This thing was not uncommon, for It Is
almost impossible in the Colorado desert
to find directions. While we were lay
ing out the town Of Imperial we had an
instance of this in the loss of a young
Japanese cook. The young fellow was
employed in our surveying party and
started out one day to find friend who
was employed as cook in a camp about
four miles distant He lost his way and
failed to return. Searching parties were
started out to find him. They traced him
for six days, but finally entirely lost the
trial and had to return to the camp. The
Japanese was never heard OF and pre-
sumo his bones will be found some day"

James Bah-We-Tah-Yos 20 years
old, remnant OF the once sturdy Chip
pewa tribe of Indians who in years
past held sway in the Saginaw valley,
was married Saturday on his DEATH
bed to Martha A-Nah-Shank, 30 years
old. with whom he had lived under
Indian marital customs nearly 40 years.
Since that time the couple have reared
a large family and accumulated quite
an amount of property.
AS the laws of the state do not rec
ognize the customs of the tribe it was
deemed advisable to go through the
fOrmalfty of another marriage which
would stand a legal test in order that
after James passed away his wife will
be in a position to maintain her prop
erty rights. Rev. James Cloud, who
ministers to the people'in Indiantown,
brought about the new state of affairs
and ofiiciatcd ut the marriage.

supreme court. Leonard is the man
who brought up the appeal from the
indeterminate sentence law, and was
turned down by the circuit court and
the supreme court. The supreme
court held that the minimum sentence
should hold good and all those who
had served the minimum were releas-
cd, but Leonard was not set free, not
having served the minimum sentence.
Leonard is from Lake county, and
was sent to Jackson February II, 1904.
for ten to fifteen years for burglary.
All the papers in the case to the cir
cult court, to the state supreme court,
and now to the United States supreme
court, were prepared by Leonard him
