self Through Window.
WAS TRYING TO ESCAPE FROM
IMAGINARY FOE.
Appeared in Police Court This
Morning and Gets Fine of
Ten Dollars.

Clara Adams, a colored woman
who has lived in rooms over a
block in the down town district
of the city, was arrested last
night by the police, and when
found was hanging by her night
dress out Of a second story win
dow of the building, shouting for
some one to save her from an
imaginary foe whom she thought
was pursuing her. The woman
was found to have been addicted
to the liquor habit and last night
was taken with delirium tremens.
Itseems that she had i'm bibed
too freely in the flowing bowl
yesterday, and by nightfall had
accumulated fair sized jag
which resulted in unbalancing
her mind. She was on the eve
of retiring when seized with the
fit, and when the officers took
her in hand had on but scanty
raiments and was hanging from
the window, using her night
dress for rope.
She was taken to the police
station, where she remained dur.
ing the night and appeared in
police court this morning some
what sobered and plead guilty to
the charge of drunkenness.
Judge Reynolds imposed a fine
of ten dollars, which it said she
will secure.

That Is the Normal COndi.
ton Of the Noble Red Man
Declares Major Scott.
INTERVIEW WITH OLD TIME
FIGHTER OF APACHES.
Wants to Import 100 Apache
Warriors for EduCatiye Pur-
poses at Walker.

A few days since a representa-
tive of the Pioneer paid a visit to
the beautiful Leech Lake Indian
agency at Walker and enjoyed a
brief call on Major Scott, the
hero Of many fights with the wild
Apache and the man who has
made a record for efficiency as
agent at Leech Lake unexcelled
by any Indian agent in the United
States.
BY boat across from Walker
one may land at the Leech Lake
agency within few minutes but
the peninsula upon which the
agency buildings are situated is
long, narrow and so given over
to every possible vagary of curve
that you may walk all day if you
are resolved to essay the trip on
foot The agency buildings,
school house, chapel, offices, saw
mill, store, warehouses and resi-
dences are scattered thickly over
the end of the peninsula and the
spot is one of exceeding beauty.
On the brow of a small prom
ontory threatening the lake
stands the comfortable modern
home of the agent commanding a
beautiful view across the bay.
Here Major Scott is monarch Of
all he surveys and here he re.
ceived us. Questioned concern
ing the condition of the Indian in
general the Major declared, "The
normal condition of the Indian is
abject poverty. Should he hap
pen to get little store of money
he straightway becomes restless
and uneasy, dissatisfied and I'M
happy. He gets rid of his money
with all possible dispatch and
when it is gone, when he does
not know where his dinner is
to come from, he can sit in the
SIM, dig up a grievance against
the government and be su-
premely unhappy"
"What do they do with their
money, Major" we asked as he
told of an Indian woman who rid
herself of $500 in one week.
"Do with it, the Major replied
"Do with it. Why an Indian
never does anything with his
money but get drunk with it.
Male or female the first act of an
Indian with his money is to get
drunk. -
Major Scott is very bitter
against the white man who per
sists in selling liquor to the In
dians. ''These Indians ale a
harmless lot when drunk" said
he "but a drunken Apache is a
very devil. Say, I would just like
to import a hundred Apaches and
turn 'em loose in Walker. They
would get whiskey of course.
They always do, but there would
not be enough left of Walker the

The two games of base ball to

day promise to be the most inter:
esting ever played in the city,
and local fans are worked up to
a high pitch in anticipation Of the
events. Both teams claim the
championship of Northern Min

but that the playing will be for
blood. The lineup of the Be
midi team will remain the same
as last Sunday and jackson will

perhaps one or two games these
will be the last played here dur
ing the present season, and
those who like to see a good game

The next Democratic National Con-

at meeting of the National Commit
tee in Washington on Wednesday and
the selection was made after trial OF
strength between German and Hearst,
prominent as candidates for the Presi-
Dental nomination, in Difference to the
wishes of the Senator from Maryland.
The Committee, however, while vot-
ing with Mr.. German in the matter, it
is stated, doubt his availability as a
Presidential candidate and prefer
someone else. The slogan of the meet
ing of the committee and of the prom
inent democrats throughout the coun-
try pres ent, in fact seems to have been,
for the Democrats ''to get together, y
and forgetting all past differences, not
to give their support blindly to Mr..
German or anyone else preferred by
them, bnt to the man most likely to
win out in the Presidential contest.

Delegate E. G. Jordan on the first
day Of the new Legislature introduced
a bill, which seeks, like his previous
bill, to break the Baylor survey, but
along different lines-reported in the
Baltimore Sun as follows:
The bill first lays down the propo-
sition that natural oyster rock is that
which spontaneously yields sufficient
oysters to make their taking profit
able. All other grounds are barren
and subject to lease and planting.
With this as the basic principle, 8
special joint legislative committee is
to be named, the members of which
are not to engage in the oyster in
dustry during their terms, to which
citizens desiring to lease certain
grounds must address themselves in
writing.
The grounds specified are to be In
spected by the committee, aided by
a disinterested local licensed tong
man and planter and an expert, if
needed. The portion of the ground
In question determined fruitful is to
be permanently staked off. The bar
rem portion is to be divided into Sec
tions of as nearly 10 acres each as
possible, numbered consecutively, no
one person to be allowed to lease less
than 10 nor more than $50 acres.
These sections 80 marked are to be
charted on the Baylor survey in the
Office Of the clerk Of the county where
in they lie.
Lessees are to be granted leases of
90 years each unless forfeited sooner
by failure to comply with the law.
They are to pay the same annual
rental DOW prescribed by law, with
the addition of 81 per acre, which
shall be paid to the State Board of
Fisheries, to pay the expense of leas-
ing the grounds.
The bill further gives any % voters
of district wherein such lease is
granted the right within two months
thereafter to file a petition against
the lease in the County Clerks office,
mpari,. 4 by bond in sum suffi
client - cover all costs. This shall be
dc.xeted with the Circuit Court and
The case tried at the next term
Should the judge find that fruitful
rock has been included with the bar
rem in the lease, he may correct the
error. Both sides may appeal to the
Supreme Court. The special commit.
tee is to report it's proceedings to the
next Legislature.

General John B. Gordon, of Georgia,
is dead. He passed away at his win
ter home in Florida last Saturday,
universally loved by the people Of the
South for the record he had made in
peace as we'll as in war Without
military training having been educa-
ted for the law, and only q years old
when he entered the Confederate army,
in less than four years by the force of
his great genius for command, he rose
rapidly from the rank of Captain to
that of Major-General, was the trusted
lieutenant of General Lee and COM
manded the right wing of his army.
After the war he occupied the positions
of Governor and United States Sena-
tor, the highest his State had to offer
him, and was commander Of the United
Confederate Veterans from the COM
mencement of that organization until
his death. AS a hero of the Lost
Cause, it can be truly said, that no
one fought with more conspicuous
gallantry or won for himself more
enduring fame-as a statesman he
left name untarnished and as bril-
liant as any in the annals of his coun-
try. The whole South mourns the
death of this great and good man and
all the people Of the South unite in
loving tributes to his memory.
General Stephen D. Lee succeeds
him as commander of the United
Confederate Veterans. In his order
assuming command he eulogizes Cen
eral Gordon, referring to his wonder
full career as soldier, statesman and
citizen, declaring that, full Of love
for all, pure in mind, heart and be-
havior, a consistent follower of his
Maker, he was possibly the greatest
representative of the old cOurtly South
ern gentleman, and his place cannot
be filed"
