visions will be stabbed close together at

suggestion now and then 10 make to
Gleason. but the latter will have all the
chance in the world 20 demonstrate his
ability as trainer of racers.
Mr. keene some time ago placed the
entire management of his stable in
Rowe's hands, and the latter has al
ways given satisfaction Mr. Keene
was surprised the other dav when Rowe
told him of his plan TO allow Gleason
TO assume such Onerous duties. but as
Rowe had forcefulN arguments with
which To support his ideas, Mr. Keene
consented
1t is believed that Rowe Will attempt
10 get both Delhi and Sysonby ready
for the carly handicaps. particularly the
Metropolitan, as both are regarded as
exceptional milers. Delhi was AN early
horse last spring when he won both the
Withers and the Belmont at Westches-
ter. Sysonby was also ready to race as
early as Delhi. but he met with several
mishaps which kept him in the barn
until na=dseason. The young colts in
Rowe's division are the get of Com

Leonards- They have been highly tried
and Mr.. keene has great expectations.

ROB INDIAN CHIEFS GRAVE.
GhouIs in Search of Riches Supposed
to Be Buried With Deceased.

NespeIem, Wash, May 13.-Within
the last two weeks the grave Of Chief
Moses has been desecrated, apparent
ly for pecuniary gain.
The object of the ghouls was to Sc
cure trinkets of great value, which,
according TO tradition, were supposed
to be buried with so prominent a per-
son. The coffin was broken open and
pipes, beads and minor articles abb
stracted.
Although buried for over five years,
the body of the dead chieftain was
found in an excellent state of preser-
walton.
Ever since the burial Of Chief Moses
rumcrs have been current that money
buried with him, and it is surmised
that those tales have excited the Gu
pidity of the human hyenas.
The body was redressed and re-
turned to its final resting place by a
large crowd of his faithful people.

When a work room was wanted by the

employment could be given those who
wanted it, but who could not for any rea-
son take steady work. the newspapers Of
Lawrence jumped in and put the enter
prise on a solid foundation by giving an
entertainment.
The work room has been in operation
ever since. 1t has given employment to
many women. and has paid great deal
of money in wages. 1t was desired to inn
prove things along this line, however, and
again the good women came to the news
papers. The World, Journal and Gazette
took it upon themselves to engineer the
project. 1t was decided to invite E w
