physicians had to cut him open to let

last thing he intends doing, for he got
fat and healthy and gives no evidence

Independence, May 14.-W- c. Fore
man has sworn out a warrant in the
probate court charging Mrs. Kate Hus-

in the last house on the south side of

Mr. Foreman said this morning that
he and his neighbors had tolerated
Mrs. Huston as long as they could
For two years. says Mr.. Foreman,
"she has made life miserable in our
end of town and the limit of endurance
has been reached. We are satisfied
that she is crazy, for no human being
in a normal condition could be so pos
sessed as she is. The woman is about
40 years of age and has been married,
but her husband is at large. having
obtained a divorce from her several
years go. She seems to have grudge
against children, little girls especially,
and our little folks are positively un-
safe in her sight. She throws rocks at
the neighbors. and there is near my

wheelbarrow that the woman has ma

were present. Among these were the
Osages, Otoes, Cheyennes, Arapahoes,
Tonkawas, Pawnees, Kaws, Sioux,
Onahas, Kiowas and Comanches. All
were decked out in full dress regalia
and it was a grand sight to see them

the rest of the day.
White Eagle is now about seventy
five years old and has been chief of
the Ponca Indians for over thirty
years. In his time he was considered
to be a good chief but of late years
he has been incapacitated for work
and was finally compelled to give over
the reins of government into the hands
of his son because of his advanced age
His rapid decline is partly due to an
accident which he had at POnca City
last winter. He went to town, took on
an extra large package" of fire wa
ter and froze his feet on the way home.
Since then he has not been able to
walk Otherwise he has a fine ply
sique and IS one of the largest Indians
in the tribe. Horse Chief, his son, who
succeeds MIN as chief of the tribe re-

Next to the buffalo hunt the ball
game was the most interesting feature
of the Indians part of the perform
ance- This was participated in by the
Otoe Indians and they mixed it up in
a way that would put the local leaguers
to shame. Indian ball. however, is diff
ferent from baseball and reminds one
more of the old fashioned game of
''shinney."
One of the most interesting charac-
ters present at the buffalo hunt was
White Eagle, retiring chief of the Pom
cas- And, curiously enough, he took
less interest in the affair than any one
else on the grounds. The old man was

1t was intended that this should be
the leading feature and much was ex-
pected of it. As a successful piece de
resistance. however. it turned out to
be a little weak Three buffaloes had
been shipped from the Goodnight
ranch and a great deal of preparation
had been made but it was not as in
teresting as the performance given by
the cowboys When about two hun
bred Indians get after three buffalo in
an enclosure the hunt part of it is
eliminated to q certain extent. There
is nothing to it. Tt is a one sided affair
and the buffalo does not even get a
chance to bluff. All that he can do is
to lay down his cards and give up and
allow himself to be slaughtered. This
was the case with the Ponca affair."

chase" some one drew a bead on the
largest buffalo with a. Winchester and

has been called, to the announcement of
your next annual dinner and to the pro-
gramme of addresses scheduled for the
occasion. which are to be delivered by

land
"Open declaration is made that II is
proposed in these speeches to attack
the present municipal administration of
San Francisco and to predicate upon
them a demand for a change to better
conditions.
Notwithstanding the false and
abusive comments with which the pres
ent officials of the city have been Show
cred by several lying newspapers, and
by no means claiming that it is abso-
lutely perfect, 1 venture to affirm that
no administration of the city's affairs
has ever been more thoroughly honest
and clean in every administrative de-
partment than this; and so believing,
and thinking that possibly your sense
of fairness and justice would impel you
to give hearing to both sides of the
question, / respectfully request that
place upon your programme be accord
ed to a speaker who may in reply fair
ly present the actual conditions from
the standpoint of the present admin
istration, and whose name, if this sug-
gestion be favorably received, l should
be pleased to submit TO you after con-
ference with the heads of the various
municipal departments.
This request is considered justifiable
by the quasi-public nature of the
scheduled event and by the semipublic
functions assumed by your organiza-
tion. Very respectfully.

TROUT UPHOLDS LAW FOR
PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS
City and County Have Right to Pay
Surety Company for Bonds OF
Five Officials.


In a decision upon a demurrer, which
has been under submission since Sept
ember 20, Judge Trout yesterday up
held the constitutionality of the law
providing that the premiums for bonds
given by surety companies for State,
county and city officials shall be paid
by the State, county or city, respec-
lively.
The court sustained the demurrer,
without leave to amend and dissolved
the temporary restraining order grant
ed on July Is in the suit of julius c.
Saulman against Auditor Harry Baehr
and Treasurer John E. McDougald to
enjoin the auditing and payment of
the claim of the National Surety Com
pany for $1475 premium on the bonds
of city and county officials. The prem
iums were divided as follows: Treas
urer, $500; Tax Collector, $500; County
Clerk, $500; Auditor. $125, and Sheriff.
$3.50
In his complaint SauIman used this
language: That it would be an i'm
proper, unauthorized and illegal gift to
the individual for the premium on
whose official bond such payment was
made and an illegal conversion of pub
lie funds to private uses''

SUICIDE NEIDLEIN'S WIFE
COMES AFTER HIS COIN
From the Coroner She Collects His
Last Cent and Refuses to


Bury Him.
The wife of F. w. Neidlein called at
the Coroner's office yesterday with her
son and informed Chief Deputy Coroner
Mccormick that she would not bury the
body. All the property that he left con-
sisted of 46 cents. A check for this sum
was given her by the deputy. She ex-
pressed surprise that the dead man
had not left a larger sum.
Neidlein was a cabinetmaker and
committed suicide by taking carbolic
acid. He had been living apart from
his wife. Receipts found on his person
show that he had been making monthly
remittances to her far in advance of
what he could afford at the wages he
was earning.
. J. ]. Sweeney. a friend, informed the
Coroner yesterday that he would defray
the funeral expenses.
