INDIAN is WITHOUT TRlBe.
Supposed to Be Possessed of an Evil
Spirit, Usage Brave Is Exiled
from His Claim.

Arkansas City. Ark.-During the
coolest night of the winter John
Stink. full-blooded Usage. was
the Capital hotel here. 1t was
perhaps the first time he had spent
night under the roof of q ho
tel or dwelling house for many years
The Indian is Il peculiar character and
therefore the reason for his living out
OF doors. As an Usage he is possessed
OF considerable wealth and yet he is
nearly 80 years old and has no re.a
tives.
He is an outcast from his tribe. He
is supposed by his trbesmen to be pos
sessed of an evil spirit and for this
every Indian shuns him as viper.
This antipathy has existed for years,
and as the story goes, has arisen from
q burial of John for dead and his com
ing back to life again.
After an illness that lasted for
long time his tribesmeu thought him
dead and he was buried according to
the primitive customs OF the Osages.
This was to cover the body with stones
to sufficiently prevent the wolves from
getting to it. He was placed on the
hill used for the burying ground and
the stones piled over him. But he was
not dead. His strength returned and
he was able to wiggle out from among
the stones and eventually recovered.
Since that time no Indian will have
anything to do with him. He beats
about the country surrounding Paw
huska, camping under hooks about
town when he Is here, but refusing al
ways to sleep under a roof.
The night when he was induced to
sleep in the hotel office was bitter cold.
The old Indian had wandered about
until he was almost frozen, when some
men almost forced him to go into the
hotel to stay
The night before he had slept out
of doors under big tree. He had
a big fire and only little clothing
He seems able to endure wonderful
amount of exposure. He seems to have
no aim in life, no hope. no pleasure
He is simply existing until the end
with the stOicism of his race.

LAWS HIT THEIR MAKERS.
Minnesota Legislators Are Accused
Of Violating Statutes They
Put Through.

st. Paul, Minn.-Some of the state
legislators have recently had a prac-
tical demonstration of the efficacy of
laws which they helped to pass. They
have been caught by the legislation of
their own making.
few days ago prominent Mime
sofa farmer, who served one or two
terms in the state legislature and tool,
especial interest in the protection oi
game and fish, was fined $25 on a
charge OF fishing for bass out of sea
son. The former legislator paid the
fine without remonstrance Some OF
HIS companions said that they were
not fishing for bass, but. that one OF
the fish got on the hook by accident
The former legislator, however, did
not make this excuse
Not many months ago a representa-
tive who as merchant took especial
interest in the law protecting legit-
innate dealers against box car mer-
chants. was fined on charge of sell
ing baking powder and spices that
were below grade This representa-
tive, ii is said, helped frame the dairy
and food law and he is now convinced
that the law covers the ground.
A state senator who lives in the
Second congressional district got
caught in similar manner. His hob
by in the senate was to require milk
dealers to secure milk licenses After
he mad helped pass such a law and had
gone home he was notified by the state
dairy and food commissioner that if
he did not take out license for per-
mission to sell milk to neighbor
across the road from his house the
commission would prosecute him. He
took out a license the next day.

KILLS FERocIous WILDCAT.
Arizona Man in Terrific Battle with
Mountain Lion Lands Extra
Heavily and Brute Dies.

Cave Creek, Ariz.-On a moonlight
night recently Jake Linville killed
big tom lion under the most uncom-
mon conditions OF a hand-to-paW .ignt.
Soon after nightfall Jake heard the
dogs run an animal up sycamore tree
close To the tent of the great camp,
a few miles up Cave creek AT the
first alarm he rushed out with rifle in
hand and saw a long, quivering body
crouched along the lowest limb. In
the dim moonlight and with his de-
fective vision he aimed between the
blazing eyes of the brute, but the
merest tfifie high. The ball split
Tommy's nose and glanced along the
forehead with just sufficient conclusion
TO stun the brute and tumble him to
the ground.
In a half second the giant cat was
on it's feet and leaping toward its as
sailant, who had no time to slip an
other ball in place. He had just a
quarter of second to club his rifle.
The first blow as club proved .be
theory that the modern rifle is too ten
derly put up for clubbing a hard-liyed
cat for the stock broke clean off.
Then Jake and the panther waltzed
around the tree twice. Jake caressed
the giant cat with the barrel of the
gun and hnce the cat tried to hug him.
Jake squirmed free OF the lions hug
and hit It hard enough 10 bend the gun
barrel little. That ended the dance
The lion measured nine feet from nose
to foot of tail.
For lion to fight as this one did
is most uncommon thing. Ordinarily

up tree. where he sits snarling and
spittina until man comes close un-
der to dispatch him. sometimes with
only q % caliber rifle, if aimed true

IOWA t4uIIiE Lv,,~
STATE CENSUS 0ETuRNs SHOW
GREAT DECREASE.
Rural Population of Hawkeye Com
monweelth Wanes-Bcef Trust
and Costly Farm Land Is
Given as the Cause.

Des Moines, lathe returns from
the state census indicate startling
decline in the rural communities. and
while some of the larger towns have
shown an increase, it is likely that
the population of the state will be less
than five years ago.
Ole OF the reasons ascribed for the
revealed condition is that land values
have increased so rapidly and to such
an extent that the young man wishing
to pursue agriculture as Il vocation can
moi afford TO settle here when the north
and the west offer lands for a small
portion of the cost that he would have
to pay in Iowa 1t is practically out
OF The question for him to buy a farm
that sells from S75 to $125 per acre.
This valuation, too. places the rentals
almost at prohihitive figure. High
rentals must be secured by the owners
to secure interest on their investment.
Another reason which seems feasible
to some is that the bee trust has
manipulated the markets TO such an eX-
tent that there has been little or no
nrof. during the past three years in
raising and fattening stock. Live stock
has been one of the big items of profit
in Iowa in bygone years. Simultaneous
with this has been adverse crop coudi-
tons Of two or three years. High water
las made the lowlands untillable, and
heavy rains at the wrong seasons have
injured the crops on the uplands.
In counties where agriculture is the
only source of revenue, the decline in
population is most marked. Monona
county shows decrease Of between
i000 and 1900 from the census of
1900; Buchanan county shows de-
crease of 5000 and other agricultural
counties report similar losses.
The only thing that offsets and par
TALLY reduces the slump is in the larger
cities, where manufacturing interests
are securing control
There are heated controversies in
several states on account of provisions
| of the state liquor law. This pro
| vides that in towns of less than 5000
| population the consent of 60 per cent
of the voters OF the county in which
it is located must be secured before
liquors can legally be sold. In towns
of more than 5000 the consent of the
majority of the voters of the town only
| is needed
Many towns of the state have pop.
ulation of either a little more or a
| little less than 5000. The prohibition
| element is watching the census closely
| lest it be stuffed" in order to make
| tho town pass the 5000 mark They
| allege that the liquor element is will
ing to perpetrate fraud in order to
secure the liquor-selling advantage.

Been stolen from the freight yards OF

material was wood tubing, covered

There We're 1000 feet of the tubing

odor from the creosote, the tubing

After several days in the neighbor-
hood they saw smoke ascending from
a chimney in Nelson street, which
filled the air with the odor of creosote.
In the back yard of the house were
half dozen lengths of tubing. In
other yards near by 400 feet were ro-
covered,
