TWO YOUTHS MADE POOR At
TEMPT TO HOLD UP e. K.
HENRY.
Failed to Brighten Their Intended
Victim and Beat a Hasty Retreat
Across tho Field.

The identity Of the two boys who
attempted to hold up E. K. Henry
yesterday afternoon near Walla Wal
la on the Milton road is still un-
known. 1t is supposed that they were
two youths who had been reading
novels telling of the deeds of high
way and they concluded that they
would make try at the act. Mr..
Henry, who was coming to Walla
Walla stated that he was stopped by
one Of the boys who ordered him to
throw up his hands. Henry refused
to comply with the request and
threatening to do things to the youth,
the boy made a rapid getaway" run
ming as hard as he could across the
field. Another boy about Is years
old was found lying behind a fence,
but ne beat hasty retreat when Hen
~ approached him.
The occurrence was reported to
the sheriff's office and Sheriff Painter
went out to investigate. He was
unable to locate the boys. One of
them wore a paper mask while the
other had nothing over his face.

Ge-zhe- osh, Aged Hero of Indians,
Suddenly Drops Dead.

HAYWARD, Wis, Dec. 29.-News
has reached here from the Indian viii
lage Of Reserve of the death of &C.
zhe-osh, the patriarch Of the Chippe-
wa, the medicine man and chief
The day of his death he attended a
feast given by some of the Indians of
the village, where, in the capacity of
medicine man, he was called upon to
officiate in a tribal ceremonial.
After he had made talk, and
while smoking the pipe which is the
concomitant of all Indian social func-
tions, he was seized with a fit Of
coughing and fell forward on his face,
dead

derful age, wa sa man with re-
markable history. Born somewhere
near the head Of the lakes in the year
1895, he spent nearly all his life in the
region of his birth land in passing one
entire century and parts of two others,
he watched the evolution of his tribe
from the utter savagery of his boy
hood days to the degree Of enlight-
ment it has now attained.
Hero in Many Wars.
In his early manhood, Ge-zhe-osh
participated in the bloody wars be-
tween the Chippewas and Sioux, and
in the numerous conflicts in which he
was engaged he distinguished himself
as a bold and cunning warrior.
Many Sioux braves are said to have
fallen by his hand, and great was the
fear inspired in the breasts Of his enc
mics by this intrepid warrior. For his
valor he was made a tribal chief, and
by the strength Of his medicine" he
became one Of the leading medicine
men Of his tribe.
In the early treaties between the
Chippewas and the government, &C.
zhe-osh took a leading part and in
later years he made three different
journeys to Washington as a member

first administration.

While there he and his compan-
ions attracted a great deal of atten-
ton and were given special attention
by the president and Mrs. Cleveland.
Ge-zhe- Josh was a man of temperate
habits, using neither liquor nor to-
baccO to excess.
The chief is survived by one soma
man of 49, His other
children, four in number, and his wife
have been dead many years. He was
the last survivor Of the Chippewas
who signed the early treaties between
the tribes and the government.

White Bandits Sent to Jail.

IIonea Path, September 2O.-John
Marion Ashley, Robert Moore and his
three sons, John, Josh and Win, Sam
Bagby and Hugh Bowen, charged with
having murdered Alien Pendleton Sun
day night, were arrested this afternoon
by Sheriff Lyon and lodged in the Able
vile county Jail tonight. Solicitor
out the warrants. The crime was COM
mitted in Abbeville county and Sheriff
Lyon came over to-day to make the ar
rests. He found the leaders of the mob
at their homes three miles below Honea
Path and arrested them without any
trouble.
No news of any kind can be had from
the Ashleys: They are silent, refusing
to have anything to say about the plans
of John Marion, who is a cousin of
Joshua w. Ashley, member of the Leg
islature from Anderson county.
At the inquest held before Magistrate
Martin on Monday witnesses testified
that the men captured to-day took the
negro into the woods for the purpose of
killing him against the protest of the
better citizens who begged that the law
of this town, swore that he saw Robert
Moore place the trace chain around Pen
dlcton's neck. The fact also came out
at the inquest that when the murderers
were wavcring John Marion Ashley de-
clared that Pendleton had to die that
night. His neck was broken by the
chain and he was riddled with bullets.
Pendleton was butchard because he had
killed jim Moore, but the evidence
showed that Pendlcton acted in sclf-de-
fcnse.
There is much comment here over the
burial of the victim. His body was
placed on board and dragged into the
woods, whore n ditch was dug. The
body was thrown in, no coffin being used.
and was only partially covered with dirt.
Magistrate Bowen has sent an official
report t" Governor Hayward, saying that
the blank verdict was rendered by a Jury
in spite of the evidence which proved
that Ashley and the Moorcs had com,
mittcd the murder.
| All of the Ashley family in this section
were not implicated, John Marion, in
| fact, being the only member who partci-
pated in the affair. Melvin Ashley, a son
, of Representative Ashley, tried to per-
suadc the mob not to kill the negro, and
he testified that his relative, John
Marion, was i'm the party.

Royal Arcanum Facing Fight.

Nashville, Tenn, September 2l.-
Twenty-Five members Of the local coun-
ellis of the Royal Arcanum has filed a
bill in the Federal Court here to enjoin
the Supreme Council of the order from
proceeding under the new rules and
assessments adopted ut Atlantic City.
The complainants concede the right of
the Supreme Council to raise the assess
mcnts and amend its rules, but insist
that it must be done in reason and JUS
tice to all. They contend that the recent
action of the council was unjust because
it raised the rates of old men and lowered
that charged young men.
The bill also seeks to retain as sacred
the emergency fund and prevent it's use
for any other purpose than that of pay
ing premiums and policies of old men
for which it was intended and created.
Injunction Granted
Nashcville, Tenn, September % On
the petition of members of the Royal
Arcanum, Judge Clark, of the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday granted
an injunction restraining the Supreme
Council of the Royal Arcanum from put
ting into effect the advance in rates de-
cided upon at the recent conference at
Atlantic City, n.
The petitioners allege that the rates
will force out of the order every member
over 80 years of age. Judge Clark set
October 20 as the date for argument on
the question of making the Injunction
permanent.
