LAND OF woNpRoUs CAVES.
Were Hiding Places Of Outlaws Of the
Indian Territory.

Indian Territory.
Jim Friday, desperate negro outlaw,
was the terror Of the Arbuckle noun
tains for many years. but was finally
hanged at Fort Smith, Ark, In 1882,
for the murder Of a man and his
wife near Fort Arbuckle. says the
Kansas City Journal.
He first murdered the husband and
carried the wife away into cave near
by and here forced her to remain un-
til he grew tired Of her and then muir
dered her. The bones Of both victims
were taken in a box before Judge
Parker and a jury. and when Friday
saw 1t was no use denying the charge
he confessed and told Of several other
deeds still more horrible. United
States Marshal Mershon. who was
known as the "Sleuth" OF the Ar
buckles, captured Friday in the cave,
and 1t Is said that Mershon knew or
other caves in that locality more Won
derful than this one.
1t appears that outlaws would live
in these caves for months at a time
and the officers were powerless to dis
lodge them. A man living In Davis
saws that he knows of caves within
ten miles of Davis where cattle have
been slaughtered and their heads and

Of sullen silence bore down on the two
men. 1t was lifted by the approach Of
Evelyn. Both men were on their feet
as she entered the room. Capt. Wrinkle
bowed low, but no word of greeting
passed his lips. Her father placed a
chair for her, but she signified her de-
sire to stand. Her lip curled with dis
dain as her eyes fell on Wrinkles face,
and then she gave her undivided at
tention to her father.
"You are to decide point between
Capt. Wrinkle and myself" began the
old man, as he released her hands,
which he had taken to lead her to the
chair. HE Is sure he saw you In the
cart with Fanshaw, driving away from
the scene Of the tragedy. 1, Of course,

Evelyn held her head high, her arms
tightly folded; she seemed to have
stopped breathing.

The colonel reeled as II he were
dizzy. For the ensuing, moment there
was no other sound in the room save
his labored breathing. Suddenly he
steadied himself before her, his eyes
expanded.
"Are you crazy, my child?" he blurt-
ed out.

A DANGEROUS LIoUID.-A solid gold
bottle stood on the chemists table,
says the Philadelphia Bulletin.
I'm that bottle" he said, my hy-
drofiuoric acid is kept. Hydrofuoric
acid is used In glass etching. The
etching on glass thermometers Is all
done with It. It Is coloriess. 1t looks
like water.
But a drop Of 1t on your hand
would bore clean through to The other
side like a bullet. Its inhalation Is
sure death.
"Hydrofiuoric aciu an be kept SAFE
ly In gold bottles alone. Sometimes
bottles Of india rubber, Of lead, or OF
platinum are used. None Of these.
though, Is as safe as gold.
Even when this acid is in a gold
bottle, precautions must be taken
with II. It Is volatile, and hence a
paraffine covered plate must be
clamped tight over the bottles mouth.
Also, the temperature Of the room
must rot rise over sixty degrees, or
the gold bottle will burst.
This acid, whose sole use Is In
glass etching, is probably the most
dangerous thing in the world to work
with. The steeplejack, the hon tanner.

hung Imply at his sides for moment,
and then he drew himself up as erect as
II he were on parade and faced his Wis

the Philadelphia Bulletin. Under his
supervision thin boy was learning to

"In oome towns they won't let US
show" said the man, unless we have
no camels with us. Camels are a
serious drawback to shows. Horses are
so mu h afraid Of them that lots OF
towns won't let a camel enter their
gates.
"a horse won't go near a piece OF
ground a camel has stood on. The
very smell Of a camel In the air will
make horse tremble and sweat. And
this fear isn't only around occasion
ally In a horse here and there. It Is
found in every horse all over the
world. Queer, isn't It? / often Won
der why 1t is. Cattle hate dogs In the
same way, and cats hate dogs so. too.
Here, though, we can account for the
hatred. Dogs in primitive times fed
on cattle, no doubt, and even today
here and there, they kill and feed on
kittens.
Horses love dogs, I'm sure l don't
know why. Dogs fear no animals
but pumas and leopards. You can
take a dog up to lions or tigers
cage, and he will show no fear; but
take him up to the cage Of puma or
a leopard, and he will tremble and
moan and stink away out Of sight.

RUSSIA MENAcINa lRpIAi
Steadily Reinforcing Her Military
Strength on the Frontier.


Russia is steadily reinforcing her
military strength. both in men and
guns, In the direction OF the Indian
frontier. says an Associated Press dis
patch Of few days ago.
Sensational rumors Of the dispatch
of reirforcements for Russian Turkes-
tan were current two months ago, but
they were then denied. The Associat-
ed Press Is now In position to af-
firm their truth on the authority Of
traveller Of unimpeachable veracity.
who has just arrived from Tashkend,
and who was a personal witness OF
military activity on the recently COM
pleted orenburg- Tashkend and other
strategic railroads through Merv to
Krasnovodsk. Troops, guns and mu-
nitions Of war have been moving
southwark for two months Between
the middle of January and the middle
of February fifty-six military trains,
mostly carrying artillery, arrived at
Tashkend.
The Associated Press informant said
that the greatest tranquility prevail
ed In the Turkestan region. The only
explanation Of the renewal Oh Russia's
military activity there is THAI IL prob
ably is a demonstration to impress Af-
ghanis.an.
The Associated Press is unable here
to obtain any official admission that
an unusual military move iG In pro-
gress, but Russian Of high position
made the following statement:
Russia has not any designs on In
dia as England Is so fond Of alleging.
II Great Britain would only let US
alone we would not trouble her; but
we arc not blind to the manner in
which Great Britain has seized the oc-
casion of the present war to buttress
all her interests In Central Asia, where
we have as vital interests as sheI nor
can we Russians get over the idea
that, sooner or later, a condict with
our traditional enemy Is inevitable and
we realize that our only path to VIC
tory lies In the direction Of India
"Great Britain has been making hay
while the sun shone. But Russia can
not hold her hands and see Tablet and
Afghanistan converted into Bhutans
or Nepals nor Persia placed complete
ly under British influence"
The traveller In question was Inform
ed although he had no personal mowl-
edge on the point, that Russian troops
had crossed Pamir through Terek
Pass and garrisoned Kashlpar. The
orenburg- -Tashkend railroad was 30
crowded that the traveller was forced
to return by way Of Kramovodsk
The Associated Press's informant
states that the greatest secrecy is OBJ
served. Travellers, who are rare. must
be provided with special permits from
the minister Of war and are kept un-
der the closest surveillance. The bag
gage OF this traveller was twice seized
and searched, although his papers were
regular. It Is most significant that To-
cal officials have been ordered not to
permit Englishmen to travel in Russ
sian TJirkestan.

Senator Clarke was elected to
represent Arkansas In the United

years; and for the entire term Of

ed as the best friend of the people
and the sure defender of the poor
saan. Now imagine a sure de-
fender of the poor man taking that
poor mans money and giving
1913. 900 of it to Jim Clarke for six
days work, during which time
Clarke did the state more harm
than good, compromising with
she railroads by accepting from
them many, many, many thous-
1uds of dollars less in taxes than
by law they were required to pay)
Was this six days work of
Clarke's worth S33,000l Did Da-
Wis prove himself the friend of the
aaboring man in thus giving
Clarke more money for six days
of compromising than the best
farmer in the state could make in
a hundred years by honest toll! Is
It possible that Clarke, IN fact, re-
eeived into his own pocket all that
sum of money for six days work,
work less than nothingl DO we
wonder that Clarke says Davis

A TIMELY SUGGESTION
Precautionary Laws Against Pos
sible Holiday Accidents
Should be Enforced.
To The Newark Journal:

To The Newark Journal:
| wish to give n few thoughts
in regard to the fire works during
Christmas holidays. There is a
quantity of hay and other com
bustible matter stored away in
nearly every barn and clubhouse in
town that is dry and ready to take
fire from any fire cracker or Ro-
man candle, match or any thing of
the sort. The old adage is, A
stitch in time will save nine" and
| think we had better prepare for
the emergency In time by using
plenty of precaution. | have talk
ed with some of the officials of our
town, also with some of the citi-
zens, and they all think as | do.
that Newark is approaching a dan
gerous period and we had better
be ready to meet it. / know that
we have a law to prohibit all such
dangerous things, if our officials
will see that the law is executed.
The law is plain in regard to hand
ling fire works of any kind inside
the Incorporation. The law says
any person or persons guilty of
using fire arms, fire crackers, sky
rockets or Roman candles IN the
incorporated town of Newark shall
be fined not less than 81 30 nor
more than 81 %. The officers
know the law aud their duty.

STATE GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION.
SpOrtmen Meet at Dover and Discuss the Fu-
ture of Hunting in This State.-0ame Scarce

SpOrtmen Meet at Dover and Discuss the Flu
ture of Hunting in This State.-0ame Scarce
The annual meeting of the Delaware
Game Protective Association at the
Hotel RichardSon last week brought
out fine representation of sportsmen
and lovers of game birds and animals
and the future of hunting in this State
was freely discussed. The association
elected the following prominent men
of all three counties as officers: Presi-
dent, Alfred d. Poole, of Wilmington,
secretary and treasurer, Edward G.
Bradford. Jr., of Wilmington; vice
presidents, J. Danforth Bush, of Will
mington for New Castle county James
B. Bice of Dover, for Kent county
and Peter J. Hart of Milton|for Sussex
county. The regular force of game
wardens and detectives was continued.
Reports received during the meeting
of the association indicated that the as
sociation's recent efforts in re.stocking
the state with the fine Chinese pleas
ants were entirely successful in New
Castle and Sussex counties, although
failure in Kent. The years protec.
tion thrown around the big game birds
of brilliant plumage in New Castle and
Sussex Counties brought results.
Many coveys have been seen and theil
location came under the observation oi
the association yesterday through the
reports received. These coveys mum
ber from fifteen to twenty birds, nov
more than half grown. 1t was though
that if the protection could be contin
ued for these birds for another year
the state would be amply stocked will
them and gunners could have the op
portunity of their lives. Meantime
efforts will be made to re-stock Ken
County, if more of the same scarce va
riety of Chinese pheasant can be Sc
cured. The pheasants are as large a
a Golden Spanish Hamburg chicken
but are very wild and cannot be do
mesticated. Other game birds through
ont the state are very scarce in com
parison with former years.
