PLAYED cRUsoE ON A BET
Cleveland Man Lost Wager on Elec-
ton and Lived Twelve Years
on Island.

After living a Robinson CrusOe exist
ence for more than IL years on Pancake
rock, one Of the Thousand islands in the
st. Lawrence river, Samuel r. Dean, of
Cleveland, has left his desert island to go
out into the world again, says a Water
town. N. Y. dispatch.
Mr.. Dean took up his residence there
as the result of an electiop bet made n
1892. The terms of the wager were that
if he lost he was to live on the most des-
olate spot he could find in the Thousand
islands until republican president had
been elected three times in succession.
Although supplied with provisions,
Dean was to see no human being except
the ferryman who brought supplies
every six months. During the Cleveland
Harrison campaign Mr.. Dean made the
bet with Frederick r. Peters in a London
club. Had the Englishman lost he was
to have led the same existence on the
Shetland islands until a democratic pres
ident was elected thrice.
After the election Peters released
Dean from the agreement, but the latter
insisted on paying the bet in the fullest
measure and commenced his life in exile
in June, 1892. Peters died about five
years ago because Of worry over the fail
ure Of Dean to leave the island.
The morning after the last election
Dean was taken from the island to Mon
treal. At that time he claims his beard
was about three feet long and his hair
about the same length. He had become
accustomed to life on the island and af-
ter a visit to Cleveland, where an agent
has settled up his affairs, he will return
and write book on his experiences.

Lost and Unclaimed Property.

The stories Of lost and unclaimed

human carelessness. Equally so, itwould
seem, is the story of unclaimed stolen
property. In the Rue des Ecoles, in
Paris, yearly sale takes place Of OBJ
jects found on thieves and murderers
unclaimed by their owners. It is truly
surprising that so many people refuse
to claim what belongs to them. Among
the things on view the other day were a

breastpin, e22, and one brooch, e4S.

quirements, secured the Introduction Of
Angoras into South Africa, and now
the supply of mohair from that quar-.
ter is double the output of Asia Minor
The recent rapid development Of the
Angora goat industry in the United
States has been brought about much as
the business might develop in Aus
tralia, namely, by the stocking of bush
land with Angoras for the purpose of
bringing the land into condition for
grazing or tilling. All Angora goat
breeders do not, however, run their
stock solely for preparing the land for
grazing. They run goats for mohair
precisely as Australian sheep herders
run their flocks for wool and mutton.
Once they enter into the business they
are 10th to give it up.
The flock masters of Australia are
now beginning to take an interest in
the Angora, and mohair growing may
yet become an industry of considerable
Importance there.

ANooRA GOATS THRIVE.
Good Grazing Lands in New South
Wales Productive Of
Fine Stock.

From 1856 to 1875 about 300 Angoras
were imported from Asia Minor into
Victoria and South Australia, but sue
cess seems not to have attended the
efforts Of the pioneers. Some of the
failures were due to the fact that An
goras were tried on unsuitable coun-
try, but probably the chief factor in
causing breeders to lose interest in
them was the profitableness of the Me-
rino sheep in those early days when
there was such an abundance Of rich
grazing land available in the two states
mentioned Now the best Of the graz
ing land ig octdpied and the situation
is reversed.
The common goat and the Angora
are as unlike as the wild sheep and the
Lincoln. The common goat will browse
and yield milk-beyond that it is worth
only its skin and is looked upon as a
pariah in the land of the stock raisers.
Not so the Angoras; they are highly
bred animals and look as well on a
farm or station as any CT the breeds
Of sheep or cattle.
The Angora goat and mohair indus
try in Turkey, South Africa and the
United States is a very considerable
and profitable one. Asia Minor is the
home of the Angora, and the rearing
Of the animals there has been carried
on for an unknown number of genera
tions. In South Africa and in the
United States it is of comparatively
modern development British manu-
facturers. finding the supply of Turk

ABOUT THE CITY PRINTING.

The competitive plan for letting contracts for public
printing is being adopted in many cities and towns ana
is the proper and legitimate method
The city council should not assume the prerogative OF
building up private business at public expense When
it is desired to form ring with organ it is proper to
organize and give the printing all to one printing estao
shment and pay exorbtant prices and thus build up
strength for party faction public expense other
wise it should be let the lowest bidder. The city
government is of the whole community and everybodys
taxes go help pay expenses and therefore the people
have some rights in the premises.
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1905-02-27

Two years ago it asserted that the city printing
would be let on the competitive pan but it has not been
done and has all given to shop The Inference
is that all others are antagonists and to be fought and
put out OF business There four job printing offices
in the city, all paying and sharing in the burden OF
governments but penny spent with any of them
except one The mayor and city council don't care for
expenses when it to paying bills for printing out
Of the public funds.
The Cheftain cannot be accused Of sinister motives
in this matter open competition would not give the
advantage and did what it could for the election OF
all the men now holding Office under this municipality.

perhaps saving hundred dollars to the taxpayers OF

PRIZE FOR FINEST LAWN

The Chieftain will pay $500 for the prettlest
and best kept lawn this season in Vinita. The
offer is open to all competitors and the decision
will be rendered on Tuesday, May 3o 1905, by
committee of competent judges Of ladies and
gentlemen to be selected by the donor Now
that we have fine system Of waterworks the
production Of pretty lawns will be comparatively
easy The Chieftain has in mind only the en-
couragement Of the residents Of the city to beau
tiy their homes and thus make them at
tractive to strangers as well as source Of con-.
tinuous pride and JOY to the community.
The paper will be amply renmuerated for the
outlay if it can induce any considerable number OF
families to give attention to flowers, shrubs trees
and grasses, and general cleanliness about their
premises.

Killed in 4 Runaway.

A report from Palissde states that
Bert Bradshaw, a l9-yt!ar-oid young
man, was killed and his father, John
Bradshaw, was seriously injured in a
runaway accident near Palisade last
Friday. The boy and his father were
hauling hay when the team became
frightened and started to run. The
boy grabbed one of the brides and held
on for short time. but was finally
compelled to let go. and the wagon
passed over his head, crushing his skull.
The father clutched the lines when the
horses started running and was thrown
against q fence, receiving injuries that
may prove fatal. %.

DrsSSed to Death.

John X. Connor, ranchman living
six miles northwest Of Grand Junction,
was dragged to death last Saturday
night while returning home. Connor
had taken load of hay to market and
while there had become intoxicated.
When within half mile of his ranch
in some manner he fell through the
hay rack and became entangled in the
lines.
The team followed the road and
stopped at the gste. Connor's wife
had been watching for her husband,
rs she feared something had befallen
him. When she heard the team at the
gate she went out only to find him lying
dead under the wagon, with the lines
wrapped tightly around him. his face a
mass of blood and dirt.
Connor was veteran of the civil
war and member of the G. A. X.

Summer Lecture Course.

The Rev. D. D. Forsyth of the NJ. E.
church. has secured for the city of
Delta man who mas been lecturing in
this state during the past year, and
who draws crowds wherever he goes.
The lecturer is Professor Geo. w. Wat
son, who travelled the Holy Land and
adjacent Bible lands as foreign cor.c-
spondent of the European press. Heis
a man loaded with good material, and
tells what he knows in the popular
newspaper style. He lectures on the
manners and customs of the people of
Bible lands, as they illustrate scripture.
He has been engaged in the College of
Liberal arts, Denver university, and
from that institution of learning holds
an excellent testimonial as to the value
of the lectures he gave there. Surely
this is golden opportunity for the
Bible students and Sunday School teach
ers of Delta to prime themselves in this
necessary department of Bible study.
The lectures will be given in the Meth
odist church. They begin on Sunday
next att II a. m. and continue at $3.50
and p. m. to Thursday evening. The
lectures are free, a collection being
taken at each.
