sode occurred to-day in connection with

friends. His left cheek was cut and
bruised and his left eye was completely

fusely. An oculist was summoned and
dressed the eye.
AS soon as he was sufficiently recov-
cred Zachritz went to the courtroom to
represent his client. AS he passed Will
liam C. Creveling the latter held out his
hand and said:
II regret very much that this has oc-
Cured. Judge Zachritz- I knew nothing
of IT until told Of it few minutes ago.
Addressing Judge Bishop a moment
later Zachritz said:
i wish to say that I have always been
friendly toward the defendant in this cas-.
and toward the members OF his family. In
introducing testimony concerning the rumored
engagement OF Miss Marguerite Crevelinx to
Eddie Kelleher / had intention OF Offend

wish to repeat that there was no intention to
bring into bad repute the name OF the youns
lady thus introduced in the case.

GASKIIL'S FORGERIES
CAUSE BANK FAILURE
Collapse of Concern That
Lent Money on False
Collateral.

PHILADELPHIA. June 21.-The City
Trust and Safe Deposit Company. for
years rated among the most reliable
financial institutions in the country. to-
day closed it's doors and Albert L. Tabor
a State bank examiner, was appointed
iquidate, and ]. Hampton Moore. its
president, probably will be appointed per-
manent receiver. 1t is the belief of the
board of directors. as well as Receiver
Tabor, that all depositors will be paid In
fun.
The failure OF the company was the di-
rect issue Of the forgeries of the. late
Benjamin H. GaskiIl. the banker. who.
it was learned yesterday, a month after
his death. had raised many certificates
of stock from one TO 100 shares and bor-
rowed money on them. In this connec-
ton President Moore said:
Beginning In 1898, this company loaned
money to Gaskil & Co., upon excellent securi-
ties, until the aggregate OF the loans reached
$155.0O0. OF this amount. $4,000 was paid
after Mr. Gaskilis death. That left ball
1t was believed the collateral securities amount
ed In value to $127. coo. These securities left
with the company several years ago, were
found. upon examination yesterday, TO have
over $4,000. making the loss TO the company
nearly $50, 600. This loss, added to those sus-
tained during the brief tenure Of office OF
President a e. Appleyard. who was compelled
to resign six months ago. and the TACT that
the company had certain liabilities upon
it's surety bonds. induced the directors to dis
continue the acceptance Of deposits and to
apply for receiver.

There is every year by custom and
by proclamation of president and
governors a day of Thanksgiving. Up
on this day the American nation Of
fers to the throne of Divine Grace its
prayerful thanks and sings peans OF
praise for the many bounties and
blessings that have been bestowed
upon our people. True. in this great
world there may be some who are UNI
able to look back and point with pride
and thankfulnesS to many acts and
things connected with their lives, but
goodness always exceeds the bad and
the world is constantly growing bet
ter and brighter. Opportunities are
increasing and men are not slow to
take advantage of them.
The prayers of praise for the bene-
fits of the past and the prayers OF
supplications for other blessings to
follow will be needed by the Deity
and his constant care extended toward
us. No cataclysm of crime can Grad
icate from man the belief that he is
the creature of supernatural power
and intelligence. The tendency Of
scientific research is to strengthen
this belief by making more manifest
the wondrous works of God. 1t may
be considered doubtful if the belief
in mans divine origin was ever en-
tirely obliterated from any human
mind. With this belief firmly planted
in the hearts and homes of this great
American nation and mindful OF the
true source of all earthly power and
blessings, it is fitting that in the tenn.
pies erected by our people in which
to worship God according to the die
tates of their own conscience, that
they should meet together On this
day and give praise TO Him who
watches over us.

The THANKSGIVING oocoocoo.

The original name of the turkey was
Oocoocoo, by which it was known by
the native Cherokee Indians. 1t Is
supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers,
roaming through the woods in search
of game for their first Thanksgiving
spread heard the Oocoocoo calling in
the familiar tones of our domesticated
fowl, Turk, turk, turk" These first
Yankee huntsmen, mistaking this
cry of the bird for it's real song, I'M
mediately labelled it turkey" and
turkey it is to this day. Much more
beautiful and musical was the Indian
name, 10000 COO" the notes peculiar

Primitive Pilgrim Feasts.

It is supposed that our Pilgrim
parents were. whetting their appe.
tites upon wild turkey at the very
moment when the news Of their pos
sible ultimate starvation reached Eng
land. 1t must have been terrible in
deed on the approach Of winter, with
few and imperfect firearms at COM
mand, for these desperate Puritans to
knock live gobbling turkeys of the
trees and make a meal of them! No
spiced stuffing with chestnuts and
oysters for them. Just simple tur-
key, roasted upon hot stones or boiled
in a cauldron instead of being smoth-
cred in a lidded receptacle basted
every fifteen minutes in its own
Juices.

the hostileS' strength had been re-
duced. SO had the number of troop
ers, and the wounded horses, unable
to respond to the bugle CALL neighed
pitifully from where they had gone
down in the charge.
The wounded were being looked
after and their misery eased where
that seemed possible, when Donald
Mckay took the floor, and, in stentor-
ian tones and Snake dialect, told the
hostiles they had better cease firing
and surrender; otherwise the soldiers
would kill the last one of them.
9 A defiant answer came rolling back,
and just then an Indian woman hold
ing up baby rushed toward the SOL
diers, saying she would surrender to
save her child A shot followed from
the gulch she had left, and her own
husband became her murderer. He
was stalking out to secure the baby
when bullet from McKay's carbine
ended his career. This baby boy was
afterWard raised by pioneer cattle
man named Altnow, and became the
most expert vaquero on the great Pine
Creek Range.
After a twenty-minute parley the
hostiles were given their choice of
determination or surrender, and final
ly chose the latter. Sulkily they came
into camp, what was left of them,
thirty warriors with guns, while as
many more lay dead and dying around
the camp. Dead soldiers were there,
too, six of them, and ten wounded.
Swapping fellows in the very flower
of youth, laid low on that Thanksgiv-
ing morning, a sad sacrifice to the
cruel war waged in the winning OF
the West.
A sorry-looking camp it was, but
there was meat in it, for the Indians
had killed and dried most of Henry
Heppners mules, and they had several
sacks Of dried criekets and cowse and
camas, and a little foul stolen at An
telope. And this was all they had to
offer the guests who had intrudeG on
them.
But where Indians can live, soldiers
can exist, and the late Thanksgiving
breakfast was nearly over when
"Gobble! Gobble! Gobble!"
Those were the words which came
from the adjoining sage brush, and
quickly Capt. Waters had surrounded
the sound and brought in a big gobbler
i that the Indians had staked out. One
! of his tail feathers, painted white,
caused him to be recognized as a for.
mer resident of the Clarno ranch,
which nestled under the shadows of
the high Cold Camp country. The boy
Frank Clarno had painted the feather
and soldiers passing there had no
ticed it.
That turkey furnished a feast for
those forty troopers that Thanksgiv
ing morning There were no Gran
berries, but a sage hen was inserted
into his interior for flayoring, and he
was Drowned on the embers, and there
was a taste for several and Whit OF
the fragrance for all. There was one
wishbone, which the mule meat had

All Bend the Knee to the Turkey

See how all the world bends the
knee to the great turkey. Bends the
knee" because it is impossible to seat
itself at the festal board in any other
fashion. See how it has superseded
even the peacock, for so long king Of
the festal board. In that peacock S
native land of India the Hindoo now
regales himself upon imported Ameri-
can turkey. About 1541 when De
Soto was declaring to his followers
that he would "see gold or die in
poverty" our American bird was intro
duced into Europe. Poor De Soto,
lost in the wilds of the Carolinas, no
doubt would have been hungry but
for the Oc-coo-coo gobbling in the
trees above his head. This was the
musical name given the wild turkey
by the native Indians. The white
faces vacillated between Bubblins
Jock and Turkey, the latter name
winning out at last.

Turkey Our Proper National Emblem.

BY right of American citizenship
the turkey should have been our ma
tional emblem. 1t should have been
emblazoned upon our twenty-dollar
gold pieces in place Of the bird of
prey now enjoying that distinction.
Our forefathers, better imitators than
originators, accepted the eagle of the
Old World as our ensign at the mo-
meat when the American turkey was
gobbling his best to promote his own
cause.
