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

Arkansas City, Ark.-During the
coldest night of the winter John
Stink, a full-blooded Usage, was
induced to sleep in the Office OF
the Capital hotel here. 1t was
perhaps the first time he had spent
a night under the roof of ho-
tel or dwelling-house for many years.
The Indian is 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 so years old and has no rela'
tives.
He is an outcast from his tribe. He
is supposed by his tribesmen to be pos
sessed of an evil spirit and for this
every Indian shuns him as a viper
This antipathy has existed for years
and, as the story goes, has arisen from
a burial of John for dead and his com
ing back to life again.
After an illness that lasted for
long time. his tribesmen thought hin
dead and he was buried according t.
the primitive customs of the Osages
The Cook County herald., 1905-08-19

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 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 a big tree. He had
a big fire and only a little clothing
He seems able to endure a wonderful
amount of exposure. He seems to have
no aim in life, no hope, no pleasure
He is simply existing until the enc
with the stoicism of his race.

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 a
big tom lion under the most uncOm-
mon conditions of handto-paw 4gnt.
Soon after nightfall Jake heard the
dogs run an animal up a sycamore tree
close to the tent of the great camp,
a few miles up Cave creek. At the
first alarm he rushed out with rife in
hand and saw 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 trifle high. The ball split
Tommy's nose and glanced along the
forehead with just sufficient conclusion
to stun the brute and tumble him tc
the ground.
In a half second the giant cat was
on it's feet and leaping toward it's as
sailant, who had no time to slip an
other ball in place. He had just {
quarter of a second to club his rifle
The first blow as club proved ;ht
theory that the modern rifle is too ten
derly put up for clubbing hard-live e(
cat, for the stock broke clean off,
Then Jake and the panther waltzet
around the tree twice. Jake caresset
the giant cat with the barrel of th'
gun and once the cat tried to hug him
Jake squirmed free of the lions hu,
and hit it hard enough to bend the gul
harrel a 1ittle That ended the dance
The lion measured nine feet from nos
to foot of tail.
For lion to fight as this one di.
is a most uncommon thing. Ordinaril,
miserable dog can run big ton
up a tree, where he sits snarling> an
splitting until a man comes close un
der to dispatch him, sometimes witt
only 20 caliber rifle, if aimed tru
between the eyes.
