Missionary Sends Information as 60
Rel Name of Rain-in-the-Face
Miss Mary C. Collins, who has spent
twenty-five years as missionary of the
Congregational church among the In
dams of the Standing Rock reserva-
ton. has sent the following informa-
ton to the State Historical society in
relation to Rain-in-the-Face, who re-
Gently died there.
His real name was Chase the Enemy.
When two years of age he had the
smallpox, leaving his face badly pitted,
hence his nickname. He was the son
of Bearface, and was born fifty-nlne
years ago at the mouth of the Black
Horse Hill creek and lived all OF his
life in that vicinity. On his deathbed
he declared that he neither killed nor
mutilated the body of Tom Custer, but
that he did kill Gen. Custer, being so
near to his victim that the powder
blackened his face. When dying he
boosted that ne was never afraid; did
not know fear; that he had never
killed man except in war; that he
had never killed in the house and new
err committed murder.
The killing of Honzinger and Bali
ran, veterinarian and sutler of the Gus
ter expedition of 1878, for which Rain
in-the-Face was arrested by Tom Gus
ter and confined in Fort Abraham Lin
coln was not, from the Indian view
point, murder, but spoil of war"

PROPRIETOR LEFT BEHIND.
Sheriff Of Sioux Falls Holds Otis Bow
ers on Attachment.

efS on Attachment.
Sheriff Phillips of Sioux Falls has
in custody Otis Bowers of the Otis
Bowers Minstrel company, which came
here to fill an engagement. The ar
rest was made on a body attachment
secured in behalf of woman living at
Watertown.
The company was billed to appear at
other places. and as a compromise
could not be effected it will be neces-
sary to leave Bowers behind. He has
announced that he will apply for writ
of habeas corpus and endeavor by this
means to secure his release.
This arrest is the elimination of an
accident which occurred at Watertown
about two years ago when the Beach
& Bowers MINISTRIES were filling an en-
gagement IN that city. Prior to filling
the Watertown engagement the part
nership had been dissolved. but Bow
ers was one OF the performers and ac-
companied the tent show when it Wis
tied Watertown. He claims he had no
financial interest in the attraction be-
yond the payment of his salary.
During the Watertown performance
a section of the seats fell and several
persons were injured, and among them
was the complainant in the present
case.
She instituted an action for damages
against the company, which was still
travelling under the name of Beach &
Bowers, and the trial resulted in the
plaintiff being awarded judgment
against the company.
Since that time Beach has not play
ed in South Dakota, and it has been i'm
possible 70 serve the judgment papers
upon him. The Watertown attorneys
of the plaintiff learning that Bowers
was to appear in Sioux Falls, sent
the papers in the case to a local attor-
ney, with instructions to secure body
attachment against him.

La Crosse, Wis, Oct. "a. - Buried
under several feet of earth and dug
out before suffocated was the expert
ence of Adolph Spangle a New Am

dirt was being loaded, and the open
space provided air enough to maintain
life until his rescuers freed him.

INDIANS MAKE EXHIBITS.
Successful Fair at Standing Rock
Agency, South Dakota.


Something unique in the history of
the Sioux Falls Indians was fair held
recently at Standing Rock agency, of
exhibits of Indians only. 1t was a
great success, and will be held annual
ly hereafter. The display of bead and
porcupine work was especially inter.
esting, and it is doubtful if similar
display could be equaledl anywhere in
the United States.
The South Dakota delegation in con-
gress is asking for data regarding the
prevalence of tuberculosis among the
Indians of this state. with view of
finding remedy for present conditions
if possible. Full-blooded Indians are
much affected with pulmonary COM
plants, but the white people who live
among them seem to be immune, cases
of consumption among the latter in the
Indian country being very rare.

GETS FRANCHISE
Supervisors Finally Pass
Ordinance Granting Track
Privileges in the Potrero
NO MONEY FOR GRANEY
Finance Committee Declines
to Recommend Payment of
Demands for Horseshoeing

The Board of Supervisors Yesterday
finally passed the ordinance granting
a franchise to the Santa Fe Railroad
Company for certain industrial track
privileges in the Potrero to connect
with its main system. Supervisor
Connor explained that the claims for
damages had been settled and the
final passage of the bill was in order.
Edward Graney's attorney appeared
before the Supervisors Finance Com
mittee and urged that some action be
taken on the demands of his client,
agsregating $429S 70 for shoeing
horses of the Fire Department. The
committee declined to discuss the sub
ject at length and filed a report with
the board to the effect that it refuses
to recommend the payment of the
bills. After the contract to shoe the
horses was awarded to Graney by the
Fire Commission the committee served
notice on the commission that it
would not pass any demands submit
ted by Graney for the work. In all
likelihood a suit will be commenced
by Graney to determine his rights in
the matter. GraneyS attorney be-
came somewhat excited in pressing his
claims, saying that the Supervisors
were negligent of their official duties
in failing to act on the demands. He
said they were simply servants of the
people and their power in the matter
was purely ministerial.
City Attorney Long advised the FL
nance Committee in an opinion that
the amendment passed by the Legis-
lature increasing the salaries of the
Justices of the Peace of San Francisco
to $4,000 per year became effective on
April Is Long says he fails to find
any prohibition in the law against in
creasing the compensation of Justices
of the Peace during their term of Of
flee and that they are State officials
and not controlled by the provisions
Of the city charter.

petitioned the board to purchase the
land necessary to extend the thorough

The Police Commission petitioned
the Board to purchase a gasoline

lice.
The petition of the Health Board
that certain streets in Chinatown be

Committee.
The proposed ordinance granting a

CONGRESSIONAL ITINERARY
LEAVES SAN JOAQUIN OUT
Large Section of State Is Not Included
i'm Coming Irrigation In
Vestigation.


Something of a stir locally has been
caused by the discovery that the
itinerary Of the Congressional delega-
ton that is coming to California to
investigate what has been done in
irrigation and also to consider the
possibilities of irrigation in this State,
excludes entirely the San Joaquin val
ley.
Letters have been received by MEM
bers of the California Water and For
est Association and they establish the
fact that the present intention of the
visiting Congressman is to leave out
the San Joaquin valley, in which great
irrigation systems have been in exist
ence for many years. An inspection
will be made at Yuma, and the party
will then look at other points in
Southern California. The visitors will
come to this city by the coast line One
day Will be given to San Francisco and
two days in the Sacramento Valley.
The attention of the congressman
will be called to the San Joaquin VAL
ley in time TO extend invitations for
inspections in the valley counties. The
Fresno Chamber of Commerce has
been notified. The Congressional party
will arrive at Yuma June 9 and at San
Francisco June IA. The 18th and 10th
of JUNE, according to the present pro-
gramme. are set apart for the Sacra-
mento Valley

At the conclusion of the trial Ashley
succeeded in having Carpenter indicted

brought TO trial and found guilty He
subsequently appealed to the Supreme
Court and that body reversed the YER
dict OF the jury and Carpenter was re-
leased.
Following his release Carpenter be-
gan proceedings to have Ashley dis
barred and they were filed yesterday
morning with the Supreme Court
Clerk. The decision of the highest
court was quickly reached, as an an
swer had been filed at once.
While acknowledging jurisdiction, the
supreme Court declined to entertain
such an accusation as an original pro-
ceeding except when it is instituted by
Bar Association or public body in
the public interests. The court held
that private proceedings should be tried
In the Superior Court, where the allie
cations arose, and where the witnesses
are presumed to reside. The petition
was therefore denied without prejudice.

COUNSEL ADDRESS JURY
AT SMITH MURDER TRIAL
Attorney Henry Ach Makes a Long Ar.
gument for the Defendant and the
District Attorney Replies.

Attorney Henry Ach occupied nearly
the whole of yesterday in his argu-
ment 10 the jury on behalf of Joseph
Smith, the aged contractor, charged
with the murder of Joseph E. Nc
Gowan at 1868 Mission street on No
Vember &c. He severely criticized the
methods Of the Police Department in
sweating" the defendant Immediately
after his arrest. He said il was done
in no other State, and reminded him
of the methods in vogue in France
After they had finished with the old
Ian they sent him TO the Harbor Hos
pital.
He argued that the blows the old
man received from MCGOWAN so dazed
him that he did not know what he was
doing, and he referred to the expert
testimony given on that point He
denounced James Beatty. the chief
witness for the prosecution, in un-
dattering terms and attacked the Dis
trict Attorney for taking witness off
the stand and after consulting with
him making him testify just as he
wanted.
District Attorney Byington began
his closing argument, and the first
thing he did was to characterize the
statement Of Ach as to coaching a
witness as a deliberate falsehood. The
District Attorney viii conclude his
argument this morning.

SEEK TO SAVE CONTOUR
OF HILL FOR PARK.
CITY MAY BUY QUARRY LOTS
Supervisors to Make
Appropriation If
Funds Permit.

The Supervisors have come to the
rescue of the public-spirited women
who are striving to have the contour
of Telegraph Hill preserved for the
park that 1t is hoped to establish
there About the base of this historic
landmark there are five pieces of prop
erty in the control of a quarrying con-
Germ, and cutrag geous Disagreement of
the slope is threatened. If the city's
finances permit, the Board of Super
visors resolved yesterday funds will
be set apart in the budget to buy these
properties and save them from the
ruthless blasting.
1t is expected to have a bond issue
voted on at the election in November
to provide the means 10 build a park OH
the hill The proposition was barely
defeated at the former bond election,
but the Outdoor Art League has never
ceased TO agitate the matter.
The blasting planned at the foot of
the hill would destroy the contour, and
in anticipation of a favorable outcome
Of the fall election, the Supervisors
were asked to buy the properties. The
land will probably be added to the
tract Of the original park site.
The Supervisors, in their resolution,
recite that public interest and neces-
sity demand the immediate acquisition
by the city of an additional public park
on Telegraph HILL To that end the
Finance Committee is requested to ap-
propriate in the next budget a sum not
exceeding $25.000 for the purchase of
fifty vara lot No. 532 at the southwest
corner Of Chestnut and Kearny
streets and such other property sit
uated along the northerly and north
easterly bluff of Telegraph Hill as can
be acquired. The resolution recites that
the grading, blasting and eXcavating
will permanently injure and impair the
present condition and appearance of
Telegraph Hill and If continued will
render impossible its proposed improve
ment.
The board also adopted a resolution
directing the City Attorney to COM
mence at once an action to enjoin the
Globe Grain and Milling Company,
John Center and Pennington Broth
ers from exploding blasts and excavat-
ing on Chestnut street, between Kearny
and Montgomery, and on Winthrop
street, between Chestnut and Lombard,
and causing any portion of the streets
TO cave away and be reduced below
grade.
The permit granted in 1903 to the
company named to explode blasts for
grading purposes in the block bounded
by Montgomery, Kearny, Francisco
and Chestnut streets was repealed.
Grades were ordered changed on San
chez and Twenty-third streets.
