MAD WOLF CENTURY OLD
Chief Of Cheyenne Tribe Was a
Notable Character.
ALWAYS REvERENCED HIS WIFE
ON RAID IN MEXICO HE WAS THE
ONLY ONE OF BAND THAT
ESCAPED.
ALWAYS REVERENcED HIS Wife

CLINTON, Okla, March lin the
death of Mad Wolf, the once noted war
chief, on his allotment near this city
a few days ago, there passed to the
happy hunting grounds the most unique
character of the Cheyenne tribe of In
dams.
Making his advent upon he stage Of
life almost if not quite century ago,
his early days were spent far away
from the white man and civilization.
Rowing over the almost boundless
plains, hunting the buffalo and ante
lope, he grew up typical Indian brave,
his highest ambition being to become
a noted warrior. With his people he
fought at Adobe Walls, where his only
son was killed. He also claimed to
have been in Clusters last fight.
The old man enjoyed nothing more
than to sit down and, by the aid of an
interpreter, talk to his white friends
of his many advetures He would tell
of the raids made by his people into
Texas and Mexico. In one incident
he related that a number of Cheyennes
went On an expedition into Mexico.
In addition to stealing horses, they
at this time took captive several Next
can girls. When they had gone for
thinking they were now out of danger.
they placed Mad Wolf on guard on
the top of a hill while the remainder
OF the party went into camp in the val:
ley below to get a much needed rest.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-03-01

True to the trust connded in him.
Mad Wolf watched the long night al
most through, but just as the dawn
began to break sleep overcame him,
when suddenly he awOke to find the
white soldiers almost upon him. There
was no time to give warning to those
in the valley below: twas all he could
do to save himself.
Ere the sun was an hour high all
his comrades lay dead on the ground.
After days Of travelling and suffering,
frequently from hunger and thirst, Mad
Wolf reached his camp alone, in dis
grace, no trophies. no companions.
Poor old man, he was ever true to
the traditions Of his fathers. While
he chung to the ways and superstitions
of his race, he never forgot kindness
and was ever true to those whom he
considered his friends.
average Indian, and that was his de-
votion and loyalty to his wife. When
she grew old and blind he did not
throw her aside, as is the Indian Gus.
tom, but tenderly cared for her, and
there was nothing more touching than
to see him carefully leading her by
the hand, or taking the dinner given
him in camp to be divided with the
poor blind woman
When she died he had her buried by
the white minister and could not rest
himself until an enclosure had been
placed around her grave in order that
she might not be disturbed by cattle
tramring over her grave.

YERKES MILLIONS HIDDEN
Bonds Worth 100000 Said
10 Have Been Concealed.
WHY MINER LEFT HIS HOME
REPORT THAT YERkES ESTATE
HAD sHRUNKEN is NOW EN-
PRACTICALLY DENIED.

NEW YOEK, Mar. 1-Another amaz-
ing development in connec-ron with the
series of sensations associated with the
Charles T. Yerkes millions has come to
light in the discovery that the value of
the estate Of the traction magnate of
the two worlds amounted to nearer
$40 100000 at the time of his death
than to s15,0OO,OOO, at which sum it
was estimated by the lawyers and ex-
ecutors at the time the will was read
in this city.
That news Of this startling discovery
has suddenly reached the ears of Mrs.
Yerkes-Mizner seemed certain when it
was learned that she had hurriedly re-
voked her decision to withdraw as
trustee under the will, and Louis S.
Owsley, co-trustee with her and her
stepson, Charles, had rushed to this
city from Chicago, summoned to a
conference with her.
Miner Suspicious.
"It has been ascertained," said a
friend of Wilson Miner, the young
husband who left the house on ST. Val
entine's day, after tempestuous scene
with his bride of less than three weeks,
because she would not give a million
dollars to him, that about s50,000,000
worth of bonds and securities belonging
to the Yerkes estate had been hidden.
Wilson, who had been counsellor to
Mrs Yerkes for more than fourteen
months before he married her, and in
consequence was thoroughly convers-
ant with the details Of the Yerkcs for

tune, of which Mrs. Yerkes kept her
self well posted, had his suspicious
aroused Immediately after the estimate
of the value of the estate had been
made by the lawyers and others inter
ested. Quiet Investigation begun at
that time reached the point where 1t
was indicated that his suspicious had
foundation in fact
Mr.. Joline, lawyer for Mrs. Yerkes
in this city, said it was impossible to
estimate the value of the estate at this
time and he remarked that he had
any person who had any knowledge of
the actual value of the estate
Shrinkage, or in Hiding.
The report that the Yerkes estate
had shrunk mysteriously was emphat-
ically denied by Louis S. Owsley, one
of the trustees. I'VE do not know of
any shrinkage," he said, ''and so far
have not been able to tell the value
Of the estate. Of course, nobody can
say what certain properties will bring
until those properties have been offered
for sale. So far as the London securi-
ties held by Mr.. Yerkes are concerned,
will say that there has been no de-
crease in their value. About the chi
cago tractions-well, that's another
story
1t is not a shrinkage, however, in
the value Of the securities that the Miz-
ner people hint at, but a deliberate
hiding of quantities of bonds
