GREAT CHIEF JOSEPH.
A NOBLE AND BELOFED AMERI-
CAN INDIAN HO DIED OF A
FOUNDED HEART.

Pathetic Tale of Governments Bro
ken Promises.-his Ancestors Wei
coined Lewis and Clark in Their
Western Explorations.
C. J. BLANCHARD.
The most picturesque character OF
the western frontier passed away last
year when Chief Joseph of the Nez
Perces, or, as they knew him, In-mut-
too-yah-lat-lat (Thunder travelling over
the mountains), folded His blanket
about him and passed beyond the Great
Divide. The members of his tribe,
all of whom were s%ingularly devoted
to him, and the privileged few Of the
white race who knew him intimately,
believe that this great leader, perhaps
the greatest Indian leader of the
period, died of inconsistencies and heart
ache.
To know Chief Joseph was TO have
revealed to you a glimpse into a van
ished past. There was a loftiness and
dignity mingled with a charming
naivet6 in his manner, and a tender
pathos in his speech, that made you
forget the Indian and recall the old
Hebrew prophets of the days of the
Captivity.

disc, with rich pastures for ponies.
1t was in this valley that the grand
father of Chief Joseph welcomed the
daring explorers, Lewis and Clark.
Speaking of them, Joseph said: They
talked straight, and our people made
them a great feast. All the Nee Perces
made friends with Lewis and Clark,
and agreed to let them pass through
the country, and W to make war on
white men. And this promise the Nez
Perces have never broken. No white
man can accuse them of bad faith, and
speak with a straight tongue. 1t has
always been the pride Of the Nez Perces
that they were the friends OF the white
men"

not last. There came a day when by
means Of presents and fair promises
q portion of the band signed a treaty
dividing their lands. Joseph's father
refused to sign away his birth-right,
and withdrew his band from the coun-
Gil. In 1868, another council was held.
A chief, named Lawyer, with authority
Of a part of the tribe, sold nearly all
Of the Nez Perces country, including
the Wallowa Valley. The latter was
the particular property of Joseph's own
people; it's boundaries, for years, had
been marked by poles; had never been
disputed. The old chief said: Inside

man may take the land outside. In

MARKET GARDEN TYPE.
New Style of Auto suitable for
Carrying Farm Produce.

Sol yIlt9 "hhh
One of the first cable pictorial de,
scriptions of the useful war automobile,
as shown in the illustration, has just
came to hand. This is a special farm
er's type. 1t can be constructed in any
small power, for jogging along pur-
poses, from 80 to 100 horse. A special
feature of interest to market gardeners
is the ability of the wagon to run TOR
twenty minutes after having the tires
riddled with bullets, which makes it
thoroughly practical. 1t is entirely
bomb-proof when beyond the range Of
the enemy's guns. A starting crank
is fitted in front, but "the machine can
be started automatically from the
lrivers seat" where the principal crank
is supposed to be located. ION the top

CLARKsBURG NEGRO ATTEMPTS ASSAULT ON OUNDSVLE LADY

Edward Greenlaw, colored, said to
be from Clarksburg, is in the
Moundsyille Jail charged with an at
tempt to criminally assault Florence
Hickman, of MoundsFille, aged Is
years, about Q O'Clock Friday night.
Two hours later he was in Jail.
The negro was met ON the street
by an officer who asked him what he
was doing without a hat.
'1t blew OF on train from
Clarksburg." replied the negro.
Officer Cunningham was suspic-
ions of the negro's actions, but walk
ed on. A short time later Walter
Hendricks and Gano boy accosted
him and told him that a negro had
attempted assault upon a Young girl
a short distance below. They de-
scribed him as wearing no bat and
presenting a muddy, disreputable ap-
pearance. Officer Cunningham ran
toward the pl1ce he had seen the
negro, but could see no trace Of him.
He saw a street car passing above at
the time and supposed that the negro
had made his escape in that way.
The officer Immediately notified the
Glendale, McMechen, Benwood and
Wheeling authorities by phone to be
on the lookout for the car.
Officer Logsden, Of McMechen,
watched for the car, and with his
assistants arrested the negro at the
point Of a revolver near the mayors
Office. They took him off the car
Nnd took him to Moundsville, where

SELLING
BOOZE

Councilman Charles Stozenfel.,
Grafton merchant and large proper
ty owner, was arrested Friday even
ing in Grafton by United States
Deputy Marshal b. d, Hupp and
brought before United States Com
missioner Thomas s. Spates here the
same evening. He was given a
hearing on the charge of selling
liquors without government license
and held in bond of $500 for the
Wheeling grand jury. He gave the
bond and was released from custody.
Stozenfelt was a candidate last
year for council in his town and his
political belief was that the town
should be "wet," but it went ''dry''
but was not so with him. He
appears to have determined to carry
out his idea that the people of that
place ought to have something to-
drink, if they wanted it, and when
ever they wanted it. To that end
lit seems he worked a clever device
by selling small bottles of whiskey
encased in soap. He followed it up.
quite awhile but got caught finally.
He was reported to Officer Hupp and
he created quite a commotion, when
he swooped down on the unsuspect-
ing merchant and arrested him.
