ANMURDERER SAYS HE HAD A
 TRANSFORM
Committed Crime In Arizona and Will Be Brought Back
 From New Mexico for Trial. Is Well Off,

GALLUP, N. Nj, May 29.-Cho-gi- ney, Navajo Indian, was taken through, here this week en route to St. Johns, Apache county, Ariz.. where he will be tried for the murder of his wife, Che-yazz-bi-tsi, near Fort De- fiance, several days ago. The Indian was given hearing before Justice of the Peace Day at St. Miehaels and bound over for murder.
 The most curious feature of the case is that the Nayajo's counsel, At torney Donigan, will plead in extenua- tion of the crime that his client was suffering from a brain storm when he killed his wife. The killing was an especially brutal one, the indian de- liberately entering his hogan and beat. ing his wife's head to a pulp with a fourteen pound jagged rock. The murder is one of several that have occurred on or near the reser- vation in the last few months as re- suit of Indian superstition.
 Cho-gi-ney is a well tos do Indian. as Indians go, and it is known that he was fond of his squaw. It is be- lieved that he thought he was going to die and killed his wife so that she would be with him in the next world.
 Cho-gi-ney had been told by some of the women and medicine men uI the tribe that he was possessed of devils. 4 grand dance and weird re- hgious ceremony was held Uy ile medicine men and others with the o5- lect of casting out the evil spirits. Cho-gi-ney's face was blacked, and numerous mysterious incantations were gone through with. It was be- iieYed that the devils were almost out of his system when Cho-gi-ney loud ly asserted that he wanted to ale ana left the scene of the exorcism. He went to his hogan, from which blood curdling screams came forth, and the other Indians running to the abode of Cho-gi-ney, found his wife weltering in her blood with brains spattered all over the place.
 The Indians arrest soon followed Indian Commissioner Leupp. who was at Fort Defiance at the time, took particular interest in the case and ap- pointed Attorney Lonigan to defend the man on the plea that he was tenn porarily insane as the result of relig- ious frenzy.
 Not long ago the superstition of the Indians resulted in the death of an in- nocent woman who was denounced as with and who was brutally mur- dered

OHIO HEN HAS BAD
 CASE OF TRANSFORM
Said to Lay Eggs with Printed Words In the Shells From
 Newspapers,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 29.-At Conneaut, Ohio. phenomenal hen has, from entirely veracious accounts, laid an egg with several words print ed in newspaper type on the inside of the shell.
 A Cleveland medical authority inti- mates that the Conneaut phenomenon has been noted in several European universities, and is entirely possible, according to advanced materia med ica. Therefore hen raisers may rest assured that if they open their break fast eggs any morning to discover that their fayorite journals have in vaded new field it will not be en- tirely a novelty.
 The Conneaut hen is owned by Mrs. Vera Benjamin, who was smelling a hard boiled egg when she found the words ''2 weekly Gazette" clearly printed on the inside of the shell.
 The dispatches say it had all the resemblance of coming from a news paper story"
 Now this is entirely reasonable, thinks pr. Martin Frederick, city health officer. He backs himself up with the staff of the University of Munich.
 When went to school there" he said, ''the so-calied psychological fac tor in heredity was being examined minutely.
 'T don't care to stand responsible myself for an absolute statement that a Conneaut hen, or any other brand of hen, for that matter, would be apt to take a mental impression from a scrap of paper in her nest and trans fer it to the inside of the egg she laid, but that very process might have been followed"

ENGINEERS MN IN
 FIGHT Oh COLORADO
Diversion of Water One of the Greatest FeatS Yet
 Recorded.

FL PASO, May 2S.-Doctor A. l.. Leeds, government Indian agent in charge of the Indians working on the leyee construction of the Salton sea- is in town on his was to his home iil Michigan City, Ind Dr. Leeds us... been stationed at the scene of opera ton of the Colorado river closure since the first work was commenced on the project that E. H. Hartman says he considers the greatest achievement of his career.
 In the plan of diversion it was nee essary to construct miles of earth leyees to prevent the shifting Cobra do from finding another pathway TO the Salton sink. These levees had to be constructed through the desert or Mexican California, where no man had ever gone before and where the rank growth of underbrush and will lows was so thick that it was impos sibie to go through it without the aid of an ax.
 To construct the levee it was nec- essary to remove all of this under brush and grub out the roots to pre- vent sepage. How this could be done in country entirely without popula- tion and in a season when the heat or the sun made day work almost i'm possible, was a problem.
 The first attempt at the solution of this first and most important problem was to import Mexican peons from the City Of Mexico, who were acclimated 10 the tropical sun. A car loau ol these men were brought through Fl Paso in bond and were taken to the scene of operations by Immigration Inspector Bryan of the local office. This venture proved a failure as the Mexlcans were not strong enough to stand the hard work of brush cutting Tn the summer sun. They only stayed two days when they all left.
 The Randolph engineers who had charge Of the work went into copsuira. ton with Charles Dagenett. goyern- ment Indian agent for the southwest lie IS the originator of the pIan of .he government securing the redu;en to work on construction enterprises ana allowing the Indians to draw cneIr own money and spend it as they Wlsned. This proved the solution of the difficulty and over 200 braves rom the. southwestern tribes were employed during the past year.
 Dr. Leeds says that the turning of the Colorado has been an entire sue cess and with the completion of the leVees now in course of construction there will be no more danger from the runaway river.

OKLAHOMA COURT ID
 PROBE CONSTITUTION
Four Cases Will Be Considered at Session to Be Held
 on June 4.

GUTHRIE. Ok, May 29.-When the Oklahoma Supreme Court meets here June f, -it will have at least four cases before it involving the legality of the Constitutional conventions acts. The two cases involving Woods and Greer counties have been appeal ed from the District Court of Logan county. and an appeal is being pre- pared in the Woods county case, heard before Judge Pancoast at Ava.
 In addition to these an original case involving the destruction of Day county was filed in the Supreme court this week by Horace Speed. former United States District Attorney, who is now of counsel in all the pending cases involving the work of the con- yentiOn,
 The Greer county case was first brought as an original proceeding in the Supreme Court, and the court de- cided at that time that it had no original Jurisdiction in injunction cases now say that another Justice has come over to their way of think ing, and that when the matter comes before the court again it will be de- cided by a vote of four to three that the court has Jurisdiction. It was on account of this belief that the new original case was instituted in the Supreme court, as a further proceed ing of that sort would of course be useless if the court maintained its former position on the subject. The attorneys were also desirous of having at least one case in which the whole court would sit, as Justice Pancoast will of course be disqualified in the case which was tried before him last week. and Chief Justice Burford in the cases tried in this county.
 Woodward county will be the next enc to take its case into the courts and Attorney Horace Speed will rep resent the objectoTs in that case, as in the other county division suits.
 So far there has been no especial re- sponse in this vicinity to President Murray's appeal to the people for funds with which to pay stenosrapner and clerk hire and to pay for the ex- penses of an election, if one is held under his proclamation. In the same connection considerable interest has been manifested here in regard to the results accomplished by the finance committee appointed by the conven- tAOn JuSL bGiOIt llS TUT the same purpose. That committee was composed of Frank Gault, or Geary. Ed F. Johns, of Chickasha, and C. L. ong, of Wewoka, and was sup posed to get busy immediately in raising funds by donation, loan or otherwise, but if it has ever done any thing of the sort nothing has ever been said about it.
 Considerable doubt is also express ed here as to whether Judge Sulz- 6aeher or Judge Dickerson would serve on Murray's ''non-partisan" election board. which he proposes to name if he issues the prociamarlon for an election himself Both of them have expressed themselves favprably to the constitution, but would prOba- biy insist on some regard for legal procedure.
 Murray says that he expects to call the election by June 6, which is the limit under the Oklahoma law, if the election Is to be held on August 6 and apparently intends to disregard the Oklahoma courts.

BLAMES WIRES fOR DEATH IF
 EAGLES
Sioux Indian Weeps As He Declares Wires Killed Hun dreds of the Birds, Flying Against Them.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Eagies and telegraph wires don't agree. And, as the wires can not fly away, the eagles do, hence eagle feathers are at a premium among the Sioux braves of the wild West and the Wild West Show.
 This developed when Big Chief Iron Tail in a reminiscent mood stalked ialo Colonel William F. Cody's private z3<Liz Adlsen Square garden, and through chief fzEsaf1unzE'sss1e rreter. lanented the lscS of eagle piusnes among the Indians in the show the telegraph wires on the reserva- tions that drove away the eagles, and finally warmed up to his boyhood days, when eagle feathers were given away free to all the young braves of the tribes.
 Iron Tail informed the reporter that eagle feathers among the Sioux cost heap much wampum, and were hard to get" And then Colonel Cody broke in and explained the situation
 He said that ever since the govern ment strung telegraph wires across the continent the American eagles had steered clear of the regions in which the wires were placed.
 When the wires were first put up,'' said the colonel, q have seen hun dreds of dead birds, many of them eagles, lying along the lines. In d days horseback ride I have counted over 100 dead eagles. They flew against the wires and were killed.
 The eagles seemed to suffer most in this respect. But the eagle is a wary old chap, and finally he got wise to the wires and kept away
 There is a tradition among the Sioux which allows them 10. wear nothing but eagle feathers in their headdress. After the telegraph lines had been in operation for while there came a scarcity of eagles. The braves no longer found them in their accustomed places along ithe base of the mountains and in the foothills.
 When the Indians went to look for feathers they were obliged to go up into the mountains, where the eagles had sought shelter. Like the other in- yentions of civilization which drove the game into the mountains, the tele- graph wires had driven the eagles.
Bisbee daily review., 1907-05-30

Naturally, the Indians did not like wires, but they were up against it. Eagle feathers became scarce and were a great luxury. They brought high prices, and every year the Sioux find it harder to get themr
 Then Iron Tail explained to the re- porter the method the Indians used to obtain the precious plumes He said what translated into modern Eng fish was about as follows:
 ''The eagles are to be found only on the most rugged crags of the mountains. To catch the eagles the Sioux braves go to the crags and set traps baited with dead rabbits on moonlight nights. The eagle smell the blood and descends on the bait and are caught in the traps.
 Eagle plumes cost much money among the Indians. The Indians al ways set the traps at night, TOT if they are set in the daytime the eagles suspect a ruse and do not go near them"
 Iron Tail said that the Indians often went miles into the mountains to catch eagles. the feathers of which are prized most highly of all the red mans possessions.
 All the feathers worn by the In- dians in the Wild West show are brought from the Western reserya- tions. The big braves in the show are lamenting the inpossibility of getting them here, and Iron Tail al most wept when he told of the heap much eagle feathers of the Sioux in days gone by
 And the passing of the eagle is sko1..sss -fire same as the passing or the big game ofsour country" said Colonel Cody. ''They will soon become little more than memory. Civilization is driving the animals and birds into the widest regions, where they are dying in countless numbers.
 ''En 1866 General sherman, who was then stationed on the great plains west of the Missouri. estimated the number of buffaloes roaming the prai- ries at 9,5O0,OOO.
 'No foe was formidable enough to oppose them; none dared stand in their way Occasionally bands of In- dians swooped down upon few strag- glers on their Hanks, but the loss un such occasions was too small to be noticed.
 And then came the cry for horns and hides from the Eastern states. White men armed with deadly rifles, invaded the realms of the buffalo to deal destruction. The first buffalo hunters were few in number They shot down the monarch of the prai- ries, took his hide and horns and left his body to rot or become the food of wolves.
 But the demand for buffalo hides increased. Prices went up and the number of hunters steadily increased until hide and horn hunting became a profession. And then began the ter rible slaughter that exterminated our country's greatest game animal
