ampton, England. His picture appear
ed in one of the Des Moines papers
last week, and he looks the same as of
old-the Indian profile and the long
hair. The picture reminded us of this
story: One time fifteen or twenty
years ago, when Mr. Swain was edi-
tor and publisher of the Oskaloosa
Herald,he accumulated small amount
of cash and a few railroad passes and
started out on a trip to the Great
Southwest. When passing through
the Territory" he stopped at Musko-
gee for dinner, and when in getting on
the train again he was arrested by a
United States marshal for "a chief of
the Cherokees" trying to escape from
the reservation, and the story goes
that it took the united efforts of Mrs.
Swain and the conductor of the train
to convince the marshal that he was
not the Indian in question, but fu-
ture prominent American diplomat.
