White CAPTIVE GETS
LAND AS AN indian

MUSKOGEE, |. T.. May 15.-Her-
man Lehman, white man nearly
80 years old, living at Indanhoma,
is securing an allotment of Indian
land on the ground that he was
long ago formally adopted into the
Apache and Comanche tribes.
Lehman was captured when
about II years old by Apaches.
While playing on his mothers farm
in Texas with his brothers and
sisters the redskins surrounded him
and bore him away on horseback
For long years they kept him an
absolute captive.
Occasionally articles of one sort
and another which he recognized
as having come from his old home
were brought into the Indian camp
where he was captive, and he was
led to believe that his widowed
mother and the other members of
his family had been murdered.
Gradually he learned the Ian
guage. customs and religion OF the
Apaches and Comanches, and from
his own words 1t Is judged that he
became fairly we'll satisfied with
the wild, irresponsible life which
he led. His captivity extended over
a period OF time when the HOSTILE
ties between the whites and In.
dams on the southwestern frontier

were especially severe.
Notwithstanding his attachments
for the Indians, ON occasions In
time of battle with the whites he
attempted to escape from his cap
tors. uBt each time he was found
and brought back and tortured. In
the battle of Yellow Wolf plains in
the latter '70s, fought In the west
ern part of Texas, he saw the most
desperate of all the encounters he
ever had experienced. The white
commander was killed and the
horse ridden by the young white
captive, who was compelled to fight
with the savages, was shot under
him, the rider receiving a bullet
in one leg.
After long years of perseverance,
the grieving mother of the child
somehow came to believe that her
child was still living with his In
dian captors. She communicated
with army officers and they began
negotiations for the surrender of
the boy. Eventually the soldiers
from Fort Still. |. r.. came out and
held parley with Quanah Parker.
the noted Comanche chieftain, and
succeeded in inducing the Indians
To give up the captive. Thus, after
long years, mother and son were re-
united.

RESORT
FEELS SECURE

Since the publication in The
Press of the expose of the disre-
putable dance given at Minnehaha
park Sunday night under the man
agement of Pete Gouyet. informa-
ton has been received of an even
more disgraceful affair given a few
days before. A colored club gave
a picnic which lasted most of the
day. Towards evening the respect
able colored people left for their
homes, and word was sent around
to the colored men to stay for the
dance. when there would be some
thing doing" The dance was ar
ranged for beforehand. Towards
midnight it developed into a drunk
en- revel with negroes dancing with
white women.
Prosecutor Barnhart and Sheriff
Doak have as yet taken no action
to put stop to the disgraceful per-
formances. Pete Gouyet, the lessee
of the park, in intrenched out there
with perhaps ~ other Frenchmen.
All are wanted by the city police,
but are beyond jurisdiction on ac-
count of being out of the city limits.
Gouyet is wanted on a charge of

block on Front av. He openly
claims that he has no fear of ar
rest so long as he remains at the

about than anybody. He has a large
law practice, is special counsel for
the state in the Haywood case,
counsel for the defendants in some
land fraud cases set for trial in the
northern part of the state this
month, and, 1t has been reported, a
grand jury has voted an indictment
against him on account of some al
legged government land irregulari-
ties.
No official announcement of such
an indictment has been made, but
>Borah, the United States district at
torney and the federal judge have
recently visited the president for
the discussion Of that subject.
Charges were made at the White
House that the district attorney did
not like Borah and nd promoted in
dictment proceedings against him
as a favor to the Western Fedora
ton of Miners, of which w. ID. Hay
wood is secretary. That charge has
not taken root hereabouts and prob
ably not at Washington.
Withal he's not prey to worry.
A call at his office disclosed him in
a room lined from floor to ceiling
with law books, shaping up authori-
ties for the Haywood case. When |
asked him as to the status of the
trial he said:

NEW YORK, May 15.-The Eve
ming Telegram today published
what it says is an abstract of the
findings of the interstate commerce
commission as result of the inves-
tigation of the Hartman roads. The
telegram calls the report the most
sensational the commission ever is
sued.
The commission found railroad
competition chOked off entirely in
an area equal to one-third of the
United States: that in thes area
Hartman was absolute master;
that Harrimans contracts with the
Rock Island, Southern Pacific, San
ia Fee, Illinois Central and San
Pedro roads are violations of the
antitrust acts. The commission
recommends that the attorney gen.
eral proceed against them. The
purchase of shares of one road by
another is called bad practice that
should be stopped. Profits of the
roads of the west are being used to
buy stock and control systems in
the east instead Of developing the

SCARCE HERE

The Japanese-Korean league OF

cation to the Central Labor union
asking information as to conditions
in this city. The subject has been
made a special order for next Mon
day night.
Local union men report condi-
tons as regards employment of
Asiatics in this city exceptionally
good. Spokane people as a whole
are not In favor Of this class Of Ia
Dor, as 1t displaces white labor and
the emrchants and manufactu

Another reason for the employ
ment of white labor is that local
labor is well organized and the well
known antipathy to Japanese or
Chinese labor serves as a restraint
on local business establishments in
clined to employ them.

Readers of The Press remember

and they were repeated in England.

of her friends had left it there, and
thinking no more about 1t opened 1t
and ate several pieces.

a few minutes Miss Walsh became
i'll and retired to her room. Her
condition became rapidly worse and
