MONUMENT TO WAHCAHUNKA.
Tribesmen Will Raise Funds to Honor
Memory of Indian

An unusual mark of respect is to be
pand to the memory of John Wahca-
hunka, venerable member of the
Yankton tribe of Sioux Indians, who
died fe wdays ago at the age of 81. A
monument is to be erected to his men,
ory by members Of his tribe. Wahca-
hunka will be one of the few Indians
in the United States to have monu-
ment erected to his memory with funds
raised by voluntary subscription
among his tribesmen.
The movement for the erection of
the monument has been inaugurated
by members of the Indian Christian!
Brotherhood union, which is composed
of Indians belonging to the YanktonI
tribe of Sioux Indians, and which isl
the only organization of its kind .com-I
posed of Indians in the United States.
Funds for the erection of the proposed
monument now are being raised byl
members of the brotherhood.
The dead Indian was the leader Of
the progressive element of his tribe
and for years labored increasingly with
view to improving the condition OF
his brethren and make them self-sup-.
porting. -.

BOMBS THROWN AT THE SHAH.
An Attempt Made to XIII the Ruler
Of Persia

An Attempt Made to XIII the Ruler
OF Persia,
An attempt was made in Teherar.
Persia. Friday afternoon to assassin
ate the shah Of Persia by a bomb. His
majesty was not hurt. Three outrid-
ers, who were accompanying him at
the time, were killed. s-s
The shah owes his escape to the pre-
cautions taken to protect him from
just such an. attempt as was made
Friday afternoon. He was on his way
to a nearby town, where he intended
to pass a few days. The procession
had left the palace and was traversing
a narrow street when two bombs were
hurled down at 1t from the roof Of q
house. One exploded in the air, but
the other struck the ground near the
shah's automobile. This. missile, in
exploding, killed three outriders,
wounded the chauffeur and a score
or bystanders, and shattered the vehi-
Gle.
The shah. however. was not in his
automobile. He had taken the. pre-
caution to send the motor car ahead
and ride himself I'm carriage farther
In the rear of the procession, The
motor car was a closed ono. and AZ
was thought the sovereign was inside.

at Colorado Springs, contained proof
that men In six cities In the United

Friday charged with being chief Of

up for being implicated as members
Of the society. The police Of New York
and Pittsburg say they have evidence
which connects these men with the
killing of Father Leo.
Arrests have been made in four 9TH

those cities are shadowing other men
no information is given out as to who
the arrested men are.
Chief Delaney said Friday that he
was not sure whether Alio was merely

which he said all of these men belong

STRANGE CASE IN HOSPITAL,

Two Weeks. a p


Two Weeks. .-a
Passing suddenly from apparently
robust health into a sleep that lasted
over two weeks, Wallis Ella, an Italian
laborer, proved a most interesting sub
ject for the physicians at st. Joseph's
hospital at Deadwood. who declare
him to be the most remarkable patient
they have ever had.
Ella was a railroad laborer at Rapid
City and was employed at the time
that the sleep came upon him. He
was carefully worked over by his COM
panions, who succeeded for. days IN
partially waking him sufficient to give
him nourishment, but for nearly q
week past il has been necessary for
the physician to force liquid nourish-
ment into his system by means of a
syringe. Ella had no accident or sick
ness, and an examination reveals the
presence of no blood clot or other dis
turbing factor, so that his sudden sleep
remains unexplained.
After sixteen days of continuous
sleep Wallis Ella died at st. Josephis
hospital Thursday without having re-
gained consciousness. Physicians
were unable to learn what caused his
