CRAVE OF
BIC CHIEF
YOUNG RELATIVES OF LARAMIE
MAN UNCOVER BONES OF IN
DIAN OF PROMINENCE.
Had e Buried on Top Of Fremont
Butte, Near Boulder, Wyoming,
Wearing Necklace Of Elks' Teeth
and Ornaments Of Beads, Brass
and Eagles Feathers.

Engineer James King, IT., and Frank
Coomes, who have been in Fremont
county for several weeks, looking af-
ter their interests there, returned yes
terday afternoon. They had an enjoy.
able trip, a pleasant visit with Mr..
Kings brothers, Tom and Dick King,
and their families, and tell remarkable
stories Of the prosperous condition of
the country in that section.
Grave of Great Chief.
Mr.. King brought with him a lot of
elk teeth, an old army bayonet, beads
and other Indian trinkets, and tells
of the children of his brother finding
the grave OF what had no doubt been
a very important Indian chief in his
day, a man of some consequence and
with whose body vas buried many of
the things hal made him great on
earth and were calculated to see that
he had a real nice berth in the happy
hunting ground Of the truly great In
dams.
Found BY Children.
Inc children were playing or the
top OF Fremont butte, near Boulder,
Wyo., about a mile from their home,
when they discovered this grave. They
began work and noon had the stone re-
moved that hid the body of the chief.
The skull OF the Indian was found per-
fectly preserved. with no evidence
that death had been caused by a blow
on the head. Other bones Of the for
gotten warrior were not SO well pro-
served.
Necklace for Warrior.
The elk teeth had no doubt formed
gorGeoQs necklace about the throat
Of the chief. There were 1Sl al told.

smaller end, through which a string
of some sort had been run to form
the necklace, but the string, perhaps
the tendon Of an animal or a bit OF
leather thong, had rotted away and
the teeth were lying about the base
of the skull. These teeth are well
preserved, some Of them brown with
age and others tinted with green. They
are both large and small in size, some
Of the smaller ones being perfect in
shape and brilliant in coloring. They
are easily worth $1,000, and as they
violate no game law in their accumu-
lation, members Of the Benevolent and
Protective Order Of Elks will not vio-
late their consciences in wearing them.
Teeth Commemorate Events.
In one Of the largest teeth had been
fled in some manner unknown a large
number of notches, ~signifying some
events in the life of the chief not read
able to the ordinary mortal. One tooth
contained more than a score Of these
marks, another having only four or
five, but both specimens showing that
they commemorated some important
event. Another tooth has the rough
representation of an Indian tepee carv-
ed On its smooth surface.
Trinkets Found.
The children found the beads in the
Indians grave along with the elk
teeth. There were fully a thousand Of
these, OF various shapes. They had
been worn on a thong Of some kind
as ornaments for the person of this
important warrior. In the grave were
found bits OF eagle feathers that had
been cut into fantastic shapes. Hard
ened copper wire, highly polished,
was found that had formed a wristlet
for the chief. Shields of metal to COW
err a portion of each arm were also
found. worn. it is believed. as orna-
ments to indicate rank. The grave was
filed with these trinkets, telling the
story Of the greatness of the monarch
of the plain who slept his last sleep
on the summit of the butte beneath the
enduring monument Of stone.
Army Bayonet.
Not far away from the grave the
children of Mr.. King found an old
bayonet Of the pattern used by the sol
diers of the United Sraues army many
years ago, in the era Of the Civil war.
Mr.. King believes a battle occurred on
or near the buttes and that the bayo-
net had belonged to a soldier whose
body was left to be deyoured by wild
beasts. Other evidences Of the battle
are near at hand.
Teeth to Be Sold.
Mr.. King left with his brothers at
Boulder a number OF the trinkets, but
has the teeth and many Of the beads
here to be displayed in Carriers win
dow. He will dispose Of the teeth as
he can, and hopes to realize a good
sum. which will be used for the bene-
fit of the children who discovered the
grave.

Paris, Mo-, Oct. 10.-Bryan in a
speech here today addressed a large
audience of farmers. He referred to
a press dispatch that a Pennsylvania
manufacturer Of separators had given
his employees to understand that the
factory would close if Bryan was
elected.
Tries to Grow Funny.
Bryan said this was serious, for 1t
would be discouraging if the COWS

his election. But the firm may have
been manufacturing a kind of separa-
tor that has given cream to the
monopolies and skinned milk to the
people.

He said 1t was possible that that
kind OF a separator will find its &C.

Ledbetter Leases Landing.

F. w. Ledbetter arrived yester-
day from Portland as he had indi-
Gated in his telegram to the Com
mercial Club he would and in COM
pany with President Geo. F. Rich
ardson and the Ways and Means
Committee went over the boat
landing proposition thoroughly and
at the conclusion of a strenuous
session Mr.. Ledbetter closed up
lease for the tract of land and the
boat landing for a period of ten
years. Mr.. Ledbetter also inform
ed the delegation that he would not
fight the condemnation proceedings
instituted by the Board of County
Commissioners for a road along the
west line of this tract leading direct
to the river. At this point where
the road reaches the river bank the
boat landing and wharf sheds are
to be placed and a strip along the
river bank 80 feet wide and 4SO
feet long is placed at the disposal
of the Club for a period of ten years
for these purposes. Securing this
lease brings to successful close a
campaign carried on by the Club
for months and which has required
lot of correspondence and includ-
ed sending a committee to Portland
to negotiate with Mr.. Ledbetter. 1t
opens the way for big increase in
the volume of Kennewick incoming
and outgoing shipments by water.
The next step is to secure a spur
leading to the brick yard and the
boat landing.

A Native Story Of the Power of the

From New Zealand comes the follow

was witness of the following incl

tribe of the district of Rotorua, being
at war; had suffered defeat, and one
of their braves had been brought home
dead. The vanquished sought at oncs
to find out by some omen connected
with the dead chief whether they
would be successful in their next en-
counter. The tohunga was requested
to procure the desired omen, the peo

was observed to move slightly to one
side, on which great cry of joy rose
from the people. The movement was
