The Richest Indian.

Push-me-ta-ha, former chief of
the Osages, is said to be the richest
Indian in the world. His wealth
is estimated at $2,O0O,00O and that
of his entire family, consisting, be-
sides himself, of three wives and
seventeen children, at $10,000,000.

the result of the discovery of oil
and gas on their lands. The old
chiefs monthly income from oil and
gas royalties alone is $4,000. He
lives in miserable log hut eight
cen miles from Tulsa, I. T., and de-
rives no real benefit from his large

A marvel of surgery was shown to
the French Academy of Medicine by
DR.. Delair recently. A patient had
lost his chin, part of his lower jaw,
his lip, a portion of his tongue and
his nose owing to the explosion OF
a gun which he was firing. An ap-
paratus in four pieces has been
made for him, which makes all
trace of his loss practically invisi-
BILE. The chin and lower lip, with
a false beard on them, are made of
soft india rubber, the necessary
teeth, nose and jaw have been sup

remove and replace the apparatus,
which weighs only trife.

WAS A LONG Term
District Court Adjourned Sat-
urday After I Weeks.
DARKNELL GETS DAMAGES
Last Jury Case Was Decided
Saturday Morning.

After a seven weeks term, the
district court for kootenai was ad
Journed at I2 o'clock Saturda,
noon, March Fl, and Judge Woods
departed for Wallace to convene
the spring term on March 23 fol
Shoshone county.
The last case tried at the term
just ended was the condemnation
suit of the Chicago Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway company versus
A. A. Darknell, ct al. This trial
was begun on Monnay and con-
cluded at S O'Clock Saturday
morning, the jury having been out
all night considering its verdict.
The jury awarded damages to Mr..
Darknell and all the other defend
ants associated with him. The
land belonging to Arthur c. Dark
nell and Alice c. Darknell, his
wife, the jury decided to be worth
$500 and their estate $1,000. while
the railroad would cause damages
amounting to $525. Land sought
to be condemned owned by Phelps,
Rutter and Davis was valued at
$3.50 and damages were fixed at
$500, while the estate of Mr.. and
Mrs. Phelps was decided to be
worth $500 and would be dam.
aged to the extent of $500.
Thomas P. Campbell and Hettie
Campbell, his wife, were awarded
$3.50 damages besides $17o, cost
of fences which the building of the
railroad would necessitate. The
jury fixed the value of their land,
sought to be condemned, at $125o.
Judge Woods discharged the
jury for the term and, after making
few orders, adjourned court. 1t
was one of the longest terms of the
district court ever held in Rath-
drum, but the greater part was
taken up in the trial of two cases,
the right of way condemnation
suits of the Idaho & Northwestern
and the c. M. & St. Paul railroads
which altogether consumed about
four out of the seven weeks court
was in session. In the meantime
there was no diminution of new
court cases, about 40 suits having
been filed since February1. There
was large calendar when court
convened and the docket has
grown faster than it could be dis.
posed of, SO that large number OF
cases have necessarily been con-
tinued until the fall term which
convenes on September 1.
During the term Judge Woods
admitted seven persons to citizen
ship: John Beato, Louis Mason,
Duncan Mclean, Thomas Conlan,
Ole Gilbert, Alfred Knutsen and
Chas. Carlson. The application
of Andrew Norseth was dismissed
because one of his witnesses was
not citizen at the time the
application was filed, and the ap.
plication of Henry Gustofson was
ordered continued for hearing a,
the next term of court. Judge
Woods made an order that the
third Saturday of each term o.
court shall be designated as a day
upon which petitions for natural
ization of citizens will be acted
upon.
Hamilton R. Johnstone, attor
, ney of St. Joe, was admitted te
practice as an attorney at law ir
