much TO cement that friendship into

the relations OF the two countries in.
formally are being discussed in var
ious quarters, was most significant
and apparently was highly appreciat-
ed by the Mexican guests on board |
the Minnesota. Admirals Sperry and
Emory were among the American |
guests Gov Sanguinez also was |
very happy in his remark. declaring
ne believed that Mexico and the u. S.
iad been brought nearer together

he friendship existing between Pres
dent Diaz and President Roosevelt.

One Good Indian Left Behind.

Wednesday about noon one of the
Ute Indians was taken suddenly sick
while on the street near the Union
depot and seemed to be suffering
terribly. DR.. Jennings was called and
gave the fellow hypodermic injection
of something to act as an emetic and
left, thinking his condition was not
serious and that he would soon be all
right. We understand that he had
some of his Indian friends trounce
upon his stomach and that possibly
fastened his death. At any rate he
only lived few minutes after DR..
Jennings left him. 1t is reported that
the Indian told some of his tribe that
some medicine was put upon some
bread that he had eaten and giving
the inference that he had been poison.
ed, but that certainly could not be
possible-not that he was Intentionally
poisoned. He had been eating and
drinking lot of stuff, however, about
town and no doubt the combination
caused his sickness and then the
Indian method of jumping up and
down on his stomach to force it out of
him would surely kill a white man.
Coroner Joyce and the indian friends
of the dead Indian took the body in
charge and buried it in the cemetery.
He was "a years of age although
robust and rugged old fellow.

day and discovered that he had left his
keys at home The superintendent of
the building let the absentminded man
into his Office, but he was still as bad
of as ever. He could not get into his

tie while over his dilemma; then he
I decided to return home for the keys.
assWhy not send a messenger boy after

UTE INDIANS GOING HOME.
Five Hundred Enroute to Utah-Spend
Day Here.

a Day Here.
Tuesday noon the band of 500 Ute
Indians who have spent the past year
In this state, arrived here and camped
just north of town, in charge Of Capt.
johnson, U. s. A. and troop of the
second cavalry. They are starting
on their thousand mile journey over
land to their reservation in Utah.
{ It. is estimated the trip will take over
three months, but the Indians seem
glad to be going back to the land they
deserted three years ago in the hope of
finding land of plenty. After leav
ing Utah the Utes wandered east and
were coralled over in Wyoming and
brought to Ft. Meade and later taken
to Cheyenne River Indian reservation.
The government leased land for them
there, but trouble ensued, calling for
troops in 1906 and 1907. Part of the
Indians we're taken to Rapid City un-
der guard last winter and the remain.
der came recently. Their wealth has
been depleted since leaving Utah
Then they had 1000 horses and 800 cat
tie, but now they have only 300 horses
and no cattle The government is ar
ranging to irrigate their lands in Utah
and make them good homes.

Wanted His Dues.

A reservation Indian was disconso-
late over the breaking of his ak handle.
He laid his misfortune before the
farmer" Of the reservation, who,
through pity, took new handle from
his private stock and adjusted 1t to the
AK. The farmer then noticed that the
ak was shockingly dull. So, motioning
the owner to turn the grindstone, he
expended half hours time in sharp
ening the blade. When the rehabili-
tated AK was given to the Indian ho
was childishly gleeful, but still fingered
about. indicating by his actions that
some feature of the transaction had nd
been adjusted.
The farmer was a little annoyed and
called to an interpreter. "Ask the old
fellow what he wants now" he d..
rected.
After an exchange Of grunts and ges-
lures the interpreter announced, "He
wants 2J cents''
twenty-five cents! What fort"
'For turning the grindstone." Har-

II, Other way.

There was a hopeful CLEAN in the
eyes Of the young man with slightly
retreating chin as he approached the
father of his ladyloye.
.Will you give your daughter to me
in marriage, sir?" he asked In as firm
tone as he could muster.
"I'm afraid you are not well enough
acquainted with her, young man." re-
marked the father.

for nearly year." said the astonishetl
