PATH FINDING BY INSTINCT.
Remarkable Sense Displayed by Black
foot Halfbreed Scout.

That the true scout is both born
and made is the argument of writer
in the London Times, who says: He
has, for example, the capacity of re-
membering everything he sees on a
journey-the same capacity which
was possessed by Capt. Cook, the fam
Gus circumnavigator, who would take
walk through the streets of London
and remember all the names above all
the many shops he passed without
the least consciousness of effort Sim
ilarly red Indian who takes jour
passes-every tree, open space, stream
ON the whole length off the trail.
In some cases an even more remark
able instinct for path finding is re-
vealed. Thus Col. S. B. Steele, who
commanded Strathcona's Horse in
South Africa and has known all the
famous western scouts and prairie de-
tectives, once told me that a Black
foot half-breed employed years ago
by the Northwest mounted police was
the best guide he had ever met, pos
sessing, as he did, an almost uncanny
sense of locality and direction.
Others could guide travellers
through country they had visited be-
fore. But this man, who was made
chief of his nation or tribe, could
take party from place to place by
the quickest route, through country

FORMER BARBER HERE
CHARGED WITH MURDER
Dick Eagle. Who Conducted a Shop
ON South Second Street, Is Hunt
ed In Maiapi Hills.

Dick Eagle, the half-breed Chero-
kee Indian, charged with murder, and
who is being searched for in the mall
api covered hills in the vicinity of
Grants, n. NJ, formerly lived in this
city and conducted a barber shop in
the 800 block on South Second street.
He was considered by the local au-
thorities as not being very bright. The
news, which reached here Saturday
night, that he was wanted for murder
was not received with much surprise.
Several years ago Eagle created a
mild sensation in this city by an
nouncing that he knew where the no.
toriOus outlaw, Black Jack. had hid
den his treasure, but the authorities
never took him seriously.
The details OF the killing at Tho
reau of Santiago Vallo and the cap
ture Of Eagle after the shooting, and
his escape later, have not been re-
ceived here.

ASK RECEIVER FOR
AUTOMOBILE LINE
Suit Is Filed I'm District Court by
Stockholders of Albuquerque
Estancia Enterprise.

A petition has been filed In the Ber-
nalillo county district court asking
for a receiver for the Estancia Auto
mobile company. Attorney Frank
Ackerman appeared for the petition
ers, Duncan and Angus McGillivray,
who are among the heaviest stock
holders of the company.
The petitioners allege that the busi-
ness of the company is not being
properly handled and that 1t is a los
ing proposition. and that under ex-
isting conditions could not be made
to pay.
On April 4 the stockh olders held q
meeting at Estancia. the eastern ter
minal of the CON pany's overland line,
and voted to dissolve the corporation.
The company had run in deot to a
considerable extent and the stock
holders voted that this Indebtedness
be prorated and paid. The suit filed
today was to place the settlement Of
the business in the hands OF the
court.
According to Frank Alderman, at
torney for the petitioners, the COM
pany will pay all its obligations dol
lar for dollar. including all the tickets
which were subscribed for by Albu-
querque people.
When the company was incorporat-
ed a year ago, the plan of an auto
mobile service of few hours between
Albuquerque and Estancia, on the
eastern side of the Manzano noun
tains, looked quite feasible and prom
ised to pay dividends on the inyest-
ment large number ~ nersons in
Albuquerque bought tickets In ad-
vance of the Inauguration of the SER
vice. Several large machines were
purchased and considerable money
was spent in making roads. AT the
start the business looked like a good
proposition, out the inauguration of
train service on the Santa Fe cutoff
took away a large share of the pat
ronage the company had depended
upon.

Private advices received by The
