COLLEGE BOY WATERS
FLIRTED WITH GUESTS

Sayville, L. l., Aug. 14.-(SpeciaD
Because they if1irted with the young
women guests, preferred playing their
mandolins and guitars to working,
and monopoIized the coy hooks of
the verandas at all hours, a dozen col
lege students whom Proprietor j.
Davis Secor had employed as walters
ard helpers in the Elmore Hotel
here were dismissed by him last
night That is, Mr. Secor told them
to go, but the college youths insisted
that they be paid a full months
wages.
Well stay as guests and board
it out if you don't pay us in cash, +"
they threatened, and then they ga
thered on the lawn and gave a few
college yells.
But Constable Isaac Bedell was
equal to the emergency He swore
in Proprietor Secor as a deputy, and
then advanced on the cheerers, de-
claring:
Not much We won't stay here. III
give you just ten minutes to gather
up your guitars and fancy socks and
get out of this town.
The ex-waiters gave a few more
cheers and then they departed into
the night, while Proprietor Secor
called upon an emergency employment
agency and asked that dozen wait
ers be sent out forthwith. Accord
ing to Mr. Secor, his experiment with
the collegians was unsuccessful from
the very start.
The boys hadn't been in the hotel a
day before they waited more upon
the young women guests than they
did upon the table. They liked the
parlor better than the kitchen, and
preferred the sound of their own
voices, raised in college songs and
yells, to the clatter of dishes.
Breakfast this morning at the Ell
more was an event. There was no
ont to serve it until several young
women guests turned to and acted
as mattresses.

WIFE WOULD NOT SEW
BUTTONS ON TROUSERS

DIES MONIES. Ia, Aug. 14.-(Spe-
ciaD flames Brenton, mayor of Des
Monies from 1900 to 1904, and before
that county superintendent of schools
and prominent in church work, has
begun suit for divorce from his wife,
charging that she refuses to sew but
tons on his trousers and that she has
not prepared meal fit for him to eat
for several years.
He further alleges that after being
defeated for third term as mayor, and
when his financial position grew bad,
he wanted to keep a boarding house.
but his wife refused to take in board
ers and that he was obliged to rent
another house and hire a housekeeper
to take care of his boarders.

Governments Efforts Successful

According to information brought
back to Washington by Mr.. Russell,
the governments efforts have been
eminently successful, although at
tended with arduous work With the
assistance of thirty-nine deputy mar
shals, specially sworn in, upward of
1000 defendants have been brought
to court under subpoenas issued
through the Department of Justice,
and Mr.. Russell shortly will return
to Oklahoma to direct the trials. The
object of the government is either to
set aside the titles that have been
acquired or to compel those purchas-
ing before the restrictions were re-
moved to pay fair price for their
possessions and then have their tit
les made certain by legal decree.
The criminal cases that have been
developed have arisen through al
legged action in the way of dating
ahead deeds to land so as to get it
past the period of restriction ending
with the 9th of July Such cases
are not numerous, in comparison with
the total number of cases to which
the criminal law has not been applied,
but it is felt in Washington that the
trial of the latter suits will arouse
wide concern over the effort to gobble
all the unalienated realty of value
in the state, which has presented to
the rest of the country such teachings
of reform in constitutional and poll
teal doctrine

ALL THOSE THINGS
HE NEVER TRIED
New Highlander the Cham
piOn AbStainer.

Boston, Mass, Aug 14.-(Special)
Albert M. Cross of Gloucester. is
the champion er-did-anything"
man of New England
He has refrained from doing many
of the common things which in the
ordinary coures of life it is but nat
ural for most men to do
He has never ridden on an electric
car, steam train, bicycle, or automo-
bile never been aboard ship on the
water; never been to a theater, ath-
letic event, or entertainment of any
kind; never used tobacco in any form
or touched drop of intoxicating IL
quor; never went outside of Glou-
cester voluntarily; in fact, he has
failed to do SO many ordinary things
that he is a seven days wonder to
the natives of Gloucester and an OBJ
ject of interest to all the small boys
of the city.
II Cross broke the news of his total
abstinence to his friends last week
upon the occasion of his fifty-fifth
birthday. 1t was a proud day for
Gloucester's exceedingly abstemious
resident 1t was Well known that Mr.
Cross was not much of a hand at
going about taking in the sights and
having a high old time, but when he
reeled off long list of all the things
he never did they gasped in amaze
ment.
Cross record would have been
stronger were it not for the fact that
a horse which he was driving once
ran away and before the scared
animal could be stopped he had gone
beyond the confines of Gloucester, and
thus broken his drivers record of
never having been outside the city
Cross ascribes his record of never
having taken an electric or steam car
ride to his modesty. Somehow or
other the sight of an electric car or
steam train gives him a feeling of
aversion, and upon the rare occa-
sions when he might have been
tempted to jump aboard the electric
cars which go by his door his con-
science would not allow him

WON FAME BY
INDIAN TRIAL
Death of Gov. Lanham Re-
calls Massacre.

Fort Sill, Ok, Aug. 14-(SpeciaD -
The recent death of former Governor
Samuel w T. Lanham of Texas re-
calls the remarkable prosecution of
Santana, chief of the Kiowa Indians,
known as the terror of the plains, :"
The prosecution followed the arrest
of Satanta for his part in the Salt
Greek massacre. The principle argu
ment in the case We're made by Lam
ham, and Satanic and three compan-
ions were sentenced to hang. This
prosecution by the young attorney
marked the commencement of a
remarkable career of honors in the
Lone Star State
The Kiowas and other Indian tribes,
who held undisputed sway in Yves
tern Oklahoma and Northwestern
Texas, made a treaty in 1869 with
the government, combining them to the
Fort Sill reservation, where the gov
eminent provided for their wants.
Rowing bands of these Indians, not
withstanding the treaty, would steal
away from the reservation, swOop
down upon the sparse settlements
along the Texas and Kansas borders
and return in a few days bringing
with them droves of stock and strings

Salt Greek Massacre

In May, 1871 William T. Sherman,
then the commanding general of the
United States Army, reached Western
Texas on a tour of inspection, and
from San Antonio followed the chain
of forts along the old government
trail, leading to Fort Sill He was
at Fort Belknap on May II and reach
ed Fort Richardson on May 49,.
While he and his party were still at
the latter fort band of 100 Kiowa
warriors, headed by Satanic, Satank
and Big Tree, fell upon a train of
corn to Fort Griffin, and killed seven
and escaped with all their mules.
Satanic, Satank, Kicking Bird and
Lone Wolf came to the agency at
Fort Sill, on May q, and Satanic, in
conversation with the Indian agent,
boosted of his recent exploits in Texas
and of how he and his warriors had
killed the teamsters on Salt Creek.
He declared that if any other India
claimed the credit of this massacre
he would be liar; that he, Satanic,
was the man who did it." The de-
tails of the conversation were report
ed to Gen Sherman, who had arrived
at Fort Sill, and Satanic repeated in
the presence of the general that he
had been down in Texas and was
present at the massacre, but said his
young men wanted to have little
fight and take a few scalps, and that
he had gone with them merely to
show them how to make war; had
killed no one himself, but had stood
back and merely gave directions.

That Crystal Falls Game.

Since the L'Anse H. s. team has re-
turned from Crystal Falls, where they
met the H. s. team of that city there
has been considerable conversation as to
the conditions under which the game
was played. The following is an ex-
cerpt from the Diamond Drill which
will throw little light on the subject.
"On Friday evening Of last week, the
return game Of basket ball, between
L'Anse and Crystal Falls High School
teams was played at the Opera house.
''The game was called after few
questions had been settled, and pro-
gressed until about three minutes Of
the close of the first half, when the
L'Anse team left the floor, claiming
that too many fouls were being called
They would not return for the second
half and the game closed with the
score Is to 2 in favor of Crystal Falls.
Referee, McKindles; umpire, Gunther. :"
Al TO the right to claim victory over
the L'Anse team, there is some doubt
In another column will be found num-
ber of answers which this particular
game has brought. out. A perusal Of
them will be Of benefit to those inter-
ested in the game.

Consolidation Proposed.

During the past week there has been
considerable base ball dope spread about,
although the ground is yet wearing its
coat of the beautiful. Nevertheless
enthusiasts believe in starting the wheel
in motion early and many proposals
have been submitted to those interested
One of the most important is that OF
the consolidation of the teams of L 'Anse
and Baraga and thus make one strong
team with which to represent the county.
1t is believed that by 80 doing strong
and fast organization could be formed
and thereby furnish both places with
some decidedly interesting games.
Should this be accomplished it is also
proposed that portable canvass wal
be purchased which could be utilized ir
either town at any game at little expense,
thus enabling the association to receive
a rightful gate support.
AS time progresses it is understood
that q meeting for this purpose is to bt
had in, Baraga and it is expected that
that the proposition viii meet with .
hearty sanction.
