CADAVERS PROVE TOO
MUCH FOR HER NERVES

Chicago, March 4.-Miss Frances
Kingsnorth, an artists model, last night
was led blindfolded into a room filled
with cadavers and photographed for a
picture to be entitled ASLEEP with the
Dead" She tainted when the bandage
was removed and her eyes opened on
the grewsome, grinning hulks Of the
human forms that surrounded her. Her
collapse was followed by Mysteries in
which she screamed and struggled to
free herself from what seemed to her
a living tomb, until she fell in an I'M
conscious heap on the floor. This all
happened in the John H. Drake COM
pany's anatomical laboratory in Ogden
avenue, near Tonore street. For hours
after her experience she vas in a pre-
carious condition.
Miss Kingsnorth had agreed to dance
with human skeletons before the cam
era i'm the Drake laboratory and had
nerVed herself to pose with the same
bony remnant of departed personality
upon her lap, but did not bargain to
lie down with the hulks of dead in order
that the cravings OF the "Medics'' for
the morbid might be satisfied.

OYSTER CANS ....
As SAVINGS BANK

Pierre, S. d., March 4.-Ranchers
south of Fort Pierre have been watch
ing with some curiosity the antics of
an old man named Joe Boyce. For IS
years this strange old man has been
living alone near the ranch of a
wealthy stockman, Manuel Sylvia, who
has been in a way responsible for the
old man. OF late, however, Sylvia has
been travelling a great deal and h old
man, left to his own control, has de-
veloped strange habits, much to the
concern of the nearby ranchers.
Boyce, poorly clad and unkempt, a
deserted his little cabin, and has taken
to the woods, of which there is a six
mile track just south of the Sylvia
ranch. Here the old man prowled for
weeks until the authorities were ad-
vised. On investigation they found
that Boyce is laboring under that form
OF dementia which makes its victim
believe that all people are seeking to
rob him. To protect his little hoard
of $500, the savings of almost a uar
ter of a century, Boyce chose oyster
cans as savings banks. These were
found at various points about his
claim, each can holding a portion of
the precious hoard.
After much persuasion Boyce was in
duced to place his money in the hands
OF trustworthy people.

the sudden death Of Professor Clark
M. Young, dean of the college of arts
and sciences, at or near saltwater,
Okla, Friday at shutdown. MIR. Young
had been failing in health for some
time and suffered a severe strain on
his nerves during the first part OF this
semester. HI went South last Tuesday
to ~recuperate and was on his way to
Swanee, Okla, when stricken. The re-
mains were taken in charge by Judge

turned to Tyndall and edited a news

FAMOUS INDIAN
SCOUT VISITS IN
WASHINGTON
As Delegate From Sioux Tribe.
He Seeks Concessions From
the Government.

washington, d. c., March 2.-David
Zephier, famous as one OF the best In
dian scouts who ever served with the
government troops, and especially rec
ognized for his services for the govern
ment during the jll-starred campaign
which included the Custer massacre, is
In Washington as a delegate from the
Sioux Indians of South Dakota, who
are asking various things of h adj
ministration.
Zephier is exceilently educated. talks
as clear English as anybody, m has
had a wonderful series Of experiences.
He was with Custer In the campaign or
the Little Missouri and Little Big Horn,
but was lucky enough to be with h
division of troops which escaped the
massacre. He had done splendid service,
however. for which he was highly com
mended by the army officers. .
Opposed Government.
In 1885 Zephier almost got himself
into trouble with the government be-
cause he influenced the Sioux to reject
the carefully negotiated treaty be-
tween his people and Uncle sam for
the cession OF the great Sioux reser-
walton, comprising most Of South Da-
kota west OF the Missouri; an area
greater than that OF most states. Zeph-
fer had much influence with his people,
and despite all effort TO induce him TO
take the governments side, he refused
to advise his people TO ratify. He told
them they were not getting enough for
their lands. and that IL they would hold
out the government would do better.
In the end he won. and the treaty was
rejected; but not until after the gov
eminent officers in charge or the nego-
tiations had threatened 20 put him I'm
jail as a nuisance and a trouble
maker. 0.s ~. ...a
Four years later another commission
was sent out to negotiate a treaty with
the same Indians on the same subject.
Zephier was looked after at the begin
ming. He was engaged as official in
terpreter. He did not lose his hold
with the Indians, despite this engage
ment. He occupied the unique posi-
ton Of being at once the interpreter n
also q sort OF special attorney for his
people. Both sides had come TO feel
confident of his sincerity. and he main
tanned this strange relationship
throughout the negotiation. He secured
for his people what he had promised.

was framed did much to induce them
TO accept IT. o.
