DAD OF MODERN BUFFALO
skeleton Unenrthed Supposed to be
That of Original Bison Thou
sands of Years Back.

The huge skeleton of an animal un-
earthed on the Q street road, one mile
west OF the Burlington tracts. in the ex-
cavation on the route of the new Papll-
lion-Ralston interurban line is believed by
r. F. Glider, the Omaha archaeologist, to be
that of a mammoth buffalo. the origin Of
the buffalo of modern time which roamed
the plains In the pioneer days of Nebraska
and other western states. Mr.. Glider has
made a scientific examination &C the bones,
and has come to the conclusion that this
buffalo lived many thousands of years ago,
and was the parent of the buffalo of re-
cent days.
The shoulder blade of the skeleton meas
ures eighteen inches and the entire form
denotes an animal of extraordinary size
and strength.
The skeleton was buried fifteen feet
below the surface of the earth. 1t was
discovered by James Sullivan, one of the
workmen under Fred Anderson of the
Nebraska Traction and Power company,
which has charge of the general construc-
ton work of the interurban line. The
skeleton was lying on the right side. with
the face toward the west. Mr.. Sullivan
took the head home with him. under the
impression the skeleton was of great value.

Jack" Binns. the wireless telegraph opera
tor who was on board the steamer Republic

Size the Conquering Hero Comes and the
mayor in his official robes extended him a
welcome. A procession OF carriages with
Binns in the lead then made a triumphal
progress through cheering crowds from the
station to the guild hail. This was packed
with leading citizens and all rose and
cheered wildly yhen Binns, his sweetheart
on his arm. entered. The mayor said to
Binns:
Your pluck and courage have excited the
admiration OF America and the whole world,
Some men are decorated for the slaughter
Of thousands, you nave saved thousands by
your gallantry. We present you with this
address as a permanent record of your
bravery. Your fellow citizens are very
proud of you"

thanked the mayor for the welcome ex-
tended him and said there we're greater
heroes on board the Republic than himself.
He had only done his duty. The men of
the engine rooms had risked their lives by
remaining below to open the steam valves,
an act which ,aved everyone from being

LYNcHING At HOUSTON, MISS.
Young Negro who Killed Preacher
Taken From Jail and Hanged
BY n Mob.

HOUSTON, Miss. Feb. 1o.-Roby Baskin.
a negro youth, self-confessed slayer OF
Rev. w. I. Hudson. today was lynched
by a mob of several hundred citizens. The
prisoner was secured without resistance
and accepted his fate as a matter of
course without a word of entreaty or
prayer. He was hanged from a tree within
200 yards of the county Jail.
The same mob gathered about the Jail
yesterday to lynch the negro. At the en-
treaty of the county officials, who urged
that efforts be made to secure a speedy
trial and the law be allowed to take it's
course, action was deferred and Judge A.
o. Sykes was asked to hold a special term.
He declined and the lynching was the re-
suit.
Sheriff Bean arrived too late to prevent
the mob's action. The representatives of
the sheriff here declare they consider
their action in surrendering the negro
justified in the interest of law and order.

THIEVES ARE INDICTED
Bills Returned Against ~Twenty-siv
Agents of Umb Corporations
in Oklahoma. ~t

MUSKOGEE, Okl., Feb. 10-IndictmentL
against twenty-six Representatives of big
corporations charging them with stealing
valuable lumber from segregated lands in
Oklahoma, were returned by the federal
grand jury here today. An additional ins
dictment was returned against one person
for impersonating a United States officei
in furtherance of the scheme OF alleged
timber thieves. The alleged - theftf
occurred chiefly in the. Choctaw, Chickasau
and Seminole nations. yI.}tsF. So.
Judge Campbell issued strict orders thai
no names OF the indicted persons be given
out until they have been arrested and
have either been committed to jail or have
given bonds. Tonight United States Mar.
shall Grant Victor dispatched ten deputiei
on a south bound train to arrest the per-
sons who reside chiefly in LeFlore. MoCur,
tain and Choctaw counties. They will be
brought here Wednesday and required TO
give bond.
For years the government has been har.
raised by timber thieves representing big
corporations capitalized in the east which
have been stealing from segregated Indian
lands on Sugar Loaf, Backbone, Winding
Stair and other mountains, millions of dol
lars worth Of pine, walnut. oak and other
valuable timber. When the government in
spectors reported the thefts It has been the
customs of the timber thieves to admit
their guilt and to pay certain amounts into
the treasury of the Indian agency in lieu
of the value of the timber stolen.
Then the thieves would promise not to
commit any more depredations upon the
forests. only to forget their promise, and
there has been a continual repetition OF the
offense for years. Finally the United
States district attorney, WI. GfeEg. grew
tired of this way of handling the thieves
and the indictments returned today are
the results. Government inspectors have
spent months collecting evidence.

by Taylor to ask for a showing of the
assets as we'll as the debts of the state.
The passing of a state depository bill
through the house today without debate
and with no opposing votes was a decided
change from past sessions in which such
bills have always met defeat, the alleged
opposition to other bills having its source
in the office OF the state treasurer. This
time nothing Of the kind developed,

ton. of the counties Of Todd, Nash and
