CHIEF GERONIMO
GOES TO HAPPY
HUNTING GROUND
Noted Indian Warrior Dies After
Having Been Prisoner for
Twenty-Five Years
Famous Brave, at Age of sc,
Succnmbs to Brief Illness
of Pneumonia
AS Leader of the Apaches, He
Surrendered to General
Nelson A. Miles

LAWTON, Okla, Feb. 17.-Geronimo,
the noted Indian chief, died today at
Fort Sill, where he had been contend
as a prisoner of war for % years He
had been i'll two days with pneumonia.
Geronimo will be buried in the In
dian cemetery near the fort tomorrow.
The funeral will be conducted by Chris
tian missionaries. the chief having pro-
fessed religion three years ago.
Geronimo was the war chief of the
Apaches. He was captured with his
band at Skeleton canyon, Arizona, %
years ago, having surrendered to Gen
eraI Nelson A Miles, who, with his SOL
diers, had pursued him for months.
LAwTON LEADS LONG CHASE
1t is az curious coincidence that news
of Geronimo's death was sent out from
Lawton, which was named after the late
Henry F. Lawton, the famous general
who as a member of Miles command
led the 5000 mile chase that resulted
in the chiefs surrender. The chase
after Geronimo was begun at Omaha
in January, 1885.
General Miles, in command of the
department of the Missouri, received
instructions to rout the band of Indians
headed by Geronimo and Kill or cap
ture it's chief, and began by organizing
an expedition, consisting of the Sec
ond, Eighth and Ninth infantry and the
Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth cav
airy, those men being in charge OF
Henry +. Lawton. then lieutenant.
The expedition was got under way in
January, 1885, and the capture of
Geronimo and his band was made two
years afterward. Since he has been
confined at Fort Sill Geronimo has
made many attempts to gain his liberty.
HATED THE WHITE MAN
Early in 1908 Geronimo made a trip
to Washington with a number of his
followers in an effort to interest Presf-
dent Roosevelt in his case. The old
Indian was unsuccessful, however, and
to the last Geronimo was full of hatred
for the white man.
At the time of his death Geronimo
was Sc years old. One daughter, Leila
who lives in Oklahoma, survives the
aged warrior.

WOMEN'S PLEA SAVES
BIGAMIST FROM PRISON
Forgiven by First Wife, Man
Abandons Second Love

Leroy Leggett, who recently pleaded
guilty of bigamy. was admitted to pro-
baton by Judge Dunno yesterday. His
legal wife. who lives at Oakland with
their two young children, has agreed
to take him back, and Attorney Ernest
d. B. Spagnoli was appointed probation
officer to see that Leggett supports his
family.
1t was explained to the court by
Spagnoii that the second wife was a
variety actress whom Leggett met
while coming to San Francisco from
Seattle to secure employment. He be-
came infatuated with her, and lived
with her here and in Los Angeles.
His wife followed him from Seattle,
and when she learned of her husband s
conduct she told him she was through
with him forever and that she had Sc
cured a divorce. Believing he was free
to wed again Leggett married his para
mour, calling himself Leroy Stewart
Both women were anxious that he
should not be sent to state prison.

The sale of a Cooper preparation In
New York will no longer be confined 10
the one store where Cooper has been meet
ing the public. For the past week Cooper
says more people have called to talk with
him than could be taken care of at one
store and he has therefore decided on a
change of plans. =
In speaking OF this change he said: II
have realized for some time that / would
have to relieve the congestion at tnis
store as the number OF people who call
has been increasing each day, until it Is
almost impossible to see them all, Uspec-
tally at certain hours in the day. Begin

the medicine in stock and those who have
not obtained It can easily order Ii for
their customers. 1 shall continue 10 meet
the public daily as heretofore.
"The name of the medicine which Is
proving so successful Is Cooper's New
Discovery. It is successful because 1t re-

ing a sedentary life in our large cities.
People in cities like New York can't
take enough exercise In the fresh air, and
they will persist in hurriedly eating a great
deal OF food and only half chewing IL.
The consequence is that about half OF them
are nervous, thin. pale and lacking in Vi
tality. They nave little energy and no
stamina. What they need is something 10
make the gastric juices active and virile.
When this is done they begin to assimilate
their food. which affords them the nour-
ishment they need and the tlrel, ~listless,
wornout feeling disappears. Ny medicine
does this very thing, that's why / am sue
cessful.

DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

IL seems almost too good to be true. the
way headache. nervousness, insomnia, and
many other obscure troubles vanish when

The reason is clear. Coffee contains a
