What Became OF the Officers?
IT is understood that in addition to
the request for troops from Fort Win
gate, sent in by Sheriff Tale. two
mounted policemen were sent to the
scene Of the killing. AS FAR as can be
learned the mounted policemen never
got there and for some reason no
soldiers were sent. If, as alleg-
ed. no action has been taken to bring
the companions Of the surrendered

general feeling that some inquiry
should be made into the matter at

ANCIENT ROYAL TOMB FOUND.

A tomb containing the embalmed
BODY of woman wearing crown and
,ricl, ornaments was discovered recently
by a man named Musa ct Burtu while
digging on his land at GAIA, in Pales-
tine. The following translation OF the
account of the discovery has been sent
from Jerusalem ~ Prof. r. A. 5.
Macalister to the Palestine Exploration
Fund:
when Musa went to his land and
was working and digging it he found a
little door. He entered by it into
cave divided into two chambers, and,
entering through the second door, he
found a coffin OF hardwood. And he
opened it. and in the coffin was another
OF crystal. And he broke this, and in
side it he found one OF the old queens
embalmed and on her head crown
adorned with precious stones and on
her neck q necklace of pearls. and
three chains besides on her breast.
Above her head was q candlestick OF
gold and another at her foot. "
Another account from Mr.. Knese-
Yich, of GAIA, says that the sarc ophagus
was CT pure white marble and was
strongly protected by sort OF vault OF
huge stones built over it. The lid OF
the sarcophagus was artistically carved
in the exact form of the mummy,
which was in excellent preservation.
The hair was loose and the head bound
with fillet, the form of which suggest
ed that the mummy was Roman, but
the shoes were Egyptian. No in
scription was on the sarcophagus, but
a book is said to have been found in it.

Smith X Jones pride themselves on
being sharp dealers in wares. Having
no competition in their little country
town, they sometimes tack on a little
more profit than the conditions justify.
The farmers know this, and they have
given the firm a reputation that is one
OF the jokes of the county.
The other day old Bill Sackett came
to town to get four or five axes, hav-
ing decided to hurry up and cut a lot
of cordwood to haul to pay taxes.
'Them's putty fair axes" said Bill
after half a dozen different kinds of
axe had been %unwrapped and SUBJ

"What's the price?" asked Bill.
"Sixty CENTS" replied Smith & Jones
together.
'IIl tell you what I'll do" said Bill
ref1ectively. "Ill give you fellers so
cents apiece for FIVE of 'em."
To sell five at one sale seemed a
good thing, and Smith & Jones nod
ded to each other, and in a moment
the axe were tied up and pushed over
the counter to Bill. who took the bun
die and laid down a dollar bill.
"Ye kin divide it between you, so

Pumps are very fashionable in one
form or another, in kid. suede and pat
ent leather. The stiff pump bow is
seen and the string bow also.
The pulley belt is among the new
belts. 1t is made Of elastic, finished
at each end with a covered ring and
fastened with a ribbon bow.
Bathing suits Of waterproof black
satin duchesse are greatly liked. The
satin. though heavy in weight, is soft
and falls in the approved straight line.
Chanticleer gloves have come to
match the chanticleer handkerchief. A
tiny rooster or a golden pheasant is
embroidered at the elbow.
Gray and white. brown and yellow.
violet and white and especially green
