BEST MAN ARRESTED
WHILE WITH COUPLE
PREPARED TO WED

IONA, Mich. Feb. 12.-Edward
Haney and Grace Shade of Lake
Odessa, came to this city recently
to obtain marriage license. With
them came Ray Clements, who was
to act as best man. They got the
license and then decided to take a
trip through the county Jail before
visiting the minister. While on
their tour Deputy Sheriff Taylor
decided that Clements was the man
he was looking for in connection
with Lake Odessa robbery, and
accordingly arrested him.
This upset the plans of the bridal
party, but they went to the sheriff's
residence. and with the prisoner
fulfilling his capacity as best man,
the couple were married by Justice
of the Peace Cellick. Officers then
put Clements in a cell and Haney
and his bride went home.
Some time ago a local store in
Lake Odessa was robbed and Tues
day Taylor went over to that place
and arrested Fred Bennett. He is
said to have confessed and impli.
Gated Clements.

HIDDEN FORTUNE
NINE AGAIN READY
FOR OPERATION
Litigation and Death Kept
Rich Mine Closed TO- ~
Years.

DEADWOOD, 8. D., Feb. a.
After more than 10 years of sauab-
bling among the stockholders and
promoters, intermingled with liti-
cation that seemed almost intermin-
able, It is again announced that the
Hidden Fortune gold mine will
again be put In operation. Re-
Gently a consolidation was affected
between the Columbus properties
and the Hidden Fortune and one of
the most extensive and valuable
orebeds ever located in the Black
Hills is thereby ready to give up its
treasure.
The discovery and promotion of
the Hidden Treasure some 10 years
ago, created the greatest excite
ment In the history Of this country
and funds came easily to Henry J.
Mayham, the promoter, who lived in.
Denver. The officers of the min
ing company included some of the
most prominent men in the finan.
cial circles of that time and all
went lovely until the whole thing
was plunged into litigation.
No sooner had the litigation end
ed than one by one, the officers of
the company began to die and until
the last of these, ]. H. Nesmith Of
Denver, a trustee, passed away, the
property was constantly under
change Of management and the
smaller stockholders were COM
PEELED to wait. 1t is now promised
that the Hidden Fortune will be in
operation by the coming summer.

ing to bring down his game. In
the early days, before the Indians
became possessed of fire arms, l
have watched. them by the hour
among the tules, using their throw.
ing sticks on the wild fowl.
This practice. which have
never seen mentioned in books on
the subject, was also employed by
the desert Indians. There was one
tribe in the desert east Of San
Diego that was known by the name
OF boomerang by the old settlers
on account Of the use of the throw
ing stick. which resembles in it's
main features the weapon Of the
Australian aborigine.
I'm all history there Is no men,
ton Of any nation but the Egyptians
using the throwing stick, nor do
modern travellers tell of any savage
tribes using 1t, so the American In.
dian must either have come from
Egyptian stock or else have come
In close contact with the stick

the Nile"

A WOMAN FOR WHOM ALL THE WORLD
AFFORDS EMPLOYMENT OF THE MIND
Woman and EXPERT Fnner All This
A Member of Spokane Chamber of Commerce

It is really remarkable in these
days to find a woman who figures
highly in the business world and
holds social and political positions
that would command credit for one
who devotes their entire time and
energy to the one particular voca-
ton
Recent instances pertaining to
public affairs have brought Mrs.
Phoebe Cox into the limelight
which made her known to the bust
ness world as a financier of no lit
tie ability. And the chief recogni-
ton was the urgent solicitation and
acceptance of her as member of
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce.
Mrs. Cox is one of only three
Spokane women who have attained
this high business standing. Aside
from this, she figures on the bust
ness committees of the Spokane
Woman's Club and the Spokane
Political Equality League.
In her personal business career
Mrs. Cox has acquired variety of
commercial assets and proven her
self shreWd Investor aud a COM
~petent conductor in each capacity.
Independence mining claims No.
! and 2, located in the Elk City min.
ing district, are now the property
of Mrs. Cox. These claims were
on the market at ordinary figures
when she employed experts to in
vestigate their value, and after the
purchase more thorough investi-
cation was made and the ore
proved to be from a productive gold
vein. The independence mines are
now being operated under Mrs.
Cox's personal supervision.

Country for Nearly
. Year.

TT. WAYNE, Ind, Feb. 12.-Pat-
rick Farnan. the boy who had been
unconscious for the last nine
months at Hope Hospital, has re-
covered sufficiently to talk discon-
nectedly.
The boy was injured in a fall
and his life had been despaired of,
but he Is now gaining strength rap
idly.
His case has puzzled all the local
physicians and also the doctors
from all parts of the country who
have inspected him while in attend
ance at two important medical
meetings held during the time the
boy has been in the hospital.
Farnan's physical condition could
not be better. and he is growing
rapidly in stature, although the en-
tire left side of his body Is par
alyzed.
He is entirely blind, but he can
hear perfectly.
Nearly twenty different doctors
have had charge of him since he
has been in the hospital, and for
the first month he was there it
was said about every other day that
he could not live through the night.
The case Is considered by local
physicians as being the most pc
culiar with which they have ever
had to deal.

ABORICINES DESCENDED FROM
RAMESES---ANClENT EGYPTIAN

That the American Indian, and
especially the California aborigine,
are descendants of the ancient
Egyptians, is the belief Of Albert
Ramp of Alameda, CAL, a pioneer
whose researches into the life and
customs of the prehistoric Indians
has been carried on for more than
so years.
Ramps chief foundation for his
belief is the existence of the
throwing stick" among the Cali
fornia tribes living near the rivers
of the state, which stick. he thinks,
is the exact prototype of the throw
ing stick used by the ancient
Egyptian fowlers in the Delta of
the Nile many centuries past.
Ramp received specimen of the
throwing stick from q friend in
Sacramento a few days ago and H.
Illustrated the manner in which the
Indians killed duck, geese and teher
wild fowl and even small animals
by it's use.
The stick is about three feet long
and curved something like the
boomerang used by the Australian
bushmen.
This throwing stick Is exactly
like the one used by the Egyptian
wild fowlers of the Nile delta in
the time of Rameses the Great"
said Ramp, "and although the Cali
fornia Indians were not divided in
to castles like the Egyptians, and
any tribesman could use the stick
TO supply his own larder, the
method of using 1t was exactly the
same.
"The fowler went to the marshes
and hiding himself in the tules,
waited for his quarry to appear.
Then he threw the curved stick
with unerring aim, hardly ever fail

New York. City No Longer
Controls Trade of the
Nation.
LOWER PORT CHARGES
Chamber of Commerce
Thinks Interstate Com
merce Board is
Prejudiced.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-New Yor1l
City is at last fighting with its back
against the wall to regain it's rapid.
ly vanishing commercial suprem-
acy. The boast for years of the
native cityite. whose horizon is
bounded on the north by the Har-
lem river, on the south by New
York bay, on the east by the East
river and Long Island sound and on
the west by the Hudson river, that
New York Leads the Warld," and
"Old Father Knickerbocker" con-
trolls the trade of the nation, is rap
idly becoming nothing but an en-
PITY echo.
That this is realized by the COM
mercial bodies of the community is
shown by the action of the chamber
of commerce. 1t is preparing to
enter on an open fight with the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
which it asserts is prejuiced against
the city; 1t has appointed commit
tees to consider the improvement
of terminal facilities and the low
ering of the port charges, and to
investigate railroad rates between
New York and the interior with the
object of removing discrimina-
tons" against this city.

PETRIFIED DOG Is
FOUND IN TREE

MANASSAS, Va, Feb. IA
John O'Neal. engineer on the
Southern Railway, while hunt
ing in a dense forest a few
miles south of this place, found
a petrified dog in the forks of
a tree near the ground. The
supposition is that the dog in
springing for his prey was
caught as found and slowly
turned to stone.
O'Neil took the dog to Wash
ington, where it will be placed
on exhibition. Many offers
have been made for the strange
relic, but thus far the price has
been refused. The perfect con-
dition of the dog makes it es-
pecially valuable.
