A Bin kid

The civic league of Fergus Falls
has been smelling among the saloon
keepers who were put into business
when the town elected to go "wet" at
the annual election and has conferred
it's actions upon an effort to catch
saloon men selling beer and liquor to
minors. A detective was engaged. and
as bait and stoolpigeon, he was Civ
en- the services of respectable young
fellow, Decenius Olson, new conner
to the city. Olson, technically, is
minor, but he will be Fl years Of age
before the end of the present month,
he stands six feet high and is well
proportional, SO that he was likely
bait for the unwary seller of beer. etc.
Upon the evidence of this party and
the detective four saloonkeepers have
been arrested for selling to minors and
sentiment is divided in Fergus Falls
as to the wisdom of such methods.
The father Of Olson is much incensed
that his son has been dragged into
the matter the way he has been.

finances dating back for ten years Is

counts of the various officials are re-

the auditors, Messrs. Pogson, Pelou-

satisfied that cash to this amount
was distracted"
The auditors make no attempt to
concisely sum up the possible short
ages, stating in connection Herewith
that many receipt bo9ks are missing,
polltax receipts and cash books gone.
The greaest number of missing re-
ceipts appears to be in the polltax de-
partment, and until some check can
be had on these, it is difficult to es-
innate the amount due the city treas
urer.
The officials are scored for their

RICH INDIAN IS DEAD
Quanah Parker a Famous and
Picturesque Chief.
Noted comanche Credited With Hav-
Ing Killed Many White Men Has
Lately Lived Like Lord
In Oklahoma.

Lawton, Ok.-One OF the wealthiess
and most picturesque American In
dams passed away recently here, In
the death Of Quanah Parker, the fam
GUS chief Of the Comanche tribe. He
was credited with having killed hum
dreds OF white men in his early days,
but for years he had lived civilized
life.
Chief Quanah lived like lord in
$4,000 mansion, and was the proprie-
tor of great cattle ranch. besides 800
acres Of farming land under excellent
cultivation. Some estimates placed
his wealth at 100000.
He had seven wives and innumera-
BILE children. Three Of his sons stud
led at the Indian school at Carlisle,
Pa. some years ago.
The chief was friend and admirer
of Col Roosevelt. with whom he had
hunted, and was accustomed to tell
with pride how when 1t was proposed
to sell certain Comanche lands for
$3.50 an acre. his protest to the col
onel, who was then president. brought
prompt promise that the price should
not be under IS an acre.
Parker had completely mastered an
appetite for strong drink and he de-
spised gambling, vice to which great
numbers Of his people were addicted.
The chief was the son of white
woman, Cynthia Ann Parker. daugh-
ter of Gen. Isaac Parker, distin-
guished Texas politician, who over so
years ago lived In Parker county. that
state. She was captured when 4 years
old by q marauding band Of Co
manches, which attacked the family
home. The child grew up as an In
dian, learning their language. and fin
ally marrying Chief Quanah. one OF
the warriors OF the tribe.
When little Quanah was small boy
his mother was retaken by her friends
and restored to her old home In Texas.
But the new surroundings were in no
way suited to the wild spirit she had
