taller of the two covered me with the
revolver while the smaller fellow went
through my clothing. l believe that
the little fellow was foreigner, as he
talked broken English, and noticed
that the large fellow was short of
breath, as he talked in jerks and was
painting. l believe that the men saw
me go up Court street, and to head me
off, ran down around the driveway by
the Mast heating plant and then up
on Maple avenue. One of the men had
on a dirty gray overcoat, while
the other wore dark brown overcoat.
They both wore SLOUGH hats. When

telling how much cheaper the stuff could
have been bought Jones stood II at
first with stoical calm, then commenced
to sweat Finally he was informed that
box of good cigars presented to Gle
board would probably straighten matters
out. At this juncture he saw a great
light. Going down stairs he purchased
a box of cigars and after substituting
part of the first layer with loaded ones
sent them to the supervisors. All helped
themselves. Supervisor Heady took two

Holcomb and the other TO County Prose

EPIC TRAGEDY IN DEATH
Traditions of the indinn "'
vanishing with the
Members.

The last chief of the Chippewas Is dead.
There is something more tragic IMAM
death in that statement. II means obllN-
ion. Ancient legends, songs, history ana
the traditions Of his people were said to
have been recorded In Chief Satago's
memory. He was called a living indian
epic. That is The pity of 1t. The Ameri-
can Indian epic must always die with
the last Of the tribe. Longfellow apprecl-
ated the poetical value Of the life Of the
indian. He spent much time in the lodge
Of Chief Satago and embodied much OF
the material he obtained there In iia-
watha." As the last of the various tribes
dle-and there are only a Few LETT 70
die-we are always reminded OF 'lila-
watha." 1t is "Iiawatha' alone that
attempts to immortalize the strange
romantic people.
We have lost our opportunity 10 claim
an epic from our Indian tribes, although
we might have had a "Beowulf' as saw
age and as mysteriously powerful as tho
English poem. The ballads Of Scotland
could not portray more splendid cour-
age or those of Ireland and Wales more
weird charm than could have been found
In the stories of the Indians. The folk
lore of the European countries could have
produced nothing more picturesque And
all we have left to us are the stories Of
the struggles between the Indians and the
white people and the Indian films at the
picture shows. The picture show man
never lets anything get away from him,
but he realizes the value only OF Indian
stories 20 the detriment Of the Indian
character and OF the really poetical inter
est of the Indian life There was an at
tempt TO write an American opera with
an Indian subject, but IL was like the pic
ture shows-it was only the representa-
ton Of an idea about the Indian. The
truth alone was worth writing about, and
il has been forgotten. We have lost our
opportunity 10 contribute a unique and
valuable literature TO the world.
And still we are a very interesting little

ilized we are picturesque and strange. and

CHARGES MADE AGAINST
BUFFALO COUNTY JUDGE

KEARNEY, Neb,, oct. 21.--(Special. J.
Charges have been made against County
Judge +. NJ. Hallowell through a news
paper article in the morning daily, that
excessive fees have been collected by
him from lltigants in his office. Later
in the week the county attorney was in
structed by the county board to investi-
gate number of criminal cases in which
the county was interested. County At
torney =. 3. McDermott and Attorney
Warren Pratt were appointed to make a
report.
This report was given to the board
Thursday and the investigators reported
that in the ten cases cited total over
charge in fees OF $3.50 had been made,
according to their understanding of the
statutes. Mr.. Hallowell was called be-
fore the board to explain and he APP
peared, but asked for time to acuuaint
himself with the report of the special
committee. This was granted and Fri
day afternoon he sent the board a writ
ten statement, in which he says that as
he could not profit by collecting illegal
fees, the county receiving considerable
excess fees from his office, he mad only
done his duty as he saw it. He further
objects to a hearing unless 1t be before
a tribunal that has jurisdiction to deter
mine what a proper fee should be.
Notwithstanding, the board today au-
thorized the county attorney TO look into
other cases, both civil and criminal. The
outcome of the whole matter is watched
with great interest, as some people think
the whole deal was started by political
opponents as Mr.. Hallowell is a canGl-
date for reelection. No malfeasance is
charged.
