SAME OLD STORY.
Editor of the Rowland Sun Has
Sad Experience With Tramp

Editor of the Rowland Sun Has
Sad Experience With Tramp
Printer.
In the following Editor johnson
OF the Rowland Sun merely recites
an experience that has come into
the life OF every newspaper pub
Usher and while it may be news to
the public it is not news to the
editors, all of whom, have had the
unpleasant duty of charging such
accounts off to profit and loss:
About the middle of September,
1903, a ragged little tramp came
into The Sun office and applied for
a job. We had just lost a printer
and decided to try him. He claim
ca to be of German birth and gave
MS name os Julius NJ Won Rajky.
He had no clothes, no money, moth
ing, and vas in sue h shabby fix
that he could not even get board.
Ihe first thing we had to do was to
take the risk aid buy him a suit of
clothes. He worked we'll and was
one of the best job printers that we
nave seen. But it was not long
before he began to live beyond his
means. At the end of the month
ne would always be in debt. He
seemed to be satisfied with his SAL
tiOS oiNC dlIeT the
month, when it was raised did he
ask for an increase. We thought
he was honest and trusted him too
far. He was a very good collector
and we let him take the bills
around the first of each month
Last Saturday was the 1st and we
sent him out with the bills. He
turned in part of what he collected
pocketed the balance and skipped
as suddenly as he arrived. We are
not sure how much he stung us
for, but it will probably reach SIS.
Besides this he owes bills to sever
al of the business men of the town.
He is a great talker, great to laugh,
and has several card tricks that he
delights in playing. The first
thing he will do after entering a
printing office is to display his
skill in setting up an advertise
ment. He is great cigarette smok-
er, vulgar and profane in his talk
and great to hang around cool
drink stands. He is small in size,
dark complexion, black hair, scar on
back of neck and is about 23 years
OF age. All print shops would do
well to let him go on by. Hence
forth no hobo printer need apply
Tor job at this office.

wered the letter. In referring to
1t yesterday he said: 81 have al
ways been able to take care of my
self, and although l am almost 80
years old, 1 will not live off any
one. When L can't work l will go
to the .poorhouse."
Dead~ood Dick is also quite a
poet, Sed the last verse of a COM
position he wrote in the jail recent
ly reads as follows:
Fhe truth is l am old and discour-
aged,
My clothing is seedy and poor,
And the merchant, God knows l
don't blame him,
Refuses to trust me for more.
But I'll pay the last cent and be
honest;
No mortal on earth will rob:
Then toddle away to the poor farm /;
The John Smiths will give me a
job.

REDSKINS SCHEME FOR GET
TING RAIN.

Mud Turtles Staked on Edge of
Stream Just Beyond Reach of
Water.
Wetumka, Okla, July 13.-Creek
Indians in this vicinity are resorting
to annabient tribal customs in an
attempt to obtain a rainfall. One
OF their customs, which has been
widely followed in the last week,
is to stake mud turtles on the edge
OF the stream just far enough away
from the water so that 1t cannot
reach it.
1t is the Indians belief that the
turtle despairing of their attempts
to reach the water, invoke the aid
of the Great Spirit" to send rain
so that the stream will be raised
and brought to them.
Since the turtles were first
staked out several rains have fall
en-. The Indians believe their pray
ers are being answered and they
are fastening up more turtles to
pray for still greater rainfall.

DEADWOOD DICK AN OUTCAsT
Man Who Was With Custer at the

Man Who Was With Custer at the
Massacre at Little Big Horn Has
Had Remarkable Career.
"All the worlds a stage, and all
the men and women only players !:
They have their exits and their en-
frances"
And no one believes this more to-
day that Walter Richard Morrison,
at present an inmate of the county
Jail. AS Deadwood Dick his en-
trance on the stage of the world
was to play a leading part in one
of the most exciting dramas the
West has ever known AS Walter
Richard Morrison his exit in the
world Is to play the lowest part on
the stage Of life as it is found in
eVery large city in the country. To-
day he Is vagrant in the West
Side Jail.
From the honored place of scout
TO General Custer up to almost the
gery time when the fighting COM
mander fell with his men on the
bloody battlefield of the Little Big
Horn, Morrison has fallen to become
a figure well known to the police
and mail officials of Denver.
His life history is one full of ro-
nance and pathos. In his younger
odyo hS was OhS Vi the hen WHO
aided in the making of the great
West. To-day he Is an old man,
past three score and ten, for whom
life seemingly holds but little. But
even in his present condition he is
not disheartened. Although to use
an everyday expression, he is
something to live for, but his
greatest joy and pleasure is In tell
ing of the days when he was a scout
with Custer
Deadwood Dick has been a famil-
lar sight in Denver for fifteen
years. He was at one time wealthy,
and until seven years ago he was
in comfortable circumstances. But
since that time he has been eking
out of existence by manufacturing
and selling an insect powder. The
