The romance Of the Chicago girl. who
has Just become OF age. and the Indian

west and brought her daughter home
with her.
They reached Chicago a week ago
last Monday. In less than twenty-four
hours Madeline was hitting the trail
ok to the land Of her Indian brave.
Her mother wired the police at Chey-
enne, Wyo.. to arrest the girl in order
to prevent her marriage to the Indian.

go Immediately to the ranch of Plenty

Washington, D. c., Oct. 3l.-In-
quiries from all sections of the coun-
try are being received at the Treas
ury Department from persons who
believed recent reports that all nick
els dated 1910 are counterfeit.
The reports were spread in the
West and South and now are current
in the East, occasiontng much incon-
venience.
There are 8, OOO, 600 nickels Of 1910
in circulation, and SO far as the
Treasury knows all are genuine.
Some of them were discolored in the
minting by fumes Of sulphuric acid,
which gives them an unusual appear
ance.
