SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-The
Billy Nolan-Abe Attell alliance appears
to be resting on the weakest kind of

He neglected to notify Nolan. Mean
while, Billy has been hustling to per-
feet the details of the Attell Murphy
battle scheduled for August 3, and
pointing" his man for a return match
with Johnny Kilbane.
Il took up Attell's case at time
when his popularity was rusted, his
title gone and his prestige denied

on the grounds of gratitude. as graft

mountains and get him into flrstclass

direction and we will then get Kilbane.
After this Abe may act as he chooses.
If Abe tries any sleight Of hand stuff

JOSEPH BRANT

A handsome middle-aged Indian,
swarthy of skin, but with the dress
and manner of a man of fashion,
called at Van Cortlandt manor house,
New York, one day in the latter part
OF the eighteenth century. He had
come to meet his former foe, Col. Van
Cortlandt of the Revolutionary army.
1t is not the first time | have been
honored by the sight of you" he OBJ
served courteously. 81 saw you when
we ambushed your regiment / point
ed you out to one of my braves with
orders to kill you. He fired and missed.
wished at the time that l had done
the shooting myself. But in that case
would have been robbed of the pleas
ure of this interview"
The speaker who thus mingled court
liness and savagery was Joseph Brant,
one of the greatest of Mohawk sa-
chems. His native name was Thav-
en- da-ne-gea (meaning "strength"). He
was the son of a Mohawk sub-chief
and was born on the Ohio river in
1912. His father died when he was a
child. Joseph and pretty little sister
Molly were brought by their mother to
the Mohawk valley in New York.
The Excellent Youths" Atrocities.
Sir William Johnson-formerly a
poor Irish boy and at that time one of
the richest landowners in America
was master of vast tracts of Mohawk
valley territory and lived there like
a feudal lord. He was one Of the few
colonists whom the fierce Iroquois con-
federacy loved and trusted. Johnson
strengthened his hold over the Indi-
ans by marrying Molly Brant- accord
ing to Iroquois ceremonials-and by
educating her brother, Joseph. The
tatter's schoolmaster once wrote of
Brant: Joseph is indeed an excellent
youth
The excellent youth was destined
to become the scourge of the whole
countryside. But in his younger years
there was no hint of this tendency. AS
youth he was already a splendid
warrior and willy diplomat, it is true;
but he also did much missionary work
among the Indians and his influence
seemed all for good. He fought gal
Iantly on the side of the English col
onies in the French and Indian wars,
was later secretary to the Indian SUI
perintendent and in 1776 went to Eng
land on a diplomatic errand. In Lon
don he was a universal favorite and
was received with almost royal honors.
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1912-03-20

This is a story that begins in
Nigwam and ends in the capltol at
Washington-the story of ''redskln
who has risen high in the councils OF
the government with whom his race
have warred-the story of the hrst
Indian senator-Charles r. Curtis,
who was once jokingly called the
only American in the United States
ate"
1urtis was born in a tepee OF the
Kaw tribe, in Kansas, in 1861. HIS.
mother was a Kaw woman and his IA
Their a French officer. Left an orphan
at the age of three, the future senator
spent his early boyhood in the Wig
wan of his mothers people near
Council Grove, Kan. One of his hrst
recollections is the sight of gallop-
ing, painted war party of Kaw braves
dashing forth to battle against tnelr
foes, the Cheyennes.
Soon after this fight he was sent TO
Topeka to school. But he was too
used TO the free outdoor life of an In
dian youth to relish the confinement
of a schoolroom. Moreover-accord-
ing to white mans standards-he was
poor; and he found it necessary to
turn his hand to some means OF
livelihood.
A Jockey and a "Bad" Horse.
He went to work as newsboy;
then as a peanut vendor; then as
bootblack. But none of these jobs
promised wealth nor even an especial
ly comfortable living. So he sought
for better work. Here his boyish ex-
perience in riding bareback the wild
Kaw bronchos stood Curtis in good
stead And when his chance came he
was ready for It, He obtained job
in a racing, stable as jockey, and
rode many a winner. He and the
veteran jockey Fred Taral struck up
a warm friendship in those race track
days.
The Kansas City Interstate Fair as
sociation was holding a meet in 1877.
One of the horses entered for GER
tain race was known to be very
speedy, but had bad way of bolting
and becoming manageable when
every he reached a certain point on
the track. Hence he was looked upon
as a sure loser. Curtis-a slender,
bIack-haired, dark skinned wisp of a
Iad-was assigned to ride this crazy
horse Unlike the usual story book
hero he did not win the race against
! fearful odds" On the contrary, the
horse hurled him against high board
fence with such force as to leave
scars which the senator still bears.
This practically ended the young In
dams racing career.
He next became hack driver.
While he was working at this unfn-
spring trade he became smitten with
longing for better education. He

rents While waiting for fares" he
