REPORTED THAT THEY WERE
GIVEN NINETY DAYS HERE
FOURTH OF JULY

Chick" Aliister and another young
man by the name of Hinshaw, are
greatly worried over the supposed
scandal or neighborhood gossip that
is going around their home town OF
Richland. It was reported there that
they were arrested in Ottumwa on
July 4 for celebrating the wrong way
and drew ninety days In Jail. They
wrote Clerk George Phillips of the dis
trict court asking whether or not this
wac true and his answer will be that
the neighbors are mistaken. Investiga-
tior of the police court records show
that only one man was arrested on the
Fourth and he was just q plain drunk.
Furthermore, there is no place that
shows the names of either McAllister
or Hinshaw having been enrolled on
the court records this year.
The letter to Clerk Phillips stated
that they were very DESTROYS of prov
ing an alibi if their names appeared on
the records. McAllister was taking
things easy on the Skunk river. he as
serts, and Hinshaw was equally as far
sway from Ottumwa. They were afraid
that fictitious names might have been
given by men arrested here.
Clerk Phillips will set their hearts
at ease. It.is evident that somebody in
Richland Is having considerable fun,
or has made a terrible lot of trouble
for the young men.

 BLACKFOOT INDIAN NOW 131 YEARS OLD
Aged Fire Maker Is En Route to the Big Land Show in
 Chicago

Chicago. November 19.-(Special.)-- Wah-H Hah- Gun-Ta, chief fremaker, the 131-year- blackfoot Indian from Glacier reservation, Is on his way east to attend the United States Land show. Chief Firemaker Is the oldest human being in the world, having been born in the region now known as Glacier National park in 17e1 according to well authenticated tradition. He was the first red man in that territory to visit the great white father and his journey to the national capital, when Presi- dent Jefferson was in the White House, was a memorable event in his life.
 He is regarded in his tribe as an oracle. At the time or his birth, so the Indian legend goes, the father of all spirits, standing on mountain, shot an arrow near his fathers tepee. The prophecy as interpreted by the medicine men is that he would live forever. and assist the gods in their councils. The aged Indian is chief tain of his tribe and in his younger days was a great huntsman. He has killed 5000 buffaloes
