INDIAN MIKES STORY

The LovelOck Tribune In its ac-
count of the arrest of Indian Mike
and his son, who were wanted in
California for killing an officer,
gives the follwing as Mikes YER
sion of the trouble:
Mike with his family, moved
from the locality where they
lived, down in the vicinity of
White Falls. He moved down
there to get work as a wood chop
per and also in order that his
daugter who was ill might get
medical treatment.
One day he had occason to go to
town to get some supplies and he
took his deaf and dumb son along
with him He was in a store
purchasing some provisions while
his son was outside. a boy of
the town, about the same size as
Mikes boy. by the name of Rod
erick Macarthur, began teasing
the Indian boy whose nane is Will
son and bantering him to fight.
When Mike came out of the store
it made him angry to see this and
he pushed young Macarthur aside
roughly. He then took his boy
and they started for their wagon.
After they got in the rig, someone
shot with % rifle, but Mike de-
clares that it was neither ne nor
his son, since neither had any
firearms whatever. They con-
tinued home unmolested. Two
days later they decided to return
to their old stamping grounds in
the northern part of the county.
AS they were passing along the
road they were suddenly held up
by the deputy sheriff and another
man. The deaf and dumb boy had
a gun in his. hands, with which he
was shooting rabbits as they went
along. When the officers COM
manded them to halt all of the
occupants put up their hands ex-
cspt the deaf boy, who did not see
them. AS he turned around TO
investigate the cause of the sudden
stop, the officers probably presum-
ed he was turning around to shoot.
At any rate, they both opene fire,
and the 'eaf boy was shot though
the nose. his daughter was fatally
wounded and one of the horses
killed. The deaf boy, wounded,
angered and surprised at once,
opened fire and sho the deputy
inflicting a wound from which the
latter died the next day. The
Indian boy then ran, and was fol-
lowed for miles by his father who
tracked him by the blood that
flowed from his wounded nose.
Thereafter. according to Mike, his
blight from the locality where he
had lived, was solely because his
son would not remain. And the
father followed the son, being un-
able to convince him that the bet
ter method was to surrender to
the authorities. The mute was
afraid he would not get justice at
the hands of the white men, who
had shot him without provocati. n.
When Mike and the boy arrived
in the Lovelock valley they were
in destitute circumstances, but
managed to get enough to eat by
selling their shot guns, ard some
quirts they had made.
They did not present the sight of
blood thirsty Indians, when inter-
viewed at tho Jail. The half
witted boy, deaf, dumb and nearly
blind, presented an object of pity,
rather than one of RIGHTEOUSNESS. ~

Bio Maine Salmon.

What is supposed to be the largest
landlocked salmon ever taken with
hook and line from a Maine lake or
pond was caught Saturday morning
Mt Greene lake by Luther Moore, an
employee Of the United States gov.
eminent fish hatchery, and weighed
1871 pounds.
Nothing to equal this for a salmon
has ever been heard of In eastern
Maine. and so far as known now Il Is
the biggest on record. One Bangor
man said Sunday that he had heard
of one weighing Is pounds being
caught with hook and line at Greene
lake. but that was in the dim and
misty past.-Kennebec Journal.

This afternoon Charles Stein,
a painter, was found dead in his

was the cause of his demise. He
came to Tonopah about nine years

since coming here. A divorced

If Constable Wolf succeeds in
collecting the 81 900 reward offered
by California authorities for the
capture of Big Mike, the Indian
and his son, Commissioner Stoker
will probably credit the loss side
of his ledger with that amount.
These Indians were camped on the
lower land holdings of the Big Five
ranch for several weeks and Mr..
Stoker saw them almost daily as
he pa ssed back and,forth, in 'his
work as superinten dent for the
big ranching corporation. He
could easily have invited them to
take a ride to town and that Brush
automobile would have been paid
for by this idea Lovelock

NO TRACE OF SCOTT AT POLE
Amundsen Admits il is Possible That

Pole, But Hardly Probable.

New York.-A Times special from
Hobart. brings the news that CAPTAIN
Amundsen has been induced to discuss
the question OF whether 1t is likely he
was preceded by Captain Scott to the
pole. Captain Amundsen is quoted as
saying:
saw no traces whatever showing
that Captain Scott had been at the
pole. but it is possible that he had
been there. and had left some unsub-
stantial memorial which had afterward
been destroyed by the storms.
The chances. however. are heavily
against this theory. for during the
three days | was there the weather
was calm and still and think that is
the prevalent condition There was
nothing but the vast level plains OF
snow, and hence there was no posi-.
bility OF erecting permanent cairn of
stones.
The season was very favorable
and therefore 1t is exceedingly likely
that Captain Scott did reach the nols
later If not sooner than myself I most
sincerely hope he did arrive there. 70,
he well deserves success"
