cabin located on a homestead in Wild
Horse Canon, some $50 miles south
west of Lincoln. Two years after the
advent Of Luther the boys mother
died. It was then that the elder Nc
Carly took up the life that has been
so picturesque. He took on the guise
hof an Indian, calling himself "Chief
White Eagle, and became q street
fakir and medicine vender. His trav-
els have taken him into every state
In the union, Canada and Mexico.
Seven years ago, thee McCartys came
to Sydney, o., living there three years
before coming to Piqua, where they
now reside.

Luther and his father intimately, tells
story that throws some interesting
side lights on the picturesque pair. Re-
lates this friend:
Last summer there appeared in the
smaller cities and towns and villages
of southern Ohio a street fakir of the
old school. He looked like an Indian,
was TALL massive and silent He car

Mike Gibbons is taking life very
: quietly at st. Paul these days, but ac-

ne is just aching to get his fingers on
Eddie McGoorty again. Eddie admits
Mike was too wary OF the Oshkosh boy

SOUTH DAKOTA MAN Y
FOUND PEARL SOLD
TO GREClAN QUEEN
Trapper Gets Many Trophies in
Yard Where Hogs Had Been
Feeding on CLAIMS.

Yankton, s.. D., Dec. 6.-The prosy
old "Jim" river. which the records hold
should be called the Dakota river. Is
coming into the limelight for valuable
pearl deposits. Fred Huber was In
town yesterday exhibiting q number Of
specimens which he found. and which
1t Is claimed are worth at least S70O.
He said he would not sell at n q
figure.
Huber's collection is the best seen
here since the display shown around
town by William H. Behrens. Of Violin.
an eccentric trapper. Behrens GER
tainly had the pearls and sold most OF
them at fair prices. although he claims
that the dealers made most Of the
profit even at that.
One magnificent pearl. which Beh-
ren knew to be of exceptional value,
was sold by him for $50. 1t changed
hands several times and finally reached
Queen Olga. Of Greece. at q price that
makes Behrens sick every time he
thinks Of a pearl.
Behrens got his pearls by picking
them up in a Mennonite colony hog
yard. The Mennonites. during the
summer, scooped up a large quantity
Of claims and fed them to their hogs
In his patient search Of the hog yard
Behrens got more pearls in a few
hours than he could nave secured in
many weeks Of catching and opening
clam shells.

Coroner Miller, of this city, sent the

for nearly a year has been the subject
OF gossip among the people residing in

obnoxious hat she finally was COM
PEELED to telephone to the city marshal.
The officer appeared on the scene just
as the masher was renewing his I'M
welcome attentions to the young
woman Instead Of running him in at
once the marshal seized him by the
collar Of his coat and administered a
number Of good kicks with the toe of
his boot. Then he released the masher
and escorted the young woman to her
home. Later the marshal decided the
masher had not been punished to the
extent he deserved, SO he arrested him
and PLACID him in Jail over night, and

GOVERNMENT SPENDS $500
FOR $50 LOAD OF COAL

Yankton, S. D.. Dec. 5.-The gov
ernment snag boat Mcpherson has just
passed up the liver from Sioux City
to Running Water, after a carload Of
coal left there. The trip is a unique
n for two reasons First, this is the
latest date in the year, in the history
Of Missouri river navigation, in which
a steamboat has gone up stream. In
the second place, it is unusual to send
out a big steamboat such a distance
at an expense of probably $500, to get
8 carload Of coal worth about $50.
Government red tape is given as the
reason for this special trip so late in
the ear. A cold snap now might freeze
the Mcpherson in, for what might
easily prove to be all winter, to say
nothing Of the risk Of even losing the
craft. as all familiar with the dangers
of the Missouri late in the season
agree.
