SIOUX CHlEFTAIN'S HEIRS
SEEKING HIS BANK DEPOSIT
Think Little Crow Put $4,000 in st.
Paul Bank Years Ago.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Sept 23.-Heirs
of Little Grow. the Sioux chieftain, cred
tied with being the brains" of the Sioux
outbreak in 1862, are in st. Paul trying to
locate deposit Of $1,000 in gold made by
Little Crow In a st. Paul bank in 1851
Mrs. Jane Williams, of Granite Falls,
Mimi, daughter of the chieftain, and
her daughter, Miss RebeSah wiliams are
looking the matter up. and Miss Williams
called at the State Capitol yesterday, Wis
iting the Governors office and the Attor-
ney General and comforting with X. l.,
Holcomb of the state Historical Society.
The $4,000 was paid to Little Grow for
being the first Indian to sign the treaty Of
1861, which coded large part of Mime
sofa to the whites. on the advice of Gem
eral III. II. Siblcy he put the money in q
bank. IT is believed that he spent about
500 of 1t for horses, guns, etc. but that
he had balance of $500 to his credit
when the outbreak came. From that time
Little Crow was an outlaw, and though
he escaped the general roundup in 1852

LOUIS PHILIPPE cHANGELING7
Here's a Tale for Those Who Delight
In Dynastic Mysteries.

Those who are interested in dynastlo
intrgues, and in stories, true or other-
wise, OF lest daupbins and of czars who
did not die when reputed, but became
holy hermits, will he interested In q new
ly published volume, entitled THE Secret
of Louis Philippe" by Maria Stella
0.ady Newborough), which is translated
from the French by Harriet NJ. Capess
with an Introduction by N. d'Agen and -
published by Mcbride. Mast & Co.
The book consists OF claims or alleged
proofs that he who is known to history as
Louis Philippe, the bourgeois king of
France was not i'm reality the son of his
putative father, Philippe Egaite. but was
the son of an italian named Chiappini,
and was exchanged in infancy for the
daughter who was born at the same time
to the wife of Philippe Egalite during an
italian tour. This daughter, who was
baptized by her supposed parents Ma
ria pctronlla. was later forced into a
marriage with an elderly English noble-
man, Lord Marlborough. But she spent
tho greater part OF her life in an en-
dcavor to cause hcr baptismal certificate
to be rectihed. and in the preparation of
these memoirs, which are now translated
and which are declared to have created
a great sensation when they first APP
pcared, nearly 10 years ago. It is asserted
that vigorous efforts were then made to
suppress them, and that all or nearly all
Of the copies were bought up by agents
of the Orleans family.

Medawakanton Sioux, but was regarded
as the real leader Of the outbreak.
The daughter and granddaughter
have no record of the deposit, and they
say papers showing where IT was made
are in the hands OF a relative. Henry
Westman, OF the Santee agency in Ne
braska. Mrs. Williams has tried to get
them, but he refuses TO give them up.
The Indian woman who carried the gold
to the bank when II was deposited still
lives in Canada, II is said.
~ don't sec any chance for you to
get the money" Mr.. Holcomb told Miss
williams. None Of the banks that was
in existence then is here now. They
are all out of business. and I don't be-
lieve there Is any way OF getting that
$500"
MAYBE not" said Miss williams, but
just little while ago we received
money that was due us on payments
before the outbreak. II had been held
up all this time and we are hoping now
that Congress will give us a right to
claim our annuities for all the years
since 1862. which would amount to about
Si.O0OOOO for the survivors of the tribe.
Maybe there Is some way to get this
money that belonged TO my grand
father"
Payments due the tribes that fought
the whites were all stopped after the
outbreak, on the ground that the In
dians had forfeited their treaty rights,
but Congress Is now considering res
tituton to this generation, on the ground
that the sins of the fathers should not
be visited on the children.

LORD KITCHENER,
BRITONS' WAR IDOL,
IN PEN PICTURE
Hero of khartoum, Recon-
queror of Soudan, Is Grim,
Decisive, aVeritable War
Machine"

The eyes of all England are focused at
izer of victory" who stands today in SUI
preme command of the destinies of the
British land forces both as secretary of
war and as commander-in-chief of the
army.
Earl Kitchener, says Worlds Work, is
a tall man, 81 years old, with heavy gray
moustache and wavy gray hair. which he
wears parted in the middle. He has a
sunburnt, determined-looking face, large
steel-blue eyes, and square jaws.
Until the events of the moment, Kitch-
ener has never commanded against the
organized army of any Power of the
first rank, but he is probably the best
known military leader in Europe. He
was born in County Kerry, in 1850, of
English parentage. He was educated at
the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich
and entered the British army when 81
years of age, receiving commission in
the Royal Engineers. Offered a post un-
der the Palestine Exploration Fund, he
spent some years in Palestine, and was
employed to make a survey of the Island
of Cyprus.
When Lord Wolseley waged the cam
paign of Tel-el-Kebir in 1882, Kitchener
was given command of the Egyptian cav
airy. Then. from 1854 to 1855, he was with
the Nile Expedition. He commanded at
Suakm in 1897 and he succeeded Sir
Francis Grenfell as Sirdar in 1890.
Kitchener stepped into world fame and
into the heart of every Englishman in
1896. 1t was then that he began the re-
conquest of the Soudan. and two years la
ter the Soudan was conquered. There
upon, he was promoted to the rank of
major-general, received a grant of $780,
600 with the thanks of Parliament, and
was raised to the peerage. Thereafter he
was popularity referred to as Kitchener
OF Khartoum.
The days of glory for Kitchener came
again in 1899, when he was sent to South
Africa as chief of staff with Lord Rob-
crts. How he finished the Boer War, how
he arranged the Peace of VereeniginE
and how he came home to be made Wis.,
count, with the thanks of Parlia ment and
n grant of $4,000 are all matters of
recent history. From 1902 to 1909 he was
commander in chief in India, and after
that returned to Egypt in the capacity of
British agent and consul general at Cairo.
thus returning to the scene of his first
.rlumphs.
Kitchener of Khartoum has proved his
mettle in many and varied capacities. He
Is one of those remarkable Englishmen
whose mission 1t Is TO rule countries which
have come under British dominion during
the extension of worldwide empire.

CURIOUS DAMAGE SUITS
Actions Against Railway Companies
Have Odd Features.

curious case against railway came
| up recently. While seated in a railway
| waiting room woman fell backward
| through the railing of a bench. She
| sued the railway for $500 damages The
| bench itself was brought into court as
| evidence. In order to discredit the wom'
| ans story physician of repute, in the
| service of the railway, took his seat OF
| the bench. To the surprise of the court
| and doubtless to himself, he landed heav-
| lily on the floor; $500 was immedia tely
awarded to the plaintiff, The doctor then
sued the railway for $4,000 for personal
| injuries received in the court. The case
think, is still pending.
In some suits that have been brought
against railway companies 1t Is very
puzzling to know on which side justice
lies; even the claim agents themselves
| are occasionally bafned. A curious case
| In point is as folloWs
Some time ago young woman OF un-
| questioned respectability was on her way
to meeting of a grange In a certain
village. In crossing the tracks at the rail-
way station, at a point where, perhaps,
there should have been some kind of
board walk, she fell, and received a
slight injury to her knee. She then PRO
ceeded to the meeting OF the grange,
where she took a prominent part in a
thatrical performance. She complained TO
The next morning, however she
thought that she could not move her leg,
and consequently remained in bed. Weeks
passed, and then months without the
slightest change in her condition. Final
ly in order To avoid expensive litigation
the claim agent made her an offer of
5000 in settlement of the case. The offer
was declined. For six months the woman
remained in bed, without showing the
slightest inclination TO exert herself
Meanwhile the railway authorities had
consulted number of prominent physi-
clans. Some form OF hysterla, - said
most of them. On the other hand the
most noted specialist on such matters
in the State said, Pure humbuE; nut a
mouse i'm the bed"
Presently another woman appeared on
the scene. She just happened TO be Visit
ing some friends in the vicinity. She soon
made herself known in useful and pleas
ant ways TO the villagers. In the course
OF time she was introduced to the bedrid-
den woman. An intimacy between the
TWO women sprans up, and the newcomer
was able to observe every detail Of
speech and movement of the invalid
Finally the investigator for the railway
drew up her report and Informed her en-
ployers that the paralysis OF the mind or
leg was genuine, ana that in her opin-
lon the woman was absolutely honest.
The railway settled at once for $500
Naturally this peculiar case attracted
considerable attention. AS soon as Il
was known that the woman had money
10 spend, she was showered with reme-
dies, At last she bought an electric belt.
AFTER wearing Il while, she regalned the
use OF her leg' and in very few days
was Wen Furthermore, such faith did
she place in the belt that she immsdists-

Contrasts Between Capitals.


The contrast between London and Paris
in wartime is astonishingly great, says
the New York Tribune. How Paris goes

there is much cheer and entertainments

special war news indicated to the audi

Because (as we believel a nation needs
A temper and support in times of strain,
Beauty for solace when the spirit bleeds.
Laughter for respite to the weary brain.
OF course, the chief explanation lies In
the fact that France is invaded and Paris
threatened while England sits at ease
behind her fleet. Also the stake in the
case OF France is existence itself, and her
whole male population strong enough to
be of use is under arms. England's stake
is large and her proposed army OF 400
600 men is a huge one. Even so, hers il

tragedy as in France.
