CRUSHED. BY JUNK IRON.

Victim In a Car Released When Cries
Attracted Train Crew.
Lafayette, Ind.-When a westbound
Wabash freight train was passing
through Lafayette recently the shrieks
Of a man in distress were heard, and
the train was brought to a standstill.
When the train crew Investigated it
was found that James Fisk of Spring
field, Mass, aged twenty-four, had be-
come imprisoned in a car of loose junk
iron.
Fisk had been "beating" his way on
the train, and a short time before the
cries were heard the train had broken
in two. When the cars came together
with a crash a mass of junk iron slid
over on top Of Fisk's legs. At the time
he was sleeping in the end of gon-
dola car, and it was impossible for him
to free himself. He could not be res
cued until the car had been bumped
several times to jar the mass Of iron
away from his legs. He was taken to
the hospital in terribly crushed condi-
ton. His cries aroused hundreds Of
people from their sleep. It is probable
he will recover.

Body to Be Exhumed In Search For
Woman's Wealth.
st. Louis, Mo.-Charles Kroener Of
Detroit will have the body Of Miss
Elizabeth Hauck exhumed at Alton to
look for money which he thinks she
may have concealed in her wooden leg.
When she died, Sept. Is, $500 was
found in her clothing. Kroener, who
was Der guardian, thinks she must
have had more money than that.
Kroener also doubts whether the
finding of the coroner's jury that she
killed herself is correct. He is max
ing an investigation aud will place evil
dence in the hands Of the state attor-
ney and ask him to take action.
Miss Hauck was thirty five years old.
She was formerly in the millinery bust
ness in st. Louis, at California avenue
and Arsenal street. She set herself
up in business with part Of the $1,000
she received from a railroad company
for the loss Of her leg twenty years
ago. On account Of failing health she
stored her millinery stock and went to
Alton.

Jefferson .Swears That 10 tho Way His
Wife Got Money From Him.
Pittsburgh.-1t behooves all married
tightwads who wear false teeth to be-
ware. Often the subject OF ridicule,
artificial teeth have at last been found
to serve a practical purpose in domes-
tic life.
Frank Jefferson in divorce court told
. narrowing story Of the manner in
which his wife had frequently forced
him to "come across" with money by
the simple expedient Of taking his
false teeth and hiding them.
The odd thing, to Jefferson's way of
thinking, was that even when he wax
ed angry his wife would refuse to re-
turn his teeth. Only Uncle Sans coin
OF tho realm would persuade her that
her husbands molars were essential
and necessary to his daily existence.
Mrs. Jefferson's side Of the case was
terse and to the point-her husband
had refused her the money she believ-
ed she was entitled to as lady of the
house. Consequently she took these
measures to get it.

GENERAL OREGON.

"42GNAAsAA OkS1S00SNs
Their minds never have been contami-
mated by any outside influences. They
are brought up aloof from the world.
They never see their sweethearts ex-
cept in the presence Of the duenna.
That is perfectly right, according to
my ideas. It precludes the possibility
Of temptation"
pardon me, sonora, but were you
courted under those conditions?"
Eyes; General Obregon never saw me
alone until after he married me-"
"Do you believe General Obregon
eventually will become master of Mex
ico?"
II not only hope he will, but I be-
heve he will. l have perfect faith in
my husbands star"
did you marry General Obregon be-
cause he is hero who appealed ro-
mantically to your imaglnationY'
II married him because loved him."
replied Sonora Obregon simply.
"How long do you think it will be
before he attains supreme power in
Mexico?"
II cannot even guess"
HAS there been quarrel between
General Obregon and President Car
ranza?'
"None whatever. There has not been
even the slightest friction. They are
in perfect accord. I have no idea where
that story started"
"Do you believe in suffrage for Mex
ican womenY
NO." was the prompt answer. II do
not disbelieve in it for American wo-
men, for I hardly think Mexican wo-
men are ready for it. Mexican women
have their own problems. Suffrage is
not yet one of them. Perhaps some day
we may want the vote.
II cannot imagine our gentle Spanish
women fighting for the. ballot as the
Anglo-Saxon women do. It is contrary
to their natures. They are gently bred
and nurtured. However, one never can
tell what the turn of the wheel will
bring. Our Mexican women have
plenty of fire and spirit. Some day
they, too, may fight for equality with
men,"
"What are the present problems of
Mexican women"
ITO make their homes beautiful and
attractive, to make their husbands hap
py, to rear their children to be fine men
and women"
Els not that the duty Of women ev.
erywherey'
perhaps, but it is peculiarly the
problem of women of the Spanish
races. They are raised with such a
vastly different point of view regard
ing men than that Of the women of the
races of northern climes. Men are to
them superior creatures. That is Span
lsh tradition. It's shackles bind closely.
whether men are our superiors or
not, they are at least stronger. Their
position in the social scale is that of
our protectors. They make the home
for us. We beautify it,

contradistinction to the woman who
takes part in public affairsr'
Eyes, yet both, suppose, have their

San Francisco.-1shi has been gath
cred to the land Of his fathers.
Last Of the Deer Greek Indians, tribe
of Yano, 1shi has gone to the happy
hunting grounds. He died at the UNI
versity of California hospital, a victim
Of the white plague" disease Of the
paleface.
For several months the aborigine,
who was captured in the wilds of
northern Butte county in the summer
Of 1911, had been In i'll health. A year
ago he developed acute lung trouble,
and at times he suffered greatly, bear
ing his pain with the stoicism Of his
kind.
Just few minutes before he passed
away Ishi joked with Curator Clifford
Of the affiliated colleges. At that time
he was in agony. Final relief came
with hemorrhage.
1shi, who never had seen any money
Of the white man until he was brought
into civilization. left what he consider
ed fortune in worldly goods-about
$3.50 and personal effects. With the
common desire Of all California In
dams, 1shi labored to accumulate
wealth. Unlike the members of most
tribes. whose standing is rated by
what they give away, Ishi, with the
characteristics of California and Brit
ish Columbia Indians, boarded his pen
MES, which he earned in various ways
His estate was taken in charge by the
public administrator.
1shi. living the life of a savage in
Butte county, stole calf in the sum-
mer of 1911, and officers Of the law
ran him down. They were amazed to
discover the thief was primitive
creature, clad in animal skins and
armed only with a bow and arrow.
The prisoner was taken TO the Butte
county Jail, and it was there that
T. T. Waterman, assistant professor in
anthropology, pronounced him to be
the only surviving member of the lost
tribe Of Deer Greek Indians Of the
Yano line.
The scientific world was greatly in
terested in Professor WaTermans an
nouncement, and Ishi became famous.
He was brought to this city and lodg-
ed at the affiliated colleges on Sept. 4,
1911. After months of patient effort
Professor Waterman was able to talk
with 1shi. What he learned from the
captive left no doubt in his mind that
1shi really was the last Of the savage
tribe of Deer Creek.
Ishi adapted himself to the ways of
the white man. He built himself a
home on the grounds of the affiliated
colleges, where he was the object Of
much curiosity. He attended lectures
by Professor Waterman and other sa-
wants Of the State university.
In May, 1914, Ishi took DR.. A. L..
Kroeber, head Of the affiliated colleges
museum, and DR.. Saxton T. Pope to
Butte and showed them his former
haunts, reverting to his skins and
bows and arrows. The report of DR..
Koeber and DR.. Pope confirmed the be-
lief Of Ishi's descent.
