PASSES AWAY

CHESAw, Wash. Feb 5.-The
death OF Bull-of-the-Woods. one OF
the quaint old Indian characters of
the South Half. is reported from
Keller by J r. Sovereign.
BulI-ofthe-woods was known as

10 a river ride with his bride. when
their canoe was overturned and Bull
of-tbe-Woods' squaw was drowned.
The young buck was carried down
at The mercy OF the stream until his
long. dangling hair caught on snag
and held him above water until he
was rescued. Hence his vow never
to cut or comb his hair.

Immediately resign from the Cambria
