Sexton Defies Ghosts
In Old MausoIeum

Tuscaloosa. Ala.--"Old Ike" a
negro sexton in a Tuscaloosa
cemetery, was not superstitious.
That seems to have been proved
with the recent demolition Of a
mausoleum here.
When the vault fell into de-
cay, weird happenings were re-
lated, and 1t was pointed out
as a place where ghosts con-
gregated. 1t was Stunned ex-
cept by "Old Ike" the only
name by which he was known.
There was a hole in the wall,
and when Ike discovered 1t. he
decided to utilize the place for
storing his pick, shovel and
other tools. He Is credited with
saying that he never lost a tool.

indian PLEADS
FOR FISH RIGHTS
Aged Chief Recalls Treaty Made
With the Governor of Wash
ington in 1855.
CHEE2ED BY LEGISLATORS
Protests Against Disregard OF Fact
Which Recognized Right OF 'hdi-
ans to Take Salmon in the
Yakima River.

Olympia, Wash.-Sixty- years
ago in the spray of Prosser falls, an
Indian chief and the then governor
of Washington respectively pledged
their people to abide by a pact.
Tins pact recognized the perpetual
rights Of the Yakima tribe to hsh
where from time immemorial the req
man had taken his salmon.
The Indians had been reluctant, say
ing to Gov. Isaac |. Stevens, put
when YOU are dead, who will bear
witness to your promisesT' And the
governor had replied: N
al pledge the Americans to keep the
PROMISES us long as the mountains
stand. as long as the sun shines ana
the river runs!
Calling upon these mute witnesses
and summuning the spirits of the dead,
Chief MeninOck of tie Iakimas mas
lust made speech of protest at the
whites violation of that treaty, In the
state senate chamber here, which Is
the most dramatic recorded in Its
annals.
Boy When Treaty Was Made.
And that speech, which would do
credit TO the historic orators of his
race, with its sharp challenge to the
white mans honor, bids fair to correct
wrong the Indians had hitherto
borne in silence.
Mpninock was boy when the trea-
ty was made. He had stood attentive
" beside his father on that occasion.
Today he is 50, and wrinklcd. Much
water has run over lrosscr falls since
then, and the salmon have dwindled.
Also, the whites have enacted hsh ana
game laws which conflict so with the
treaty of 1850 that Meninock was
recently arrested for taking salmon
from the Yakima river.
A few days ago Chief Meninock ana
other tribal leaders, together with
their wives and children, appeared ut
