looking for him! They would have
been right about 1t. No one could

Stories of
Great Scouts

HOW "LIVER-EATIN'" JOHNSON
GOT HIS NAME

GOT HIS NAME
Among the scouts who were with
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, when that Of
fcer inflicted his crushing defeat up
on the Sioux chief, Crazy Horse. at
the battle of Wolf Mountain, Mont,
In 1877 was one bearing the strange
name of 'Liver-Eatin'" Johnson.
johnson was a powerful Norwegian,
weighing more than 300 pounds and
standing six feet, three inches In his
mo~ccasin-clad feet. He had a great
shock of golden hair of which he was
very proud-so much so, that ne
refused to wear a hat, and when he
went into battle with this golden
name In the wind. he looked like an
ancient Morse viking.
Johnson had won his name In a
gruesome way. Two stories about this
are told, differing slightly in detail.
but agreeing In the main facts. One
tells how a party of Indians had
raided a trading post on the Mussel.
shell River, but were driven off with
heavy loss. 1t is said that Johnson,
In a spirit Of devilish bravado, cut
out the livers Of several Of the dead
warriors and actually ate them.
The other story seeks to justify
Johnson's act. A Cheyenne chief had
raided and burned JohnsOn's camp
while he was away on a trapping ex-
petition. When he returned and saw
the ruins, he swore that he would
kill the Cheyenne and eat his liver.
Later he made good his threat. Either
account may be correct, so far as
details are concerned. At any rate,
he was ever afterward known as
silver Eatin'" Johnson.
Johnson's inseparable companion
was TX" Beidler of Montana vigilante
fame. Beidler disapproyed Of John
sons lack of headgear and called him
a "yaller-headed I%njun." because, as
he said, every decent white man
wears some sort O. coyerin' for his
scalp" But johnson was firm In his
convictions, and in the fight with
Crazy Horses Sioux he justified him
self--to his own satisfaction, at least.
As Beidler and Johnson charged UP
the snow-clad slopes of Wolf noun
tain that morning against entrenched
Indians, a bullet cut a furrow through
Liver Eatin's hair, "like a pair Of red
hot sheep shears" as he said.
"Now you seer" he exclaimed to
his "pardner." IF I'd had a hat on,
it'd bin plumb rulnedl"
Little is known of Johnson's later
history. He was a scout at Fort Gus
ter 1881, when the s~ung chief Sword
Bearer tried to stir up the Crows
against the whites and secuted for
the troops during that brief war.
After that he seems to drop out Of
history.

CRADLE pF THE HUMAN RACE
Seems to Be Ample Proof That Mid Asian Plateau Was the Original
 Emigration Point.

Somewhere on the lofty mid-Asian plateau, scholars tell us, was the re- zion whence the human race dis persed and was distributed. If the theory seems to cynics a little like a sentimental engraving, we have to trust the authorities. At any rate, in that now thinly populated district are the relics of early civilizations, earlier than any now known to history. It Is significant that the most ancient civ ilized countries that we know, Baby lonia, Chaldea and their successors and rivals, the peoples of the far-off foretimes in Asia Minor, Egypt, India, China are the frontiers or extensions of this central area, whence wave after wave of invasion has flowed im- memorially. Man in the hunting stage has to follow the game for his food and his clothes. Therefore 1t is probable that Central Asia was the old home whence emigrated mammals whose descendants now live in other regions.

COURT ADJOURNMENT

The jurors drawn for the special session of the superior court for the purpose of trying the two criminal cases, last week, have been excused until the regular term of the court in October. The calling of the jurors in the usual way will be obviated by the court ordering the jurors to- ap- pear at specified time, at which time the business of the court at which jury trials have been demanded will be convened. Quite a number of causes are on the calendar for trial on the civil side of the docket and these will be cleaned up so far as possible.

Old EngIand's Twelfth Might.

Twelfth night is time-honored fes- tval in England, the chief feature of the evening being the cutting of a cake containing various small articles of special meaning. The incompar- able Pepys rarely fails to make spe. cial reference to the date in his diary. He. has been to see Twelfth Night' and finds 1t but silly play, not re- lating at all to the name or day" At another time his wife and her com. pany stay up all night to celebrate, but he merely chooses his piece of cake and goes to bed. Again he at. tends great dinner on twelfth night, and as his piece of the cake contains a clove, "the mark of the knave," he slyly manages to stuff 1t into the slice taken by another man. A year or so later he, celebrates the date with a simply gorgeous tihe at his own house, his guests staying all day and until midnight. He says: "In the evening l did bring out my cake-a noble cake-and there cut 1t into pieces with wine and good drink. And so we were mighty merry till 1t was midnight; and, being moon. shine and fine frost, they went home, l lending some of them my coach to help to carry them"

 New thickeners and filters are being installed in the mill at the Dean mine in the Wallapai range and when in commission will give the plant a daily ore-reduction capacity of 70 tons. The addition of the filter-press will allow the reuse of water and en- able the management to operate the mill "A hours daily. It will also make possible larger saving of precious metal values. The mill heads are av- eraging about $21 silver-gold a ton. With the new equipment in commits sion a carload of concentrates having a value of $250 ton will be shipped to shelter every ten days. The Dean mine is one of a number of Mohave county properties that is making good under the spur of new management and modern mining and milling appli- ances. A large tonnage of milling ore has been blocked out in the mine and about 4500 tons of ore is already broken down and awaits reduction.
