Chippewa Judas Busy

James l. Coffey, of Washington,
D. c., the Chippewa Judas and
willing tool of the Indian Bureau,
favored White Earth with a deluge
of dirty rot in the form of a
circular letter on Saturday last.
As usual it was an insulting tissue
of lies regarding Webster Balm
ger and everyone else who has
incurred the epmity of his pet and
supporter-the Indian Bureau. and
takes occasion to inform all he
addressed that the editor of The
Tomahawk was lacking in intelli-
gence. Well, perhaps we are, we
have never laid claim to possessing
any great amount of intelligence,
but at that we have James l. beat
a mile. We don't know who pre-
pared the filthy circular which is
signed by Cotfey, but of one thing
we are certain, and this is that
James l. Coffey has not the
intelligence to prepare it, it has
all the ear marks of coming from
others than Coffey notwithstapd.
ing it is signed by him. AS with
all communications from this
rat faced Judas to the Chippewas
interests, those who received them
paid not the slightest attention to
them, merely consigning them tc
the waste basket.

 Dave Black and Jake Volmer finish ed the work for Parker and Carlson. who returned to town a few weeks ago. Bedrock was found to be down about fifty feet. Dave Black on his own claim is now down about fifty feet, and is still sink ing. His claim is located about a quar- ter of mile above the Johnson and Mcdowell ground
 William Gobracht, the original dis coverer of the Salchaket, is sending down his third shaft. His work has been somewhat delayed by the break ing of boiler. Roy Ferguson, located about one mile above discovery, is down twenty feet. MT. Ferguson found some gold in the first ground below the muck and seems to be encouraged over his discovery.
 George Weber and Dan Sandman hit water in the four different holes they have sunk. They are still trying to locate frozen ground where a shaft can be put down.

Dr. Baerg said:
 Mature has, in emphasizing the pincers, neglected the posabdomen and the sting, so that the scorpion has almost forgotten how to use the latter. It will attempt to sting only when the pincers cannot be used.
 "The scorpion, after much coax ing, tried seriously to sting me. All of four attempts failed, although an appreciable quantity of poison was deposited on my small finger. The poison has a dilute, milky ap- pearance and no taste.
 Tt did not occur to me until la ter that the weakness of the scorpion is no serious obstacle in the making of these tests. Grasping the SCOT pion by the postabdomen, the sting is easily driven through the skin. This I did twice, and the small drops. of poison in the punctures in dicate that the procedure is quite adequate The pain resulting from the sting was very slight and dis appeared in a few minutes The punctures were visible for several hours There was no inflammation or other effects of the poison"

LETS SCORPION
 POISON HIM TO
 FURTHER STUDY
ARKANSAS "U" MAN GOES TO PANAMA CANAL TO MAKE
 OBSERVATIONS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 22.- Would you journey all the way te the Panama Canal Zone for the ex press purpose of knowingly and in tentionally permitting centipedes scorpions, tarantulas and other sup posedly poisonous creatures to bite you just to see the effect of theil poisons?
 This is exactly what was done by Dr. w. J. Baerg, entomologist, Col lege of Agriculture, University o1 Arkansas, as given in a paper read before the Chronological Society oi America last week.
 Observations of the effect of the poison of one species of centipede two species of scorpions and two species of tarantulas were made after permitting these supposedly poisonous arthropods to bite him on the hand.
 One of the believed by Dr. Baerg to be one of the SO called "banana-spiders' brought to the United States in shipments ol bananas-was permitted first to bit rats and guinea pigs. This tarantula has a reputation of be ing more deadly than rattlesnake
 Tt was, therefore, with a good deal of pleasure that I began to in. quire into the effects of the poison, Dr. Boerg said.
