bound them with rope.
After tying Miss Wolfe, the Navajo
told her he loved her and when she
told him he would be killed by her
brother for so treating her, the In
dian threatened to take her life, and
told her he did not intend to be pun

Wolfe then appealed, to his love for
her and to his chivalry, asking the
Indian if the time had arrived when
an Indian would not be chivalrous to
the woman he loved, as would a
white man.
This caused the Navajo to release
Miss Wolfe and he walked two miles
of the eight toward the upper Wolfe
ranch with her. In leaving he Of
fered her an automatic pistol for pro-
lection during the remainder of the
trip, but the young woman refused
the weapon. The Indian then disap-

hurried to the upper ranch house
where she told her father, Jose
Wolfe, what had happened and also
warned him that Nelson had said he
would kill him if Wolfe stepped out
of the house during the night. On
going to the lower ranch house Sat"

a mass of charred ruins and finding
no trace of his brother or son, search

day he found their bodies in the can
yon. The Indians footprints revealed
that he had fled southwest toward
Arizona where his mother and other
relatives live near the Shiprock Nav

Over the week end, many volunteer
workers offered their services, in re-

Joynson- Hicks, the home secretary,
for aid in carrying on the vital serv-

union congress withdrew the permits

Perhaps the worst aspect of the

The doubt over news of Lieutenant
Commander Byrd's achievement rs
expressed by the papers, hinges on
his ability to reach the pole and to
return to Spitzbergen in Is IL hours.
Even with ideal conditions, precise
proof of the flight is needed, they
say
why didn't he continue to Alaska, -"
asked Giornale dItalia. "With ideal
conditions and machine of high
speed and large supply of gasoline
it would be easy to cover the 1900
kilometers (2,O62 miles) to Point
Barrow. Moreover, can the valorods
American prove scientifically that he
passed the mathematical point of the
pole?"
Even If Lieutenant Commander
Byrd's achievement is proven, the
newspaper says it would not be con-
elusive proof OF the superiority of
the airplane over the airship for
polar flying. The flight has not
accomplished the real purpose of mod
ern polar endeavors, namely, TO
demonstrate the possibility of an air
route between Norway and Alaska,

TEETH GROW PURPLE
IN RARE DISEASE

LONDON, April 9.-Professor J..
Bancroft, Fullerian professor of phys
iology, Royal Institution, lecturing
before the institution, said there were
at present at least three cases in
England of very rare disease in
which the patients suffered from the
pigment prOphyriu in the human sys-
TEN.
The prOphyrin was TO be found in
the teeth, the bones, and the skin.
The teeth were turned purple by the
disease, and the patients skin became
so sensitive that, out of doors, his
hands must be gloved and his face
covered by veil.
POrphyrin was discovered in hens
eggs, but it was not known whether
it came from the blood or was some
thing which leaked into the system as
blood was being made.

recollections of II. O. Walker. prob
ably the oldest active livestock market
reporter in the world. At Sc,
Colonel Timothy" is still going
strong; he writes three leads" a day
on an old double-deck typewriter and
is a general favorite with cattlemen,
packers and commission men at the
Fort Worth stockyards.
Walker was not christcned Timothy,
although few know it. Early in life
the Gaelicized saint-name was sub.
stituted for the "Theylman" his par.
ents bestowed on him in Claremont.
n. H., where he was born. He likes
it, for it suits him. He is news
paper man all the way through. He
published his own sheet, the Bloom
field UOwa) Democrat. for 20 years
and worked on two Iowa dailies. mt
burlington and Des MOines. and two
weeklies. at MarshaIltOwn and Eldora,
besides his own paper.
HE LIKED POLITICS.
Close to politics all his life. the
desire to enter never touched him.
He was reading clerk in the Forty
eighth Congress, was n collector of
internal revenue for six years, and
for p consecutive years was reading
clerk of the Iowa State Democratic
convention. He has been all over
North America. including Alaska ana
Honduras. The Associated Press has
carried his livestock reports since
the year Garfield was assassinated.
In that year he began covering the
stOckyards for the afternoon Associat-
cd Press member-the Fort Worth
Telegram. acquired in 1909 by the
Fort Worth Star, which is the Star
Telegram Of today. His earliest news
paper experience was with pulling

ton hand press. from which he rose
to president of the typographical union
here. serving three terms. His lin
side" newspaper experience in Fort
Worth was on the old Register, Of
which he was first editor.
IN STATE EARLY.
Longhorn steers were still arriving
occasionally at the Fort Worth stock
wards when Walker sold his Iowa
paper and landed here in the late 90's.
He saw several companies fail in the
effort To run packing house here.
l.. V. Niles, for whom Niles City,
now n part Of Fort Worth. was nam
ed. was the first man to demonstrate
that il could be done successfully.
Gradual but steady changes have
taken place in the character Of cattle
brought in since the establishment Of
the big packing houses here in 1902,
but the trend has been always up
ward, Walker observes. He has seen,
too. a gradual drift towards Here
fords. on account Of their ability to
forage and their quickfattening quail
tiles.

as pink tea; but he asks no odds
Of anyone He walks briskly without
the aid Of stick or cane and smokes
with zcst. His friends
sometimes have TO remind him Of his

DR.. BALL0U SLATED
FOR ANOTHER TERM
Re. election as School Head
June 2 Regarded as
"Mere FormaIity."

Dr. Frank w. Ballou, superintend-
ent of schools, is slated for reelection
for a new term of three years at the
next meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton to be held on Wednesday, June ?.
Edwin c. Graham. president of the
board, indicated last night that the
selection of DR.. Ballou to succeed
himself was "a mere formality" in
the minds of the members of the
board.
The term of DR.. Ballou expires on
June 80. and brings to close his
sixth year at the head of the public
school system. During DIR. Ballou' s
two terms the schools have developed
rapidly and his relations with mem-
bers OF the Board OF Education during
the past few months have been more
harmonious than have existed in the
history OF the school system
Notable achievements Of the Ballou
administrat tions have been the installa-
ton of the 6-3-3 plan, making the
junior high school an integral part
OF the school curriculum and the en-
actment OF the five-year building pro.
gram, which by 1881 is designed TO
bring the schoolhouse accommoda-
tions up to a peak where there will be
a seat for every school child.
