TEKOA, Wash, August THE mu-
tual respect of two picturesque Indians
for the courage and craftsmanship OF
each other caused an unusual man
hunt in the Nicotine Valley, near here,
today to turn into game Of watchful
waiting.
On one side was Charles Cherrapin,
a well educated, prosperous Indian who
grows wheat on a Federal land allot-
ment In the Occur d'Alene Reservation
of Idaho. Cherrapin is wanted for the
murder Of his wife, Mary, who, officers
said, returned to him after having
eloped two years ago with Victor Lee,
q Montana Indian.

! Reservation officers said Cherrapin
had told his wife that he would kill
her if she ever returned to him. She
came back Monday, they said, and
Cherrapin kept his vow, shooting her
four times in the back.
Cherrapin, we'll armed. fed. Hart
organized a posse and went in pursuit,
informing his men that Cherrapin
probably would shoot to kill If caught.
Hart tracked Cherrapin to the for
ested valley yesterday. There he stopped
his own posse and another led by Sheriff
Ira Horn of Benewah County, Idaho. The
Indian officer declared Cherrapin car
ried a rifle, pistol and 100 rounds OF
ammunition and would rather die than
be arrested"
The posses then settled down to a
game Of waiting. Hart believes hunger
will force Cherrapin to come out Of the
forest that hides him.

ably be placed north of the PennSyl-

planned. The additional nine holes, for
future development, could be laid out
in the area north Of the Pennsylvania
Avenue Bridge.
Work to Start Next Year.
Work on this new course, which had
Professionally been set to start this fiscal
year, will be put over until next year, as
part of the ground upon which the
course is to be constructed has not yet

ton of Maj. Brehon Somervell, Dis

has been at work improving this poten-
tial parkland along the AnacoStia
marshes for some years.
Col. Grant said that 1t has been de-
cided to wait until next year before

order to insure proper funds for seeding
purposes and laying out an attractive

course will be layed out in the direction.
of Fort Du Pont.
Other Site Considered.
Some attention had been given to
having the proposed golf course ex-
tend southwark in the general direc-
ton Of Boiling Field, through the area
officially known as section c, which ex-
tends down from the Anacostia Bridge.
Examination disclosed that this lay
out necessitated short holes and bad
crossing plays and this proposal has
been practically abandoned by Col.

Section D, which lies between the

sports, such as base ball and tennis, In
the opinion of the park officials, so that
the proposed golf course will occupy
only portion of this section Of the
park.
The sections of improved land north
of the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge are
soon to be turned over by Maj. Somer-
