BBT HIS LIFE ON THE GAME.
A Giant Poker Player Who Lost and
Became a Practical Slave.
From the New York World.
,Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. s.—The pres
ence in this city the other day of an enor
mous negro named Jim Zeigler recalled as
Interesting a game of poker as was ever
played in this country. Jim is perhaps the
biggest man in the India-i Territory, being
six feet eight inches tall and weighing 284
pounds. Well proportioned, perfectly
erect, strong as an ox, this dusky Hercules
has for the past ten years commanded both
respect and admiration from half the Choc
taw nation. Over near Kully Chaha, where
he lives alone in a poverty-stricken old
dug-out, his half-breed, Indian and desper
ado neighbors call him Hauta-Kalauasa
(the Black Giant), and he is treated with a
deference consequent upon so meritorious a
title. Nobody knows where he came from,
nobody knows anything of his past life, but
of one thing all are certain—lie is a man to
avoid at all times. Gossip has it that at
one time he killed with his list three deputy
United States Marshals who had attempted
to arrest him for illegal liquor selling,
while another time he is said to have run
340 miles across i: to the Arapahoe country
to escape an armed posse of United States
officials. Be this as it may, Jim is today
untrammelled with governmental fetters,
and struts the Indian country with as much
freedom as the big chief of the Council.
Jim’s poker playing prowess is commen
surate with his size. He used to sit for w hole
days beside the rough Indian “saw-log"
■without a change of countenance, without
a sound save an occasional grunt of disap
pointment or approval without a thought
as to food, time or results. He played with
an earnest determination and grim reckless
ness that usually won and always excited a
suspicion among the Indians that the Black
Giant was bewitched. So deeply had this
suspicion taken root that no Indian would
play with him alone. The presence of
white men seemed to remove their fear, and
when the Ethiopian lost under such cir
cumstances it was due alone to the presence
of a Caucasian rival. His persistent
winning has won for him besides a
long “string,” eight deep scars. One
ot these, a bright red mark that stands out
with grotesque ugliness against his black
skin, extends from his right temple to the
corner of his mouth. This was presented
to him by an unsuccessful Cherokee Indian
about three years ago. Another gash, re
ceived at the hands of an infuriated white
woman in Tahlequah, sliced off half his
left ear. This combination of scars gives
him a demonical appearance which, added
to his tremendous stature, causes the aver
age Indian small boy to hide behind his
mother's apron or scamper off in the wild
est terror. It will be readily seen that
Zeigler is neither the beauty nor the pet of
liis community.
One evening about fourteen months ago
four Indians, one white man named Bud
Tucker and Jim himself met around the
saw-log at Jim’s camp to “go their luck.”
The game, as usual, was “hulla-ko-busko”—
poker. After the “okahoma” (whisky) jug
had been passed around the conventional
number of times loungers dropped iu to wit
ness the game. Caudles were stuck opposite
each man and the game started. Honors
were eveniy divided toward the first hour,
the Indians having a slight advantage.
Then by degrees luck turned Jim’s way.
Tow ard mianight his success continued, to
tlie evident chagrin of the Indians, who be
gan to mutter disappointedly as their
strings vanished. Bud Tucker, however,
played more earnestly than ever. He
never lost hope, but uow and then eyed his
brawny competitor with a hatred so
keen that the giant drew his next hand with
undisguised nervousness, scowling erstwhile
so avagely that the Indians became more
and more nervous, and finally dropped out
about 8 o’clock leaving the giant and Bud
facing each other to plav to a finish. As
the first streaks of daylight pushed their
way between the cracks in the side of the
uugout, the scene iuside became one of ter
rible earnestness. The two competitors
were beginning to show signs of their long
ci .ufmeraent. The spectators gazed on with
feverish interest, now and then uttering
guttaral exclamations of surprise at some
exciting point in the game. The candles
burned low, leaving long streaks of tallow
across the board, while card after card was
played between hands trembling from the
long and tirele s strain. The Black
Giant was stripped to the waist.
Huge drops of sweat stood
out on his knotted temples. His bloodshot
eyes gleamed ’furiously at the board on
which he now steadily and surely lost.
Tucker, small and wizened, lay prone on
the earth, too weak to sit up. Anon he Would
pull his long gray moustache, drink deep
draughts of okahoma, smiling meanwhile
at the disgust of his gigantic antagonist as
successive pots fell under the flap of his
bearskin saddle-bags. Zeigler, enormous
in stature and ferocious in despair, could
have reached across the log and killed
his small competitor with one blow of his
mammoth fist, yet he played on and on.
Knowing the tide had set against him, and
that he could not save himself from heavy
loss, iie awaited an opportunity to stake all
t hat was left, and win or lose by headlong
desperation. Toward noon about the
eiglneenth hour of the game, a very few
wrinkles disappeared from the giant’s face
ns he glanced over his hand, and a ray of
hope gleamed in bis yellow, bloodshot eves
as he watched Tucker’s next play. The
wrinkles returned with increased malignity
when Tucker refused cards and stood pat.
Big Jim drew two cards. Betting began.
After every chip had been laid on the log
t.he excitement of the half-breed spectators
found vent in uncontrollable cries of wonder
mixed with terror. Many of them instinct
ively moved toward the door as though
fearing that a lost hand on the giant’s part
would result in a general demolition of
everything inside the nut. Under the mask
of suppressed excitement worn by the two
playei-s there raged a tremendous struggle
lietween passions of scorn, determination
and deadly hatred. Huge knots stood out
upon the darkey’s head; perspiration
streamed from every pore of his
bared neck; his breath came hur
riedly and desperately and his
hands trembled like leaves. The white man
jerked his moustache with increased vigor,
und nerved himself into a half-crouching
posture, as though ready to spring at his
black competitor’s throat. The giant
wagered his clothes, his pistols, his Win
chester, his horse, and finally his house and
outlying claim, yet the gray-beard again
smiled and raised him. Without a mo
ment’s pause, Zeigler lnssol the startling
proposition that his life should back his
hand, and that if he lost he would serve his
vanquisher faithfully in any capacity he
should name. At the announcement of this
unprecedented stake a perfect howl of sur
prise went up from the onlookers, and be
fore it had died away the Black Giant was
a slave in the hands of his puny rival.
Zeigler held four queens, the white man
four aces. With one glance at his oppo
nent’s hand Tucker fell in a dead faint,
while Zeigler uttered a terrible curse, shud
dered from Head to foot, and stalked out of
the hut.
Prom that day to this he has served Bud
Tucker faithfully, and a quasi-friendship
has sprung up between master and slave.
Jim attends to Tucker’s farm, herds his
cattle aud acts as a whole armed posse in ter
rorizing the horse thieves of the surround
ing oountry, while in compensation he is
allowed to visit the village occasionally and
enjoy a few days of freedom. He is now
serving the third month of his seeoud year,
and, in conversation with your correspond
ent during his visit to town the other day,
he said that from the memorable day on
which he lost his life down to the present
time ho had neithev touched a card nor wit
nessed a poker game.

A FEMALE FERDINAND WARD.
Mme. La Touche, the Woman Banker,
Again in the Toils of the Law.
From the Philadelphia Press
New York, Dec. 8. —Marion La Touche,
the woman banker, whose peculiar methods
have again brought her under Inspector
Byrne’s guardianship, was the central figure
this morning in the Jefferson Market Police
Court. Mrs. Clara Johnson, who claims to
be a victim of the woman’s persuasive argu
ments to the amount of sloo, was a second
figure, and appeared more concerned than
did the so-called “female Ferdinand Ward.”
Mrs. La Touche is a tall, sharp-featured
blonde. Her career during the last seven
teen years has been full of variety, and she
is well known to the police. She has been
four times a wife, her name previous to the
present one being Marion L Dow, under
whioh her banking operations at her charm
ing apartments, 165 West Twenty-third
street, were conducted. She has live l in all
parts of this country, and in 1875, through
necessity was a resident of St John, N. B.
Then she came back to New York, settled in
Union Square, operated a while and disap
peared. When next heard of she was in a
Philadelphia prison.
Four years ago she re-established herself
in this city, opening a broker s office in
Thirty-seventh street. Her peculiar work
here led her again to prison, from where
she was liberated orily eight months ago. It
is since then that her swindling adver
tisements have appeared, and it is claimed
that she has duped confiding women to the
extent of many thousand dollars.
When she awoke in her ceil at police head
quarters this morning, she looked very lit
tle like the handsome woman arrested yester
day. A night in a cell had not proved
beneficial to her appearance. About 9:30
o’clock, witli a detective for a guide, she
started for the Jefferson Market Court. On
the way the pair stopped at a photograph
gallei y, where the banker was photo
graphed. She didn’t like the idea, aud
screwed her face into all kinds of wrinkles,
necessitating a second sitting. This time
she was advised to behave herself, ad she
did. Then the walk was resumed. In court
she seemed as bold and defiant as when ar
rested. She walked to Clerk Heimberger’s
desk with nonchalance, aud talked glibly' to
the detective. Her dress was elegant,
though quiet, her costume consisting of a
dark walking dress, close-fitting, dark
jacket, a pretty little drab, felt bonnet,
with a bunch of feathers to match for orna
ment, and plum-colored gloves.
She refused to talk until she hail seen her
lawyer. The latter, Joseph Stiner, was
busy with other cases when Madame was
being questioned, and she was at a loss what
to do.
“Is your name Marion L. Dow?” asked
the Clerk.
“Why, no; of course not.”
“What is it?”
“I refuse to answer.”
“Where do you live?”
“I don’t know.”
“And your occupation?’
“That is no affair of yours. Where is my
lawyer?”
“Will you sign this document?” asked the
Clerk, handing her a paper containg her
answers.
“But Dow is not my name,” she added;
“of course I won’t.”
But she changed her mind in a minute,
and signed “Marion L. Dow.” Then she
was told to step down. In a short time
Justice Gorman was ready to hear testi
mony.
The complaint chargee that the defandant,
by means of advertisements offering re
munerative positions to women, had attract
ed the attention of tne complainant. During
a visit to Mrs. La Touche the latter said to
her that for the consideration of S3OO she
would give Mrs. Johnson a S3O a week situa
tion in connection with the Stock Board.
The widow did not have the money, so she
offered all she possessed, $l5O. This Mrs.
La Touche took,’and Oct 17 engaged her at
a salary of $lO per week. The complaint
continues that since then only $5 all told
have been paid on the contract.
In the absence of ex-Senator Thomas F.
Grady the hearing was postponed until to
morrow and Mrs. La Touche committed to
prison in default of $2,500 bail.
Mrs. La Touche occupied a suite of rooms
at 165 West Twenty-third street. One
parlor was used as a reception room, and
the other was a purely business office. In
it were a telephone and a stock quotation
ticker, two revolving desks, complete files
of the daily papers and financial bulletins,
and a blackboard, on which the current
quotations were marked. The landlady said
the visitors seemed all to be “first-class
people.” Most of them came in carriages,
and some came two or three times a day.
They never gave their names or sent in
cards.
Some of Mrs. La Touche’s flowery adver
tisements were found m her office. One
read:
“A fortune in a few months. A splendid
opportunity for ladies with a few hundred
dollars to iuvast. The advertiser, a lady of
long experience in financial matters "and
unusual opportunities in Wall street, will
act for ladies only. Fifteen to 30 per cent,
per month guaranteed.
“Mme. La Touche,
“165 West Twenty-third Street.”
From papers found in her office it was
evident that Mrs. La Touche did business
with at least a score of brokers down town,
aud had from sixty to eighty regular cus
tomers. Her investments averaged from
S4OO to $1,300 each day.
A highly respectable broker placed money
in stocks on ' her account and said: “1
never saw any of Mme. La Touche's adver
tisements, and I had no idea but that she
was doing a perfectly legitimate business.
Of course, I did not know that she took the
money of these ladies and never paid them
when they made a profit on thair invest
ments. There is nothing unusual about
ladies speculating in stocks. One of the
biggest and wealthiest, brokers in town
operates for a hundred ladies every day,
and has made $3,000,000 out of women’s
trade alone. Mmo. La Touche used excel
lent judgment in her investments, and was
a match for the smartest men in the street.
She is a genius in everything connected
with money matters, and'could have gained
more money in a week by honest and fair
dealing tliau in years of questionable trans
actions.”
An Antique Weapon.
From the Sylvania ( da .) Watchman.
Mr. R. L. Singellton brought into the
Watchman office several days ago, a curious
old piece of.what must have been an an
cient implement of warfare, which he picked
up in front of the court house. It is evi
dently the barrel of an old pistol ot the flint
and steel kind, and has a muzzle almost
large enough for a rat .o crawl into. Tile
sight is still on the barrel, and also a little
hole in the side through which the
powder was ignited. This old weap
on has, perhaps, beau lying m
rusty and dusty obscurity for many
years. Perchance it was dropped by one of
Prevost’s British soldiers when they
inarched circuitously through Screven to
hem iu Gen. Ashs at Brier creek. Perchance
some pioneer hunter, as he stood amid the
forest’s growth where our court house now
stands, snapped and resnapped it) at some
playful squirrel that leaped from tree to
tree before him, and in disgust threw it to
the ground, where it has slept in silence
through a century and waked up to find the
wilderness gone ond a booming little town in
ts stead. Pefchanco some rod man’s hand
once firmly grasped it. and fuming its
frowning muzzle against the white invndor
in defense of his forests Or, perchancer
still, it may have been thrown at some
fleeing darkey on that memorable election
dav ten or twolve yeai-s ago. Anyhow, it
looks historic, and could it speak, would
doubtless a tale unfold that would frizz.e
up the blood and cause each knotted and
particular bail- to stand alone like the
bristles upon angry swine.
There is one thing to lie said for the brass
band. It never hangs back and blushes and
protests lncompetenoy when it is asked to play.

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury—Old
Time Methods.
The savage is emphatically the child of
nature. He lives close to nature, his only
education is gained in nature’s school.
When the Indian receives an injury he
does not seek a cure in mineral poisons, but
binds on the simple leaf, administers the
herbal tea, and with nature’s aid comes nat
ural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but com
fortable log cabins and started the
clearings in the woods, which m time be
came the broad, fertile fields of the modern
farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay
close at ban l pature’s potent remedies for
all their common ailments, It was only in
very serious cases they sent for old “saddle
bags” with his physic, whioh quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its
owii good. Our grandfathers and grand
mothers lived wholseomor, purer, better,
healthier, more natural lives than we do.
Their minds were not filled with noxious
isms nor their bodies saturated with poison
ous drugs.
Is it not time to make a change, to return
to the simple vegetable preparations of our
grandmothers, which contained the power
a id potency of nature as remedial agents,
and in all the oruinury ailments were effica
cious, at least harmless: 1
The proprietors of Warner’s Log Cabin
Remedies have thought so, and have put on
the market a number of these pure vegeta
ble preparations, made from formulas se
errea after patient searching into the an
nals of the past, to that those who want
them need not. be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will be
found “Log Cabin Sarsaparilla,” for the
Rood, “Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Reme
dy,” a tome and stomach remedy; “Log
Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy,”
"Log Cabin Scalpine,” for strengthening
and renewing the hair; “Log Cabiu Ex
tract,” for both external and internal appli
cation; “Log Cabin Liver Pills;” “Log
Cabin Rose Cream,” an old but effective
remedy for catarrh, and “Log Cabin Plas
ters.” All these remedies are carefully pre
pared from recipes which were found, after
long investigation, to have been those most
successfully used by our grand mothers of
“ye olden time. They are the simple, vege
table, efficacious remedies of Log Cabin
days.
