BULL PLUNGES INTO BANK
Snorting Bovine, Which Causes Panic
In Sioux City, Is Captured After
an Hour's Struggle.
Sioux City, la—A ferocious bull be
ing driven to the stock yards by H.
Fish, farmer, broke away as he
mounted the viaduct and caught first
view of the packing houses. The
frenzied animal gored Fish and his
horse, severely injuring both.
Bellowing and snorting in his fury,
he rushed through Fourth street,
Sioux City’s principal business high
way, chasing pedestrians to cover and
spreading terror on all sides, winding
up his mad rampage by breaking into
the First National bank, Fifth and
Pierce streets, causing a panic among
officials and clerks. The rampage
was ended when the bull became
wedged in the revolving doors, where
he pawed and kicked in desperation,
evidently determined to clean out the ;
money temple.
The fire department was called out ‘
to aid the police. Th» animal was las
soed and bound after an hour of
manoeuvring in the presence of an ex
cited crowd which would have done
credit to a Mexican bull fight assem
blage.

Venders Have Been Barred .From
Outside London Theaters After
Years of Service.
London. —From the time of Charles
11. women orange venders have plied
their trade outside the London thea
ters. But now the followers of Nell
Gwyn have had notice to quit, and the
gallery must do without their favorite
fruit.
Truth to tell, the gallery patrons
have entirely changed. Butcher and
baker boy have drifted to the music
halls, and the gallery of today is fre
quented by the well-dressed miss who
is delighted to "do” all the theaters
at the modest cost of 25 cents.
Oranges have given place to chocolate
and candy.

ment with the object in view of pre
serving the historic Indian villages of
the state, notably that on Graham’s
island, Benson county, which is now
regarded as the oldest Indian village
in the state and possibly the oldest in
the northwest.
In his effort to interest the people
in the project Mr. Libby has resorted
to the moving picture theaters, and
is sending slides to all sections of the
state for use in creating favorable
sentiment to the establishment of a
portion of Graham’s island as a state
preserve.
Dr. Libby also hopes to preserve
several Indian villages in the Missou
ri slope district.
Whippany, N. J. —A pocketbook
containing $53, which had been frozen

MANY HEADS FELL INTO IT
London Museum Gets a Gruesome
Bowl From West Africa Through
Gen, Baden-Powell.
London.—Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert
Baden-Powell has presented to the
Museum of the Royal United Service
Institution an extraordinary relic
the brass bowl used to receive the
heads of victims of King Prempeh of
Ashanti. It was obtained in the
course of the expedition of 1896. The
bowl, which resembles an ordinary
English bathtub in appearance and
size, is about five feet in diameter.
On the rim are four small Hons, rath
er well modeled, and a number of
knobs, evidently intended as ornamen
tation. There is a gap in the contin
uity of the series of knobs to allow
a space in which the victim may in-

sert his neck preparatory to execu
tion.
Any great public occasion, says the
Times, was seized upon as an excuse
for human sacrifice. There was the
annual harvest festival, at which
large numbers of victims were often
offered. The king also went every
three months to pay homage to the
shades of his ancestors at Bantama,
and on each occasion the death of 20
men over the great bowl was de
manded.
King Prempeh used to watch the
sacrifices, seated in a chair, with the
queen mother on a stool on his left.
Steam Heat Fatal to Beauty.
Washington.—The only thing that
prevents American women from being
the most beautiful in the world is the
effect of steam-heated rooms on their
complexion, says Alyn Williams, noted
English painter.
ANCIENT RITES AT POW-WOW

Federal Commissioners at
Albuquerque.
Albuquerque, N. M. —With all the
pomp and ceremony which their fore
fathers observed in pow-wow with the
white man, Indian chiefs from San
Felipe, San Ildefonso, Santo Domingo,
Sandia, Isleta, Laguna and Acoma
Pueblos conferred from early morn
ing until dark with Father William A.
Ketcham and Dr. Samuel A. Eliot of

The chiefs and the federal commis

fice.

the results of the conference until
they have made an official report to
President Wilson. It is know, how
ever, that the Indians have no serious
grievances against the Great White
Father at Washington. ,
