Scalped by Indians 56
Years Ago; Dies in Bed
lireut Bend, Kans.?Sculped und left
for dead by Comanche Indians on the
famous Santa Fe trail years ago,
Allen W. Edwards lived to a ripe old
age, dying at Ids home at Waukomls.
Okla., at seventy-four, lie is survived
by his wife and several children.
It was while he was a hoy of eight
een that Mr. Edwards almost lost his
life under the scalping knives of the
Indians In Kansas. With a company
of freighters he traversed the Santa
Fe trail with a Itussell, Majors and
Wnddell wagon train hound from Ne
braska to Santa Fe.
At Walnut creek, near Great Bend,
the wagon train was ambushed by a
war party of hostile Comanches.
Edwards had been cnt off from the
wagon train at the first attack and
stunned by a blow from an Indian war
club. Thinking his victim dead the
Indian warrior coolly scalped the boy
and then left him to join the assault
against the wagons which had been
drawn up in a circle by the freighters.
British Insurance Pays
for Surgical Operations
London.?Surgical Insurance is the
newest thing In England. Several com
panies now issue policies for a small
premium each year which guarantee,
if the holder is obliged to undergo a
surgical operation, that all expenses,
Including the services of a high-class
surgeon, at the best of private hos
pitals, will be paid. Applicants for
such Insurance must pass a medical
examination, and men over fifty and
women over forty-five are not consid
ered desirable risks.
The fifty-year age limit In the case
of men as against forty-five In the
case of women rather upsets the pre
vailing idea that the expectation of
life Is greater in a woman than a man.
The head of a family may also, In
the same policy, Insure his wife and
rhlldren against operations. Dental
operations are not Included la the poli
cies.
Water I i Literally
Their Staff of Life
The most amazing race of human be
ings is undoubtedly the El Molo, a
tribe of "fishmen," who inhabit the
desert wastes bordering Lake Rudolf,
In Kenya colony, Africa. This tribe
represents the only known specimens
of semlamphlbious people and it Is a
curious fuct that any tribesman dies
If he is kept without water for about
three hours. As a rule they drink every
hour during the day, for even an hour
and a half without water causes crack
ing and bleeding of the lips, the Bos
ton Transcript says.
The El Moro tribesmen spend their
days swimming in the waters of Lake
Rudolf and fishing from frail rafts
constructed with palm branches. Fish
is almost their only diet and they have
no opportunity of varying their menu,
unless they are fortunate enough to
spear a hippopotamus. The water of
Lake Itudolf is undrinkable to anyone
but the El Moro, for it contains a
large quuntlty of soda and has an ob
Jectlonable taste. The proportion o i
soda In that lake Increases yearly, and
It Is believed to be this fact that has
caused the "fishermen" to becouic u
deformed race.
