I NEVER want to hare a better time than
when I Heed among the Indians. I
worked hard, but it was all out in the
open and I had plant; of time for skylarking
around.
I used to like to go to the Indian dances,
and because I always took some trinkets
along I was a mighty popular fellow.
Funny, but the dancing we did was a lot
like the present day "rag,” although we
didn't put our arm around the girl's waist
The drums pounded out the time, and we
all wore sleigh bells, so that when things
warmed up there was a good deal of noise.
On Winter nights I would sit around a
roaring Are with the old men, and they
would fill me to the brim with stories about
how brave and warlike the Pottowattomies
used v to be.
Their one great tight against the whites
was way back in 1811, when they Joined
forces with the Shawnees, Wyandottes,
Ktckapoos, Ottawas and Chippewas. Old
"Tippecanoe" Harrison whipped them to a
standstill in a single battle.
The Pottowattomies handed the story
down from father to son. and, Just like prize
fighters, they had a good alibi. It seems
that the Prophet, who was making medi
cine on a hill, turned his back for a minute,
and his wife touched the pots. That broke
the charm that was to give them victory
over the palefaces.
That was about all the fighting the Pot
towattomies did, and I figure that the great
ness of their chiefs lay in keeping out of
trouble. I found them a kindly, well behaved
lot of people, with the makings of good
farmers if it hadn’t been for whiskey.
Even if my experience with the drunken
tramp had not given tnt ■ horror of drink
ing. seeing what whiskey did to the Indians
would have made me a sober man.
With my own eyes 1 saw “fire water” turn
many a big^flne man tnto a crawling beast,
robbing them of their strength and Cutting
their lives right in half.
You can talk about civilization all you
want to, but a civilization that walks hand
in hand with whiskey is a devilish thing,
and the world would be better oft without it.
I have seen Indians drink Jamaica ginger,
which is 95 per cent alcohol. I have seen
them bwill down lemon and vanilla extracts,
and there are cases where the unfortunate
wretches have even taken shellac varnish
and floated the alcohol in it.
The Government did its best to protect
the Indian from whiskey, but in those days
there were still a good many “boot leggers."
These fellows would sneak through the
country with whiskey in a wagon, in their
saddle bags or in their pockets, and drive
hard bargains with the Indians, who would
give anything they had for "fire water.”
The best thing that ever happened to
Kansas was when it went "dry." Each year
has put more drug stores out of business,
and to-day the boys of Kansas are growing
up without ever knowing the inside of a
saloon or being bothered with temptations
at a time when they haven’t got sense
enough to resist

After I left Woodchuck and went Into
business for myself, my next big move was
a Journey to Wyoming. The ponies I was
getting in Kansas weren’t very big or
strong and could hardly do the heavy field
work that was wanted of them. So 1 made
up my mind to visit the Wyoming ranges
and see if I couldn't pick up a better lot.
I hit Cheyenne first, and worked out from
there. The Wyoming ponies looked mighty
good to me, and I bought quite a number,
sending them back to my place in Kansas
to be broken when I went back. I had a
fine time in Wyoming, although I didn’t find
the "bad man” that I had hoped to see
All through my boyhood I had heard
stories of men with notches on their guns—
fellows who could shoot from the hip and
hit the heart every time. I reckon the breed
must have died out, for 1 never met a single
one.
The only fight I saw was between a

drunken man and a town marshal. At first
I thought that the cowpuncher was a bad
man, and he thought so himself. It didn’t
take the marshal long to prove that it was
just a case of bad whiskey.
It was in a saloon, and the fellow had a
gun out and was wavlng'Tt around with a
lot of wild talk. He told everybody that he
was a rattlesnake whose bite was sudden
death, and then he changed his mind, and
decided that he was a timber wolf, and that
when he howled the whole population had
better take to the cyclone cellar. The mar
shal heard the noise and came In the saloon
and told the cowpuncher to drop his gun
and come along to jail.
“Me go to Jail?” He couldn't believe his
ears. "Why, there ain’t a pen in the world
that can hold me. I bite my way through
steel. I’m a grizzly bear and I’m looking for
meat.”
I thought sure 1 was going to see a kill
ing, but the marshal didn’t even draw a
gun. He Just looked the cowpuncher square
in the face for a minute or so, and then he
walked up to him slow and gave him an
awful slap in the face. ,
"You ain’t no grizzly bear,” he said.
"You're Just a plain cur with a bad case of
mange.”
• • •
The best sport I had in Wyoming was a
bear hunt in the Medicine Bow range coun
try. I went with two fellows who were said
to be great hunters, and 1 reckon they were.
Anyway, we got a bear.
For two weeks we tramped the mountain
sides, crawling up and down canyons and
digging our way through plnon patches ami
scrub oak without ever catching sight of
anything bigger than rabbit and grouse. The
last few days 1 got to believing that there
wasn’t any such things as bears, and took
up trout fishing as a steady sport.
1 had always been used to still water fish
ing, and whipping a mountain stream was a
new experience to me. Every morning 1
would get up and spend the day sliding
down the mountain side on my hip pockets.
If ever I have a fight anywhere near 'he
mountains I am going to take up trout fish
ing as a way of getting in shape.
Like almost everything In a fellow's life,
the bear happened when I wasn't watching
for him. We were moving camp, and I had
my fishing rod in my hand, watching out for
likely pools. My gun was piled in with the
pack on the burro.
Mack, one of the hunters, had been hit
ting up his bottle the night before, and was
feeling mighty sick and sullen. Whenever
he had anything to say it was some mean
remark to Bill, a nice, quiet, sober little fel
low, who wrs always busy minding his own
business.
Mack was a strapping fellow, standing
over six feet, and weighing close to two hun
dred and eighty. He was mighty proud of
his strength, and always boasting that he
could kill a bear with his hands
Well, he was given his chance. We struck
a big cinnamon right in the middle of a
berry patch. He didn’t have any chance to
run, and neither did we. Bill had dropped
far behind, the ourro bolted when he saw
the bear, and there was only Mack to do
business with the big brown boy.
Grizzly bears hit with their pawo Hke a
boxer, black bears bite like a bulldog, but a
big cinnamon always hugs. This one
lurched forward, and as he rose to his hind
feet I yelled to Mack to shoot. Lord, he
wasn't ten feet away, and he looked as big
as the side of a house.
It wasn’t fear that made Mack's hands
tremble. It was his jag of the night before.
When he raised his gun it wabbled like a
bean pole in a high wind. His nerves were
on edge, and that smashed his "nerve." Be
fore he shot 1 knew that he would miss!
The bear bad him before his finger left
the trigger. Ab Tor me, I didn’t even have a
knife. What with the bear’s growling and
me and Mack yelling, there was noise
enough to bring Bill on the run.
He didn't dare try for a shot, for Mack and
the cinnamon were mixed up entirely too
close, so he dropped his gun and drew the
big dirk that was at his belt.
He didn’t waste any time, Bill didn't. He
Jumped Into the middle of the mess, and in
a minute his knife hand was going up and
down like a pump handle. I’m not saying
that he could have done it if the bear hadn’t
been busy with Mack, but just the same he
killed that cinnamon with that knife. The
last sniaBh he put in sent the dirk right up
to the hilt in the bear’s heart.
Mack was pretty badly clawed, but at that
he was more scared than hurt. When w«
made camp that evening Bill opened up the
pack and took out the whiskey bottles and
smashed them on a rock. He didn’t say
anything, neither did Mack.
I left for home soon after that, broke my
ponies, and sold them for better prices than
1 had evA gotten before.

Convict Warden 'C s H. Girardeau
Saturday began a special investiga
tion for a detailed report to the State
Prison Commission of the tragedy
late Friday in the East Point white
convict camp, in which three con
victs, A. M. Bell and Michael Manic,
of Atlanta, and William J. Thorntogi,
of Dahlonega, met death in a prema
ture discharge of dynamite.
There is no doubt but that the
warden's report will, show that the
deaths purely were accidental—the
same finding as the verdict returned
Friday night by a Jury impaneled.by
Coroner Donehoo. The evidence be
fore the Coroner failed to develop any
suspicion of negligence or careless
ness.
Notwithstanding the Coroner’s in
quest, however, the law requires the
warden to make a complete detailed
report to the Prison Commission in
the event of the violent death of a
felony convict. All of the three dead
men were serving felony terms. Bell
and Thornton having been sent up
for twenty years each, and Manic for
ten years.
Commissioners Visit Scene.
Chairman S. B. Turman, of the
Board of County Commissioners, and
Commissioners W. T. Winn and J.
Oscar Mills were on the scene of the
accident Friday night, and, from their
investigation, became convinced that
there was no basis for blame for any
one connected with the affair. All of
the Commissioners Saturday deeply
depiored the tragedy.
Bell, who was 23 years old, had
been in the chaingang only since
April 8 last, having been convicted as
one of the three highwaymen who
held up and robbed W. L. Kelly, pro
prietor of the Cash Grocery Company,
and Mrs. Kelly, of $1,200. The rob
bery occurred on Saturday night,
February 26.
Clyde Belcher, accused as o’ne of the
robbers, was brought back to Atlanta
from Birmingham but a few days
ago, and is In the Tower awaiting
trial 'in the Criminal Court. «
Pardon Near for Manic.
Manic, who was an Italian, 28 years
old, lost his life on the eve of a par
don. His application, which had been
urged by a friend, P. B. Pienezza, al
ready had been approved by the Pris
on Commission, and the formal order
for his release was expected at al
most any time. He was convicted of
voluntary manslaughter, for the kill
ing of A. Smith in Bellwood avenue.
He was sent up May 14. 1909.
Thornton, who was 29 years old,
was sent up September 27, 1913, on
conviction of bank robbery in Dah-
loiiega.
Bell and Thornton were killed out
right, while Manic died early Satur
day in Grady Hospital. Deputy War

New Train to Pacific
Coast onC.M.&St.P.
The constantly increasing flow of

cago at 9:35 p. m. The new train will
be placed in operation on June 20.

San Francisco Inns
Not Raising Rates
It may be of interest to Southern
people contemplating trips to the San
Francisco Exposition to know that the
management of the Palace Hotel an
nounces that its rates have been re
duced -for the exposition season, and
that they are now lower than they
have ever been.
The impression seems to have
spread throughout the country that
all the hotels oi' San Francisco have
raised their rates for the exposition,
and in order to offset this impression,
so far as the Palace Hotel is con
cerned, the announcement has been
made.
Tne Palace is the largest hotel in
San Francisco and Is widely known
throughout the country.

Tolmino Is Object
Of Italian Attack
By ANDRE BEAUMONT.
(Exclusive War Dispatches af The
Atlanta Georgian and The Lon
don Daily Telegraph.)
MILAN, June 12.—Tolmino has not
yet fallen into Italian hanus, but the
fighting in this neighborhood and
about Montenegro is very serious. The
Italian troops are showing great qual
ities of courage and enterprise in the
face of obstinate opposition.
They have driven the Austrians
from one position to another almost at
will. The severity of these encounters
may be Judged from the fact that this
ground is one of the strongest fortified
points where thf* Austrians can bring
their heavy fortress guns Into play.
Leave Dead on Field.
Nevertheless, the Italians pushed
forward and left 100 Austrian dead on
the way. The Austrians are taking
advantage of the great natural de
fenses on either side of the River
Isonzo and the invading army has to
fight step by step to conquer the
rocky cliffs and formidable trench-
works.
The Austrians have destroyed roads
and bridges and have tried to inun
date the gorges to prevent the victo
rious Italian advance, but without
success. The defenders are making
very desperate efforts at resistance,
but such is the ardor and determina
tion shown by the Italian troops that
the Austrians must either take to
flight or surrender, a* did 70 Bosnian
soldiers near t aporetto and some 400
others farther down the valley of the
Isonzo.
King Victor Emmnnue! has now
visited all parts of ihe Jong frontier
line A number of interesting epi
sodes are reported. The greatest en
thusiasm has been shown everywhere
whenever the gray motor car of the
King appeared. The soldiers are very
proud of the fact that they have been
spoken to by the King in person, who
goes about among his troops absolute
ly without ceremony.

The Blood and the Brain.
Among the many important physio
logical facts that should be as well
known by people generally as they are
by physicians, Is the dependence of the
brain for Its proper action on the vi
tality of the blood. If this is Impaired,
the blood affords an imperfect stimu
lus to the brain, ane, as a necessary
consequence, languor and inactivity of
the entire nervous system follows, and
a tendency to headache or faintness
makes its appearance.
It is probable that no other medicine
ever produced has done more in the
way of revitalizing the blood, making it
pure and rich, than Hood’s Sarsaparilla
which should certainly be given a trial
where there is any reason to believe
that the blood is defective in quality or
deficient in quantity.—Advertisement.
