POOR FAST THUNDER
Kills
the Old Sioux Chief,
Bed Horse.
SUSIE, HIS SQUAW, DECLARES WAR
And Marries Her Husband's Murderer
in Order to Make the Punishment
Fit the Crime.
Married Her Husband's Murderer.
Rosebud, S. D., Jan. 5. When Fast
Thunder and Plenty Bird murdered the
old Sioux chief, Eed Horse, last week,
on the reservation, there was a great
sensation. They are Carlisle school In
dians, and claimed Divine authority for
what they did. They Were arrested and
released on bail. A few days ago Susie
Eed Horse, the squaw 'of the murdered
chief, went on the warpath with a big
knife in one hand and a rifle in the
other. She had heard that her hus
banJ's murderers were out on bail. Al
most immediately she cut her hair off,
this action being a traditionary declara
tion of war. Then she gave away all
her property, and started on the trail of
Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird. Susie
has a record. Fast Thunder and bis
companion in crime remembered her
fighting qualities, and kept out of sight,
but the Indian police started in pursuit
of the widow. Just as she had struck a
clew the Indian police overtook her, and
she was compelled to surrender her
weapons. A few days later the police
arranged an "atonement feast." The
friends of Fast Thunder and Plenty Bird
gave A de widow a number of presents,
and persuaded her to let the law take
its course. The gentle Susie is 44 years
old, but when she met Fast Thunder she
fell in love with him. He consented to
take the place of the man he had mur
dered, since it would prevent the prose-
opting witness from testifying against
him.
Were Mot tbe Bight Men.
.Los Angeles, Jan. 6. Toe two men
arrested, Bteadmen and Conley, were
this morning brought before Cashier
Fred B. Stamm, who was held up yes
terday morning at the Ontario State
bank, and Mr. Stamm says that, while
they resemble the men in some particu
lars, such as height, build, etc., they are
not tha ones who did the robbery.
Steadman said to Chief Glass: "You
have sized me up all right as regards my
record. I have seven years' time to
serve in Joliet and five years' at San
Quentin, but you are fooling away your
time to try and connect me with tbe
Ontario robbers. I was not there.
Conley has been identified as a burglar
who is wanted here by the police for
work done within the last SO days. Mr
Stamm says that Sibley, who was also
slugged by tbe robbers at tbe time of
robbery, is in a very serious condition
He was pounded over the head and
shoulders, and his hands are badly
braised. ' :
Killed In an Instant.
Tacoma, Jan. 5. Two thousand volts
of electricity passed through Peter Pet'
erson, day electrician at the city light
station, this morning. It killed him
like a lightning stroke. In making
changes on the switchboard' he grasped
two plugs at the same time, his thumb
touching them too far up, and on the
noninsulated portion. There was a flash
and he fell back dead. He has been in
the employ of the company six years
It wai his own carelessness.
Three Horsethleves Hanged.
Wichita, Kan., Jan. 5. News comes
from Cantonment, a trading point in the
heyenne and Arapahoe country, to the
.effect that a fight occurred near there
yesterday between vigilantes and horse
thieves. - Gus Gaskell and Syl Campbell
two of the vigilantes, were wounded and
three thieves captured. The prisoners
were promptly run up the nearest tree
and their bodies filled with lead. Tbe
farmers have been robbed of cattle end
horses to such an extent that they have I
determined to put a stop to it, and
formed vigilant committees. " In this in
stance the thieves were chased into the
Panhandle of Texas, back into Okla
homa, and finally cornered. -
Jk. Blow at Labor Organizations.
Omaha, Jan.- 5. A local paper de
clares there is very good reason to be
lieve that the anti-pass rule recently en
acted by the railroad managers is in
tended for a blow at railroad labor organ
izations more than for any other purpose.
Its belief is strengthened by informa
tion received from Cedar Bapids and
Vinton, Iowa, respectively tbe head
quarters of the railroad telegraphers and
railway conductors. This information
Lears the dismal intelligence that the
grand officers are utterly unable to make
arrangements for their annual passes
used in their work about the country.
The amount of travel preformed by
the grand officers of railroad organiza
tions will foot up into hundreds ot thou
sands of miles annually to each order.
They are on the move continually,
settling grievances, visiting lodges and
performing other services.
Bobbers Were Frightened Off.
Dbs Moines, la., Jan. 5. While the
north-bound train on the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific railroad was standing at
the Coal Vallev mines, six miles from
here, at 6 o'clock last nig"ht, and while
the messenger, Frank Tarrade, was out
side his car, robbers entered the car and
carried away the steel safe containing
$216 in money and valuable packages.
brakeman, noticing the lights were
not burning in the express car, gave the j
alarm. Tbe robbery was discovered,
and a searching party of fifty miners
speedily organized. Half an hour later
the safe was found a short distance away
unopened, the robbers having become
frightened. .
At tbe Illinois Insane Asylum. -
Anna, Jan. 5. Terrible confusion pre
vailed during the burning of all tbe old
buildings at the insine asylum, and it is
remarkable that many lives were not
lost. . Only: the north wing remains
standing. Tbe flames were first discov
ered near the roof of the main building
and' cannot be accounted for. Tbe
asjlum has water works, but tor some
reason the system was ineffective in
fighting the fire. The plugs seemed
frozon up. The loss sis estimated at
$250,000. Only one inmate is reported
missing.
Ask the men who are making fan
itations of C0TT0LENE, the new
vegetable shortenincr, why they
give tip lard and try to trade on
the merits of COTTOLENE? Per
haps you can guess why. '
Ask the grocer who attempts sub
stitution, why he tries to sell art
imitation when people call for
that pure, palatable and popular:
vegetable shortening, COTTO
LENE Perhaps you can guess.
Why should not YOU use COT
TOLENE, instead of lard or any
other compound, for all cooking
purposes? It has the highest
possible endorsement ; from Phy
sicians as to healthfulness ; from
CookingExpertsastosupenonty;
from housekeepers as to economy.
Use COTTOLENE and stick to it.

Murder Instead of Suicide.
Spokane, Wash., Jan. 5. There is
now a strong presumption that John
Wall, the Wardner miner, whose death
in a lodging-house here was first thought
to be suicidal, was murdered. The au
topsy showed that one of the bullets
passed tnrough both ventricles of the
heart, tearing that organ to pieces. The
other shattered the skull and sent pieces
into the bra'n. It is not believed that
Wall could have fired either shot after
the other. Wall was a union miner and
had made some bitter antagonists.
An Indefinite Sentence.
Cincinnati, Jan. 5. Judge Sage, of
the United States district court, today
sentenced ex-United States District At'
torney W. B. Burnett . to 60 days' im
prisonment for embezzling $9,000 from a
client.' : This sentence is concurrent with
a sentence of six months for contempt of
court which Burnett is serving. Unless
Burnett is able to produce bonds, which
seems improbable, the concurrent sen
tence is practically an indefinite one.
Experienced Terrific Gales.
Delaware Breakwater, Jan. 5. The
schooner Fannie Kimmie, from Savan
nah for Philadelphia, which has arrived
here, reports she experienced terrific
northeast gales December 29, and tre
mendous seas off Cape Hattsras. She
lost one man pad several of the crew
were injured. v. . -

A Murderous Judge.
Franklin, Pa., Jan. 5. Presiding
Judge Charles Elias Taylor, who served
IS years on the Chenango county bench,
attempted to shoot Deputy Sheriff M.
M. Shoemaker today. The 8eputy and
two other men overpowered him and
took away his revolver. Judge Taylor is
74 years of age, and lately has been un
der tbe -delusion that Sheriff Shaner,
Deputy Shoemaker and other officials
had been spying upon him.
