War Eagle and her younger unmarried r had to work hard. The younger woman did it because she liked bright-colored shawls and shin ing trinkets. Mrs. War Eagle did it because e¢ was compellea to in order to support her lord and master “in the style to which he had been accustomed,” Then one day War Eagle became Involved in crape.” A gang of cattle rustiers was captured, and War Eagle was founa in the bunch, His board bill now costs him nothing, The few acres of rock belonging to the family would not have supported a dozen healthy grasshoppers, had it been pliant ed in grain, But game and fish were plentiful, and Mrs. War Eagle, greatly relieved at the exit of the chief, took life a bit easier. Then some men came along and finally made her under stand that they “wanted to punch a few holes” in the solid rock of the hills on her ground. She made out that they might pay her for this privilege. They did—and are still paying her. The first two wells bored were “gushers.” in short, Mrs War Eagle and her sister have obtained something over $30,000 each in royalties, and that is only the beginning. The two aquaws have deserted their old tepee and now live in a “12x16 Shack.” But the result of their prosperity shows in their gor geous raiment, the colors of which “put the rainbow to shame.” “Lady Nicotine’s” Daughter Bride of First Man to Take Moving Pictures 0 of the Pope him new motion ntiff and rare has with of the JAMES SLEVIN, the only ok motio’ man, He * of | pictures where | bea sund-the | Log | nan mer San Francteco|to ought back word | month Was sent on | trenche mn by three Bhe is that Pope Ww. le for in mind to presery yetween the | States and Mexico | GILL TO BACK ma FIRED AT ERICKSON IN BOMB SUSPECTS COUNCIL RACE: AT LOCAL sia Mayor Gill announced Tues day that he intended to support Councilman Oliver Erickson in his campaign for re-election in the spring.
