INDIAN CHIEF
DIVORCES BRIDE

Noble Red Men
Special to Th« Herald.
HUACHUCA, Ariz.. Auk. 25.—"Whoop
de-Doo, one of the last scions of a one
time royal line ot Indian blood, ut
tered the magic Apache . syllable
"Skldoo" to his sixth wife yesterday.
Whoop-de-1100 also gave expressions to
other utterances, but his tribesmen nay
'that these are Idiomatic, and are latter
day Apache for early American pro
fanity.
Som« months ago, In the little puebla
of the Apaches, a wedding took place
In which Not-Yet-But-Soon, a charm
;lng Apache maiden, and Whoop-de-Doo,
the chief of tho warrior band, became
as one. Since that time Whoop-de-Doo
'and hia bride have lived a life almost
Ideal In Its simplicity and sincerity.
Their existence . was occasionally
marred, it is true, by spats In which
the; royal pair .took part with great
vigor, but Whoop-de-Doo by judlclous
l]y administering the hide data to his
.■bride on such occasions, properly re
tained his position as head of the fam
ily.
Not- Yet-But-Soon 1 recently made a
long Journey to the home of her fore
fathers. While In that far region
Woop-de-Doo's fair bride ate In a
four bit table d'hote In Tucson. The
imethod of serving meals In courses
appealed to the dusky daughter of the
jmesa and she made a mental note that
■when she got back to her spouse he
should be treated to the new way of
eating In installments.
Bride Prepares Feast
■ Yesterday Not-Yet-But-Soon return
ed to Huachuca. She sold all her
baskets. A feast was in order to cele
brate the reunion of the chief and his
bride.
J No one but Not-Yet-But-Soon her
,*elf should prepare the feast and all
the viands should be cooked by her
own little brown hands. Quickly the
minute for the signal to the braves to
congregate for the eatfest drew nigh
and . little -Not-Yet-But-Soon's heart
beat proudly, for her lot It was to pre
pare for her lord and his friends such
a repast as was never seen south of
the Arizona line.
A succulent soup made from Glla
monsters, and young chickens was the
first Item on Not-Yet-But-Soon's bill
of fare, and when the Apaches had
squatted upon the ground this soup
it was that the hostess passed out.
Each of the warriors tasted the
broth and found it good. ! As soon as
they had a fair Idea of what It tasted
like, Not-Yet-But-Soon and h«r at
tendant maidens who served as cup
.bearers, snatched the bowl and enriched
the arid soil with its steaming con
tents.
. Whoop-d<«-Doo gazed with deep dis
favor upon his bonny bride, but for-
Jbore to beat her In the presence of the
jcompany. Next on the menu was a
«ucculent entree of frljoles, with
chunks of dark Indefinite meat sprink
led through the mixture. Again did
the Apache band attack the dish, only
to have it taken from them when they
r had barely tasted the contents. The
bowls full of frljoles were cast to the
■pariah dogs, which, like buzzards,
greedily eyed the repaßt. Again Whoop
de-Doo caat unfavorable eyes upon his
Jesser half, but Not-Yet-But-Soon was
up in her enterprise and
'.little did che heed the black looks of
her lord.
Divorce Quickly Follows
Then was the final straw heaped upon
»Whoop-de-Doo's unwilling back. The
ibeamlng squaw passed out large sec
tions of Arizona bakery pie, than
.which there Is no more unsucculent, if
one may coin a word, compound.
| To the assembled savages here indeed
■was the crowning glory of the feast
and their untutored hearts glowed with
anticipatory pleasure. When each of
the Apaches had his slice of the canned
Bpple and soggy dough and had taken
a bite of the quarter section, again
came the squaws flocking about to
£elze the remnants of the pie.
Whoop-de-Doo, who had Jn meek
and humble silence borne the efforts
of his wife, was then indeed overcome
by the enormity of tho offense which
Not-Yet-But-Soon had committed, and
taking the noup ladle In his strong
right hand, he roundly beat the un
happy partner of his joys and sorrows.
All that night Not-Yet-But-Soon

tion Is a prominent revolutionist who Is
considered to bn an organ laser equal If
not superior to Jerlnboff.
All the members of the organization

and residences formerly was a fnvorlte
method of tho Nihilists, but has not
been used In recent years.
Emperor Nicholas was apprised of
I today's disaster and sent his personal
congratulations to Premier Stnlvpln on
his escape, nnd the cabinet ministers
nnd many members of the diplomatic
corps. Including Mr. Eddy, the Ameri
can charge d'affaires, tendered expres
sions of sympathy.
News received here from Petrrhof Is
to the effect that feeling runs high

circles.

LOS ANGELE3 HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 26, 1906.
BRAVADO PUTS
LANE IN CELL
BOASTS OF SLAYER ENDANGER
PAROLE
Judge Smith Order* Rearrett, and on
Monday Defendant Mutt Ex.
plain Why He Should Not
Go to Prison
nernud" of what the police term his
love of display nnd bravado, Albert 13.
I,nne, convicted slayer of • John H.
Smlide, In under arrest at the county
Jail, awnltlnjj his crII to court Mon
day morning, when Judge Smith of de
partment one will decide whether or
not the young man has violated the
pnrole bo generously bestowed upon
him.
In rnt>p the decision Is against Lnne
the parole will probably be raised nnd
he will be sent to the penitentiary.
Lane mnde certain remark?, accord
ing to statements of witnesses, yester
day morning in i ourt tending to cast
reflection upon Judge Smith. Those
remarks were printed, nnd as soon as
Judge Smith heard of them he promptly
raised the parole and remanded Lane
to the custody of the sheriff to answer
charges of breaking parole.
Lane was arrested on the night of
Smllde's murder. Smllde/a chauffeur,
had been driving: about the town with
some women of Lane's acquaintance.
Boastful Butcher Boy
Lane, who- is a butcher boy and used
to settling his troubles with his fists,
followed tho girls, and when he caught
up with the machine he met Smllde
and offered to shake hnnds with him.
At the Bame time he laughed at the
girls, with the remark that he knew
they were "good fellows."
At that Smllde refused to shake
hands with Lane, and the youth with
the ready fists swung a hard one to
Smllde's chin and the chauffeur
dropped dead, a vertebrae in his neck
having cracked.
Lane was arrested, charged with
manslaughter. Throughout the trial
his manner was Insolent and he paid
little or no attention to the court pro
ceedings. He refused to accept a pro
bation sentence and ordered the case
to go to trial.
Qut there was a surprise in store for
him when a jury in department seven
of the superior court turned in a ver
dict against him, convlotlng him of the
crime of manslaughter. In the mean
time, Lane's father, a retired capital
ist (according to his statement) of
Frultvale, appeared In Lob Angeles and
went on the lad's bond.
Goes North With Father
On Wednesday Lane was taken be
fore Judge Smith and placed under
five years' probation and further al
lowed to ko north with his father.
Judge Smith at that time stated that
he did not think Lane had Intended
murder and that therefore the court
would be lenient.
Lane left court In company -with his
father, and as soon as he found he was
free he made an engagement with Mrs.
Gertrude Wilcott. who Is employed at
the Blshcp cracker factory. He went
to her home and there, according to
the statements of Mrs. Gertrude Hum
mer, he stated that his father had come
to Los Angeles with $20,000, prepared
to get him out of the penitentiary,
which could easily be accomplished
with money.
Mrs. Hummer reported the case to a
reporter and It was published and
Lane was rearreste'l. Yesterday Mrs.
Hummer told Judge Smith that Lane
had made the statements accredited to
him.
The court adjourned long enough to
allow a deputy to serve a bench war
rant on Mrs. Wilcott, and she then ap
peared in court. She denied having
heard Lane's 'statement that his father
could find a way to keep him out of
the penitentiary with $20,000. She said
that she heard Lane say something
about $20,000, but suppored It was a
boy's brag of how much his father was
worth.
One Point Favors Him
One point in Lane's favor Is that
his father's fortune is estimated to be
about $20,000.. ' ... .
Mrs.. Wilcott then gave, other evi
dence against Lane. His police record
was naid to have been clear, but she
alleged that on one occnslon In a quar
rel with her he had drawn a revolver
and threatened her. It was further
stated that Lane had been fined before
on a charge of having revercly beaten
a Mexican.
Yesterday Judge Smith was asked to
hold the case over until Monday, when
Chester Smith, attorney for Lane, will
appear in court.
Attorney Smith stated yesterday that
tho present charge against Lane was
Blmply. a conspiracy. He stated that
at the time of the preliminary exami
nation Mrs. Hummer stated In. court
that she intended sfelng that Lane
was sent to the penitentiary, so she
could get even for the unpleasant no
toriety brought upon her relative, Mrs.
Wilcott.
Smith states that he will present his
proof of thnt statement In court Mon
day and that he thinks he can produce
enough evidence to overburden thflt of
the uncorroborated statements of Mrs.
Hummer.
As for any reflections upon Judge
Smith In his decision In the case, when
he put the boy on probation, businesi
men and attorneys of Los Angeles who
have known and fought for Smith for
years laugh at any such allegations as
being "rot."
Judge Smith, according to the stutn
mentß of his ninny friends, tempers
Justice with mercy.
