T 111 Savage Old Indian Chief Who Cut Right and Left Wi'h
IJItM I Knife Into a Crowd at City Depot, Is Silent and
* * Ready to Be Hanged When White Man Says So.
Cincinnati, 0., April 6. —"Ugh!"
And that’s all they get out of old
Chief Becody, the Navajo Indian from
Arizona, who, in a wild, savage frenzy
waded into an unsuspecting crowd in
the B. & O. depot in this city and
half killed two men and a woman
with a long hunting knife.
At the Hamilton county jail Chief
Becody waits, stolid, calm. If the
white men decree his death —Ugh Ilf
they free him—Ugh! He will take
what comes. He’s a good Indian.
Ten minutes before the train
reached the depot there was no man
in it more peaceble He was return
ing from a government mission to
Washington. He had talked with many
white men on the train. He belonged
to the tribe of Navajo, whose mem
bers have made fine blankets for
easterners, and have songs written
about them, but who never have given
the government any trouble.
But the old, quick, hating, blind,
terrible impulses of Decqmseh and
Geronimo, of Sitting Bull and Rain-in
the-Face, lurked beneath the veneer
of civilization and benevolence. His
seamed and wrinkled face was ready
to break into a grim scowl whicn
would mean death for someone.
And so it happened. His overcoat
wae stolen, the thief was gone. His
forefathers, generation after genera
tion had known how to act. Kill the
thief, or if he had gone, then kill his
family.
The old chief pulled a pint flask
!‘om his bag attached to his belt.
One, two. three .drinks. Th e quick
fiery liquor mounted to his brain. Ho
was ready. The next minute he was
in the crowd, striking, striking to
kill.
They got him. of course. What was
one old man against so many? Now,
maybe, the white men will hang him.
That’s their law. Very well. He is
still the son of his fathers. They

CALLED MYTH
Manufacturers Declare the
Women Are Needlessly
Alarmed.
Chicago. 111., April 6.—Following a
conference here of representatives of
the National Association of Hosiery
and Underwear Manufacturers of Am
erica, which includes 500 companies,
a statement has been issued saying
that talk of higher prices for im
ported hosiery is not based on facts.
The increasing tariff tax has been
slight and the women of the United
States will not have to pay one cent
more for their stockings than they
do now. Imported herteif that coats
25 cents per pair now will continue to
sWI at 25 cents.
It i? estimated that by 1 o'clock p.
tn. tomorrow, when the lists close.
50.000 names will be on the anti-tariff
petition being signed here. At that
hour, the petitions will be gathered
together and entrusted to the five wo
men who are to go to Washington as a
committee to present the petitions to
the Illinois representatives in congress.
This feminine committee will reach
Washington Thursday. Arrangements
are to be made lor them immediately
upon their arrival to meet the Illinois
representatives. They will explain ver
bally the sentiment of Chicago gener
ally regarding the hosiery and glove
provisions of the bill.

Great Physical and Mental Agony.
"Before we can sympathize with
others we must have suffered our
selves." No one can realize the suf
fering attendant upon an attack of the
igrip unless he has had the actual ex
perience. There is probably no dis
ease that causes so much physical
and mental agony, or which so suc
cessfully defies medical aid. All dan
ger from grip, however. may be
avoided by the prompt use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy, not one case has ever been
reported that has resulted tn pneu

PASTORS ENDORSE VETO
OF BEXAR COURT BILL
Unanimous endorsement of Govern
or Campbell's action in vetoing the
Bexar county court ibill was given
by the Pastors’ union of San An
tonio at a meeting yesterday In the
Y. M. C. A.
The endorsement was in the form
of a resolution, a copy of which was
ordered sent to the governor. It fol
lows:
Resolved, That the Pastors’ union
of San Antonio endorse the action of
Governor Campbell in hi® veto of the
bill passed by the legislature creat
ing an additional county court for
Bexar county with jurisdiction over
civil cases We take this action be
cause wp believe that the creation
of a court with civil jurisdiction
would prevent our county from se
curing a court with special jurisdic
tion over criminal cases, the issu
ance of liquor licenses and control
of all cases arising from the liquor
traffic.
"We believe the creation of such
a court for Bexar county would be
distinctly in the Interest of morality
among our people and,would go far
towards the suppression of lawless
ness and crime in our city and would
result in a strict enforcement of the
laws on our statute (books against
gambling and abuses of the liquor
\traffic.
"We place ourselves on record !n
this matter .because we believe the
question i 8 not political but distinctly
moral, and we offer no apologies for
aligning ourselves in accordance with
the best light we have upon the side
of morality, law and order in our fair
city.”

JUST ABOUT -
FIVE MINUTES LATER
You Will Wonder Where the Stomach
Distress and Indigestion
Has Gone.
Some people think they Lave Indi
gestion. others Catarrh of the Stom
ach, others Nervousness. Cancer or
Dyspepsia, etc. Call it this if you will,
but the real name for your trouble is
Food Fermentation, with only partial
digestion. Everything you eat turns
to either Acid, Stomach gas or Stom
ach poison. which weaken the diges
tive organs, causing a lack of gastric
juice. Your food sours. Is only half di
gested, and you become affected with
loss of appetite, pressure and fullness
after eating, burning sensation, a feel
ing of vomiting, heartburn, water
brash, slimy tongue, bad taste in ihe
mouth, constipation, nausea, belch
ing of gas, dizziness, sick headaches,
mental depression and many other
common symptoms'!
You can cure all this by not eating,
by not putting any food in your stom
ach to ferment; but how about the
nourishment needed to sustain your
bodily strength? If you are a stom
a< u sufferer, either man or woman,
young or old, whether you call it Indi
gestion or any other name, go now to
your druggist and give 50 cents for a
case of Pape's Diapepsin.
Every possible kind of Stomach
trouble is readily cured by Diapepslu,
which takes right hold of the food in
your stomach and digests it alone,
without the help of the stomach, just
as if your stomach wasn't there.
After a few days’ use of Diapepsin
your Stomach will again be in good
working order, your meals will thor
oughly digest and your Intestines will
be clean and fresh, and you will have
no use for laxatives or liver regula
tors.

prediction is made by party chiefs
that nearly 75 per cent of the regis

San Antonio people know this.
Read this San Antonio case.
Read how Doan's stood the test for
many years.
It's local testimony and can be In
v cstigated:
Mrs. M. S. Freeman, 434 Presa
Street, San Antonio, Texas, says:
"Ever since using Doan’s Kidney Pills
over a year ago, I have been in the
enjoyment of good health and pleased
to have recommended the remedy to
many other people. I am pleased to
renew the testimonial I gave in 1907.’’
The endorsement to which Mrs.
Freeman refers was in substance as
follows: “I suffered a great deal from
pains in my back and had an idea that
I was suffering from kidney disease.
When the action of the kidney secre
tions became irregular, I was con
vinced of this fact and I accordingly
procured a box of Doan's Kidney Pills
from the Bexar Drug Co. They helped
me from the first, and after a short
time. I was entirely rid of kidney dis
ease.”

helpers In addition to the ex-presi
dent’s companions, a head man, a
cook, two servants, two gun bearers,
four askaris or game watchers, and
100 native porters. These last get $4
a month and keep.
Prominent on the list of supplies
are a writing table, a typewriter, a
bath tub which is folded up and
strapped to the tent when not tn use,
and writing paper and reading
lumps.
The guiui have been made to order
in the Unwed States. The ex-presi
dent's gun will be the .405 caliber
toy, intended for rhinocerous, hippo
potami, elephants and animals of that
size. It uses smokeless powder and
has an epergy equal to 3500 foot
pounds.
The next gun is the new United
States government 30, carrying a 220-
grain bullet and, guaranteed to kill
very large animals at 500 to 1000
yards. The third Title Is extra light
.405 caliber, carrying a 45-70 car
tridge. and to be used for close range
work —say when the lion is about five
feet nway, licking his chops.
The last gun. a .400 caliber thing
for medium sized game, such as Col.
Roosevelt has used frequently In his
hunting trips in the western United
States. Resides these main guns
there will be revolvers and knives and
smaller weapons In plenty. The nat
uralists will depend mainly on a 12-
bore gun.
The native hunters who have been
hired by Richard Cunningham, the of
ficial guide, will have to furnish their
own weapons.
Then as to camp supplies:
First of all come the “Colonial”
tents, one big enough for two peo
ple, 12 feet, 10 and 7 1-2 feet high. It
is lined inside with turkey twill,
which gives a cony, home like appear
ance. and it has all sorts of pockets
tor holding odds and ends. Small,
valuable articles, such as hair brushes
or razors, would hardly be safe lu
these pockets becauee o( the thieving
propensities of the “boys.” The tent
has a second canvas which protects
the occupants from the elements, and
in the heat of day keeps the tent in
terior cooler. Under this second can
vas, known as the “fly," the "boys”
sleep, sharing the space with their
loads.
The rent Is also provided with ( a
veranda in front, and a bath room
laced on at the back.
Otner are a four*
pound folding table, a canvas hang
ing wanfrobe, a folding mirror, a
dressing roll replacing the usual hand
dressing case, and a green canvas
ground sheet. To the tent poles are
attached leather straps, fitted with
brass hooks for guns, coats and other
articles.
For lighting. Col. Roosevelt will
take several windi>roof "hurricane"
lamps, a mechanical oil lamp without
a chimney, a collapsible candle lamp,
and perhaps one or two reading
lamps.
Many of the natives aro clever
cooks, and can bake bread, or roast
small game or joints with ovens built
in a hole in the ground.
But for other foods and methods
of cooking the Roosevelt party will
take an ingenfus “cook’s box." The
box is 2 feet 6 Inches long and 15
Inches wide. It contains 28 pounds
of groceries for the dav, a large
kettle, a frying pan with folding
handle, a grill with telescoping han
dle. and a saucepan for boiling a large
pudding or a round of meat.
Inside this pan are a Dat-lidded
kettle, with tea Infuser, and also two
neatly fitting cans for tea and sugar.
Also enamel or aluminum plates and
spoon Also a nest, of five saucepans
with lids, one within the other, the
same handle taking all five.
Apert from his camping and hunt
ing outfit, Col. Roosevelt will take
about 25 “chojts.” A "chop” is a
box of general provisions'. such as
tinned meat, flour, jam, bacon, soap
and all kinds of dry goods. Esch
complete chop weighs 60 pounds, and
Is one boy’s load.
The medicine case, with Its tabloid
remedies and surgical bandages, fs
another very important item.
Other contrivances which make
for comfort are a combined folding
pick and spade for trenching round
the tent in case of rain, folding
metal boot trees, hair clippers and
safety razors, barbers being scarce
in Uganda; a portable weighing bal
ance, which enables one to give fig
ures to a skeptical public; a patent
pump filter indispensable, where the
water Is thick and muddy; a minc
ing machine; an alarm clock; and
a walking stick, which, at the will
of the owner, can be turned into a
stool, upon which he can sit down
to await the arrival of the big game.
