NAVAJO CHIEF
GREETS KING
KING ALBERT OF THE BELGIANB
MEETS INDIAN CHIEF
AT GALLUP.
THEY EXCHANGE GIFTS
INDIANS DO WAR DANCE FOR
ROYAL PARTY IN NEW
MEXICO.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Albuquerque, N. M., Oct. 20.—The
pale-faced chief of the Belgians greet
ed a somber-visaged, gray-haired,
swarthy chief of the Navajos at Camp
Gallup. They shook hands gravely
and each showed his respect for the
other. The aged Indian bore himself
with a dignity equal to that of the
king. There was no condescension in
Albert’s manner and no humility in
that of the Redskin.
The sun had not yet banished the
chill of dawn when the royal special
stopped in the New Mexican village of
Gallup, but a crowd of several hundred
was at the station. Many of them had
ridden a score of miles to greet the
Belgians. As the train stopped, the
band of St. Michael’s Indian school
swung into the strains of the Belgian
national anthem and then that of the
United States.
A little band of braves, mounted on
mustangs, sat waiting and watching,
their faces expressionless, as the king,
queen and prince descended from their
car. After one war dance, his majesty
expressed a desire to meet some of the
Indians, and several of them were
presented to him and his consort.
Then Chief Silagotio, tribal judge,
better known as Pete Price, stepped
forward with the gift of the tribe, a
handsome Navajo blanket, which he
gravely handed to Albert, who in turn
pinned upon the old warrior’s breast
silver medals of his house.
The grizzled Indian might have been
thinking, as he stood proudly before
the ruler of the Belgians, of the day
when he, too, was the chief of many
fighting men.
He was the last to surrender to the
regulars at Fort Defiance in the days
when Kit Carson was a guide, and he
was defiant to the end. But once his
parole was given he kept it.
There was no lack of color in the
scene which greeted the Belgians.
Braves In shirts of the gaudiest hues
and squaws wrapped in blankets of
many colors were grouped in an open
space near the station. Some of the
women carried papooses. The daugh
ter of the chief was mounted on a
mustang.
Pan Officials on Trial.
Chicago.—With a great army of wit
nesses the trial of S. C. Pandolfe,
head of the Pan Motor Company of
St. Cloud, Minn., and twelve other of
ficials of the company, on charge of
conspiracy to use the mails in a
aehemd to defraud, has opened in
Federal Judge Landis’ court. Sale of
stock in the company forms the basis
o£ the charges. In the indictments,
which were returned several months
ago, it is alleged by the government
that more than 60,000 persons bought
stock.
Confirms Capture of Gorka.
Helsingfors.—A communication from
the northwest Russian army received
here confirms the capture of Krasnaia
Gorka, and claims that the railway be
tween Petrograd and Moscow has been
cut by blowing up a bridge over the
Tosna river.
Lift Dry Ban In Sonora.
Nogales, Ariz. —By an act passed by
the State Congress of Sonora, Mexico,
a decree put into effect Aug. 8, 1915,
by former Governor P. Elias Calles,
which called for the strict enforce
ment of prohibition, is abrogated. The
presidents of the various municipali
ties are empowered to allow saloons
to sell beer, light wines, champagne
and cider.
Troops and Peasants Fight.
Paris. —Newspaper dispatches from
Rome state that about thirty persons
have been killed in encounters between
armed peasants and troops in Sicily.
There were many wounded. The un
rest among the peasants is increasing
and bands of armed peasants are roam
ing the rural districts.
Girls Will Get Education.
Chicago.—Edna and Sherley Luikart,
the little Pontiac, Mich., girls whose
demented mother, with murderous in
tent, gave them bichloride of mercury,
not only will completely recover their
health, but thanks to a generous pub
lic, they are now assured of an educa
tion.
