This lady was the mother of Dr. Brockett, formerly of Mayetta, and during her many visits here had formed a i 1 of acquaintances that truly admired her many estimable qualities. Mrs.

Mekah and wife returned to their cabin on the reserve after spending the day in Mayetta they found the place all lighted and the dead body of Watchka- tah, Mrs. Keg'B brother, lying on the bed with arms stretched out and resting between his legs a discharged shot gun the charge from which was lodged in the head of the deceased and the general appearance of suicide. But as suicide among Indians is almost unknown, the authorities on investigating found that Watchketah had spent the day drinking and gambling with John Nagma and that there had been more or less wrangling and fuss be" tween them all during the day. Coroner Hardin viewed the remains Thursday and adjourned inquest till Tuesday. Sheriff Francis arrested Mitchell Re- wamee on Saturday afternoon and took him to the county seat.

Early Sunday morning he found Nagma in Topeka and he too was safely lodged in the county bastile. The well known silence maintained by these people about af fairs of this kind makes it exceedingly difficult for the offloers to fasten the crime on any one, the facts in the case point strongly to murder and not sui cide, but by who and what the provo cation offered will probably be another of the mysteries that are only too nu merous on the reserve. At the inquest it was brought out that Watchketah and Nagma had been quarreling and shot was heard from di rection of cabin at about six o'clock and shortly afterward Nagma was seen riding away from scene of fatality. At the inquest Tuesday Mitchell was turned loose and Nagna held for trial M. A.

There are some brave fighters over the telephone. How many people do you know who practite all the good things they preach? We have noticed that a real good husband makes better wives, as well as happier wives. Some folks, whom we all know are more liberal with their advice than any thing else they possess. Our enemies are always so very un fair and unreasonable. why can they be sensible and see things like we see them? We should first be sure that our daily walks and talks are consistent with right living before we presume to lead others to our way.

The man who "gets there" neither boasts of what he is going to do nor of how good he is, but pulls steadily toward the desired goal. There is a crop of do-nothiug-young-f ellows, in every community that causes one to wonder how much the cost of production would exceed the market value. Some candidates talk about beating their opponents a city block, when the real facts in the case are that they will scarcely be entitled to the credit of "also ran." -S. P. Gebhart in Pratt Union.
