suddenly they saw the reptile whip th

Gcron lino's Scalping-Knife,
Since Colonel I.ucas has displayed so
many curious aad Indian relics in his
show windows, others have searched
around their possessions of pioneer days
nn. I brought forth relics, some of them
0'ual in historical interest to tho relics
of tho Colonel, One in particular is in
teresting, it consisting of a scalping-
kniie, now IIio property of Mr. ltruiin
hart, anil said to have been tho identic d
knife with which tho famous Apacho
chief, Victoria, and the equally famous
Ceronimo, removed tho locks of the un
happy paleface who happened to fall in
their respective ways. Thokuife is about
fourteen inches long, brass-trimmed uud
steel blado, with curved iron-wood
handle. Thero uro still murks of blood
upon the blude. Tho knife was taken
from (ieronimo in lHttT.at the time of his
capture, by a scout, who presented it to
Mr. llrauuhart. Mr. Sidney I'. Waito
described tho knife before it had been
shown him, and suys that it is the same
knife he raw iu tho possession of Vic
tnria twenty-three yeuis ago. It has an
interesting history, and if tho gory old
blade could only speak what a tale of
woo mid bloodthirsty desolation it would
pour forth. Tho knife Is prized very
highly by Mr. llraunhait, who says he
would not tmit with it for auy thing.
