proceedings. After the presentation OF the
case Mr.. Andrews raised the ante to

clined to consider any OF these PROPOSE
tions; finally Mr.. Andrews offered to stop
the whole business for 100000 but no

Big. Bad Indians.

Reports have reached the officials OF
Sonora, Mex, that the Serbs Indians, who
inhabit the Tibwren islands in the Gulf of
California, have recently crossed the
straits to the main land in Sonora. They
are raiding ranches and committing other
depredations, striking terror to the peace
able Mexican settlers. While the country
thereabouts is sparsely settled there are a
sufficient number of ranches in that
section to afford them abundant oppor-
tunities for INDUCING in the destruction of
life and property. The Serbs number
about three hundred, and are one Of the
tallest races on the continent, nearly all
measuring six feet four inches. 1t is claim
ed by some that they are cannibals. They
are the only Indians in North America
using poisoned arrows, and they prefer
raw, decomposed meat to meat that has
been cooked, and, in Tact, live entirely
upon raw food. In stature, looks,
language and manners, they are diff.
ierent from any Of the Indians in America.
A few years ago a Turk visit ed their island,
and he claimed they spoke his tongue. In
appearance they resemble the Malayans.
They have never before been known to
leave the island upon depredating excur-
sfons, and the present raid is a complete
urprise. tn ey have often been known to
cross owe in Sonora in trading expedi-
tions, but they came in small parties and
manifested nodesire to commit depreda-
tions. Acting Governor Carrot will send
troops to check their advances.
