EDUCATED INDIANS.
As Result of the Application of
their knowledge they Serve Long
Terms-One Bit of knowledge Over
looked.

Modoc Wynn and Seward Mott have
been finally dealt with. The United
States court ut Florence last week melted
forth to them, to Wynn five years at San
Quentin, and to Mott four years.
Who can gsinsay that the Indian is
not naturally smart, and that education
does not brighten them? Too much
education is what brought Mott and
Wynn to their present outlook. Both
have good educstions-very good as In
jisns go-having graduated from Car
isle, Pa.
Modoc Wynn was issue clerk for Capt.
Bulls, agent in charge at San Carlos,
and had access to the captains check
book. One Sunday be and Mott were
in the Office, and 9 Don concocted little
forgery. Wynn drew up two checks of
1925 each, one payable TO Mott, the
other to himself, on Captain Bulls
Mott took his and Wynn awaited devel-
opments.
They came soon. Wynn cashed it at
WillIamson's store, at Carlos. William
son forwarded it to a San Francisco
house, which in turn honored it, and
from there 1T went to the sub.treasury
in San Francisco.
Apparently nothing IN the world was
the matter with it. Tie signature was
identical with Bullis's, but the Indian
with all his education had forgotten one
thing:
November has but thirty days. He
dated the check Nov. 81.
The sub-treasury people regarded il
as mistake on the part of Captain Bull
lis, and returned the check to Carlos for
correction. Then came a storm. Modoc
Wynn very soon found out how Motifs
check worked. SO we'll, indeed, that be
never passed his own. In fact, he was
soon where he could not. They were
next at Tucson, and later at Florence,
with the foregoing result.
The Indians were smart When Mott
was on the stand be was told that he
need answer no questions discriminating
himself. About the fourth question
asked was:
"Who made out that check ~

OTHER CASES.
Jesus Arvisu sought to establish his
innocence OF all completely in the recent
Casa Grande stage robbery, by proving
an alsbi. He claimed he was in Gila
Bend on April 1, the day of the robbery,
and brought three witnesses whom he
wished to sustain him in the claim.
The witne sses were unable to even re-
member the month they saw him at
ella Bend. saying nothing of the date.
HIS case has been continued to next
term.

term for selling liquor to Indians, Alon

Nerve and Presence Of Mind.
There is nothing more formidable,
SAYS Sir James Poole in the London
Daily News, than for a captain of n
vessel to find himself on the surface of
the broad ocean face to face with ter
vible outbreak of infection. Happily
there are captains who are equal 20 the
duties which that sorrowful position
imposes on them. The Mercantile Ma
rine Service association ut Liverpool, of
which Sir James was the spokesman,
has presented to Capt. Dugald Lyon,
master Of the snip Sierra Pcdrosa,

gold watch and chain in recognition Of
his devotion and energy in personally

the crew and officers, Capt. LYON
nevertheless took the first sufferers into
his cabin. Three men subsequently,

compelled to take stringent measures
for shielding other members of the crew

SOCIALISM IN ARMIES.
Propagandism Carried On Under the Yer,

Propagandism Carried On Under the Very
Eyes of Europc's Potentatcs-
In several of the armies of Europe the
socialist propaganda is now actively
carried on. according to a big socialist
of New York city. who says. as quoted
in the sun: 1t is often referred TO
with alarm in the European papers,
! but they cannot find out much about
1t. II Is secret work. II is an under
! ground campaign in which the
I socialists are engaged. and their object
! is to gain over as many soldiers as pos
I siblc, so as to be ready for the time of
I trousle that is coming in Europe. 1t is
/ impossible for soldiers to go to socialist
meetings, but they can be reached
/ otherwise. The British war Office has
/ found this out within a short time; the
. German military authorities have
I known it for years, and the Italian gov
/ cTnment is troubled about it.
! I'm England there are socialist agents
/ in the military ranks. They enlist in
/ the regiments, and, in the course of
I their service. find opportunities of talk
I ing socialist doctrines very cautiously
| They stir up discomfort; they spedlz
| against their officers when off duty,
and. as the men all belong to the work
J ing classes. il is easy to raise their
/ prejudices against the aristocracy. So
cialist tracts and papers are got into
the barracks and garrisons somehow
/ and are often read quietly at night. and
are very exciting. for they take the side
of the poorer orders from which the
army is recruited, and defend the work
! ingmen and women who are the fathers
and mothers of the redcoats. The
propaganda has won more success than
outsiders know of. and there is disaffcc-
ion in the British army that viii yet
<eep the men from fighting against
, their own brothers.
I'm the German army the socialist
propaganda is pervaSive, and every sol
dier in it knows about socialism. The
elections of the last few years have
shown that there are millions of social
ist workingnen in Germany. and that
they are able to hold a majority of the
votes in a good many places. The con-
scription puts these socialists into the
military ranks, which are steaming
with socialism, as the young kaiser
l-llnows and as Bismarck could tell.
! When the workingmen of Germany get
ready for the uprising that is pretty
sure to be heard of before the end of
this century, their brothers in the army
will not be anxious to put them down
''As for the French army, the social
ist spirit is strong in it, as it is strong
among the proletariat of France There
is a socialist propaganda in the Italian
army, and the names of Garibaldi and
MaZzini are powerful there.
at is hard to speak of socialist prop
aganda in the army of Russia vet we
hear often of nihilists among the Off
GERS or in the ranks, and of nihilist
plots in which the cars soldiers are
engaged.
I'm certain contingencies the armies
of Europe cannot be trusted by their
masters, and if the general war that is
dreaded should break out there viii be

that viii astonish the crowned heads
