MEDICINE MAN MURDERED.
Five Yuma Indians Arrested, Charged
With tho Crime.


With the Crime.
YUMA "a. IT,, March S.-Miguel, chief,
and Pedro, sub-chief, of the Yuma tribe,
with three other Indians, were arrested
here to-day by United States Marshal
Gard. The prisoners were taken to Los
Angeles this evening.
The Indians are charged with murder
ing Hekow, a medicine man of the tribe,
in October last. Hekow disappeared very
mysteriously some four months ago, inn
mediately after the death of prominent
Captain of the tribe. According to the
custom of the Yumas, the medicine man
who is unfortunate enough to have three
of his patients die is sure to be killed by
the relatives of the deceased.
Efforts have frequently been made
to discover the murderers of the
medicine man, but without sue
cess, as no witness to any such killing
can ever be found. The arrest of Miguel
and Pedro was unexpected, but it is
thought to be for the purpose of forcing
them to diclose the names of the real
murderers, who are on the reservation in
California.

Grist OF Arraignments.

The criminal court room was crowded
yesterday with prisoners and attorneys
or hand to hear the cases set and pleas
heard. Charles Brown was the first on
hand. He was up for larceny in the
second degree, and, after some sharp
questioning, in consideration of his fam
lily, the judge gave him the reform
school instead of states prison, when
he pleaded guilty.sThe bastardy case of
Ben r. Racklitfe was not in order. and
was dismissed by the attorneys for the
reason that he and his charmer are
welded.
William f. Adams, the man who made
the bold attempt to rob the Citizens
bank, was the next to face Judge Pond,
and he surprised everybody by pleading
guilty. He will probably be sentenced
this morning, although some doubts as
TO his sanity were entertained.
Hiram Walters, young man, posi-
bly, twenty years ofdge pleaded not guilty
to larceny in the second degree. and will
be tried later. Harry Whitaker, charged
with robbing store on Riverside ave

A Verdict for the Defendant in
the Gunner Smith Case


The jury in the case of Gunner Smith
VS.. The st. Paul d Duluth Railway
Company to recover $4,000 damages for
the loss of leg, yesterday returned
verdict for the defendant The case was
first tried before Judge Young in Nav.
1889, and a verdict was rendered in
favor of the plaintiff for 1000, which
was subsequently set aside by Judge
Young on the ground of contributorv
negligence on the part of plaintiff and
new trial granted: was taken to the SUI
preme court by the plaintiff, when the
supreme court held that the question of
cOntributory negligence was clearly one
of fact, and for the jury alone TO decide,
and to that extent reversing Judge
Young, but that they could not say that
there had been an abuse of discretion
on the part of the judge, and therefore
affirmed the order of the trial court. At
the second trial there was a struck iurv.
at the request of defendant, and on this
trial, which was before Judge Hicks,
there was disagreement of the lurv.
the jury standing in reality, it is said,
some ten or eleven for plaintiff to one
for defendant. this one being a heavy
shipper over defendants road.
The third and last trial of the case
terminated yesterday with a verdict for

trial before a struck jury, as struck

tween Miss Phoebe Couzins, secretary
of the board of lady managers of the
worlds fair, and the executive commit
tee of that body has taken new phase.
When she reached her Office door this
morning she found it locked, and the
Janitor Of the building informed her
that he had been instructed not to per-
nit her to enter. Miss Couzins there
upon took possession of an adjoining
room and announced that she would
hold possession of it day and night until
the trouble is settled. She continues to
hold the fort, and this afternoon sent
out for luncheon. During the day she
received telegram from st. Louis say
ing that arrangements were being made
for holding mass meeting of ladies to
protest against the course of the eXecut-
i've committee. and a deputation of
ladies waited on her in her castle here
