Faith Cure Believers Say They Are Proof
Against the Malady.

Boston. Feb 1.-THE faith curists met in
the Park Street Church to-day and listened to
many remarkable instances OF cure by faith.
The Rev. Hezekiah Davis OF New Britain.
Conn.,. told OF German who was regarded as
weak minded and believed to be incurable.
He had spent $500 in doctors bills. with TO
effect. Then he thought he would 60 to Mr..
Devis's church and be cured by faith. The
moment he entered the door and before he
had time to make his wishes known he was
cured. Mrs. Davis told Of a faith-cure believer
who ran q dangerous machine which no ono
else would have anything to do with because
so many had been injured by It.. For three
years he has run that machine without fear or
injury. He says God tells me whenever
there is TO be q break and get out OF the way
in time"
The speaker had been threatened with ar
rest by the authorities OF New Britain for
treating child sick with typhoid fever. They
threatened to take the child from tho parents
because they refused to have u doctor called.
The child. though only years old. believed In
faith cure and when n doctor was brought in
would not take the Iuinine he gave her. The
result was that the child was cured although
lying for long time at the point OF death.
Once Satan entered tho house and for a mo-
the enemy out and the mother was restored to
Mr. Davis told OF a Mrs. Teusele. whose
crooked limbs were made straight In three
minutos by prayer alone. No ono who has
had faith in the Lord has ever had the grip
The Lord is stronger thnn tho grip every
time" he said.

CHAvEs STATION. N. NJ. Feb. 1.-THE trouble
between the Navajo Indians and tho CATTLE
men arose from the fact that band Of eighty
bucks have been allowed to leave tho reserva-
ton and were caught killing cattle for food.
The stockmen armed themselves and drove
the Indians into the mountains. but the
Navajos sent word to the people at the
little town Of Mitchell that they wanted
the settlers to leave the country within
three days. Signal fires. had been seen
burning for several nights and the people
became greatly alarmed =, In order TO
preserve peace Lieut.. Wallace. Troop II.
Twenty-third Cavalry. and ten men from Win:
gate. with pack animals. were sent to Mitchell
station. arriving Yesterday. and will remain
there until the trouble blows over.
Many Navsjoa are on the reservation, some
Of them as far as forty miles away. and they
trade of everything. they have for whiskey.
even their women and ponies and blankets. It
Ia thought that when tho Indians get sober
there will be moro trouble.
There was much excitement at Mitchell anil
this point, but it Is calming down. There is no
Indian war nor any indian uprising to be
feared. Were tho Navajos kept on the reserva-
tion and fed by the Government, and were
whisEey kept away from them. those troubles
At yesterdsys fight at least three Navs!os
were either lied or dangerously wounded.
