ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.-A scene in which
pathos and humor combined to make a
dramatic picture of life was enacted in
the court of criminal correction
today when the case of George
B. Singleton, charged with wife
abandonment, came to trial. Singleton
Is handsome man. while his wife is
blIxOm OF twenty-three. They had been
married about six months when quar-

wife lightly in the face. Mrs. Single

by seizing knife from the table at
which the two were dining and
with 1t sstabbing her husband in the
breast, inf1icting very dangerous
wound. The wounded man was con-
veyed to the city hospital, where lie lay
at the point Of death for month. The
young wife was thrown into Jail, a
charge OF assault to kill being preferred
against her. Singleton finally recovered.

abandonment had been given, Sim
gletOn was called upon to state
what he had to say in his own
defense. He took the stand and
with tears in his eyes and a voice
broken with sobs. declared that he loved
his wife and would be only too
glad to live with her, il she would con-
sent to live with him. He would nave
gone to live with her as soon as
he left the hospital, he said, but he was
afraid of her, thinking that she hated
him OH account of the blows she had
struck with the knife in moment of
passion. At this moment Mrs. Single
ton. who was seated by the side Of the
prosecuting attorney. could no longer
retain her emotions, and burst into
food of tears. The sight so moved her
husband that without word he rushed
from the witness stand and threw his
arms about his wife's neck. All their
past Quarrels and troubles were forgot

YAQUIs ARE FIGHTERS.
Mexican Soldiers Defeated by
These Indians.

These Indians.
CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Dec. 27.-A gov
ernment military courier brought the
news last evening of another outrage
in the state of Sonora, OF which the
warning YaQui Indians are the perpe-
traitors. The trouble occurred in
the town of Belen, at the foot Of
one of the ranges in the Sierra Marie
mountains, near the mouth of the YaQui
river. The town OF Belen is settled
principally with Yaluis and their allies.
the Mayas Indians. 1t is within what is
claimed Ivy the Yaqus as their domain,
and all efforts of the Mexican govern
ment to coloniZe the rich lands Of the
valley have proved futile.
BY an arrangement With the Indians,
a few Spanish traders took up their
residence in Belen few years age and
have been carrying on profita ble buSi-
ness. Shortly after the terrible massa-
ere OF the Tomochlc Indians by the
Mexican troops in the western part Of the
state of Chihuahua, about two months
ago, the Mexican government con-
sidered that now was good time In
which to bring the troublesome Yaqus
into submission. and compel the heavy
land owners of the Yaqui river to pay
into the general treasury the taxes
which the government has never been
able to collect.
Detachments of the government
troops accompanied several tax agents
to ditferent>partS of the Yaqui country
boundary, but no successful entrance
was made until about ten days ago.
when a force of soldiers sailed up the
Yaqui river and made landing
near Belon. When the Indians
of that town heard of the
coming of the troops. they
prepared for a desperate resistance.
The Yaquis and Mayas marched out and
attacked the government troops. who
were compelled to retreat to their boats
and leave the country. The Indians of the
town then went on the warpath in earn
eat and Immediately drove the Spanish
traders out and their families. burning
their residences and other property. 1t
Is generally conceded in military circles
here that the government will be un-
able to force the Yaquis Indians into
sub]ection. 1t will take 100000 Mex
ican troops to bring the 25,00O Yaquis
under control.

POLITICIANS AND TEACHERS.

The School Board objects to the
Mixing of the Two Elements.
The board of education held its regu-
lar monthly meeting yesterday after
noon. and during the session several in
teresting matters were brought out for
discussion. In the report of Supt.
Jordan, for the present month, he
stated he had ascertained that petit
tion, asking the governor of the state to
reappolnt State Superintendent Kiehle,
had been circulated among the princi-
pals and teachers of the local public
schools. This petition was formulated
by four of the leading principals of The
city, and by them circulated. In the
opinion of the superintendent such pro-
eeedings were wrong and should not be
tolerated. The heads of the public
schools had no right to take part in
political matters, to the detriment Of
their own work. The board coincided
with the superintendent and Director
Gjertsen offered resolution censuring
the principals for circulating the petit
tion and notifying them that the board
disapproved of any such action.
Director Rolfe favored more radical
measures. He said the practice of circu-
lating petitions among the teachers and
scholars was pernicious one and ought
to be froWned down at once. He made
a motion that the four principals re-
ferred to be suspended, pending an in
vestigation. The principals were Miss
Stahl, of the Clinton school; Miss
Ahern, of the Garfield school; Miss
Lewis, Of the Jackson school, and Mrs.
Cochrane, of the Webster school. The
board. however, considered this meas
ure entirely too severe, and passed the
resolution offered by Director Gjiert-
sen. 1t was plain to the board that the
principals were not SO much to blame,
for they had evidently been persuaded
to circulate the petition by some poll
tician who was desirouS of seeing Supt.
Kiehle reappointed by the governor.
The old matter of disposing of the
library at the Central high school and
dispensing with the services of the
librarian was brought up by Director
Gjertsen. He offered resolution di-
recting the proper committee to distrib-
ute the books in the Central library
among all the schools of the city, also
to dismiss the librarian. There was
absolutely no necessity for the library,
he said, nor for the librarian. The lat
ter position was nothing more nor less
than a sinecure. If the books were
distributed among all the schools the
entire school population would receive
the benefit of the books, instead of only
few, as at the present time. Director

lice. Officer Morse went to Ill Sec

Judge William B. Leach, manager of
the Minneapolis Board of Underwriters
union, has rendered his resignation, to
take effect Jan. l. The resignation of
the manager may have the effect Of les
seniug the squabbling among Mime
apolis Insurance men. which has been
incessant for many a year. Animosity
toward Leach has always cut large
figure In the internal disSensions OF the
board. He has also incurred the dislike
of some of the companies. FavOritism
has been charged against him. Recently
when the new agreement was being Cir
culated for signatures it was given out
plainly that the agreement would never
become operative while Leach remained
as manager. While backed by the ma.
jority of the insurance men In Mime
apolis, Judge Leach has grown tired OF
the continued Quarreling and has pulled

Than Ever Before.
SACRAMENTO. CAL, Dec. 27.-Fears
are entertained of flood along the
Sacramento river. as the stream has
reached height of 27 fest inches.
nearly a foot higher than ever before.
The raising of levees at Sacramento
saves the state capital from bad
flood. From several points above
Sacramento the water is reported
as pouring over the embankment, but
no break has as yet occurred. The river
is steadily rising, however. and break
is sure to come. The valley above
Sacramento for thirty miles each way
is as fiat as barn floor. and in many
places is below the river level. This
valley comprises the richest land in
California. In 1850 the whole valley was
converted into an inland sea. Last year
one levee broke just below Sacramento,
and much damage was done.
