diving enemy and blew out his brains.
Victoria having received several lance
thrusts from the other two men called for
an armistice, and the great battle of the
Alamo was ended. The dead and wounded
were taken to Mission San Gabriel, where
Victoria abdicsted in favor of Echeandia.
Thus three men had overturned the Gov
ernment.
Pic Pico soon after Influenced the Leg
islature to declare himself to be Governor.
The Town Council, which seemed to have
greater power than the Legislature, re-
fused TO recognize PicO. After serving as
Governor for few weeks Pico resigned" +"
A few years later another revolution YVES
started, but quickly suppressed. The rev.
olutiOn in 1916. by which Pico became Gov
ernor of California the second time, was
more of an opera bouffe affair than the first.
Jose Castro was his Captan-General, and
with an army OF about 400 men and a
smooth-bore cannon they again marched
to the Alamo, the scene of the former tilt.
About half of Pico's army were Ameri-
cans living in Los Angeles. Governor
Micheltorena, who had removed the capt.
tai to Monterey, also marched to the Alamo
with an army of about the same number.
j. A. Suffer OF Suffers Fort had furnished
100 Indians, for which Governor Michel
torena promised him several leagues of
Government land.
When Sutter was informed that foreign
ers could not own land in the country he
withdrew his Indians. This ended the
war. Pico became Governor and removed
the capital to Los Angeles. In those days,
evidently, the mountains came TO Moham-
med-the capital being removed at the will
Of the Governor.
During one of the Mexican revolutions 8
the Temecua Indians took the cue and
revolted against the Picos, who had taken
their lands but the unfortunate red men
were soon subdued. During the seculari-
zatiOn of the missions, Pho Pico was made
administrator Of San Luis Rey, one of the
weathiest missions in California, valued
at 100000. BE purchased the estate at
public sale at the very low figure of $1100.
He had contention with the adminis-
traitor of the adjoining miseion of San
Juan CapiStrano about cattle. 1t was
agreed that Pieo should slaughter his cat
tie and the remainder should be left for
the other official. Pico's forces killed
1000 head, and the willy Pico reported that
there were none left"
During his halcyou days as Governor he
had a mania for issuing land grants to rel
atives and friends by signing them in
blank. Many complicated lawsuits have
grown out of the issuance of these grants.
During the war with Mexico Pico fled to
his mother country. but returned in 184S,
settling in Santa Margarita. He moved TO
Los Angeles in 1864. where the wealth
acquired during his reign gradually
dwindled away. During the last few years
of his life be lived In house furnished
him by friend, aud his only personal
property was horse and buggy.
But Don Pho PicO had the distinction of
being one of the first Governors of Cali
fornia under Mexican rule and the last.

A traveller in Siberia tells as about a
wonderful plant found in the northern
part of that country, where the ground
is perpetually covered with q coating of
frost and snow. It is called the snow
flower, and the description of it's birth
and it's short life reads like . fairy tale.
He says it shoots ont of the frozen soil
on the first day OF the year and attains
o height OK 3 feet. On the third day il
blooms, remaining open for only "a
hours. Then the stem, the leaves and
the flower are converted into snow-in
other words. the plant goes back into its
original elements.
The leaves are three in number and
the flower 10 star shaped. On the third
day, the day the bloom appears, little
glistening specks appear on the extremi-
ties OF the leaves. They are about the
size OF the head OF o pin and are the
seeds of the flower.
It Id said that some OF these seeds
were gathered once and taken to st. Pc.
tersburg. where they were buried In i
bed OF snow. The first OF the following

moralized as a party that no one knew

some bold position that would serve as

His blow at the sugar-trust in a desire to
wipe out the differential is perhaps
prompted more by a desire for revenge

ATHENS. Dec. s. The Associated

Christians in Asia Minor and Monday
a representative of the Associated Press
succeeded in obtaining additional de-
tails confirming the statements previ-

90 Armenian refugees who arrived here

hardships and suffering. Securing the
services of a first class interpreter, he
questioned them concerning the terri
BILE events of which they had in a num-
Der of cases been eye witnesses.
This party of Armenians is the first
that has escaped from the districts
where the massacres occurred. and it is
believed that even worse remains to be
told as the horrors recorded are under

villages devastated is said to be over 80.
The Armenians fed in every direction,
but many of them were captured by

A much needed reform and one that
ought to be introduced into South d.
kota realty transactions and records be-
fore it is a much older state is thus
touched upon by the Yankton Press OF
the Bird inst.
For a year or more Judge G. w. Rob-
erts, of Yapkton, in conjunction with
the Corn Belt real estate association, OF
which he is president, has been studying
the Torrens system Of real estate trans
fers and is now prepared TO go before
the Legislature Of South Dakota with a
carefully matured proposition for a radi-
cal reform in the method OF transferring
property. Judge Roberts has submitted
his project to the Yankton county mem
bers Of the legislature and they concede
the excellence of the Torrens system
and are interested in it's leading features.
Under this system there would be no
further use of abstracts OF titles and no
chance for imperfections In titles TO
propert,. Each transfer would be made
to the purchaser by the county and a
deed from that ource would stand
against all possible t~echnicalities or
flaws. County registers of deeds would
look up the standing of property to be
decided and there would be no appeal
from the conclusions of those officials.
The title finally passed would be conclu-
slve evidence OF ownership, under the
warranty OF the county. The system
would greatly simplify matters.
