CHANGED INTO A HORSE.
The Days of witchcraft Have Been Re.
newed in Indiana.

The Days of witchcraft Have Been Re-
newed in Indiana.
Brazil, Ind, March S,-The days of
witchcraft are revived at Brazil. Two
months ago man named Stapleton.
aged 90, married Miss Johnson, aged
16 years. Two weeks ago the wife left
her husband, returning to her parents,
since which time she is controlled by a
mysterious influence, under which she
has spasmodic spells. They prey heav-
ilv upon her both physically and men,
tally. She alleges that her husband has
bewitched her, and seeks redress in the
courts. The most peculiar phase OF the
phenomenal case is that by his black
art, his wife alleges, the husband has
transformed her into horse, and re-
peatedly he has ridden her, under the
cover OF darkness to the point of ex-
haustion. The young wife's brother
threatens the life of her husband, whose
son has filed complaint praying that he
be compelled to execute a bond for
surety of the peace. The situation is
becoming complicated and sensational.

EFFECT OF FEES DECISION.
An Unsatisfactory State Of Affairs Ex-
listing at PendletOn.

An Unsatisfactory State of Affairs Ex-
listing at PendletOn.
PENDLEToN, Or, March 12.-Umatllla
county had an addition to its citizen
ship of 1000 Indians Saturday, when
Judge Fee rendered his decision. The
effect, no doubt, if sustained by the
higher courts, is to remove all restrlc-
tons from them excepting in handling
their lands, which were allotted under
conditions. The Indian chiefs who were
under arrest for resisting a United
States officer, were Immediately released
and a council called at Young Chiefs
camp, fifteen miles above the agency, OF
all Indians, to consider matters. Near
the agency Captain Richard camped
with troop ID, of the Fourth cavalry,
from Fort Walla Walla, accounted for
heavy services. Agent Harper says:
Il called the troops because Judge
Fees decision removes all my authority
over the Indians. No power now exists
to prevent the Indians becoming intoXl-
Gated and endangering the lives OF all
on the reservation. They are now free
to follow their natural inclinations and
drift back to savagery."
A radical change in the relation of
Indians to the people of this county
renders some people timid. There are
expressions of fear that dire results will
follow. The Indian agent under the new
regime can merely rent the Indians
land to the whites. The Indian court is
done away with. Indian policemen have
been discharged and the state courts
have complete and sole jurisdiction.

fine boatinan, and owned big, roomy
canoe of his own When / found that
he was devoted to me and would do
anything to serve me, saw my chance
of escape I talked it over with him.
He was to bring his boat on a certain
night to an old wharf which was never
guarded, and there he was to pick me
up. 1 gave him directions to have sew

however, there was one of the convict
guard down there-a vile Pathan who
had never missed a chance of in
sulting and injuring me. I had
always vowed vengeance, and now
had my chance. 1 was as if
fate had placed him in my way that
might pay my debt before I left the
island. He stood on the bank with his
back to me and his carbine on his
shoulder. 1 looked about for stone to
beat out his brains with, but none
could I see. Then a queer thought
came into my head and showed me
where I could lay my hand on q wcap-
on. / sat down in the darkness and I'M
strapped my wooden leg. With three
long hops 1 was on him. He put his
carbine to his shoulder, but I struck
him full and knocked the whole front
of his skull IN. You can see the split
in the wood now where I hit him. We
both went down together, for 1 could
not keep my balance, but when I got
up found him still lying quiet enough.
L made for the boat and in an hour we
were well out at sea. Tonga had
brought all his earthly possessions
with him, his arms and his gods.

Everybody was surprised this
morning when a notice appeared
on the window of w. w. Condor s
jewelry and music house, to the eff
feet that he had made a deed Of as
signment in favor of Albert
Wright as assignee.
Mr.. Wright told STAR reporter
this morning that E1r. Condor s
business was not in as bad q COndi-
ton as it might be, and that he
had ample resources to more than
pay ali he owed, but there would
have to be time TO collect in.
He said Mr.. Condon's creditors S
were crowding him, and he could
not get what the people owed
him. So something must be done
to protect himself and others.
Mr.. Wright says there will be
ample to pay off ali liabilities
and then have a handsome sum
left to Mr.. Condon's credit.
The deed of assignment was ex-
ecuted late yesterday evening.

AT THE NATATORIUM
A Grand Ecopening on Friday OF This
Week

A Grand Ecopening on FRIDAY OF ms
Week
The Natatorium, on Broadway between
Second and Third streets. is entirely an
other place from what it was few weeks
ago. Colonel Baker leased the place to
Mr.. and Mrs. Lenhouts, and for the past
ten days or two weeks they have been
busy experimenting the alterations and
innovations that today present them
selves to ones view. In all the changes
brought about the idea has BEEN to please
the ladies; this not entirely. but princi-
pally. The alterations are many and APP
parent. and need not here be gone into
in detail. Electricity and massage play
an important part in the scheme, but
ladies and gentlemen are invited to
make personal spection-this, and this
alone, will convey an idea of what has
been prepared for their service.
y grand opening will be held on FRI
day night of this week, upon which occa-
sion the North Beach swimming club OF
Santa Monica will follow the following
programme.
Pyramids by the club; one hundred
yards swimming race between Spiottoes-
ser and Rice; tub race; high diving; man
yacht; relay race; sack mystra; obstacle
race fire dive; SKETCH changeable; one
hundred yards swimming race, Hinier
VS.. Sheckles; wrestling match; trapeza
porpoise act; tug OF war.
The mem bers of the North Beach
swimming club, who will give the events
in the foregoing programme, are not UNI
known to the water-loving portion of the
citizens of Los Ans eles. In their line
they are great, and Friday night should
see big house to witness the entert iln-
ment. Music will be provided, and the
evening promises to he an enjoyable one.
