HOW WAR WAS AVERTED
A ComicaI Episode of the Cahuilla
UnpIeasantness
The Strange Tanner in Which Chief
Brought His Prisoner From the
Desert to Los Angeles

A laughable story came to light yester-
day which proved comical finale for the
theatened outbreak of the Cahuilla In
dans, a month or so ago.
1t will be remembered that the chief
appointed Agent Estudillo was distasteful
to the Indians and that considerable bad
feeling was the result. Finally the In
dian agent promulgated an edict by
which he imposed fine OF S5 upon Juan
Razon, one of the Salton Indians. and
directed him to go to work for Chief
Torres for the period OF two weeks as
punishment for some alleged offense. AS
if not quite certain in his own mind that
Razon would obey willingly, Estudillo
advised him to do as he was told. be
goou boy, and sin no more-or words TO
that effect.
Then hereditary chief Cabazon, whose
royal crown is now useless because Es-
tudillo deposed him, aided and abetted by
the capital of George W. Durbrow. owner
of the Salton salt works, came to Razon's
rescue The latter, who is. said to be a
hard worker and an excellent man, had
obeyed the agents command and was
perspiring at Torres $3.50 feet below the
sea level working hard for the chief and
subsisting on very meager fare.
Cabezon came TO the federal cDurt and
obtained the issuance OF Wrlb OF naDeaS
corpus directing Chief Torres to produce
the body-alive, of course-of Juan Razon
on the 9Th of March in the Unite states
district court. 1t was alleged that the
agent and the chief had illegally re-
strained Razon from his liberty. There
was plenty OF moon dancing among the
| Indians at the time, and some people even
| went SO far as to predict bloodshed.
! Torres received the writ and prepared
| to bring Razon to Los Angeles. Indians
| are not supposed to be able to procure
whisky, and that probably accounts for
| the many times that they got drunk.
! aguardiente but Razon got nothing.
| When the train had left the desert and
entered the rariied atmosphere of the San
| Gorgonio pass Torres was so drunk that
he fell out of the Pullman box car in
which he and his prisoner travelled. He
came so near rolling his weary head
upon rail that only the brim of his hat
was cut off. The train hands loaded his
chiefship back into the car and he did
not fall out again until the train reached
the San Fernando street depot in this
city. He was too drunk then to explain to
a policeman that he was the great chief
of the Cahuilla tribe, and the cop,
taking him for d ''poor deludherad black
naygur," sent for the patrol wagon
Thus the proud descendant OF the Aztecs
slept through the night in the calaboose.
Next morning Juan Razon showed up in
the district court and was discharged and
in the afternoon the big chief of the dig
gers was one of DOZEN drunken buns who
ambled into the dock of the police court
to get their medicine.
That was the end of the threatened war
between the factions of native sons of the
desert.

MIR. Dooner Reads a Paper on Trusts ana

The Historical Society held its monthly
meeting for April on Monday evening IN
the city court room. The secretary, J.
M. Quinn. read an invitation to the So
ciety to send delegates to the meeting OF
the international geographical congress
which meets in London. England, July

talist, through the instrumentallty or
combination, are in the enjoyment OF
superabundance.
of the agricultural classes the writer rec
commended the formation of trusts. call
meetings, district the county, combining
from twenty to fifty agriculturists in an
association, then incorporate The several
boards of corporate directors should be
empowered to regulate production ana
apportion the kinds and extent OF the crops
to be planted throughout each of the sew
eral districts. They shoul also control
| the harvesting and marketing OF the pro
| ducts and the distribution of the pro-
ceeds as dividends when the crops are
| finally disposed of. Some OF the advant-
ages of the trust are that it abolishes the
middle man and distributes all the pro-
fits arising from agriculture among the
persons who have created the wealth.
4 If rightly managed It will do away with
ruinous competition and prevent over
production of certain commodities.
1t will create a solidarity in the agricul'
tural classes which, combined with their
numerical strength. will place the control
of public affairs largely in their hands sc
long as they will remain divorced from
the professional politician-the one great
abiding evil of our institutions. The
paper was discussed by MessTs. Barrows
Dooner and Quinn.

BASEBALL AT VALLEJO.

Try Conclusions on
Sunday.

The Olympic baseball team and its enter
prising manager, Professor William Ken
nedy, d. G.. f., will visit Vallejo on Sun
day for the purpose of giving the crack
professional baseball team of Solano
County an opportunity of seeing how anna
teur athletes can play ball. Among the
Vallejo nine are several first-class players,
who have spiked several hundred yards of
turf in making home runs during the past
eight or ten years.
They are thoroughly conversant with all
of the little tricks in connection with the
national game, but as there have been
some new schemes introduced within the
past twelve months which the Olympics
have, in the lexicon of their manager, got
down as fine as granulated sugar. the pro-
fessionals of Vallejo may hope for some
unexpected surprises, and particularly
from the catcher and pitcher. The game
however, will be strictly an exhibition of
the playing qualities of the amateur and
professional mines, and it goes without
saying that large and enthusiastic crowd
will witness the sport. The following is
the make up:
