Yesterday he was walking across the office, where he works, when suddenly he felt moist ure in the vicinity of the scar. AS he pulled up his trousers and underwear the blood glls|hed in a perfect stream from the wound and in a few minutes he became delirious. Police Surgeon Mack was sent for and after he had staunched the flow, he removed Kiersch to St. Luke's hospital.

 He called at the city hall today and got warrant for the arrest of one of his neighbors who is to blame, he says, for the persecution. He carried a big roll of the placards which have been posted in his fields from time to time. All were written on large pieces of brown paper.

Poisoning was suspected and the fowl were cut open and the suspicion confirmed. His peach orchard next began to suffer and his trees were uprooted. Mace claims to have seen the suspected neigh bor doing this and asked for a warrant on this ground. He furnished the names of those who had seen some of the cards posted and those who had seen his orchard attacked, and they will be used as witnesses. Mace stated that he was in mortal fear of his life, not daring to leave his wife in the house while he came to the city.

 "For many years prior to his start ling disappearance, MT. Scott and his wife had been among the most valued friends of myself and family. I had the utmost confidence in his moral in tegTity and Christian fidelity and I know her to be woman of irreproach- able character and highest worth. Hence when came his fall and the de- serted wife appealed to me for help, I respondedeat once. Though herself one of the most sinned against, found this deserted and heart broken wife practically abandoned by large ma jority of those to whom she had the right to look for sympathy and SUD- port.
 "All I have done in the matter has been to advise and assist this woman in the protection of her rights. As tc MT. Scott himself, I am content to leave him in the hands of the law have not sought to excuse wrong oI stand between him and the just con- sequences of his act. The good peo- pie of Waterloo have been excited te a high degree over this wretched case and under such excitement full justice has not always been done to innocent parties "

When the train arrived it was surrounded by acres and acres of frantic people. When MT. and Mrs. Bryan and MT. and Mrs. Bland entered their carriages the re- lentless throng closed around them and seemed to bear them along with it. The hotel was finally reached and while the party was supping the streets resounded with the continuous clamor from the thousands of threats. The evening meetings were announced to occur at 8 o'clock in the Grand opera house and the Avenue theater.
 
 entire street in front of these struc- lures was packed full along the entire block, and after the doors were op- ened the structures were filled and the crowd outside suffered little apparent diminution. The crowd fingered out side in noisy, but peaceful, disappoint- ment, and a tolerable rain that came soon after the speakers began dimin- ished it but little, the street remaining full until the meetings closed.

INDIAN BOYS AND GIRLS.
Securing Homes for them in Southern
 California.

Los Angeles Times: Harwood Hall, dian school near Phoenix, and his wife, who is matron of the school, are in Los Angeles. The main purpose of their coming is to find homes in south ern California for some of the Indian boys and girls of the school.
 This plan of sending them into civ ilized homes is known as the outing system" and has been in successful operation for a considerable time. There are now about one hundred and forty boys and girls from this school in white families, chiefly in the Salt River valley. In explanation of the plan Superintendent Hall said:
 "The idea of the school is of course to civilize the Indians. To accomp- fish this there must be a complete change of surroundings, and they do i better when they are entirely relieved from the older Indians We place the boys and girls in good families and we leave them there as long as there is satisfaction on both sides While in these families they are still under the supervision of the school. There are now about fifty girls in the school for whom we would like to find homes in southern California.
 ''The girls do all kinds of house. work. Cooking, ironing and caring for children. They are quick to learn and when they have once learned they never forget. The boys do farm work and all sorts of work about the house, such as sweeping and scrubbing. They are really industrious. The Pimas, Papagoes and tMaricopas are the best workers. Hereafter we shall have Apadhes and Navajoes in the school, but there are none now
 Everybody who has had these boys and girls are pleased with them. I want to find homes for them only among the best people. The fare both ways is paid by the government. Of course the boys and girls receive small wages and this serves to keep them interested. The girls get from S5 to $8 month and the boys from S5 to SIP; the boys are men in strength for they are from 16 to 20 years old. The girls are from IA to 20.
 ''We send them out only when they can understand English. Usually we keep them in the school two years. The boys are taught irrigation, farm ing, fruit raising, care of cattle and other livestock, wagon making, black smithing, carpentry, tailoring, shoe making, harness making and engineer ing. They get also good knowledge of electric and steam plants. The girls learn general housework, cooking, ironing, fancy work, sewing, etc. All of these Indian boys and girls are thoroughly honest.
 There are now a number of Indian girls here in southern California who came here with Arizona people for the summer. We have now 383 boys and
 girls in one school and 400 were re-
 fused last year. Ours is a non-res- ervation school and the boys and girls are promoted to it from the reserva- , tion schools. It is combination of g high school and a manual-trainins . school. The boys nave done great : deal of work about the school. They , built the water tank, the office build. ing and the band stand. We have z band of twenty-five pieces and an ex cellent choir. Thousands of visitor:
 visit the school every year.

land grant roads as test case. A trooper who travelled from Albuquer- que, N. M., to Prescott, Ariz., refused to pay full fare and rendered the con- ductor just half the regular price of ticket. The conductor refused to accept this and after transporting the trooper the company sued the govern ment. The case was argued before Judge Wellborn several months ago. Judge Terry appeared for the A. & P. and Jos. H. Call for the government
 It was not expected by the railroad that the decision should be SO far reaching, but it appears that the de- cision affects not only the railroads which have land grants, but all roads, and gives the government the right to fix the rates not only for it's own bus mess, but for all business done by all railroads provided the rates are such that a profit ensues from the road. Railroad attorneys say no appeal will be taken.

A Hundred Miles an Hour by Flee
trio Car.

An electrical engineer has been eX-
hibiting in London the model of his
proposed Single-rail electric line for
speeds Of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on n N-shapcd ~trestle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which. as
1t we're. runs astride on it. The car
runs on twelve bcal.ng wheels ana
seats 135 passengers with space for
their baggage. One of the difficulties
met with in schemes for excessive II %h-
speed travel is the tendency of the car
TO run off the track. BY running the
rail within the car the lateral tendency
OF the train is overcome. But III TINS
late scheme the great difficulty seems
to be the passenger. What would hap

took Il sharp curve while going at 100
miles an hour is not explained.
