OF oliver w Dorian Of No. 142 LexingtonaVe had
been broken into by burglars some time during the
day previous while the family was absent Several
detectives were put on the case. and upon invesu-
CATION they found that the thieves had forced an
entrance TO the house in an unusual way. Inc
building adjoining the Dorian dwelling has been I'M
occupied for many months. 1t was through the
wall Of this house that the burglars started to get
into the place which they robbed. The hole In the
wall was just large enough TO admit the passage

and carelessly thrown aside. The Dorian family
had gone out early in the morning and did not re-
turn until late the night. A member or the
family found everything upside down. and soon be-
came aware OF the fact that intruders had been
making search OF the house. short time after
ward the hole in the wall upstairs was discovered
Several detectives sent TO the house. and they
are now searching for several pieces OF jewelry the
value Of which is unknown. which the burglars look

BLUE-EYED ABORfGINES.
From The Ensadena Lower Californian

The Ceris without doubt are one Of the most in
teresting tribes of aboriglnes to be found on this
hemisphere They are said TO have fair skins and
blue eyes and bear resemblance whatever to the
Indian tribes OF the mainland the peninsula.
In former days they made ncursons upon the main
land spreading havoc along the coast but in later
years they have kept closely TO their island home.
They extremely fierce and warlike and use
be very mounts inous. with lnnunerable rugged
canyons and gorges. where the Indians ambush, and
which renders subdulng them impossbllity.
Beyond the fact of the existence Of the Ceris tribe
very little IS known Their habits and language
are said to be peculiar to themselves while their
origin Is a subject OF conjecture. The island shows
sign OF vegetation from the Gulf, and theii
method OF gaining a subsistence Is unknown. Skip
pers cruising In those waters carefully avoid this
island peopled with blue-eyed savages. and It's
ragged outlines which loom up In the Gulf are
shrouded In mystery.
