what Jesus said, and that was TO me
glass to see Cod. Then | worked haI d
than ever, and wanted to see my people
read and write before 1 died. That was
my mind when General Howard saw ne.
Xe told me, Washington wants you 10
send your children to a place towards
where the sun goes down where they can
got to school
"God knows love my children. Gcd

came the next year aud asked il L could

sent mine. The next year he wanted
some mere. ! gave lin a lot of boys and
girls. They sent the sick back; the rest
died down there. (Of u pupils sent, l6
died.) i made up my mind that my pea
pie we're right in teing afraid TO send the
children away. Then 1 wanted a school
house right by my house. ! went to
Washington and spoke only one thing:
j like a school house Two men then
told Moses, Lot says he wants a school
house; do you want schoolhouse?'
Moses answered, 'No.' Then they asked
Tonaskit and again they used my name.
Lot says he wants a schoolhouse; do you
want oneg' mo, i snd my children to
Catholic school, Then they turned TO
me: why do you not send your children
10 Catholic school?' j want an American
and not an Italian 10 teach my children
They SAID, Lot you 60 home and in two
months you will have a schoolhouse.'
THAT was in 1889 II was three years
that was very anxious. They built ono
for Moses, and one for Tonnskit, but
none for me. j hear that they looked at
place on the hill ten miles from my
house. My people do not want to send
their children SO far away. IL / had had
white peoples. children / would have put
their bodies In a coffin and sent them
home SO that they could see them. ] do
not know who did it, but they treated
my people as il they were dogs. My peo-
pie are afraid: they won't allow any one
belonging TO them 10 be soldiers. But 1
want e. EN- to be soldiers / shall never
have a school house; but they can learn
many things by being soldiers. i vart
my boy to he n soldier, md then IL it is
good for him IL will he good for the rest -
The chief afterward added, ''They
should give me that school house. When
they buried 16 of our children they should
nav by building a school.

said, "Could that have been heard by an

receivers and converters OF stolen prop

Doubtless some are still to be found here,
but they are not very important, as the
watchfulness of the detective makes the
business so hazardous that IL cannot be
carried on with any degree OF safety. In
former days, however, the business OF the
s'fence' must have been Particularly
profitable one at least that would be the
impression one would get from reading
a little incident in the career of that no.
torious burglar and bank robber known
as Bristol Bill. William III. Warburton
was his real name, but he was known TO
his pals and to the police chiefly by bis
alliterative soubriquet. After nine
years term of confinement in the Yer
mont State prison Bristol Bill came to
Providence and took up his residence
with Jim Edgerton, who was also dar-
ing bank robber. Bristol Bill had been
i'm these plantations but short time
when want of money led him TO plan the
robbery of the Westminster Bank. The
same night on which he had decided TO
make the raid on the bank was chosen by
two of Edgerton's pals for descent on
High street grocery store. The latter got
TO work early, and were carrying on lot
of plunuer, which included barrel of
-four, in wheel barrow, when the night
watch ca ne in sight. The thieves left
the wbeelbarrow and disappeared. just
at that moment Bristol Btl, who, with
his kit of safe breaking tools, was on his
way to the Westminster Bank, came along
ana was taken into custody, not for the
contemplated bank robbery, but for loot
ing the grocery store, with which he had
nothing TO do.

share in big robtery.in Boston. Bris-
tol Bill wrote a letter 10 the gold reiiner
requesting him to go bail for him, sign
ing II with name he said the refper
would recognize. The answer TO this was
that the gold retiner diun't propose 10 go
bail Tor this one and that one. Then
Bristol Bill wrote another letter which
was far different from the first, for while
that was a simple request that the reiiner
become his surety the latter was a
peremptory demand backed up by cata-
logue of crimes in which Bristol Bill as
serted the retner and himself had been
engaged. When this epistle was read by
the refiner he turned pale and gasped

On this occasion Bristol Biil gave the
name-of Charles Arthur and the authori-
ties were not aware that they had in Gus
tody the most daring and dangerous rob-
ber in the country. Shortly after his ar
raignment a stranger appeared at the
Office OF Lycurgus Sayles and laying
down go gold piece as q retainer en-
gagged that gentleman as counsel TO de-
feud Bristol Bill. Mr.. Sayles at this time
had no idea that the man arrested as
Charles Arthur was the notorious crimi-
nal, nor was he made aware OF the fact
until some time later. When Mr.. Sayies
visited Bristol Bill nj the Jail he found
the latter disposed to regard him as an
emissary OF the police. When Mr. Sayles,
as he had been instructed TO do by the
stranger, whispered the words, "Bristol
Bill, the latter's manner changed and
he no longer looked upon the lawyer
with suspicion.
