Tor valuablea, the women and girls being
subjected to indignities. Not finding a.
much - they wanted, the guerrillas shot
two young men, pretending that they weze
Spanish deserters. Six others were tied 10
trees and horribly whipped.
Two young women were tied to trees,
their hacks we've barred and the lash was
applied numerically because they resisted
the soldiers advances. Their screams 30
aroused the anger Of the older women thsa
they made combined attack on the guer-
IItl00 with CLUBS.
The guerrillas easily beat them OF, then

1ftem or twenty men and women and two
young children.
The women who were whipped were left

fugitives returned after the guerrillas had
gone and liberated them, they would have
died OF exhaustion. These poor people,
lett without food.or shelter, took up their
abode IN the foothills, building themselves

died from exposure and not more than
thirty Of the seventy five now survive.

Settles 1t.

An investigation Of the various statutes
passed at the last session of the legislature
show that there were two acts passed max
ing provision for the submitting of amend
ments for vote of the people. The first
one which was approved March IL, 1875, is
chapter S6, which provides that amend
ments shall be printed on each ticket on
the ballot, and the second is chapter q,
which was approved March II, 1895,
which provides, whenever the secretary
OF state has duly certified to the
county auditor any question to be SUBJ
mitted to vote of the people, the county
auditor shall have printed on the regular
ballots the question in such form as will
enable the electors to vote upon the ques-
ton presented" This act contains the
usual clause providing for the repeal of all
acts or parts Of acts conflicting with the
same, and as it Is later law than the one
approved on the 18th, it will rule in the
present question, and the technical question
which has been raised as to the failure of
the amendments to carry has lost all its
force.

the state in paying taxes on all the tracts.

locate in the state. He predicts larger
immigration in 1897 than for many years.
