expressed great dissatisfaction My
daughter heard him coming into the
room. She asked him to keep STILL He
swore at her, telling her to mind her own
business Then he told her TO take her
children and get out of the house. She
said the children were in bed and it was
too late at night to leave. Grabbing a
knife he rushed at her. Picking up a
broken pitcher from a shelf at her side
she hit him over the head"
Turner's story differs materially from
that told by his WIFE He denies being
drunk; He told his step-daughter to
get him something to eat and a quarrel
ensued. During the excitement she hit
him on the head.
Turner loudly bewails the girls in
gratitude. He says he spent over $10G00
on her education. Her husband will not
work, he says, and Turner supports the

Professor Stars Interesting An
thropological Searches in
Central America.

CHICAGO. April IA, 1S96-Frederick
A. Starr, Professor of Anthropology in the
University of Chicago, returned yesterday
from a three months trip through unex-
plored portions OF Guatemala and Mexico.
Prof. Starr's object in making the trip was
to visit all the ruins in the TWO countries,
which in his trip last summer he had
heard SO highly praised. and to find the
pygmy tribe whichI1as supposed to hive
somewhere about there.
Prof. Starr said the country offered spec
ial facilities for research in his line. In
Cazaca, nineteen different languages are
spoken, thirteen in Chiapas and twenty
one in Guatemala. This indicates as
many different tribes of people, and the
opportunity to study them is extraordin-
ary.
Concerning the pygrnies, and whether
these small people of the country might
not be descended from the mountain
idiots. the Professor said
Il found lots of idiots in the country;
regular colonies of them but in no ease
and the little people. Cretins, as the
ldlots are called, are descendants of
Goitres people. Goitre is disease that
is caused by the water the people drink
pie are usually deaf, dumb and idiotic.
The small people are not diseased and re-
tain all their faculties. There are SO
many of them that it is impossible to
call them freaks, but I could not find a
pygmy tribe from which they might be
descended, and don't believe there is
such a tribe
