MEN WHO RUN on WATER.
A Strange Tribe of Indians Found in
Iovver CaliforuiH

A Strange Tribe of Indians Found in
Lower California.
Sso Of the strangest peoples of the
world. Iribs Of mystical persons, was re-
ported by United States Consul Hugh
Long, at Nogales, Mexico, to the state de-
partment. It is the tribe which inhabits
Tiburon Islands, inthe Gulf of California,
and which recently slew Captain Porter,
who fought from his boat while dying.
The Consul says the Island Of Tiburon
is one Of the largest and most pictur-
esque in the Gulf Of California, and is
peopled by the Seris Indians, who are
noted for their large size and extrsordin-
airy athletics on land and water.
Those who have witnessed their
aquatic sports at respectful distance
declare that many Of them actually
walk and run upon the water with no
other assistance than broad rawhide
shoes.
They are, writes the Consul, expert
fl i,hermen and huntsmen, having rigid
ideas as to the maintenance Of game pre-
serves on their island and limiting the
killing Of game under severe penalties.
They destroy all children in infancy
that are malformed or appear to be lack
ing in intelligence. In this way the stan
dard of physical and mental conditions
in both sexes is kept very high.
1t is currently believed that at one time
the native women were exterminated 20
make room for a whittier and superior
race OF women. The nucleus of this race
of higher women was formed from cap
tives made at various times, extending
over a series Of years, on land and
water.
They have no schools, but each home
has system Of physical training. The
natives guard their shores day aud night,
and no man is allowed 10 penetrate the
Island, even If he should make a land
ing.
1t is said that no epidemics have ever
prevailed on the Island and disease IS
scarcely known among this extraordinary
people, so that the men and women are
magnificent in their physical endow-
ment.
No man or woman is allowed TO live
beyond the age of 20 years, no matter
how well preserved in body and mind.
By careful selection a large percentage
of the women have a tran sparent peachy
complexion and deep auburn hair.

An Innocent Man Lyuehed.

"An innocent man was hanged by
iynchers at WiIliamsport," was the start
ling statement made Monday by Chief
Justice Corliss, of the North Dakota State
supreme court
~ have ample documentary evidence
to the statement" continued the Judge.
THE supreme court ordered a new trial
in CoudOt's case. because it appeared that
he was convicted on the uncorroDorated
evidence Of Holytrack and Ireland, both
of WHOM; confessed to taking part in the
murder Of the Spieer family, and whose
statements were refuted by the strongest
testimony given by DIR. Ross, the resident
agency physician at Standing Rock. DR..
Ross's veraeity is unquestioned, aud his
testimony is supported by notes from his
memorandum book. Another fact is that
Holytrack and Ireland made two other
previous confessions, in neither of which
did they implicate Coudot. HOlytraek
and Ireland were sure TO have expiated
their crime on the gallows, as there was
no question of their guilt, but the mob
made 10 distinction. and hanged the in
nOcent with the guilty. The lynching of
CoudOt is fOnl crime and blot on the
fair name OF the State, and his marderers
should not go unpunishedf
