While in Provo the ether day
the editor of this paper was told
that Otto Mslmberg would bet
S1s that he can and will get a
majority in Santaquin. That may
be true, but in our opinion it
shows poor Judgement in those
voters. They should know better
as they have had the advantage
of knowing Otto longer than the
most of us for which they have
our sympathy. On the whole we
believe 1t might be just as well if
he kept his money in his pocket.
A circus shell-game man might
"get onto" him Then besides
we think there is some illegality
in candidates betting on election.
Probably it wouldn't hurt Otto to
post hiuself on the law.

canon-and the trail to the edge of the lat
ter was scarcely a mile longer.
Straightway he began to turn over in his
mind now he could eSca pc the fate which
the redskins had planned for him. He knew
that some distance ahead the mesa sloped
10 the edge of the canon, where was an
abrupt fall of - or 30 feet. The bed of
the gorge was filed with scrub pine which
could any one gain them, would hide him
from the eyes of the Indians and escape
might be possible. Then another thought
came to him. Could he leave Sam to the
mercy of the saVages? What would Sally
say if he returned without her lover? He
shut his hands hard for he knew the Gus
toms of the Indians; if one prisoner escaped
they would dOubly torture his companion.
A quarter OF a mile down the trail some
one had located a claim, leaving a pie of
rock on the edge of the mesa to mark the
spot; 1t was at that point lay the descent
10 the bed of the canon.
As the mules came abreast of the deserted
claim Packsaddle made gesture to the
Apaches, that he wished to stop for a mo-
Ment. He knew the Indian craze for any
, thing in the shape of firearms and decided
TO try trick on them.
SAM said he, speaking so all the braves
could hear him, Just step over to the edge
of the canon and get the rifle l left there
on our last trip, at the edge of the pile

But YOU didn't leave a gun, Parks" re-
piled Porter. surprised at the request
You just go and look said PacksaddIe,

Sam started toward the canon, two of the
Indians following him. When he reached
the edge, PdcksaddIe let out yell of
agony.
Jump. Sam. jump he shouted. I'm
knitted. an I'm dyin'."
Sam was SO scared he didn't wait to look
back over his shoulder. He was over the
edge into the canon like flash and had
disappeared in the scrub pine before the as

When the Indians realized how they had
been fooled they set up a terrific yelling and
started for their remaining prisoner, but

them. AS Sam went over the side of the
canon he bounded away like a frightened

How he got back to the Gila he could
never exactly tell, but having thrown of

1t was a sorry sight which greeted him:

1t did not take a second glance to tell
him the Indians had been there, burned
the house and killed or carried off Abe
and the women. He reconnotered for
while to make sure the savages Were
gone, then swan the river and approached
the ruined ferry house.
The first thing he saw was Abe's mu-
tilated body lying upon the ground. A
sickening fear seized hinl-the women had
been carried off by the Apaches.
He sat down upon the ground, cursing
the fate which had taken him and Sam
Porter from the ferry house, then sud-
denly started and laid his hand upon the
haft of his hunting knife. His ears,
trained to catch the slightest sound, had
caught a Sob arising, seemingly, from the

HOURS AND WAGES
Some Prospects Of a Big Railroad
Strike

PITTSBURG, Sept. 21.-The Post says
today that for some time past rumors Of
a big railroad strike have been circulated
but nothing could be learned until yester-
day, when It developed that the conductors
and brakemen of the roads entering Pitts
burg want to be placed on an equality with
their brethren in other parts of the coun-
try. To accomplish this object these two
branches of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen yesterday presented to the OFF,
Gals of all railroads entering this city a
scale of wages. An answer is requested
within thirty days.
The demand calls for a ten-hour day with
extra for every hour put in beyond that.
The rate of wages asked is as follows: Day
conductors, 81 Is; day brakemen. $50; night
yard conductors. $3.50; night yard brake
men, $40. Extra per hour: Day con-
ductors, Ply cents: day brakemen, % cents;
night conductors, 20 cents; night brakemen,
q cents. The present wages are based on
12-hour day.
It Is claimed by the men that the rate
asked by them is paid in Chicago, Cleve-
land, Youngstown and many other West
ern cities.
The district for which the advance is
asked extends east as far as Altoona and
west to Ashtabula. Ninety-nine per cent
of the conductors and brakemen In this
district are members of the Brotherhood,
and they expect the companies to grant
their demands without a strike being nee
essary.

THE NATIVES OF HAWAII
NOT UNANIMOUS IN FAVOR OF
ANNEXATION
A Strong Faction Working for the
Restoration Of the Queen Under
American Protection

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. N.-The steam
ship Alameda arrived today from Aus
tralian points via Honolulu. Advices from
the latter place under date of September
IA say that the Congressional Commission
crs are finishing their work and expect to
leave for Washington on September 2ad.
The commissioners are now being deluged
with petitions and memorials from the ma
tive Hawaiians. The sentiment of the ma
tives appears to be divided. One faction
desires the restoration Of the Queen. while
the other accepts the new order Of things
and asks for certain rights under the new
form of government.
The natives who favor the restoration
held a mass-meeting on September IL and
adopted memorial which was presented to
the commissioners. The memorial alleges
that the annexation treaty has failed and
the joint resolution is ineffective because
1t was not passed by the people Of the
Hawaiian Islands or their representatives
in the Legislature. The memorial con-
cludes by asking that the constitutional
government Of January 16. 1893. be restored
under the protection Of the United States
OF America Among the speakers at the
mass-meeting was Robert w. Wilcox. the
revolutionist, who a few weeks ago took
the oath of allegiance in order to qualify
himself for full pardon for past mis-
deeds Pointing to the United States flag
over the government building, he said: TT
Is useless to say that the flag over there
will not come down again. 1t was UP be-
fore and 1t came down. 1t will be shown
that the annexation vote will be carried
through nv handful Of foreigners II
America loves us. why were not Ha-
waiians placed on the commission. We
are not represented there The next thing
we shall not be able to vote"
The other faction Of Hawaiians also
presented a memorial to the commission.
This memorial asks for a Territorial form
of government. with full rights for the
natives and permission to make provis-
ion for ex-Queen Liliuokalani. Princess
Kaiulani and Queen Dowager Kapiolani.
