bond was reduced to $50 in each case
 on guarantee by MT. Burger that the
 Indians would be present for trial.
 Last evening about 10 o'clock two iycung men from the Adams hotel were
 passing along Center street near the
 M. & P. railroad offices when they be- came aware of a strong smell of some
 thing burning. They looked all
 around, discovering nothing, yet the
 smell and smoke were plainly there.
 They were badly puzzled until a horse
 hitched to post close by gave signs
 of great uneasiness. The young men
 looked toward the horse and found
 that the rope by which he was hitched
 was ablaze right at the knot and about l the time they stepped to the horse the rope burned through and dropped to ] the ground. Just at that moment the
 owner of the horse put in an appear ance, several others happened along, a council was held, and 1t was -unani-
 mously concluded that some over
 jealous patriot had set fire to the rope because he had an American grudge against manila.
 Captain F. F. Parker has had for a number of years at his residence on Sixteenth avenue near Adams street, about half dozen plants of the night blooming cereus order and every year.
 by invitation, his friends have gath el ed at his home to witness the open ing exercises of these plants Here tcfore they have been faithful to some system all their own and bloome1 on the 18th of July. If the plants could l~1 I'd iv, fh-, habit of prejudice it might be said of them that they were partial to the Prince of Orange, but as this cannot be said, and cannot be known with or without certainty, the chances are that they would have bloomed on the 18th of July even if owned by Brian Boru Of Glibberumg glib. in the county of Monaghan, Ireland. This year they fooled everybody and bloomed on Sat urday night last, every one Of them. Whether they had transferred their prejudices in favor of the county cen tral democratic committee which met on that day, or to the English in memory of the downfall of Napoleon same day, 1915, the Parker family is unable to say. and it may be just as well not to guess at it
 MT. Thomas D. Bennett, assistant United States attorney, returned from yesterday, where he had gone to attend the examination of a man named Byington, and two boys named Tunnel, charged with stealing ten ponies from the Apaches of the White Mountain reservation. The h. dians missed the ponies about two hours after the theft, and taking the trail at Geronimo followed it to Sol omonyiile where they overlook the thieves and horses The sheriff ar rested Byington and the two boys. At the examination the boys pleaded guilty, but in their explanation said that they believed the ponies belonged to Byington Byington himself claimed that he had bought the horses of the Indians, but he admitted that he would not be able to recognize the Indian with whom he had done business. He was held to the federal grand jury in the sum of s700. The bail of the boys was fixed at $500 each. The prisoners were taken to Florence. On the way from Solomonville to the railroad sta- ton they were taken past the camp of the parents of the boys. A little brother, hardly more than four years old, wearing a pair of overalls, came to the roadside. When he saw his brothers in irons, he cried out, half sobbing, Goodbye, Sam!" Turning his head in a manful effort to hide his tears, he cried again, Goodbye. Bob!
