a big square letter out on the muddy

The girl in the dark blue costume who

quickly back and wiped it carefully on the

let the girl have it.

tain number of Indians, adjoining the
estate of a rich Bolivian. The Bolivian
coveted the. foreigners property and
wanted to force him to sell it cheap.
He femented feud between his In
dams and these of the foreigner. The
crops Of the foreigners Indians were
pulled from the ground his men were
stoned, and at last they came to him
and told him their situation. He ask
ed them what they were going to DO
about it. They replied that If he would
allow them the key of the house and
church and give them forty pounds Of
cocoa leaves and six gallons Of alcohol
they would soon stop the trouble. They
tolG him that the Bolivian was trying
to make him sick of the bargain, and
that he was doing this so that he
would gladly sell out the property for
little or nothing. But" said the for
eigner to the chief of the Indians,
what can you do? You have only forty
men and the Bolivian has $50" The
chief said he would get the Indians of
other small farms near by to unite
with them. This they did. They con-
cealed these Indians in the church on
the estate, and when the marauding
Indians came again and began to pull
up the crops all sailed forth. There
was pitched battle, and about thirty
of the Bolivian's Indians were killed.
The result was that the Bolivian came
q day or so later to the foreigner and
asked him to sell him his place. Said
the foreigner: Yes, I will sell to you,
but my price is now 500, 000 I offered

They are a people of themselves,
with curious habits, queer customs
and a life and character peculiarly
their own. If 1 should say that slav-
cry still prevails in Bolivia 1 suppose
the statement would be disputed. 1t is
true nevertheless. These Indians are
to a great extent slaves. This is
feudal country and the men and wo-
men are bought and sold with the
farms on which they live. The fact
that they could perhaps leave upon
paying their debts does not alter the
matter. 1t is known that their attach
ment to their homes is such that they
viii not leave and the proprietor does
not hesitate to agree to deliver his hui
man goods with the property. The
most of the lands here are owned by
the Cholos or half breeds, who have
Spanish and Indian blood in them,
and by the whites, who are the de-
scendants of the Spaniards who con-
quered the country. Upon each farm
there is a community of these Indians,
who throughout the whole year give
three days of each week to their mas
ter and are allowed the remaining
days for themselves.
They receive no wages for working
for the owner of the plantation and

few things any right that anyone else
is bound to respect, and it is indeed
not an uncommon thing to see one
struck to make him move faster or
understand more quickly.
INDIAN FEUDS AND FIGHTS.
Notwithstanding their i'll treatment

masters. They are absolutely without

their lot. They will work for their
masters for nothing rather than receive
pay from a foreigner, and they will

The sling is the natural weapon of the
Aymara. He has the skill of David
and is never afraid 10 attack his

sling TO stone his sheep from straying
from the flock, and from behind his hut
often watches for his enemy and sends
a rock crashing through his brain. He
considers his masters grievances his
own, and will engage in any battle to
which he may be instigated by him.

the five-story brick building occupied
by the Britton Printing company, on

John Arbrandt, of 903 Logan avenue,
who jumped from the third floor, was
almost instantly killed.

The building was Quilted by the fire.
The loss is estimated at 100000.
