Hig hway Indians.

Mrs. j. J. Dixon's fourteen-year-old
boy had an unpleasant experience on
Sunday last. While passing along the
road on the Ahtanum on horseback, he
was surrounded by number of Indians
who insisted upon his trading horses
This the boy refused to do, whereupon
the Indians pulled him off his animal and
galloped off with it. The boy came home
and telling his story to the sheriff, Dep.
utv Lum was sent after it. Mr.. Lum
found the horse tied up in a stable where
the Indians left it stating that they
would call for it that evening, but they
never returned The horse was highly
valued as "A family animal and Mrs.
Dixon is rejoiced at again securing
possession OF it, even though the Indians
escaped just punishment for their cow

The Reason Why.

The first primary department of the
Central school last year was so full that
an assistant teacher was made necessary.
This year it has been deemed advisable
by the school management to divide this
grade into two sections instead each
section attending school half of each
day. This was done for economic rather
than pedagogical reasons, although il is
plan pursued by many OF the best
schools of the country, and is found to
work greatly to the advantage of young
pupils. We are not, however, trying it
as an experiment, but rather as an ex-
pedient, and We hope to have the indul-
gence of parents until other arrange
meDts shall be made.

ton and the deceased were walking
through the park on the day mentioned

without warning or apparent cause Horton
took knife from his pocket and stabbed
her to death. 1t is stated that Horton and
Mrs Nicholson had been together some
time before the crime was committed and
had been noticed by several persons sit
ting on one of the park benches chatting

ued until the regular panel for the present

ent were number OF ladies and many
police officers. The defence, it is under

mained nineteen challenges to be exercised

ditional talesmen be summoned to appear

INCANTATIoNs FAIL TO SAVE.
Treatment of "a "POw-WOw" Doctor
Upon a Sick Youth.

Upon a Sick Youth.
Lancaster, Pa. May 16-The death of
Amos n. Schwendt Sunday at his home, in
the village of New Danyille. was the direct
result of the widespread and superstitious
belief among the rural inhabitants of Lam
caster county in the "powwow" doctors
Few homes of the older Pennsylvania
Dutch farmers are without their witch
books. and charms are invoked to cure
slight ailments or to protect stock or
crops from the spells" of envious neigh
bors. In his case the services of the
''pow-wow" doctor were employed, and
with fatal results.
Schwendt, who was eighteen years old
and the son of well-to-do farmer, was
walking from church two weeks ago with
Harry Erb. Harry Brooks. John Harnish.
and Daniel Charles and four young wo-
men. Schwendt had been paying attention
20 one of the girls, and young Charles. 1t
is said, was reused to Jealous anger because
she preferred Schwendt to himself Ac-
cording to statement made by Schwendt
just before death, Charles suddenly at
lacked him and landed terrific blow on
his chin.
Schwendt became very i'll the following
day. Home remedies were tried. but
proved ineffective. Rejecting the serv-
ices of a physician, the family called in
the 'pow-wow" doctor. He made passes
over the patient and mumbled what was
supposed to be n charm against the dis
ease. Schwendt grew steadily weaker. but
so strong was the faith in the ''powwow"
doctor that he was kept in attendance for
a week. Finally the family was prevailed
upon to summon a regular physician. 1t
was then too late, as blood poisoning had
set in. and he was suffering from acute
facial erysipelas. The youth died yester-
day.
