state Department Watching Them
and May Send War Vessel.
Washington, July lS.-The state depart
ment is watching with anxiety develop
ments in Guatemala.
1t is premature 20 say that the decision
has been reached to send the Philadelphia
from San Francisco down to that coun-
try, and it may be that the presence Of
the gunboat Vixen on the east coast will
be regarded as sufficient for the present
But there are hints of foreign action that
might involve repetition of the Corinto
incident, and in that case, it is probab Bile
IL would be deemed necessary by our gov
ernment to have a stronger naval repre-
sentation at the seat Of trouble.
1t is said at the state department that
the financial conditions in Guatemala
with impending reputation, threaten Sc
we're loss to American citizens. But so far
our government has not consented to take
any joint action with England, Germany
or any other nation, to bring pressure to
bear upon the disturbed republic
1t is probematicai what attitude will be
adopted by our government in case an at
tempt should be made by European gov
ernments to seize customs houses in Qua
temaa to collect money for bondholders
In the case Of the Corinto landing ques-
ton of national honor was involved, an
indemnity having been demanded by Eng
land for the il-treatment of her consular
officers. But our government has hereto
fore and notably in Mr.. Blaine's time,
leaned to the belief that the holders of
government bonds, being individuals, took
their bonds subject TO the vlcissitudes and
chances Of repudla ion the prices being
regulated by the risks incurred.

ACCUSED OF WITCH-NLLING
Three Seminole YOunS Women Bound

Three Seminole YOunS Women Bound
Over TO tao Federal Grand Jury.
Guthrie o. T. Aug. H-That witch-klll-
ing Is still practiced among the Ind.aps
is shown by the following frcm the Mus
kogee Times: Lucy Chism, Katie Rob
ertson and Salne Yahola, three Seminole
young women, charged with the murder
of Peggy Barnett. an alleged witch, were,
on Thursday. given preliminary hearing
before Commissioner Fears at Hoidenvills.
The evidence adduced was sufficient to
warrant the holSing Of the defendants
and they were each held in tn sum OF
800 to await the action OF the federal
grand jury, which convenes at Wewoka
on September Is. None of the defendants
all of whom were represented by Attorney
]. NJ. GIvens of this city, can speak any
other than their native tongue and an
interpreter was necessary at the examln-
alton. The killing with which the women
are charged occurred early last June near
wewoka, In the Seminole nation, and was
melted by a confirmed belief In WITCH
craft. The Chism and Robertson girls had
been led to believe that a relative, a suf-
ferer from consumption had been "con-
jured'' by old Peggy Barnett and. inter-
ceptlng the aged Indian as she was Cross
ing a field where they were at work, the
girls, assisted by Sallie Yahola. attacked
her with hoes and clubs. The Door old
creature was pounded into pulp. 1t is
alleged, but, remarkable to say. she sur
vived the beating nearly a week. The
defense admits the attack upon old lady
Barnett, but claim and hope to prove
that her death resulted from natural
causes and not the beating she received.

were Mortified Wednesday when one of
the graders in use turned up lot of
human bones. At first there was little
attention given to the matter, but when

the grader kept turning up the bones. an
investigation was made by all The men
Road Overseer Cochran, Hugh Ilahsbro,
Roy Diffenbaugh and others. 'rhe ground
was considerably broken up, thus making
1t quite difficult to tell the number Of
bodies; but from all the appearances
there were three bodies. Upon exposure
and touch the bones all crunbled 10 a
fine dust. The theory Is that years ago
a party Of travellers must have oamped
on this spot and were killed W Indians.
Afterward the bodies were discovered by
whites. and, being unknown, were buried
just where found. The depth where the
bodies were found was about four feet
beneath the surface. Among other thirss
there were found some Indian pottery,
buttons and quite a number Of teeth.
Many of the trinkets were distributed
