Jose Romero, the governor Of the In
dian pueblo of Jemez, is languishing in
the county jail at Albuquerque for lack
Of IS to pay a fine imposed upon him
by the district court for delaying the

cording to the rules of the fiesta no an

the wagon carrying the mails through
Jemez, tried to continue his journey on
that day, just as he did on the other
days of the year. He was on his way
from Albuquerque to Perea, but was
stopped at the town line of Jemez, eli
ther to 60 back orsto drive around the
town. He declined to do either, and the
chief compelled him to keep his horse
of the sacred streets. Az result the
mail driver made a complaint to the
government, and the Indian chief was
arrested and tried at Albuquerque,
Judge Crumpacker sentencing him to
pay fne Of IS.

1t Stalks Through India With Death II
Its Wake.

Calcutta, April 23.-Official reports
from the famine districts say that the
misery existing there is indescribable
and unparalleled. The present relief is
quite inadequate. They add that the
mortality among cattle is also so severe
that the authorities are trying to adapt
farm implements so human power can
replace that of bullocks. Such drastic
measures never before have been neces-
sary, even in the greatest scarcity of
animals. 1t is also announced that the
natives are developing ugly feelings and
are attacking Europeans. A crowd on
Friday murderously attacked the SOL
diers at Shappur,. a military center in
the northwest provinces. The soldiers
were rescued with difficulty.
