ing in Vacation Time.

Needles Cal. July 11.-Since the closing
of the term of school. last week. at Fort
MOiaVe. there has been much trouble be-
tween the Indians and the superintendent
jor J. j. Mckoin. 1t seems that the
parents Of the Indian scholars think the
children should be permitted to come
home 1T the close of the school, but Ma
jor Nc koin insists that they shall remain
al work on the school farm. A dispatch
was sent at the instance Of the Indians
last week. to President Mckinley saying
IL the scholars were not allowed to come
home. the "Mojaves will make trouble"
few days later the Indian boys ran
away from the fort and Supt. McKoin
with his deputies have been trying tn
capture them and take them back. Sat
urday, Mckoin and deputy went to
camp on the Arizona side Of the Colo
RADIO, three miles from Needles, to take
! boy. and were 1T upon by the squaws.
Several bucks appeared on the scene
with the result that the officers were
overcome and terribly beaten.
On Sunday. three bucks and one suuaw
were captured by Constable Burt of
Needles, and later taken to Kingman foe
trial, While in Jail here the building was
continually surrounded by MOjaves, who
acted in a threatening manner. Hun
dreds are still hanging about the town
and II is feared that trouble of a serious
nature may occur before the Indian schol-
ars are returned to the fort.

DEMOCRATS SWEPT
FIELD YESTERDAY.
Though Vote Was the Smallest in
Many Years.
GREAT APATHY is MANIFESTED
Of 1000 Registered Voters in County
the Total Vote Yesterday Was Less
Than 800. No Opposition to Ticket
Here. "A Clean Sweep.

No one would have suspected that q
state and county election was in prog
ress in Americas Yesterday unless they
had gone to the courthouse, inquired
the way to the polls and peeped in
upon the little groupe of managers and
clerks as they sat, almost idle,
through the day.
Such a dull and spiritless election
has never before been held in Sumter
county, as clearly evidenced by the
vote here and at the precincts.
This was due to the fact thst there
was practically no opposition to the
Democratic nominees, and as people
were generally very busy they failed
to go to the polls, as otherwise they
would have done. Then, too, the
weather was bad, and this tended to
keep many people at home.
Less than 400 votes; probably less
thar 300, were cast at all of the eight
precincts in Sumter county, out of a
total registered vote of more than
1900. It was indeed a light vote.
It was certainly poor showing for
Democratic old Sumter county.
Shortly after the opening of the polls
it began raining and continued through
out the day, At noon only hundred
votes had been polled at the courthouse
and at p. M, the number had not
reached two hundred. There was prac-
tically no Scratching of tickets, and
it is said also that but five populists
voted here.
The vote at the country precincts
was likewise very light, though the
returns were not sent to the city last
night. When consolidated today Sum
ter's vote will probably be three hun
dred and fifty or four hundred.
This year, besides the state ticket.
Sumter elects E. l.. Bell, sheriff; j. Ell.
Allen, clerk of court; J. e. Sullivan,
treasurer; 7. M. Allen, ordinary; j. B.
Dunn, tax collector; j. P. Raiford, tax
receiver; j. FL. Cheek, coroner; d. p.
Holt, surveyor. All of these, with the
exception of Messrs. E. L. Bell, T. M.
Allen and J. H. Cheek held their re-
spectlve offices heretofore,
The commissions of all the county
officers Will date from Jan. 1st next.
Messrs. W.T.. Lane and B. L. JOINER
for the legislature. and Hon. j. E.
Hays for the senate, received practi-
cally the solid vote cast in Sumter, as
did Judge z. A. Littleiohn and Solici-
tor General F. A. Hooper. In fact,
there was but very little if any scratch
of tickets, and should have been none
at all.
The total vote cast at the courthouse
or city precinct yesterday was 202.

everyone will await its appearance
with interest. A dozen of the most

READY FOR PAsTURING
Farmer Picks Last Bale and Winds
up His Crop.

There is one small farm g, few miles
west of Americas that is ready for pas
turing cattle. The owner came to
town yesterday with his last bale of
cotton, and said that he was entirely
through picking. He made a fairly
good crop, but within the last week he
wound up with the feecY and is now
ready to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Other farmers in Sumter have pretty
we'll finished picking, though there are
others who may not get through
before the end of the month.
Conditions vary, though 1t is fact
that all farm work will be completed
much earlier this season than last year.
