KILLED HIS MOTHER.

An exchange from Utah tells the
following story of how one of the Ute
Indians paid the debt of killing his
mother:
H p. Myton. United States Indian
agent at White Rocks. Utah, has
among the Ute Indians on his reserva-
ton a man who for twenty years has
done awful penance to atone for the
accidental killing of his mother. but
who, in spite of what he has passed
through. thinks that he has not yet
suffered sufficiently for his transgres-
sion.
The killing was entirely accidental.
and the tribe held the Indian blame
less and did not punish him. His con-
science, however. was his accuSer. and
il held him up as Il criminal.
When his first burst of grief was
over he imposed harsh sentence upon
himself. He made a solemn VOW that
for the rest of his life he would not
wear clothing or enter a house tepee,
or other dwelling.
For more than twenty years the red
skin has kept his word. He sleeps in
the open air. with piece of old blank
ct about three feet square hung over
him on some sticks. He is entirely
nude.
Mr.. Myton says the Indian lies on
the ground through the winter. even
when the thermometer goes as low as
forty degrees below zero.

SAN ANTONIO. TEX. Nov. 10
For the past eight days the city has
been at a great inconvenience as a re-
suit of the telephone strike and no lit
tie impatience is manifested at the ex-
tended delay. The settlement seems
as far off at this writing as when the
strikers or employers seem willing to
concede anything. The chief officials
OF the company are here from Lowell
Mass. and announce that they will op-
crate the exchange with new people
The strikers declare that they cannot
do il and are putting in their time Wis
iting various phone subscribers and
urging them To order their instruments
out unless the strike is not settled.
No attempt has been made up to the
time of this writing. to operate the To-
cal exchange since the strike and the
citizens thus left without the fire pro-
lection usually afforded. and without a
telephone service. are beginning to feel
rather sore"
The result of the election was no

Col. Oscar c. Guessaz inspector OF

AS it was a bad place to get at he took
the pants OFF and while cleaning them

message from the Belgian minister,
dated Pekin, Aug. 2, seems effectually
to dispose of the rumors that the min
listers have either left or are intending
to leave Pekin.
The Chinese minister in London, Sir
Chih Chen Lo Feng Luh, says he has
received a telegram from China an
nouncing that a long imperial edict
was issued on Aug. authorizing the
immediate and safe conveyance Of all
Europeans in Pekin to Tien Tsin.
Several dispatches are printed Civ

the allies. when my report left, were

to recover from the effects of battle.
Only a small garrison, with IA guns,
remains at Tien Tsin, where some
anxiety is felt because of report that
$4,000 Chinese are said to be moving

All the correspondents agree in
praising the bravery and organization
of the Japanese.
LII Ping Heng, according to the
Shanghai correspondent of The Stand

of the Chinese forces and has left
