The United States bureau Of Eth

Serl Indians Of Triburon Island in the
Sulf Of California, who have become
famous by reason Of their %extraordi-

the most primitive savages in North

about the seri." said Prof. w. ]. Nc

Gently, is that they seem to keep on
growing all their lives. Whether this
be In truth the case or not, l am very
sure that they continue to increase in
stature, until after they are 40 years OF
age-certainly a very extraordinary
phenomena from a physiological point
OF view. They have long been reputed
giants. and for this idea there IS some
ground, inasmuch as the men average
six feet in height and the women near

For the reason that l have mentioned

pear to fan below this mean, while all
OF the older mes are above it.
Extraordinary Agility.
There are no fat people among the
seri, and in respect to physical vigor
they are extraordinary. OF erect yet
easy carriage, great breadth and depth
of chest, very slender of limb and pos
sessing unusually large feet and hands,
they exhibit a bodily activity such as
can hardly be equaled by any other
people on the face OF the earth. The
skin Of their feet and lower legs is so
hard and %calloused as to resemble the
hide of a horse or camel, so that they
are able to run through cactus thick
cts so thorny as TO stop horses and
dogs, or over beds of stones so sharp
that the very coyote avoids the trail.
"One Of the %strangest things about
these savages is that they seem to have
no knife sense, as one might call it.
In other words, they never think of
using a cutting tool under any circum-
stances. II they capture an animal and

but nefer to tear it to fragments with

the robber Seri skim the sand wastes
Of the desert more rapidly than aveng-
ing horsemen can follow them.
THE Seri boys go out after jack rab-
bits in threes and tours, and catch
them by out-running them. When a
rabbit is started they scatter, n fol-
lowing it slowly, while the others set
off obliquely in such a manner as to
head it of and keep it in a zig-zag
course until 1t tires. Then they close
in and finally grab the animal by hand,
frequently bringing it in alive to prove
that 1t was fairly caught. For among
these aborigines it is deemed discred-
table to take game animals without
giving them a chance for escape or de-
tense.

FATHER GETS HIS CHILD.
Sensational Hearing Ends in q De-

Mrs. Jennie Jenkins and that as IRVING
had married again and had a home, the
child would be permanently provided Tor.
The order will contain provision that
the mother may see the child at reasonable
times
This case has been before the superior
court In one form and another for sew
eral months. The original decree gave
allowed to remain with Mrs. jenkins.
When Irving thought of taking the little
one to his own home Mrs Irving took the
matter into court, and Judge Jacobs mOdi-
fed the decree to the extent of placing
the child in the custody of Mrs jenkins
and giving both parents a right to visit it.
Irving then took the case before Judge
Benson In an EFFORT to have another modi-
fication giving him the child He repre-
scented that he had married again and had
a home. His effort to get the child was re-
sisted on the ground that he was not a
proper person To bring up the little one
Mrs. Jenkins and Mrs. Irving No. l both
testified to things Irving IN said to have

Attorney Ronald pleaded with the court
to leave the child where IL was He said
that he felt the time would come when the

From Sunday afternoon until o'clock
last night Harry II. Campbell, a well
known Nome miner, was held a prisoner
in a local bath house. a few moments
after he entered the place his clothing was
taken from him by order of three alleged
friends, who gave orders that he be close
ly watched. and informed Campbell he
was a prisoner, and in case he attempted
to escape he would be taken to jail and
charged with selling Nome mining prop
erty twice.
Last night Detectives wappenstein and
Meredith heard of the matter, and visit
ed the bath house, where they had
talk with Campbell. They then ordered
that his clothing be turned over to him
and informed him that he might leave
at any time ne wished. He was given HIS
clothing, and for the first time in four
days dressed himself in other than his
undertaking. Campbells alleged trouble
is, he says, all due to spree which be-
gan in st. Paul.
Il went to alaska in November, 1898,
and acquired eleven mining claims he
said. Il sold an interest in ten of them
to J. q. Price, of San Francisco, for
s3oo0 cash and $500 payable September 1
last. Last fall | was stricken with scurvy
and came out went to my home in Pitts
burg, where l spent what money / had,
expecting to get what was due me from
Price. Price, however, was taken sick,
Der and 500 in January. With part of
this last money / started for Seattle, but
got only as far as St Paul when | went
broke / was taken sick there and in
order to pay my expenses sold "A half
interest in my eleventh claim TO William
Kinsley.
But after getting out of bed, unfortu-
nately | got drunk, and while in this con-
dition Mr. kinsley now tells me l sold
a third interest in my eleventh claim
to "A man named Bell. | continued my
spree, but was put on the train by friends.
The first thing | remember is being on
the train in North Dakota with kins-
ley and several others. We arrived here
three weeks ago.
Il continued my drinking, and when out
of money, thinking | still owned one
half interest in my eleventh claim, sold
one-third of it to Lynch & McFarron,
of Seattle, for $500. kinsley learned of
IL and informed them | had already sold
1t to Bell in St. Paul. | was brought
here Sunday afternoon by William Kins-
ley and two other men, and told that |
must remain "a prisoner until the matter
was fixed up. and in case | attempted to
escape | would be arrested and made to
face serious charge in court.
II have been treated well here, but am
almost crazy, for | have no recollection
of selling anything to Bell. kinsley Is
trying to straighten the matter out. If l
have done anything wrong 1t was because
/ was drunk and did not know what l
was doing"
