A clean miss much to his disgust. That

turned without having broken the law.
But no sooner had We arrived at the point

man was arrested for killing deer. and

"'No, street he shouted. I killed him

ment later some officers outside heard the
cadet screaming and then the sound OF
four shots. At that Sanchez emerged. with
a pistol in his hand. The cadet was lying
on the floor dead. He was insolent.' was
all the explanation the murderer deigued
to make, and coolly proceeded back to the
ball.
1T so happened that the alcalde or
mayor of Gualan was a man of some
courage. named Ramon Rubio. When he
heard of this second assassination he
called several officers together armed
himself, and arrested Sanchez in the
midst of a waltz. The scoundrel was
technically his superior. but he took
the law in his own hands and locked
him up in spite of his threats and pro-
tests The balls, as you may well
imagine, came to an abrupt end. Next
day Rubio made a report to the Gov
ernment, and before the week was out
Sanchez was removed to the Guatemala
City jail and the alcalde was appointed
commandante in his place. He is still
holding the position, of at least was
hollins>it last week. What will be done
with Sanchez nobody knows. but the
general opinion is that he went a trihe
too far. Not a syllable of all this has
ever found its way into print. I was an
eyewitness of the Gualan episode from
start to finish. and that night my old
professional instinct gave me a good deal
of trouble. | yearned to write something

WANT PALEFACE HUSBANDS.
But Adventures and Hobocs Haired
From Proposing.
Q'rom the Cincinnati Enquirer }


An ediet has been Issued by the Malun-
eeon Indians, who live in the mountains
OF Hancock county, Tenn. giving the
maidens CT the tribe the right to choose
their husbands from the palefaces. For
merry this was violation Of one OF the
sacred laws of the tribe. and the girl that
married white man was banishd from
Indian society.
But now the chief men have decided
that the daughters of the tribe should Sc
cure paleface husbands, and as an in
dueement they are offering to every white
man who will take an Indian wife from 80
to 100 acres of mountain land.
The number OF acres, OF course, de
pends on the quality of the husband, and
the man who comes well recommended will
get better wife and better farm than
the man who does not.
But the Malungeons want only the best
of whites, and hoboes need not apply. The
applicant must be honest and indus trious
and of good character. He must also give
a solemn promise that he will forever
eschew the daughters of the paleface ma
tion, which, in effect. is that he will love
end protect his Indian wife faithfully as
he would one OF his own race.
The Malungeons made this offer be-
cause they came to the conclusion that
their race was doomed, and that the only
way to save 1t was by amalgamation. Con-
tinuous intermarriage among the Indians
is resulting in inferior progeny. After a
few years, it is said. the Malungeons will
return to their old law Of marriages only
among their own race.
The Malungeons number about $50.
They are the last of once numerous and
powerful race. 4 tradition among them
is that they are descendants Of colony
81 tHbn alayaft ted Wifi
the Cherokee Indians hundreds of years
ago. Another legend is that they are de-
scendants of the lost colony of Roanoke
and the redskins.
The Malnngeons are thrifty farmers and
honest and upright as a general rule.
They are brown skinned and black haired
and have regular features.
