three chiefs went south to their cactus
plains very crestfallcn.
Before they selected these men the
old Chief Victoria had them all eat Il
piece of rock salt about as big ms Il

down on log or rock and cross theit
legs. Then he watched the vibration
of the feet. which were crossed. The
feet which vlbrntcd the longest or had
the longest strokes he declined to ne.

brated short, distinct and regular
strokes.

in which some authoritative action

POLICE WERE KEPT BUSY.
As a Result There Will be a Big
Docket in City Court.

Seldom In one night was the Police
Department compelled to exact greater
energies in the discharge of its duties
than on last Saturday night when patrol
men in all parts Of the city and par
ticularly on the coast. were kept in Il
constant state of activity from nightfall
until the early hours of Sunday. As Il
result of this big nights work. twenty
two cases will be brought up for hearin:
in Municipal Court this morning.
Perhaps the most interesting among
these is that Of David Naylor, colorrd.
Had David not created disturbance
with an Italian over a head of cabbage
he could have gone homo to his family
in peace, but lie was disposed to make
trouble for someone md Policemen
Enkin and Cornish finally arrested him.
In the first place David had no idea Of
being arrested and he demonstrated his
dislike for such a proceeding very fore
iblv in administering suudry punches and
kicks on the patrolmcn'S anatomy.
Even in the police station his will
spirit still asserted itself and force had
to BE- used in searching him and placing
him behind tn" bars. where he amused
himself in bowling at the top of his
voice. stamping on the floor and rattlne
the doors of tho cell. Hi; wife attempted
to interfere but she was elected from the
station.
Tho other cases range from larceny to
drunkenness.
