They Were Not Indians.

1t is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some of them as to what
country the strangers might hail from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians. wise as the Puritans Of
old, decided to apply the water test.
If the accused swan, they were
witches; if they drowned, they were
innocent.
One day a party of Indians met a
party of Cinnamon approaching a lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dians, too. filed across and, meeting
the Cinnamon in midstream, pushed
two Of them into the angry, spooming
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

LUREo GIRLS FROM HOME.
Two Jacksonville, FLA, Men Charged
With \ Abduction.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 8.-Accord-
ing to the seory of little Pinkie Joyce,
an abduction has been committed in this
city in which she and her sister Katie
are the victims Pinkie Joyce is IA
years old, while her sister Katie is Is.
Both are good looking, respectable girls.
Since Saturday night they have not
been at home, and their disappearance
has caused alarm. Pinkie was found
yesterday and told of experiences while
absent, which, if true, form an ugly
story.
According to her statement, two con-
tractors, young white men, Wesley Self
and n, M. White, have repeatedly Wis
tied the house lately in the absence Of
their father, James Joyce.
Saturday night the girls were on the
piazza OF their home when Self and
White called. The visitors tried to
make the girls dissatisfied with their
condition and pictured to them fine
clothes, diamond rings and life of
luxury.
The men agreed, according to the
girls statement, to take them to Pablo,
nearby resort, where they would re.
side at the hotel for the winter. The
