INDIANS SAY TEACHER
KILLED BOYS BY SPELLS
One Lad Died From Heart Disease After
Bath; Other by Eating Too
Many Prunes.

An enforced bath and too many prunes
have stirred up the Indians on the
Apache reservation, at JicariIIa, New
Mexico. until they have threatened TO
go on the war path. The bath was
given 10 an Indian boy. who died in
the arms of Philip sayles. the indus
trial teacher at the school Heart dis
ease is supposed to have been the
cause OF death.
The prunes wrought destruction by
entering the system OF a boy who is
said to have broken into the larder of
the school and secured a large number
Of them. The boy was on diet as a
result of serious stomach trouble. and
when he eIoped with the prunes he
brought on his death.
Superstition is the main characters
tic OF the Indians on the reservation.
and they think the deaths We're due 20
witchcraft. For that reason they are
very bitter against Mr. Sayles. whoTl
they accuse Of putting an evil spell
upon the boys and causing their deaths.

for next Saturday. and there are hinss
that II something is not done TO punish
the man with the evil eye the bucks viii

morning. Il was hard 10 handle Indians
when they were disturbed by their sup

SONS OF REVOLUTION
OFFER CORNERSTONE
One of -Four Foundations for the JEFF

At Il meeting of the board OF man

to offer SIS a contribution TO the Thomas

erected in Washington a cornerstone
for the structure, which Nill be prop
erly inscribed and so placed that it will
be exposed to view. not hidden, as is
usually the case.
This action on the part of the Sons Of
the American Revolution grew out Of a
suggestion that the memorial building
should have four '.cornerstOnes. to be
made conspicuous parts OF the memorial
above the foundation lines, one % come
from the patriotic societies. one
or ali of them, 10 symbolic the general
patriotic feature Of TIE memorial. an

achievements of Mr.. Jefferson. the orig
inal promoter of public education, and
the father OF the University OF Viz
ginia, and the fourth, the press the
freedom of which Jefferson advocated
and believed in.
1t is intended by those who have given
this suggestion close study. that greater
interest will be added to the memorial
movement if the plan is adopted This is
evidenced by the recent action of the
Sons of the American Revolution. TIE
National Alumni Association Of the Uni
