Convicted of Murder, James Swaney
Viii Pass the YuIetide With
His Family

UNIONTOWN, Pa, Dec. 23.-COn-
victed of murder in the second degree
and then restored to his family, James
Swaney will pass Christmas with his
wife and twelve children at his own
fireside on the mountain side near
Haydentown, where the crime was
committed. Then Swaney will return
to Uniontown to receive his sentence
and go to the penitentiary. The kind
ness shown by the court was agreed
to by the prosecution and four brothers
of the prisoner went on his bond for
$4,000.
The conviction grew out of the feud
between the Turner and Swaney fac
tions, which has been bitter for years.
1t is said that William Turner, who
was the victim in this instance, was
sentenced several years ago to a year
in Jail for petty crime. and that, ow-
ing to the inability of the Sheriff to
escort him at the time fixed. Turner
went alone to Pittsburg and presented
himself to the jailer for incarceration.

WANT CIVIL SERVICE
f. EXAMINATION HELD
Police Sergeants Would Exclude New
ly Appointed Associates From
Promotion to Iieutenants.

delegation of police sergeants
waited on Mayor Schmitz yesterday
to urge himSto use his influence to in
duce the Civil Service Commission to
hold the examination for promotion
from sergeant to lieutenant immedi-
ately. The commission has a rule
that an eligible must be six months
in his position before he can take an
other examination and this will pre-
vent the newly appointed sergeants
from taking the examination if it is
held before six months have passed.
The old sergeants told the Mayor they
thought 1t unfair TO bring the new
men in competition with them for
further promotion. The Mayor, while
inclined to the opinion that the new
men should have a chance, promised
to take the matter up with the COM
mission. 1t is more than likely that
another examination will be held be-
fore the expiration of six months.
There is no eligible list of lieuten-
ants and as there are at least two
prospective vacancies it will be nee
essary to hold the examination soon.
Before taking action, however, the
Civil Service Commission will await
a request from the Police Commission
that the necessity exists for an eligi-
BILE list of lieutenants.

from coming out in the open along the
coast and crossing to their native is
land Of Tiburon. 1t is believed that the
Indians are not well armed, as they
have evidently feared to engage in a
fight with DiaZ and his men.
The band passed within a short dis
,tanee of Lamanga and Los Algodones
but did not disturb the inhabitants of
either place. who were prepared for a
fight. Those who saw the Indians say
they are all Seris and that there are
no Yaquis with them, as was first sup
posed.s There are about thirty in the
band. The party under Diaz came up
on the remains Of four horses which
had been eaten by the starving In
dians. When last heard from Diaz and
his men had the Seris completely
hemmed in where they must either
fight or surrender, in which case their
leaders will undoubtedly be executed
and the remainder deported to Yucca
