INDIAN SCHOOL STUDENTS
Kindly Tribute Paid to Their Princi-
 pal and Teachers.

Readers of The Republican will re- member that last Friday night the ru- pills of the Indian school engaged in G,n oratorical contest, to which the public was invited, and as the result of which medals were presented to the winners. The auditorium at the Indian school Is spacious though it will not seat every
 body in the world and it is the custom of the school when visitors arc invit- Cd to any particular performance, to
 repeat it later for the benfiet of the pupils who are barred from the first exhibition. This was done in tn.s in- cident of the oratorical contest which was repeated on Monday night.
 But in order to throw a little more enthusiasm into the second entertain
 tainme1t the pupils told their y;rinci- pal, Miss Harvey, that they would Ike to have something special to work for Monday night so she very generous ly came to town and secured some pretty badges which were presented to the eight best orators of the class of | sixteen, which is the junior class cf the school and of which Francisco r> go is class president. Miss Amanda Chingren. who is in charge of the Go- mestic science department also added interest to the occasion by furnishiT 2 good things to eat from her lepart- ment. Everything was done most ] happily, and last evening the class president held a meeting after school

ABDUCTED A CHILD
Virail Starr Will be Brought Back to
 Phoenix Tonorrow.

Virgil Starr will be brought to Phoe- nix tomorrow cn the serious charge or abducting for immoral purpos s. thirteen year old Maude Barker. whose parents, MT. and Mrs. Henry Barker reside at Second and Jackson streets. It does not seem at this time that Starr will be able to offer an explanation which will save him from a residence at Yuma, for the Arizona laws in such cases are not only very strict, but they are generally well administered.
 Starr is a disreputable character whom the police have had more or less under surveillance most of the time since he has resided in the city. The girl has for a long time been inclined to waywardness. She is large for her age and unusually well developed.
 She disappeared from home on Tues day night Her parents began an in- quiry for her late at night and it was found that she had gone out on the Maricopa & Phoenix train. A Mrs. Kilgore, who lives not far from the Barkers, said that she had purchased

The girl said that she want ed to go to the carnival on Tuesday night and that her mother would not let her go. She added They'll be sorry for it"
 The father of the girl believed that some man had taken her away from town, and suspected a young man who had been seen with his daughter ire uuently. It was learned later that he was still in town.
 But here the surveillance which tLe police had been exercising over Starr furnished them with q, ready made clue. One of them had seen Starr talking to the girl last Sunday. It was reported to Marshal Kinney and when he had been informed of her disappearance, he connected Starr with it. It was brought out on further inquiry that Starr had been seen about the M. !& F. depoI shortly before the train left. MT. Barker swore out a warrant for the arrest of Starr before Justice Bur- nett and arrangements were made to intercept him at Benson, where he would arrive about 10 o'clock. But it was learned that the eastbound South ern Pacific train was nine hours late at Maricopa yesterday morning and 1 that the Pullman had been attached tc a. freight train for the accommodation | of physicians who were going to attend the convention of the territorial meji- cal society yesterday. Therefore, ii | Starr and the girl had gene in that di- rectiCn, they must be at Tucson.

There, one day, he came upon the
rock Carmilhan, that does not stand
in the sea, but swims in it, rocking and

Then the Tide Mother refined in her
racing horses-the Japan Current,
foaming and Juggling the Polar Cur

white names glistened with ice, and
last of all, the huge blue racer, the
Gulf Stream, that tugged fiercely to get
away and sent the sea smashing to-

Firmly she held them all and made

buffalo was of course very much
frightened, and though tied to a stout
rope he broke it and went rushing
around.
The lion clawed the poor animal
from his neck to his tail, and then
leaped upon the big elephant. He was
shaken off, and just then one of the

what could be done.

Next day a strange white man came

for the sea coast and in a few hours
the camp was broken up. There were
oxen to draw the cages and natives to

no trouble.
We were days and days travelling

happened during that journey. 1 may

Without word Rudolph laid at her

Ashamed and sorrowful, he turned
to go. " Of what avail will be the poor

wealth, strength, beauty and wisdom
cannot free her?"
But at that moment the words of
the Starlight came unbidden to his
lips. They told of the sounding

They told how she went away at last

One night while we were waiting in

fear of storms. but they are really
more nervous over them than human
beings.

up.
The lions panthers and wolves were
bowling and roaring before the storm
broke, and when it finally came, all of

frightened that we tried hard to
break away
While the storm lasted more than an
hour and was very fierce, | think it
would have passed away without any
disaster had not a tree blown down
and smashed a cage in which was the
largest lion, caught only the week be-
fore.
He was a ferocious beast, and l had
heard the men say it would be a hard
task to get him through the forest to
the sea. He was leaping about in his
cage and roaring in terrific way
wksn the tree crashed down.
He was not hurt at all, but as soon
