country to shame. The first practical
step to the end in view was taken on
Saturday, when a committee Of the
new organization furnished the Edgei-
ton Coal company officials with the
names of four members of the lawless
band, and asked that they be dis
charged and evicted, which was done.
Two Of the four left the colony. The
other two secured quarters with par
ties who are suspected of being fellow
members Of the gang. The reformers
will now try to have the company
agree TO Danish from the colony any
one who gice shelter 70 any member Of
the gang.
The identity OF most Of the members
OF the gang has been revealed by one
OF Its number, who was shot in the
thigh by the alleged leader last week,
In dispute over tribute money which
was secured from some terrorized fell
low countrymen.
IL is believed that the gang is anil
lated with the MaAa or some other like
organization, as part OF the tribute
money is sent TO headquarters in New
York, according to the statements
made by members of the gang when
levying tribute.
Among the outrages recently perpe-
trated was the kniflng Of four men
who refused 10 pay the tribute. In
each instance the victim was called out
of his house late at night and slashet
across the face. Arrests have beer
made from time TO time by the Car
bondale police. but in every case To
parties who privately gave the infor
nation which led TO the arrests coul
not be induced to testify In public, S
fearful were they Of the vengeance c

MONKEY FACED OWLS.
A Queer River Cliff Colony In south.
ern California.


On the banks of the Santa Ana river,
in southern California, is a queer col
ony. 1t is situated in the cliffs which
rise above the surface of the river and
has a multitude Of inhabitants. In
passing along the river by daylight one
would not imagine that the cliffs were
inhabited, for the members Of the col
ony are fast asleep in the chambers
OF the cliffs. But at dusk there is a
change. At every one Of the openings
with which the cliffs are perforated ap-
pears a countenance so human-like in
its expression that the beholder is apt
to imagine that these must be the
faces Of the pixies and elves Of whom
he delighted to hear in his childhood
days.
The tiny faces belong to a fanny
having a name nearly as large as the
individuals are small 1t is the family
Of Strix pratincola, or monkey faced
owl. SO much do their faces resemble
those of human features that they are
often called the human faced owl. In
the holes Of the cliffs they pass their
days and rear their young. At night
they emerge in fiocks and search the
fields for mice, gophers and insects,
upon which ttsy live. This owl does
not hoot as do most owls. but utters
low, chuckling whistle as it flies
about in search Of prey.
Farmers and fruit raisers in southern
California are warm friends Of the
bird, for it destroys many Of the pests
which annoy them and injure their
crops. The eggs OF the little owl are
white, and five or six form a litter

In view Of the fact that Council has

city must either enter into new agree

citizens can be supplied with water as
