say that he shall inform Castro of this
governments demand for arbitration
and also that il the South American

A peculiar sight was seen by those who went over to No. on Wednesday evening" Itw in the person of full blooded Navajo In dian squaw who for some time has been engaged at the Canyon by the Harveys in the weaving of blankets. She was the mother of three little children, who in every way resem- bled the ordinary Indian child, and were in strange contrast with the appearance of their mother. She was of the ordinary type of India n also, as to stature and facial con- tour, having the high cheek bones of the Navajo, but there the resem- blance to the ideal Indian ended. Her face was of a much lighter shade, almost the color of a Cauca- sian; her hair was of a yellow greenish color, while her eyes, as seen through the half closed lids, were of very pale blue. In all re spects she was fair specimen of the ''albino" except for the color of the eyes, which to complete the scene should have been of reddish or pink cast. She boarded the train and departed for Gallup; from there she goes to the reservation a hun dred miles north It is said that in the tribe there are a number of "albinos" and that they are full blooded Indians. It seems that this freak of nature crops out every gen eration or so.

The NEWS this week received a photograph of the sabre purchased by an act of the recent legislature and presented to ex-Governor A. O. Brodie. The blade, which is the best obtainable, was manufactured by Henry V. Alien & Co.,, of New York Beneath the picture is print ed: "Presented to Ex Governor Alexander O. Brodie by the People of Arizona, 1905. Committee: Hon. w. T. Webb, Hon. John H. Page and Col. Frank Cox" Possibly there could have been many pres ents of more costly nature se- lected and presented to Mr. Brodie, but it is certain that nothing could have been presented him that would have been a more fitting recognition of his services or more appreciated by the recipient than the splendid blade When the major passed through here some time since, en route to the Philippines, accompa- nied by his family, he expressed to the writer his love for Arizona and her people, and spoke with much feeling of the splendid gift, stating that nothing they could have ten dered him would have pleased him more; that he would treasure il with his fond memories of his many friends in the territory, and wher he was called to the Great Beyond turn it over to his son Sandy" a: an heirloom worthy of the name.
