having stolen our stock, and he said
that he had nothing to do with It.,
but that some of his young men might
have done it. He called all the mem
bers of the tribe before him and told
them that the stock must be returned.
Two young bucks confessed to the
theft and were soundly berated by
the chief for being tracked and dis
covered. His code of morals was that
1t was all right to steal, but that 1t
Is very bad to be found out
1T was late at night and we could
not get our stock before the next
morning, as the horses and oxen had
been turned out to Craze and would
require some search to get them to-
gether. The chief was insistent that
we turn our saddle horses out for
the night, but this we refused to do,
for If by any chance our mounts were
lost we should be stranded. So to be
perfectly safe each man stood all night
and held the bride Of his horse over
his arms. 1t was bitter cold and the
was to chew cinnamon root, which
was pungent tasting and warmed our
mouths. There was little resin weed
growing there, but we soon burned
that. The next morning the chief
had our stock rounded up and we
started back to the camp. We re-
crossed the river and arrived at the
camp about dark. The sentry through
whose laziness we lost our animals

TORTURED GIRL
To Be RETURNED
PRESIDENT DIAZ TELEGRAPHS
ORDERS
Little Jermana Rodriguez Finds Friend
In Senior Antonio Lozano, Mexican
ConsuI-Women Would
Adopt Child

After nearly two years of trouble and
unspeakable torture, little Jermana
Rodriguez, the Mexican girl whom 1t is
alleged was sold into slavery, has
found a good friend in the person of
the Mexican consul at Los Angeles. BY
Senior Antonio Lozanos efforts she will
be returned to the care and protection
of her parents at Chihuahua, Mexico,
during the coming week.
Throughout the entire court proceed
ings the Mexican consul has been deeply
interested, and his wire to President
Diaz yesterday was answered by an
order to send little Jermana back to
her parents.
In speaking of the troubles of the
girl yesterday, Consul Lozano said:
1.-The case of this little girl is very
distressing. My heart has bled for the
poor little waif, who, hundreds of miles
away from her parents and at an age
when a girl most needs mothers care,
has received inhuman treatment.
This case was brought to my no.
tice several weeks ago. Since then 1
have been constantly at work on the
case and shall go to the bottom of 1t.
"At present the little girl Is being
we'll cared for at our expense at the
Ransom home.
"The child is absolutely innocent and
the moment l first saw her l knew
that she had been wronged Many
kind women of Los Angeles have called
today to ask about the little girl They
have read in The Herald the story of
the girls suffering and wish to care for
her. I thank them for their interest in
the defenseless little maiden, but the
girl has her 4-year-old brother with her
and they must not be separated. To-
gether they shall go back to their home
under the protection of the govern
ment of Mexico"
One of the first of the kind-hearted
women of Los Angeles to offer care for
the little girl yesterday was Mrs. r. i.
Other offers were received, but as
threats against the child's life have
been made 1t is thought best to send
her to her parents at Chihuahua.
r. R. Martinez of 527 Solano avenue
was moved to pity by the story of the
girls plight as told in The Herald
yesterday and with his wife offered to
take Jermana Rodriguez into his own
home.
"She shall be one of the family"
said the kind hearted man, land while
our home is not as pretentious as some
that poor girl will be cared for and
made comfortable"
Mr. Martinez was deeply moved by
the girls distress and in case the
Mexican consul should decide to allow
Jermana to stay in Los Angeles Mr..
and Mrs. Martinez will make every
effort to make her forget her past sor-
rows.

17-YEAR-OLD POLICE CAT,
ADOPTS THREE TINY KITTENS

Bewilderment reigns in the central
police station Officer Varey is sore
troubled. Satan" famous throughout
the city bastile by reason Of his dis
tinguished position as the sole survivor
of many generations of the feline
family which have come and passed
with the history of the corridors on
First street is in deep dismay. Like
wise, Tailor McCauley, who is racking
his brain for a suitable home for three
little orphan kittens which the said
Satan" unceremoniously carried into
the station and carefully deposited IN
the helmet of officer Varey while the
latter with coat, vest and hat removed,
was laboring with his daily report in
another part of the station.
The point of the story which the po-
lice officers are trying to figure out is
why Satan" an ordinary every day
cat who in the waning years of his life,
should suddenly take upon him to care
for three little orphan kittens. Satan"
Is nearly seventeen years old. For the
past ten years he has held the position
of chief Of e-animal-attaches to the
central police station. Also for the
last two years he has reigned alone,
with no one to dispute his title of
king of the Municipal Pets" During
these long years he has roamed in the
citys lodging house and has had but to
utter a commanding meow" and the
army of officers that daily gather there,
have hurried to render him service. Yet
at this late hour while he is practically
tottering on the brink of his grave,
he has suddenly assumed the RESPONSE
tilities of a parent and sought to make
his name immortal by laying the
foundations for future happy careers
for three orphan kittens who have not
yet opened their eyes and beheld the
condensed world in which they are
being cared for by the eccentric
Satan"
When in the course of events at the
central police station yesterday after
noon the officers of the fourth watch
returned to the headquarters and were
seated in their private quarters making
out their reports for the day, officer
Varey who had been busy all morning
peering for wild and unlawful autoists
in the vicinity of Main and Sixth
streets, removed his coat vest and
