law-abiding citizens. The other day,
while the sun WAS shining. the town
was invaded by a gang of 10 men. who
came down from the surrounding hills
50 quickly and so quietly that tho
tDwnspeople were completely IN their
power before anyone knew what had
happened. The raiders were all armed
and at once a reign OF terror began.
Women and children were afraid to
venture out on the street and peeped
fcartully from behind closed blinds.
Men seemed to have lost thei: power
to act.
Brandishlng their reyolyers and be-
coming more bold with the constant
use OF whisky, the bandits made tho
day one OF terror. They held up indi-
yiduals on the streets and entered
stores. and with their weapons COM

the robbers demanded. After night had
fallen two of the gang went TO the
airgraves saloon. which adjoins the
Fsirgrayes hotel. They had complete

and every man in the saloon was
backed up against the wall with his
hands in the air. when the door burst
open and Mrs. Fairgraves entered.
Just at this instant Frank Wood. a
Valley Junction man, had started to
grab the gun from the nearest robber,
and the two were struggling when Mrs.
Fairrraves darted forward and
wrenched the revolver away. Then
while Woods and several others threw
the man down. she stood over him. tho
loaded revolver in her hand. and kept
him lying on the floor until the mar

the other bandit made good his es-
cape. Several of the marauders were
caught and are now lodged in the city

to the woods.

1t is thought that the men now in

INDIAN EARTHQUAKE THEORY

are such things as earthquakes. tidal
waves and volcanoes. The major

ha, gave seven years of their lives
to prayer and lasting, that they might
become more pure in the sight of God.
or the Great Spirit. as they called that
being. After they have proved them
selves before their people by perform
ing so-called miracles, such as holding
their hands and arms in boiling water
and not being burned, shot with poi.

ten by rattlesnakes and not poisoned,
and many other tests that | have wit

wise men. The Indians believe that
they can get tie word direct from God,
or the Great Spirit, the same as the
wise men and secrs of old used to do.
| have asked .nese intelligences to tell
me about the cause of the earthquakes
and tidal waves. and they explain ii
like this:
They say volcanoes are the safety
valves of the earth. That the rim
of the earth is gradually cooling. AS
it cools it contracts, making the press
ure on the hot lava in the interior
greater. At last something must give
way, this rim nuGt crack open, or the
volcanoes must burst forth and emit
this compressed lava.
Sometimes IL is relieved in one
way, sometimes in another. Should
the earth crack in niidocean, where :he
crust is usually thinner. then the wa.
ters of the ocean fill in and there is
a great explosion as the water strikes
this great bed of hot lava, large masses
of the rim are thrown up and islands
appear. Sometimes they stay on the
surface of the ocean, sometimes they
fall back and are again covered with
water, but the upheaval so lifts the
water that great wave is started for
the shore that carries death and de-
struction in It's way.
Many of the old safety valves in the
earth are now closing up: only few
remain. The crust is becoming SO
thick that the cooling process is
more slow"
