THIRD ATTEMPT TO
 ENTER REAR DOOR
Burglar Tries Brace and Bit, CfOWbaf and Assault
 and Battery

Douglas, Ariz., Feb. 15.-(SpeciaD--
 Several months ago an attempt was made with a brace and bit to bore open the back door of Scott & Thornton's store. It failed, because the inside of the door was plated with galvanized iron S-a -s
 A few weeks later another attempt was made to break-he door down. but It failed beca,re ks cror was heavily Draced ~NrHs--- , 70
 Last n'ght or th,s morning a party or parties with l crowi.ar made a third attempt on :hay devoted back door. OG' he gentlemen had rein forced rhe door only few days be- fore with some more. sheet iron and bars, bolts and locks. So the poor burglar. after apparently working faithfully with his crowbar for sev- eral hours, only succeeded in break ing one small catch and bending a hinge. Daylight must have driven him from his task, as there were plenty of other stores he might have easily entered, out he did not. Or it may be that he was making a point of this particular store, being irrita- ted and put on his mettle by former defeats. It must be so, for he lost a whole night tearing at the iron when he might have found an easy en- trance into a dozen other big stores in town.
 It is quite likely that this obstinate party started into Scott & Thornton's store several months ago, in the same spirit of fun with which he has en- tered the other stores in Douglas, and only grew serious and finally angry when the joke was turned upon him. Many jokes are just that way. They can play practical jokes on serious people and even make sport of the police, but just let some one practice T physical jest on them. and oh, my!
 Without doubt this burglar is now very angry. and will return next time with a battering ram or a torpedo. The gentlemen who own the store Say they are going to make the door stronger yet. This persistent party may yet be caught in the act. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad" Tn pursuing his own vindication or working for revenge pended on the structure which is soon he may yet fall into the hands of the officers. '-

sisters until finally reached Los An geles. We were ready to start after them when we heard the Indians had surrendered them.'"
 At this point a statement written by Olive Oatman. one of the girls captur- ed. was read. as follows:
 When l saw the Indians it seemed as if they had come out of the ground all of a sudden, and while father was giving them some tobacco, one of the Indians hit him with a club. and as looked around saw another one strike my mother. The baby was lanced, while Lorenzo was clubbed and thrown over some rocks. Some In. dians kept watch over Mary and my self, while others were ransacking the wagons. When they had taken out all they wanted they unyoked the oxen from the wagons and started to cross the Gila river. travelling very fast for a while. Then we camped On top of hill overlooking the whole country. We two girls were tied to- gether with a rope so that we could not get away. We did not sleep, but prayed all night. Next morning we started. and travelled all, that day in the mountains or hills, but there was no water, and we came near choking from thirst, and the Indians had to car Y Mary, as she could walk no further. They had driven the oxen along all the time, and when Mary could walk TO further they would at first put her on one of the oxen, but the OK would throw her off, and then all the Indians would laugh and put her on again, to be again thrown off She being bare footed, and with her feet all swollen. she could not walk. We begged the Indians to kill us. as we could not stand the fatigue and treatment. They laughed at us and pricked us with their lances. and so on.
 "On the third day we reached the rancheria, and there our torments be- gun in earnest. The squavs and chil- dren would beat us with rods and get eoals of fire and make us stand on them. The children would take long sticks, put one end into the fire so they would get hot, and then prick us with the firebrands. -FeFfure was no name for 1t. Death would have been eweet in comparison. For a year we suffered all kinds of tortures, such as 1a living being could tell ox describe.

TWO T IMPORTANT WITNESSES
 TESTIFY AGAINST GROVE

Omaha. Feb. 13.-The most import ant witnesses in the trial today were W. s. Glynn and his son Frank, liv- erymep, from whose stable it is al- legged Grove telepboned to MT. Cudahy on the morning after Kidnapping the latter's son, asking him if he had found letter in his front yard and advising him to make immediate search for it. This letter contained a demand for $25, 1000 ransom.
 Both witnesses positively identified Grove as the man who did the tele- phoning.

During the second year we were treated better. but we had to do all kinds Of work and drudgery for the whole rancheria and for all hands Should we happen to be standing idle even for only a moment. we were sure to get good clubbing.
 The Indians lived on mesquite beans, grass seed, roots, the bark of trees, and on beef, horse and mule meat without salt.
 ''The third year was the worst of all. The mesquite beans failed, and but little grass seed was gathered. Many of the Indians died, and little Mary, being weakly, could not with stand the hunger and cold. One night she called me into her wigwam, and put her arms around my neck, and whispered: Olive, I am going to mamma and papa. I had a dream, and saw them, and they told me to come to them. Good bye Some thing tells me you will get back to our people, The poor child died of hun ger and exposure. She was buried on little stream which enters a larg- CT one that flows in a westerly course, which I think is called Bill Williams Fork.
 'Tn the fall of the third year I was traded off to anotber tribe of Indians Apache Mohaves), and while with them I did not have such hard times. They had more to eat and a better country to live in 1t seemed to me they were another kind of Indians. Here saw the first sign of civiliza- tion. Some of the women wore a piece of calico. Others would have some other cotton goods and beads. But I dared not ask where they got these things. It would have meant instant death to me.
 One day new female captive was brought into camp. and she had on some clothing that did not belong to my Indian tribe. She lived in the same family I did. The captive was a Mexican woman, and from her I learned that there were many Mexi- can people living down the river, and that first kindled in me the hope that might some day see my own race again.
 "Eearly in the spring of 1855 the In- dians had big feast near Fort Mo- have, and I had to help carry the camp equipment. But I was not aI- lowed to go near the feast ground The Mexican woman and I were left at the camp while the feast was in progress. to look out for the horses.
 We selected two of the best horses there. and rode off toward the Mexi- can settlement Later we reached the fort. At first could not make any one believe vas one of the Oat- man girls. Even the women at the fort examined my black hair, and said must be an Indian. But finally my brother came. and he identified me.

Go After Factories.

Every Texan should use his hest
efforts to bring about an era Of
factory building and good roads
making. The two are the great
est needs of the State. Texas is
moving forward at a pace that
surprises and commands the adj
miration of some of the older
states of more limited resources.
They are surprised because they
believed Texas''to be a state withfew
resources, and finding that she
has more natural resources than
they ever dreamed of, they admire
her for the energy and business
judgment displayed in the develop
ment of these resources, notwith-
standing the Lone Star State is
drawing heavily on their popula-
ton, which forces their attention
to her onward march. But with a
determined movement for factories
and good roads, her development
in the future will far surpass her
development in the past, and home
seekers will flock to her soil bY
multiplied thousands. Diversih
cation of farm products has made
the tilling of the soil profitable,
which, with the coming of good
roads to get these products to
market, and factories to work them
up into the manufactured article,
will be much more remunerative,
and the factories, will give empty
ment to thousands, the supplying
of whose personal needs will make
more business, and their pay com
ing monthly, will make for bet
ter uniform business the year
around. Not only that, but the
money spent in carrying these
products to and from factories and
the profit of the middle man, as
we'll as that paid for their man
ufacture will remain right here in
Texas and make of her the great
est commonwealth i'll the universe.
Don't imagine that only large
towns and cities should try for
these factories. They are the very
things that make large towns, and
Van Alstyne should lose no time
in getting her tow line out after
one.-Van Alstyne Leader

KILL INCURABLEs.
Dr.. Walter Kempster. Insanity Expert
Of Guiteau Trial. Favor Law.

Milwaukee,, Wis.-Dr. Walter
Kempster, an insanity expert. who
figured in the Guiteau trial, favors
a law which will permit the putting
to death of anyone whose sufferings
are such that death will come in
the natural order of events in a
very short time. DR.. Kempster
said that he on one occasion years
ago in New York State administer
ed an overdose of morphine to a
woman who had been horribly
burned and who was strieking
with agony while waiting for death
to relieve her from her suferings.
DR.. Kempster said she was the
wife of an army colonel. The
woman had tried to commit suicide
by burning herself. The attend
ing physician started to inject a
hypodermic dose of morphine.
When DR.. Kempster, shocked by
the suffering of the patient, cried:
For God sake, doctor, make it
large, the attending physician
refused and handed the syringe to
DR. Kempster, who filled it and
injected it.
The woman became unconscious
and died soon after. It was case
where death was only a few hours
away, as the woman was so terribly
burned that every moment was
torture of the most horrible kind.
Whether the dose of morphine
killed her or not he could not say.
but it was large enough to do so
under ordinary conditions. DR..
Kempster said he favored a law
which would permit the doing
away of incurables, but the Ohio
law was faulty.
If we could have real experts i'll
this country the same as in Ger
many then it might be possible,
but here the difficulty would be to
get an expert who was COM
petent to decide whether the time
had arrived when it was better for
the patient to die or not. There
were persons, he said, who were
burden to themselves, their friends
and the state. Such persons
could just as well be removed, as
death would be welcome to them,
but great care would have to be
used in all such cases.
If such a law was adopted it
ought to include lunatics and
idiots. They can never hope to
be anything as long as they live,
and to remove them would be a
mercy to them and all connected
with them. The doctor admitted
that it was matter which would
have to be carefully considered,
but as to the beneficial effetcs he
had no doubt.
He said, ia conclusion, that
whenever he travelled, and he had
been in many parts of the world,
he always carried with him some
thing which would put an end to
the suffering of those who were in
torture, had no possibility of living
and were praying for death.

SOFTEN THE BLOW.
Government Trying to Escape Repay
ment of Philippine Duties.

1 MOOOy duu OOl4CllOA OC44OA al Ivy
made a strong effort before tht
supreme court to avert the seriou.
situation which will confront the
government if, under a previou:
unanimous decision of the court, i
is necessary to refund to variou:
American business firms So, 900, 00(
collected Oh imports into the Phil
ippines between May l, 1898, and
the ratification of the peace treaty
with Spain.
The court, having already held
that these duties were illegally col
lected under executive order Of
President Mckinley, as commander
in chief of the army and navy,
the object of the government to-
day was to resist payment on the
ground that an act of congress OF
July l, 1902, ratified the collection
of duties.
The first decision of the court
was hard blow to the administra-
ton, for it meant that So, 200, 600
more must be spent on the islands
at a moment when all efforts are
being made TO convince the Amer
lean people that they are self-sus-
tanned. The court granted hear
ing on two points, as to the inten-
ton of congress to ratify the war
time collection of duties and as to
the power of congress if it had that
intention. Mr.. Moody argued the
first point and Solicitor General
Hoyt the the second. John @. Car
Isle appeared for the plaintiff,
Warner Barnes & Co.
After having asserted that the
language of congress was unequivo-
cal and could not properly have
been construed to mean that goods
of the United States should be ad-
mitted free to the Philippines dur
ing the period named, the attor'
ney general warned the court OF
the serious consequences of an act
compelling reimbursement of the
amounts collected. He declared if
the American firms from whom
duties were collected were paid
back, the many foreign concerns
which had paid duty likewise would
make claims for reimbursement,
which would then be difficult to
answer.
Wide interest is felt in the polit-
ical effect of the decision. During
the debate on the Philippine tariff
bill in the house there was much
talk about the islands being an eX-
pensive burden. They cost $50
900, 900, to begin with, in addition
to the expense of fighting Spain
and suppressing an Instruction, II
was pointed out, while $4,000, 600
was subsequently appropriated for
famine relief, and now comes an
early prospect of an item of So,
100000. Some persons believe if
the decision of the supreme court
stands it will stimulate the desire
in some quarters to get rid of the
islands.
Attorney General Moody faces a
difficult task. Four members of the
court, besides Justice Holmes, who
wrote the previous unfavorable
opinion believe the Philippines are
a part of the United States and that
no tariff should have been imposed,
