CHAPTER xviI.-continued.

Il admire no woman but my wife.
SIR, and as for my interests and char

account to me, any more than the
shell of a caterpillar is to the butter
fly. And now let me tell you some
thing, my good sir. Constance knows
that am her husband"
Has she said so?"
Not exactly. but she might as we'll,
and furthermore, she has never believ-
ed in this man calling himself by my
name"
Rumors OF this sort had come to the
ears of the busy doctor as well as con-
cerring the interest said to exist at
one time between Edes and Mrs. Ham
ilton; but he had not thought much
about the matter, believing it gossip
with little or no foundation in fact
But now he saw, or fancied he saw
his mistake. This eager-faced, en-
ergetic man was far different person
than he had supposed him to be. He
was a man clearly capable of making
and supporting a claim of nature so
astounding that improbable as it was,
II could not fail to create wide dis
turbance. If Mrs. Hamilton Joined

GUS still, and the results could only

The hint that he had been shot to

TaIesman Able to Try Case Against
an Indian Fairly.
In northern California town a
supposed murder had been committed.
The halfbreed wife of an Indian
had died, as the husband said, from
natural causes, and was buried with
out the usual formalities being first
complied with. After lapse of two
weeks the body was disinterred by
the authorities at the instance Of
particular enemy of the accused aud
marks of violence, as the inforInsr
had said, were found upon the body.
The prosecuting attorney was ex-
aiming the talesmen to ascertain if
any of them were prejudiced against
Indians.
Talesman Taylor was upon the
stand undergoing a rather stiff cross
examination.
Did an Indian do you or your fam
lily any harm at any time?" asked the
prosecutor.
No" replied Taylor.
Did you or any of your family ever
have dealings or trouble with an In
diam"
NO replied Taylor, except that

The two men were deadly pale now
and their eyes glittered with excite
ment. Mr.. Carter seriously appre-
hended trouble But he need not
have feared. Each was too much en-
gagged in the effort to maintain calm
ness to have a thought of harming
the other.

any more about this matter, Mr..

said:

either, Edes left the room.
He is as crazy as loon," said Mr.

LIABILITY ACT STANDS.
Law of 1901 Upheld by Colorado Su-
preme Court.

Denver.-In an unanimous opinion,
handed down Monday, the Supreme
Court upheld the constitutionality of
the employers liability act of 1901.
The case upon which the decision
was returned was that of the Vindi-

pany. appellant, VS.. Kate Firstbrook,
appellee, appeal from the District
Court of Teller county. In the lower
court Mrs. Firstbrook secured judg-
ment against the mining company for
the death of her husband, Frank First
brook. The death of Firstbrook, which
occurred in the indicator mine, was
due to the negligence of a co-employe,
and suit was brought under the act of
the Legislature which holds the EN-.
ployer responsible, even though the
death of injury of the employee be
caused by the negligence of co-em-
ploye.
The opinion of the court was written
by Chief Justice Gabbert, all the six
other justices concurring. Its sub
stance is contained in the following
paragraphs:
ut has long been the settled law
that the employer In many instances
is liable to third persons in certain
cases for the wrongful acts of his en-
ploye. This rule of law rests upon the
proposition that he who acts through
another acts through himself. One of
the exceptions to this rule and Its APP
plication is that the employer is not
liable to his employee for the negli-
gence of co-employe. This exception
does not exist because Of any statute,
but because of rule established by
the courts.

Governor YsabeI Will Visit Tib- uron Island and Make
 Them CaptiveS. -...
TOM GRlNDELL'S FATE
 MAY YET BE LEARNED.
YsabeI to Again Attempt to Bring Indians Under Subjec- ton, Though He Failed Par tiaIIy in Former Attempt.
The Copper Queen Store

To completely route the Seri Inclans from Tiburon Island and open that sec tion, as well as the country along the west coast line of Mexico directly across, Governor Ysabal of Sonora is organizing an expedition to visit the island within the next few weeks.
 This information came yesterday in a letter received by E. P. Grindell from Charles Morgan, who has a Iancn about midway between Hermosfllo and the coast opposite the island. He states that while the information re- garding Governor YsabaPs trip has not been given out officially, 1t is gen eraliy believed that he contemplates such an expedition.
 Grindell is especially interested in Governor Ysabal's purpose, because of the mystery that has surrounded the death of his brother, Tom Grindell. and other members of his ill-fated ri buron party.
 Morgan writes that if possible he will become a member of Ysabars corps and make the trip to the island, hoping that once there he may be able to learn through some source the man- ner of Grindell's death.
 About a year ago Governor Ysabal visited the island, capturing 150 h. dians, who he took to his large ranch near Hermosillo and placed at work. Without warning the Indians a few weeks later deserted the ranch In a body and returned to Tiburon Island, where they have since been doing as they pleased.
 Because, of the ease with which they escaped from Governor Ysabal's ranches, the Indians gre said to have become exceedingly bold, and ire quently venture from their island homes to the main land on foraging' expeditions, not hesitating to kill un- protected travellers, prospectors or ranch men.
 Morgan is the manager for the Ruiz Cattle Company, which Is interested in seeing the Indians subdued by gov eTnment authority. The company HAS frequently felt the effect of their for aging raids in the loss of fat cattle.
 Grindell stated that while he would like to join Governor Ysabal's party, 1t will be Impossible for him to again resume the search for his missing brother until some time next winter, when he expects to make the trip if Morgan does not learn anything def- nite.

Cowboy VioIinist" Comes Near Being Killed in Fl
 PaSo Accident.
AN ELECTRIC CAR
 STRIKES HIS BUGGY.
Companion Knocked Uncon- Scious and Remains in That Condition Several Hours. Neman Gets Only Bruises.

Still suffering from cuts, bruises and spraiHs, Sam Newman, the eowuoy violinist," arrived in Bisbee yesterday from El Paso, where on Sunday last he narrowly escaped being killed in a street car accident. ... Newman, with M, Yargas, -E El Paso bartender, was riding in a buggy on one of the principal streets about o'clock in the evening. They were driving balky horse, which suddenly jumped to one side and pulled the buggy across the tracks in front of rapidly-approaching electric car. ..
 Though the motorman had plenty of time in which to bring his car to a stop and avoid a crash, Newman states he made no effort to slow up, prob ably figuring that the occupants or tne rig would get of the track in time to avoid a collision.
 When the crash came it demolished the buggy, threw Newman directly in front of the car, while Vargas landed on his head and shoulders, breaking two ribs and cutting a gash in his -cs'p in which nine stitches had to be taken, 'L4-.- s-~,.--ss -
 While Newman lay prostrate, partly on one side, the front end of the car passed over his body, before 1t was brought to a stop. Before he had time to cry out for help, the motorman ex- ercised enough presence of mind to re- verse the lever and back the car from over Newman.
 'T was not knocked senseless at any time during the accident" said New man last night. q saw the car ap- proach after fell and felt the fender ~t me. I closed my eyes, believing I would be killed right there. How escaped being crushed uo pulp is nrore than I or any one else can un- dCrstand."
 When picked up, Newman was found to be suffering from a severe cut in his cheek, beside bruises on almost every part of his body. He escaped without q broken bone, but WAS su badly shaken up that it may be two weeks before he will have recovered.
 When Vargas Was picked up he was found unconscious. He remained in that condition until Monday morning, it being feared the greater part of the time that he would not pull through. Though not crushed in, his skull was badly injured. When Newman left Fl Paso yesterday morning, Vargas was then considered out of danger, and his recovery only matter of couple of months.
 Newman states that immediately after the accident he was able 10 waIK several blocks, not believing that he had received more than a slight shak- iLg-up. Just after he crossed bridge his strength gave way and he cnllaps- ed, being taken at once to a hospital and placed under a doctors care. He was not able to leave his bed until Wednesday afternoon.
 Friends of Newman to whom he re- lated the accident in detail last night expressed amazement that he had not been instantly killed But for the stopping of the car just at the time it did it is likely that he would have been ground to a pulp under the trucks. He was just under the fender when the car came to a standstill.

Passes on Petition Presented Asking for Better Condi-
 tionS in District,
WANT TO SEE HEAVY
 TAXPAYERS SIGN.
No Doubt About the Necessity of More Room fn Now Con- gested Rooms Lowell Pu- pills Walk to BiSbee,

A meeting of the board of scnool trustees was held in the office vI Principal Philbrook last evening, at which time the petition of residents of Bisbee, Lowell, Don Luis and South BisOee was received and considered. The petition includes the names of ap- prOximately 500 taxpayers and school patrons. It asks for tax levy suffi- cient to raise s10.0O0 for the purpose of adding four rooms to the Lowell school. two at Don Luis and one al South Bisbee.
 At the present time there are four rooms in the Lowell school house, where are seated daily 235 pupils. Notwithstanding this fact, 100 puplIs walk from the Lowell precinct to at tend school in Bisbee. At Don Luis and South Bisbee the congestcd con- dition prevails and 1t is to relieve this that the petitions ask for an expendi- ture adequate to the present needs.
 As an instance of how rapidly the number of children Tn this school dis tricI is increasing, last years scnool census showed a total of 1,412, while a rough estimate induiged in by the members of the board at last nights s meeting places the probable number this year at from 1900 to 2.0O0. ss
 The board stands ready to call the special election required by law, ouG its members are of the opinion that it would be better if the circulators Of the petition would reach out farther and try to get the signatures of more of the heavy taxpayers of this district. It was a notable fact that while the big mining companies have always stood ready to stand a large propor- i tion of the schooltzx burden. none of them was included among the signers. The board will therefore request mat the petitions be further circulated until the list of signatures includes not only the big companies, but the individual taxpayers of high rating as well. As no difficulty is anticipated along this line. it is expected that when the board next meets they will be furnish ed with those signatures which they will request the petitioners to secure.
 As one Of the members expressed himself last night, 1t is the desire of the board that 1t have the material assurance that an election will carry, once it is put to vote of the taxpay- CTS.
 Several applications were read from teachers desiring 10 come to Bisbee. Aside from those received last night, tEere are now ninety-four on the wait ing list. It may be of interest 10 read CTS of the Review to knew the rule followed by the school board in the se- lection of applicants to i'll vacancies. All ether things being equal, and abIE ity unquestioned, it Is the rule of the board to first secure the services. of teachers who have been graduated from the Bisbee schools. Failing in this. the next chs.ce is from among that number who have friends living in Bfsbee. This latter plan is followed
